Mike's Bloggity Blog

The results of the Canadian Blog Awards were announced on Saturday and I’m so excited…and a little confused, to announce that I won an award for Best Culture and Literature Blog!  I’m not saying that I’m confused to act like I’m being humble, I’m confused because Bloggity doesn’t really seem like a Culture and Literature blog to me, but hey, I guess it’s what the people want, so I will gladly accept it and say thank you very, very much!

The entire awards are volunteer run and all the voting is done by anyone that has a computer, that puts the decision process completely out of my hands, so I appreciate every single person that took even a second to send a vote my way.  It’s really incredible.

If you’re looking for new blogs to discover, now is the time.  There are a ton of amazing blogs that were nominated and eventually won some pretty cool awards and now they are just waiting for you to read them.

Take a look at all the winners and nominees here. 

So, how did I celebrate?  Well, I enjoyed my favourite snack (room temperature milk and popcorn) and watched The Lord of The Rings: The Return of The King, of course!  I mean what were you really expecting? After all, I am full of culture now.

Thanks again everyone!

Well holy kamoly would you look at that, I’ve made it to the final round of the always competitive Canadian Blog Awards!

The results of the final round were just announced and I’m so stoked that Mike’s Bloggity Blog has made it to the final round of the Best Culture and Literature Blog category.  (Seems like a weird category to be in, but I’m totally not arguing with it!)  Seriously, I’m so stoked.

If you wanted to take a moment to vote, that’d be appreciated.  There’s no registration, just one click.  They don’t even do daily voting, so it really is a two second commitment, which, when you think about it, is the best kind of commitment. Voting is open until January 20th, so you still have some time, but why wait?

I know it sounds cheesy, but I actually love these awards because so many people are nominated.  It’s really the best way to find out about so many different kinds of Canadian blogs.  The awards have been volunteer run for a few years now and the amount of time they devote to it, is pretty crazy, but as I mentioned, the best thing I get out of it, is the amount of cool blogs that I end up adding to my Google Reader.

Congrats to all the nominees!

….not me.

But that’s totally okay.  Earlier this week the winners of the Canadian Blog Awards were announced and it was so awesome to see so many terrific blogs get some recognition. You know I’ve been blogging for a long time when I already feel old at these awards.

While Mike’s Bloggity Blog didn’t technically win any awards, we did pick up some pretty sweet consolation prizes.  In the Overall Blog award, we got ranked number three!  Number three in all of Canada?  Yeah, I’ll take that.

The blog was also nominated for Best Pop Culture Blog and we came in second.  Seriously, not complaining at all. I know it sounds cheesy but it is pretty cool that people took time out of playing Farmville to put in some votes for the blog.  It is definitely appreciated!

Take a look at all the winners! There really are some wonderful Canadian Blogs out there.  Thanks to the organizers for putting together another fantastic competition!

As many of you know, I’m in the depths of fighting for my dignity by winning The Canadian Blog Awards. I’m not convinced that winning will save my dignity, but it certainly can’t hurt it. And that’s gotta be worth something….right?
