Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas all! I know it is probably not PC to say Merry Christmas, but I’m saying it anyway…I wanted to hand out some Christmas presents to my favorite bloggers as a way of saying thank you for all of your support this year…

With no further ado:

The Giant Bear Hug Award

Marcus—Mind-of-Marcus

Marcus Langford is my brother-in-spirit, highly intelligent and full of love and light…I get a kick out of his musings and rantings and overall view on life…I even find some reason in his liking of Bill O’Reilly (yeah, I am surprised too!)…

The Martini Award

Gerard Butler—After Dark

Danielle—Not Your Average Citizen

These two sites are chock full of sistas who are forward thinking and like the same things that I do: a good-looking man, some good music, and something that is going to stimulate our minds. These ladies (Noelani, Danielle, Ghidrah, Jada, Rae, and Ebony Rose) always leave me with something to think about, something to look at, and something to go out and find…I love you girls!

The Icy Cold Beer Award

Mike—The Happy Go Lucky Bachelor

Mike, the bachelor through and through, makes me laugh with his comments and his blog postings. He has exquisite tastes in movies and music and shares his ruminations with us all…the funny and true stories on his blog are classic!

The Beautiful Blogger Award

Melissa—AfroSugar

Regina—Regina’s Family Seasons

Filled with pictures of beautiful Black Women, AfroSugar is an inspiration; it is usually my first visit every day to see what treat it has in store…the collection of pictures is awesome! What a beautiful concept! Regina—I can’t say enough about this blogger; she has been a true inspiration to me…I love her devotion to her family, her love for her children and granddaughter, and her undying faith. Two beautiful sites celebrating the beauty of Women…fabulous!

The Educational Award

D. Yobachi Boswell—Black Perspective

Villager—Electronic Village

I always come away from these sites a better person. The knowledge here, the love for our people, and the incredible amount of information is unmatched.

The Insightful Award

Manchild—When Least Expected

This site touches my heart in many ways…the pure motivation of Manchild’s words are enough to make me want to move, change, keep focus on those things which are important. Sometimes just with a sentence, sometimes with a well-written post entry, Manchild is able to make you ponder your purpose…good stuff here!

The Medal of Awesomeness

Vanessa—On The Blackhand Side/VanessaByers.net

Cooper—Wonderland Or Not

Awesomeness is a word that I use when I am rendered otherwise speechless; the views shared on these sites, the creativeness, the magic in which these two ladies opine and interject their views is…awesome!

The Sexy Blogger Award

Duane-Francis

A man that writes poetry is like a man that can sing to me…pure sexiness. I melt easy. Being able to put together words and make them say something beautiful is a gift; Mr. Duane has an incredible gift…I thank him for sharing his gift with us…

The Witty Blogger Award

Invisible Woman—Black Cinema At Large

I absolutely love my visits to IW’s site…her wittiness and sophistication shine through in her posts. Her views on what is going on in Black Cinema are refreshing and real, and she has a natural sense of humor that is energizing.

My Favorite Blogs Award

Orville Lloyd Douglas—AngryGayBlackCanadian

OHN Staff—Oh Hell Nawl!

First, Orville—I love a good writer; someone that knows how to use his/her talent to the fullest capacity. I just happened to be trolling the ‘net one day and ran across an article entitled, “Shades of Blackface”…truly amazing! I searched and discovered O’s blog and have been in love ever since! He writes from his heart and his postings can be long, but that is what happens when you sit down and just start writing…you sometimes realize that you’ve written a book once you’ve stopped. He is amazing and I love to stop in and read what he has to say…

Second, them fools at OHN—I have only recently been involved in the ignance over at OHN…but now that I’m in, there is no turning back. Oh the tomfoolery that goes on over there keeps me in stitches! I used to (notice I said used to) have a strict rule that I would not bring up my blog at work, would not cruise the blogs while working, but these people have me breaking that rule because I need to know what is being said over there at all times!

Thanks again to all of you! Within the next few days, I will attempt to send the awards to you via e-mail (if I can locate your e-mail addresses)…

It’s all love, baby…
