I have been honored with yet another award to add to my already bulging trophy case. This time, it's from Gary, the blog author of the wonderfully inspirational blog, klahanie. Thank you, Gary. Not only does the man write uplifting, positive posts, but he writes in many different genres ranging from the humorous to the serious and everything in between. If, by some miracle, you haven't checked out Gary's stupendous blog yet, you should do yourself a favor and do so... right after you get done here. :)
As always, there are rules that seem to go with blog awards and, as usual, I go along with the ones I want to follow. Here are the rules:
1. Thank and link back to the person who awarded this to you.
2. Link posts by you and ten fellow bloggers that you find inspirational.
3. Forward the award to those ten fellow bloggers.
Number one- done and done.
Number two (part 1)-
I'll name 4 posts I've done in the past that I think would qualify as inspirational. I know I've done more inspirational posts than this but it would take me quite a long time to go through more than the 400 posts I've done so far.
Of course, "inspirational" is a matter of perception because some folks will either be inspired by what you've written or say, "meh" to it and would rather watch two flies fuck on a steaming turd.
If it were up to me, I'd have you check these 4 posts out, for true inspiration, in no particular order. I think they were among my best as far as being inspirational is concerned.
Number two (part 2)-
I'm going to pass this award onto 3 deserving bloggers that I've recently gotten to know through their blogs and comments. Each one is inspiring in their own distinct ways and I'm going to leave it up to you to visit their blogs, which I highly recommend, in order for you to see what makes them inspiring.
Here are the three bloggers, their blogs and the links to their posts that I have found immensely enjoyable and inspirational.
1st- Annabelle, from the blog, Don't make it like I'm dumb. Inspiring post: Is the color of your parachute important if the damn thing won't open
2nd- The Minute Man's Wife, from the blog, The Minute Man's Wife. Inspiring post: Hitting Mr. Dog with a Stick
3rd- Billy Pilgrim, from the blog, Enjoy The Moment. Inspiring post: Earth Hour
So there you have it, folks. These are my three picks for this award. For those recipients who have won the award from me, please feel free to take the award and follow whichever of the above rules that meet your satisfaction. As for rule #3, I'm going to let the award recipients know they've been awarded, just in case they don't see this award post amongst the slew and frenzied pace of posts I've been putting up this month of April. :) With the rate I've been hammering them out, lately, there's a 50/50 chance they might miss this one. lol.
Take care, everyone and be sure to check these exemplary blogs out. You won't regret it!

Congratulations on the award! Totally deserved =]
Erika- Thank you. Very kind of you to say!
Congrats on the award.
Mike Golch- Thank you, Mike.
Congrats! Now to stalk 3 more inspirational people...
The delicious Sir Tom Eagerly says:
Sir, you are becoming a legend in your own lunchtime.
Here at Castle Eagerly I am drinking a toast to your good fortune with a single malt whisky from the Dalmore Distillery in Inverness, Scotland.
Have you noticed how it's all about me Kelly?
Ah well, such is life. Cheers!
Congrats. Will definitely check those out.
Lost.in.Idaho- Thanks, man! Happy stalking!
There's a strange sense of deja vu as I say:
Congratulations once again on well-deserved recognition. Not far till the end of the month now and still doing great stuff!
Bazza’s Blog ‘To Discover Ice’
Sir Tom- Yes, and I take pride in being a legend in my own lunchtime. You'll find that I'm the baloney in my own baloney sandwich. Don't know what that means, really, except it might have something to do with what I'm having for lunch, today. I thank you for toasting my good fortune, Sir Tom. I hope you're enjoying your whiskey from Scotland, friend. Cheers! You say it's all about you? Oh, I don't believe that you believe that, Sir Tom. I think you're in fact a very kind, generous and warm-hearted person. And now, I must frolic about in the land where people have permanent happy smiles on their faces and colorful rainbows coming out of their asses. What a glorious life! Take care, my good man.
PorkStar- Many thanks, man. Yeah, I recommend that you do.
bazza- Hahaha... Yeah, I know what you mean about the deja vu here. :) Thank you for saying that. and thank you, sincerely, for saying I'm still doing great stuff. It really has been a challenge, especially recently, to post every day and keep up with my outside life but I'm determined. Like I said to Rebecca, when this month is up, I'll likely take a short break from blogging to recharge the ol' batteries, so to speak. Then I'll return. Have a Tuesday! lol.
Congratulations on the award, and thanks for the links, both to your own posts and the other sites. I'm glad I took the time to check each one out in turn.
DocStout- I thank you for checking out my own post links and the other bloggers' post links. I truly appreciate it, man.
Hey Kelly,
I want to thank you for participating in what I thought was a pretty exhausting award to set up. Considering your ongoing blogging marathon, I'm amazed at just how prolific you have managed to stay.
Thank you very much for your kind words in regards to my blog. It is most appreciated.
I'm going to have a further read of the three bloggers that you have forwarded the award onto. If you recommend them, they must be awesome. Well done to all three.
And dude, I shall duly have a reread of your four posts. You know, in spite of your zany stuff, you are an inspiration and a thoroughly kind and decent man.
Cheers friend :)
congratulations on your award and thanks for thinking of me. i'm currently inspired to watch some stanley cup playoffs on tv.
nothing inspires me like tv.
klahanie- No problem, dude. It was just a matter of finding the time. I can easily see what you mean about the "exhausting" part. Award posts aren't easy, especially if you're handing them off to ten different bloggers. Wow. Yeah, the blogging marathon is something else, isn't it? I replied a little more about that aspect on it on Facebook to ya about an hour ago. You're welcome for the kind words, my friend. Yes, please read the other bloggers' blogs. Good stuff. I thank you, in advance for rereading the four posts. who knows? You might have missed one during this blogging frenzy of mine. :) I very much appreciate you saying I'm an inspiration and being kind and decent. I aspire to be that way. The blog is a near perfect honest reflection of who I am in real life- good or bad. Take care!
billy pilgrim- Thanks, Billy. And you're entirely welcome for recommending you for the award. So you're currently inspired to watch the hockey playoffs, eh? lol. I have that much enthusiasm for TV when I watch an episode of Family Guy or Fringe. :) Take care, friend.
Thanks Kelly! I'm glad you let me know because I've been going crazy at work this week because it's school vacation and well.. everyone is on vacation!! Go figure!!
I feel equally inspired by you! You're definitely one of a kind!
The Minute Man's Wife- You're welcome! Sounds like you've been busy-busy-busy and you've been left holding the bag, so to speak, while everyone enjoys a break. I thank you, sincerely, for the kind words. I think you are uniques, as well. Take care.
