Being Versatile is Interesting?

Wow what a week!! Awards week I will call it from this day forward. I have to thank Dolly over at one of the best blogs around, allaboutlemon, for bestowing the Versatile Blogger award upon me. Would you believe this awesome lady managed to get 5 of these awards all at once!! Yes folks, I kid you not, 5! Well done Dolly, you have a great talent which I hope will be recognised via your first book being published sooner rather than later

Now on to the requirements expected of me in accepting this award:

1. Thank the nominator (thanks again Dolly and post links to the nominator allaboutlemon.
2. Post links to 15 other blogs I have read recently and enjoyed.
3. Produce 7 things about myself.
4. And finally post a comment on the sites I have nominated, telling them they have been nominated as well. (this may take some time)

Phew, full time job that!!

Ok so I am fairly new to this blogging world and discovering new blogs almost daily! As most people do I have my favourites so far, and below is a selection of the ones I have read lately in no particular order or level of enjoyment:

Girl on the Contrary       the honey house      

Wonderful Collisions     The Dissemination of Thought

Virgin-Vagina’s     RoughDrafts      Playing with words is fun 

Deep as a Birdbath     Truth about mornings      The Rubbe   

 

The Skinny Jeans andStarbucks Chronicles

goguiltypleasures        thedrinkinghat

I will post a link back to here for the challenge rules on each blog once I find someone else’s note that I like, steal it and use it!!!

Ok then, 7 things about me then eh? Have done this before and I hate talking about me! Oh well…..

1) Motor sport is about as close to a religion as I will ever get… the best activity you can indulge in! (Apart from other “behind closed doors” activities of course

2) I work in the IT trade….. no I can’t fix your PC, Laptop or iDevice for you, piss off! lol

3) One day my guitar playing ability will hopefully be at least good enough to play the whole of Deep Purple’s awesome “Black Night” (dreaming….)

4) In a perfect, or even just a slightly better world I would be a politician who is able to make positive change. (again dreaming..)

5) Coffee is an essential dietary item……. Can’t live if your blood level exceeds your coffee level can you?

6) Music plays a vital role in my life. Combined with humour and Coffee, and some more coffee as well, they are the elixir of life! Oh and I guess oxygen plays a small role there too…..

7) I can’t decide between Android and IOS. Both have benefits and pain in the arse features… I carry one of each currently so maybe both is the answer! I could call it Andios!!! Off to trademark that one right now

Man that was long!!! Thanks again Dolly @ allaboutlemon, I really appreciate this award and hope everyone enjoys her  blog and those listed above along with the many others around that are very entertaining. Here’s to many more blogs!!

Coooffffeeeeeee. .........

I’d Like to Thank the Academy, My Mum and TDoT!

Ok so this has absolutely, positively nothing at all to do with academies or my mum….But it sounded cool didn’t it?

Moving right along then, to my great surprise, and quite possibly soon to be dismay, I have been kindly (or cruelly perhaps?) nominated for a blogging award by that fine word smith and master of maddness over at The Dissemination of Thought. This award is apparently called the Kreativ Blogger Award. Obligatory pic below….

WTF does this mean anyway?

Now I am told that in order to accept this award, I must do several things which may or may not be palatable to either myself or others… Firstly I must list out 10 things people do not know about me… Mmmmm this could get ugly! Secondly I must list 6 blogs I think are also deserving of the Kreativ Blogger Award. That should be easy as there are many I follow which are so much better than mine!

Onto the 10 things then….

1) I am a bloke. Yup born and bred with dangly bits between the legs. Just hoping now that as age creeps up on me I don’t grow any on the chest as well!

2) I have 2 massively awesome kids. 1 of each species to keep us endlessly entertained as they grow up and learn the how’s and how not’s of the world

3) Cars are my passion (outside of my family of course). If it has any potential to fall into the car/auto/motor category, I am there!

4)  The Big Bang Theory floats my boat big time! Has to be one of the best shows everrrrrrr!!!! Go Sheldon Cooper!

5) I hate Spiders….Sucks being me in Oz during summer believe me! Little bastards are watching me….always watching me…

6) I try to play the guitar, BADLY! Learning such a musical instrument in mid-life is so much harder than I ever imagined…

7) I have a vendetta against stupid people. For some reason they are allowed to breed, profusely. This must stop. NOW.

8) I like playing Golf. Don’t do it very often, or very well at all for that matter, but still enjoy it.

9) I crave humor and seek it out anywhere I can. No humor, no life I reckon! The twisted’er the better’er too…. Think Monty Python..

10) I now have a favourite new word – KREATIV. I just love the way it is spelded, and so much more now that I know TDoT hates it with a passion due to his speling and gramar OCD issues!

Enjoy this TDoT mwahahahahaha

Ok so that covers that off…I think anyway. Now for the 6 blogs I believe deserve the Kreativ Blogger Award, in no particular order! Drum roll please……

1- Impassioned Rantings of an Unbalanced Mind

2- Facehookin’

3- Wonderful Collisions

4- You’ve Been Hooked!

5- Solomonian

6- RoughDrafts

If I can remember to do it, your blogs pages will receive a little note to tell you about this!

So there you have it. And you can blame TDoT for that painful read!!! Thanks heaps though, it is nice to know you either have no real friends and are trying to get my attention, or really just found something worth readin’ on me Blog! Reelly, thanks… :-)

Oh I nearly forgot, I found this awesome pic for you  TDoT, which will be appreciated so much I am sure! Enjoy!
