A little over a week ago Cal gave me one o'them blog awards.
It is the Uber (synonym to Super) Amazing Blog Award -
a blog award given to sites who:
Inspire you
Make you smile and laugh, or maybe give amazing information
A great read
Has an amazing design
Any other reasons you can think of that make them Uber amazing!
Well, let's look at this thing sanely.
Is this blog inspiring? Well, I wouldn't think so, unless you find eulogies to the likes of Robert McNamara that inspiring.
Does it make you smile and laugh, or give amazing information? Again I have a hard time believing that, maybe especially the "amazing information" part. I mean, I spend a lot of time talking about a film series which I'm quite sure none of you watch.
I will say that I think by reading this, you get a "take" on films and gossip and news or whateveritis I find to talk about that day you won't get anywhere else. How valuable that take is, of course, is in the eye of the beholder.
Is this blog a great read? Sometimes I think it's a better viewing experience than a read. I'm actually proud of some of the YouTube clips and things I've found.
Does it have an amazing design? Well, it has Blogger Template Rounders 4, created by: Douglas Bowman. I picked it because, as you might guess, it features my favorite color.
Plus there's my links to things like the essay arguing that so-called "torture porn" isn't, especially where a certain series of films is concerned. I put that up because I occasionally get people finding this blog from really disturbing search terms, and I wanted to draw my line.
Then of course there's my oh-so-clever name for the archive feature (the "Wayback machine") and the explanation of why the blogs called what it's called.
Anything else that makes this blog "Uber amazing?" Not that I can think of, but Cal apparently thought so enough to bestow this award upon me, and I thank him.
Actually he originally awarded it to "Ken at Dragon Dancing with the Buddha," but I'm not one to hold a grudge (ask Tennessee).

Okay 'Ben' my dyslexia not withstanding you are in no position to judge how good a read someone else finds your writing. I happen to enjoy it and appreciate the opinions that often jive with my own but also express whatever outrage I am feeling about a topic at the time. So take the silly awards and be happy you Gloomy Gus. lol
