I know it’s been awhile since I’ve written. If you’re reading this for this first time it hasn’t been awhile to you. Either way it doesn’t matter. I’ve been up to a whole bunch of nothing other than more surgeries and tons more self loathing. It’s awesome!
I did receive some good news. I have been nominated for an award! Yay! The 2007 Okie Blog Award nominations were announced and my name was on the list. I call them “The Bloggys”. Now how does one win a bloggy? I dunno. I don’t even know how I got nominated. I was nominated in the Best Humor category so that’s good. I suppose. I mean I’m funny, sure, but not too consistent. That doesn’t mean I don’t want to win though.
In order to win I have to decide if there are funnier blogs in the same category as mine. I’ve gone ahead and looked at the other nominees and listed what I thought about each of them in an effort to prove to myself that I’m truly the funniest.
Bee Spot - It’s a good blog. Kind of funny. Kind of quirky. Funniest? I dunno. It’s thorough and involves OU and some good clips by bands I like, but I dunno if it’s the funniest.
Daily Bitch - It’s the name of the blog, not blatant use of profanity, so calm down. It’s interesting to people who find that sort of thing interesting I suppose. Again, not being mean but I feel a blog should at least have a broader scope than one’s own personal interests. Then again I haven’t won any blog awards and that’s probably why.
Don’t Try This At Home - Kind of funny in that way that people with kids find things funny. I dunno if it’s the funniest however. Again, just my opinion.
Friday Playdate - More kid related things. That’s not to say it’s bad, it’s just not relatable to those few of us that don’t have children.
PhotoTune - This is a site with photo-shopped pictures of Oklahoma political leaders in crazy situations. This will surely be interesting to people outside of the state. Not really and not too funny.
Redneck Diva - This blog was voted the funniest blog last year and won the humor bloggy. It will probably be a back-to-back win because people like things like this. Kind of like how people like “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader” and anything by Larry the Cable Guy.
The Lost Ogle - This is a good blog that manages to focus on local goings on and is funny. Kudos. Not that my kudos mean anything, but still.
Y2K Survivor - Eh. S’ok I guess.
Bible Belt Babylon - This is a smart and funny blog written by a smart and funny guy. I’m not talking about me either. Shocker.
I think that mine should win just because it’s a pity vote. YAY!
Go here to vote.
