Pay it forward…
I received the nicest award from fellow ‘funny blog buddy’ The Good the Bad and the Ugly yesterday (see below) and I have to admit, it made my entire week! So, before going any further into this, gbu2 – thank you from the bottom of my heart!
As I understand it though, receiving an award comes with some responsibility and a few rules to follow. So here they are:
- List 6 things that inspire your creativity
- Pass the award on to 7 more ‘kreativ’ bloggers
- Link back to the person who gave you the award
- Link to the people you are passing it on to and leave them a comment to let them know
Answers:
6 things that inspire my creativity:
- My partner
- Music
- Television/Movies
- Friends
- My pets
- Social Media
7 ‘kreativ’ bloggers I would like to award:
This part is hard for me as well because there are so many blogs that I absolutely love. I will however, limit my choices to regular people’s blogs who don’t have loads of money backing them (eh-hmm HuffPost – you know I love ya, but big money backing forces the rest of us to actually work for our readers).
- The Good the Bad and the Ugly – 1st for becoming a blog buddy, 2nd for always showing support in comments when I’m begging for readers’ support, and 3rd for always making me smile on a daily basis
- WTF – 1st for being a great friend in person, 2nd for having the courage to make a foray into blogging despite some apprehension, and 3rd for saying it like it is
- In Repair – 1st for inspiring me to stop being a self-proclaimed news ‘regurgitator’ and be myself, 2nd for becoming a true blog buddy, and 3rd for sharing his personal journey so openly
- Sideon’s Sanctuary – 1st for becoming a blog buddy, 2nd for making me feel sane despite some interesting religious background baggage, and 3rd for not mincing any words and saying it like it is
- Presque Isle Files – 1st for becoming a blog buddy, 2nd for speaking up, and 3rd for being funny and managing to make me smile
- Whisper in the Void – 1st for becoming a blog buddy, 2nd for being as real as real can get, and 3rd automatic brownie points for living in Florida
- Catch the Spin – for always being creative
Here is your award:
So, thank you to all of you guys, Happy Friday and Happy Blogging!

Critical Bits-O-Info ‘Bout Me
Psst…hey, it’s me, the shadow in the middle. Just a 29.6 29.7(add the number after the decimal point to my eternal age) year old guy living in Tampa, Florida who happens to be gaining insight on what life is about on a daily basis.
I’ve found blogging to be a great outlet for me when I’ve got something to say and no ‘in-person’ audience. I actually like when other people add their 2 cents to the conversation as long as it’s respectful.
I feel like one of the luckiest guys around to have an awesome ‘blogmily’ (blog + family = blogmily) and I’m introducing them so you can follow the story…
WTF – My twin except she’s a girl, oh and I seem to have a better tan, and yeah we don’t have the same parents…
Al – My biological sister…she doesn’t have a blog, but you’ll see her in comments a lot, especially if she thinks somebody is messing with me. She’s awesome and very pregnant so I wouldn’t suggest messing with her if I were you.
The Other One – My better half, the one that completes me and the one that grounds me when I get too far out into the stratosphere.
In Repair – Brian, the super-nice one in the ‘blogmily’ that is forever finding the good in others and inspiring individuals to be better people.
The Good the Bad and the Ugly – The forever funny one in the ‘blogmily’ that keeps most of us in perpetual stitches while updating us on her life journey out west. We affectionately refer to her as gbu2.
Sideon – The most direct, say it like it is, cuss you out and take you out to dinner after person in the ‘blogmily’. I have learned so many one liners from this guy it’s sick…definitely worth getting to know.
Presque Isle Files – The younger, full-of-life and great stories, warming up Lake Erie on the PA side member of the ‘blogmily’ that always has an interesting take and is not afraid to say how he feels.
There are some others and I’ll add them when I have a few free minutes…but this should give you enough background to begin to understand the interaction. Hoping you’ll join the party…

Very sweet! I just want you to know how much I LOVE YOUR BLOG. And no, I didn’t get my check this week. But you truly are creative, talented and very funny!
Keep it up, because I need you to get through my days!
Aww, thanks Deek! I gratefully accept this award on behalf of the dozen-or-so voices in my head, and I’d like to thank the Academy (that’s the Crisco Academy of Using Greasy Food Products for Non-Food Purposes), and my Mom and Dad, of course, without whom I would be normal.
Fantastic
Thank you.
I’m slowly (yes – slow as molasses in winter kind of slow) coming out of my non-blogging.
You’ve helped inspire me to get off my ass again.
Thank you.
I feel totally undeserving of such an accolade, but I will accept it proudly. Thanks, man!
@Brian – you are completely deserving of the award and you’re welcome! Don’t forget the rules when you receive an award though…you have some awards to give out yourself.
@Sideon – glad I could be of service…but know this, you inspire and entertain with your words, so keep it coming.
@Doug – That was the best acceptance speech I’ve seen yet!
Thanks for the cool award. I too like reading your blog.
Dan
