YAHOO! I GOT MY VERY FIRST BLOGGING AWARD!i feel so extra special. i can't even begin to say how honored i feel. this may sound silly to some of you professional bloggers out there, but i still consider myself a blogging baby, so this is momentous. its like i just walked my very first wobbly steps! so exciting!
Anyway, this award is titled Van Gogh's Ear Award. It was created by Roger at Idaho Photo. You can read all about the award and how it originated here.
I'll give you a quick paraphrased explanation: Van Gogh was a brilliant artist who is also known for his beautiful paintings, as well as for the fact that over time, his mental state went a little haywire and did some wild and crazy things. One of his more interesting moments was when he cut off the lower part of his left ear lobe, wrapped it in newspaper, and gave it to a local prostitute and asked her to "keep this object carefully." This award can be sent to any "artist" who peaks your interest, whether it be a writer, photographer, philosopher, blogger, comic, etc. Remember, although we all go a little crazy at times, if you feel the urge to cut off your earlobe and share it with a prostitute, "seek help!" I'm here for you blogging buddies!
I was granted this award by Emmie, and if i could give it right back to her I would! Because I can't, I think you all should show her some love for me by visiting her blog and checking her out!
Soooooo.... now the fun part! I get to pass this award out to people I like to read. I feel like its hard to pick out who should get this award, because its specific (i.e to an "artist") but at the same time not specific (i have a very varied idea of what i think an artist is!)
so i've just decided to give it to blogs which i am really interested in lately!
and the winners are....
