LOOK!
Admittedly, I did a little P.R. work for myself yesterday. As I was reading one of my new favorite blogs, 20 Prospect, I stumbled across a badge of his:
Intrigued, I clicked on the link and found myself at the Blogger’s Choice Awards.I began to browse the site, and realized that the good people at the B.C.A.s host an open-voting competition to filter out the true blogging gems from the rest of the rabble.
Anyone can vote, for any blog, at any time. You are restricted to one vote per blog, but you get an unlimited number of votes. Like a site you see? Send them a vote. Like their design? Send them a vote. Cast as many votes as you wish!
Seeing that Oprah was not about to nominate my blog anytime soon, I did a little shameless self-promotion and entered my blog in 3 categories: Best Humor Blog, Best Pop Culture Blog , and Best Blog About Stuff. You can click on any of these categories and choose to send a little voting love my way. And, you can also check out some other blogs in these categories as well! It’s a great networking tool!
I’m not sure what the winners receive, but I’m sure it’s something like the Holy Grail, Tom Hanks’ toupee, and the original painting of the Mona Lisa…I think…
And while you’re at it, why don’t you vote for 20 Prospect in the Hottest Daddy Blogger category? I stumbled onto his site while reading one of my current subscriptions, and any guy who gives out Unicorns Humping Leg Lamp Awards is a-okay in my book.
I’m just discovering the in’s and out’s of his blog, but he recently published a beautifully written post on love, loss, and everything in between. I was so moved by his writing that I absolutely had to feature him during my Friday post. Suffice it to say, I had to break out the tissue box, AND the Swiss chocolates to recover.
So, strap on your hiking gear, dear readers! For What the #FF?!? Friday, we’re taking a field trip over to 20 Prospect’s blog and reading his article “Bridgeport Ferry.” I hope you’ve turned in all your permission slips…last one to the bus is a moldy tub of Cool Whip!

He’s a new one to me. Will be heading his way.

He’s great!

Seriously. I’m ugly crying at 9 in the morning. I feel like I need a drink and a hug. He is an awesome writer, though, really moving. Will definitely be casting my vote for YOU and 20 Prospect!

A glass of wine needs to perfect time, Tori! That’s all I’m saying!

In our house we say….1st, 2nd, 3rd….elementary nerd. And you don’t want to be the nerd. Although, they make more money, and get the best looking mates. Hmmm…
I’ll pop over to the ferry and you know you got my vote!

I believe I am that nerd…I play video games, know Star Wars stats, and can name most movie themes in 3 notes or less….qualified nerd! Thanks for the vote!

I will help you with the horn tooting in any way I can.

I just have 3 days schedule for next week, but this could possibly lead to something bigger!

This was in reference to my teaching gig…I am aware now how confusing this might have been 🙂

I have voted you the sexiest blogger of 2011, the greatest piller of strength of 2011, the most understanding wonderful woman in my life of 2011. To be fair, you are the only nominee. To be even more fair, the contest is only in my mind.
Posted by auntbethany on January 31, 2011 at 10:06 am
Uncle Lewis, you bring tears to my eyes. I don’t know how I won all these awards…but quite honestly…the best award is having you in my life.

I’ll have to check it out based solely on the lamp/unicorn thing. That’s a winning combination if ever there was one.

Chase, you should check out the Blogger’s Choice Awards! I’m going to nominate you for “Hottest Daddy Blogger.” Not because I’ve ever actually seen a photo of you, but because you’re a daddy…and a blogger…so naturally, the hotness will apply, right?

Congratulations on your (self) nominations! I will be sure to vote for you (as soon as the effects of all this beer wear off and I manage to register at the site, etc, etc…)
Going to check out this hot daddy blogger guy now…

Pass that beer along this way!
Posted by bobcb518 on January 31, 2011 at 7:34 am
Awesome. I will have to go vote for you. You deserve a Bloggers Choice Award. Next stop…People’s Choice!

Thanks, Bob! Glad to see you back in the game!
