APOV: Apparently "Kicking Ass" ...

And here I thought APOV was all politeness, gentility and docility ... and yet today, Impolitic (author of the ever excellent blog Impolitical) awarded yours truly the distinction of being a Kick Ass Blogger!




Thank you, Impolitic - your wink & nod is most appreciated. I am truly honored and humbled by this (and I say of course: "right back atcha!"), especially when considering that I am occasionally (as in currently) too busy writing science stuff (articles, research grant applications) to blog properly. But I'll keep on striving to improve my blog writing so that some day I may truly earn such a distinction ;-)

So here are the rules for the Kick Ass Blogger award:
  • Choose 5 bloggers that you feel are "Kick Ass Bloggers"
  • Let 'em know in your post or via email, twitter or blog comments that they've received an award
  • Share the love and link back to both the person who awarded you and back to www.mammadawg.com
  • Hop on back to the Kick Ass Blogger Club HQ to sign Mr. Linky then pass it on!
Here are now my five choices for those bloggers (or blogs - I've decided to bend teh rules a little, as matttbastard did - heh) I consider to be kick ass ones - this was not easy, mind you, since I can choose only five among so many that I consider deserving of this distinction (I am also trying not to award this to those who already got one, while also trying to avoid nominating Big/Huge Ones):
1. The Peace Tree - headed by none other than The Poetry Man. Give it a try and you won't be disappointed.

2. Shockfront - Ken Anderson never fails to deliver teh goods.

3. Reconstitution - there's no question about it: JollyRoger is a genuine kick ass blogger. And then some.

4. Far and Wide - Steve V. does it good ...

5. The Wild Wild Left - headed by Diane G., the place kicks ass day in and day out.
So, there you have it - and how I wish I could have nominated more than five. Oh well ...

Do not hesitate to give these blogs a visit - including those blogrolled here at APOV - I read them regularly and they all share one thing in common - they all kick ass.

Enjoy!

Whaaaaa??? I thought you didn't do memes? I'm going to take it personally now.

JollyRoger said...

*sniff* And here I thought you didn't care *sniff*

In all seriousness, I'm very honored. I'll have to separate out 5 myself now, and in the world we inhabit, that's always tough :)

JR: you deserve it (and see? Yes, I *do* care! LOL) ;-)

Mentarch said...

Dr. P.: Awards/distinctions and such, yes - I do "do" them ;-)

Ahh, is gratifying to see the meme is spreading (and that rules continue to be broken) *evil grinz*

Yup - *you* will be blamed! (lol)
