Thinking Blogger Awards

I want to thank the academy



Well, now I've gone and done it...I won an award. Actually, it's a nomination, but so what? It forces me to actually express myself here, which -as anyone familiar with this blog knows- I almost always leave to others (aside from the comments). It forces into the everlasting cement of internet ether the shame of my obsessive coat-tail riding.


I want to thank all the little people...people far bigger than I'll ever be.


Nominated by Brent at An Angry Dakota Democrat (who also nominated JoeC @ Hard-boiled Dreams of the World, who, in turn, broke the rules by nominating me again -and who's words I've clipped to explain this) was gracious enough to honor me with The Thinking Blogger Award — a meme award, where every somebody who’s lucky enough to receive the award in turn tags five bloggers that make them think. Thinking’s a good thing, see?

My sincere thanks to Brent and Joe, my only regret is that Brent chose to use the words neo-con dreams, instead of neo-con fears in his description of this blog.

Here are the five blogs that I tagged with this virtual symbiosis that I don't *ahem* believe have been nominated:

1. Blog of Funk - The every day story of the smell of sex...and so much more (as if that weren't enough). Deek Deekster bends you and shapes you up, in so many ways and positions.

2. Blog ho -The light and bane of my existence, and yours.

3. The Map is NOT the Territory -Amazon warrior priestess slices and dices the mind of man. The sweetest stepping-razor you will ever find. The occasional world of Paula Daunt.

4. Malung-TV-News -Expect the unexpected from Dave Bones' excellent London adventure.

5. Hard-boiled Dreams of the World -I can break the rules, too, Joe.
JoeC plugs you in.

Apologies to all who should've made the list, it's early and this has been an exercise in stream-of-conscious vetting. Now, I must rest...
