Since I have been recently awarded the Brilliante Weblog Premio by two very lovely bloggers (Knaphrodesiac and Half-Deserted Streets), I felt it was time to return the love (though clearly the award could use some design-tweaking). Below you’ll find the five bloggers to whom I’m passing this award, in addition to a few lines about their blogs, written by them. Enjoy!
• SoMi ¦¦ learning :: exposing :: sharing — Not only has Nilsa done an awesome “Issues” series in honor of the upcoming election (and allowed me to guest post as part of said series), but she also got married this past weekend! I figured this could be a wedding “gift.” And she certainly deserves it. Nilsa writes, “Learning about the world :: Exposing things previously unknown :: Sharing with blog- readers :: How a seemingly random set of experiences and observations thread themselves together.”
• Not a Girl, Not Yet a Wino – Kris offers her readers thought-provoking posts that are well-written and truly inspiring. She’s also got a sense of humor as snark is a regular feature. Kris writes, “I started this site three years ago as an outlet for pent-up creative energy. During that time, it’s become a good friend and a most attentive lover.”
• Cleveland’s a plum – Alexa’s Featured Blogger Friday series makes me laugh out loud every Friday morning. Alexa wrote, about her new series, “every friday i will be featuring a blog that i love by having the featured blogger fill out the survey below. it’s all sorts of wrong, potentially inappropriate, and i love it. i’m all up for making people uncomfortable! it’s still fun though. i hope you all enjoy the feature and learn a bit more about each other in the process.”
• Chelsea Talks Smack – Chelsea has recently wrapped up an extended journey through Europe. Her stories have been amazing — the kind that inspire you to pick up and go. Here is an excerpt from a recent post on her adventures: “Notes from the Road: People smoke, drink and guzzle caffeine like a motherfucker….we’re downing smoothies, vitamins, 8 gallons of water and staying “smoke free” and we’re still unhealthy. I wonder if our health has more to do with our minds than our bodies??“
• Nicopolitan — In addition being handy when it comes to tech-help (as I know, from personal experience), Nico’s blog is often laugh-inducing, particularly his latest post entitled “It’s Twitter, Bitch.” Nico writes, “I break and reconstruct this blog all the time. Blogging is already a popular and practical publishing platform for what I do and for that in which I’m involved. The only way to learn constructing and reconstructing is to dive headlong into it. And the personal stuff? That’s just good fodder for practice. After all, there is a real person behind this username.“
