Special Sunday Post

Blog With Substance


I usually don't post on the weekends, but here it is: Special Sunday Edition!

I recently received an award for my blog.  Actually, it's my first one.  It was given to me by Booya Bobby.
It is the "Blog With Substance" award.

I know it's kind of feminine, but what do you expect when a majority of bloggers out there are women?

My job now is to sum up my blogging experience, philosophy, and motivation into 5 words.

#1 Relieving
-I discovered that blogging is a perfect way to dump all of those excess thoughts running around my head.

#2 Enlightening
-Now I know how little I really knew about the internet...and now I'm learning.

#3 Enjoyable
-I guess this falls under the philosophy category.  My unofficial slogan is "Think, laugh, and maybe even learn something."  Hopefully, one of those activities is enjoyable to readers.

#4 Practice
-I'd like to be published one day.  Blogging is a means by which to practice style and theme.  It's also my own personal lesson to myself in discipline.  I post Monday through Friday, rain or shine (metaphorically speaking).  I've missed very few and I'm happy about that.

#5 Community
-The blogging community is exactly that.  Among all of the B-Level blogging going on out there, I've run across some real A-List bloggers, people who really read and comment.  They have great content, too.  It's a fulfilling community.

Now, I'm tasked with passing on the award to 10 others.  So, here they are:

MattBaxx
Ups Downs All Arounds
From the Stupidest Corner of My Mind
It Is a Big Deal, It Is to Me!
Quintessence
Little Lost Soul
Red Pen, Inc.
This Ain't PMS
Bianca and the B-Sides
Diary of a Doll

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

To be honest Vic, I'm pretty sure I was considering your blog, but for some reason I thought you already had this award. I can't remember. (I wrote this like 3 days ago.)

But I like yours, too! :)

Thanks for the shout out. I will try to live up to the spirit of the award. Speaking of which: what exactly is the spirit of the award?

Blogging is good way to put things in order in the otherwise jumbled up realm of mind...all the best!
