2. When I left college I was involved in calculus, physics and psychology, a far cry from where I am today

4. I grew up a very spoiled, very shy person who only did what he was told…..HA grandma check me out NOW..
5. I would rather read the same book 10 times in a row then one bad book once
6. I haven’t owned a television in about 4 years
7. I spent 3 years as a vegetarian, due to this I cannot eat meat off of a bone or I get sick

My Nominations (I can only do 10 atm)

This was difficult for me as I don’t yet follow a whole lot of blogs and the ones I do follow are pretty “OG” so they have been there done that in terms of awards.  So here are my nominations in no particular order, regardless of seniority.

Also I understand not everyone is into the whole award thing, if a person I nominated declines the nomination I completely understand,

1. sheila sea poetry
2. misanthropy misunderstood
3. orthodox sunflower
4. Haikugirl’s Japan
5. be like water
6. bdhesse
7. fred colton
8. Shawn L. Bird
9. cats, crafts and chaos
10. Insight Outward

Even though these awards are just “handed out” it still means a lot to me having been thought of highly enough for one of my peers to have nominated/awarded me with this.  Thank you everyone for what you do,  remember “Wherever life takes you, always be you”.
