We won, we won, we won!

Success!

After a loooooonnnnngggg wait, The Canadian Blog awards started announcing most of their awards this weekend and will continue to do so all week long!

I was so happy to see that Mike’s Bloggity Blog got #1 place and won Best Entertainment/Cultural Blog for the 2nd year in a row!

The blog is still nominated in two other categories (best blog, best blog post) and they’ll be announcing those on Wednesday!

I’m so pumped and so thankful for all my friends and readers that are always as supportive as a bra on Brooke Hogan.

Hmm I wonder what I’ll buy to celebrate….

Show me the numbers!

>I have been getting a ton of emails about the Canadian Blog Awards and as far as I know they still haven’t released the winners of this year’s awards. They did announce the winner of the Sci/Tech award but there has been a curiously long delay in between announcing the rest of them.

I’m excited to see that they’ll be releasing the stats along with the resaults. I freaking love numbers and percentages and look forward to weeks of making graphs and pie charts on Excel.

Nerd Alert!

Last Chance to Vote!

So I have announcement.

I’ve decided that if I don’t win some Canadian Blog Awards, I will form a coalition blog to take down the other ones. I’m sorry, that’s just what has to happen. Unless you buy me a perogie. Then I’m good.

Either way, the final round of the Canadian Blog Awards wraps up this weekend so this is your last chance to vote.

Mike’s Bloggity Blog is nominated in three separate categories:

Best Blog
Best Blog Post
Best Entertainment/Cultural Blog

Vote here to avoid a test of democracy.

Thanks again for everyone’s support! The results should be announced throughout the week next week!!!

The Return of Funky Friday

>Sweet lord, I didn’t realize how much I missed Jimmy Ray until I stumbled upon this little jem of a song.

What a perfect tune to pump up your Friday, the last of November.

Hope you guys all have an amazing weekend and don’t forget that if you are going to some xmas parties, please don’t drink and drive. It’s not what Jimmy Ray would want.

Oh and don’t forget to vote for the Canadian Blog Awards!

It's what Barack would want

The 2008 Canadian Blog Awards!!!

>
Man, is it that time of year again?!?

The Canadian Blog Awards are back already and Mike’s Bloggity Blog is lucky enough to be nominated in THREE categories:
-Best Blog
-Best Blog Post
-Best Cultural/Entertainment Blog

You might remember that this blog actually won Best Blog Post and Best Entertainment Blog last year and we came in a very respectable third place for Best Blog in all of Canada!!!

Voting for round one is open RIGHT now, so if you want to vote, you can go to the Canadian Blog Awards website and do your thang! The best part about this contest is that you don’t have to register to vote and you can only vote once from your computer. Which means that this contest is pretty fair and low stress for the nominees!

The cool thing about it is that if you have access to more than one computer, you can go to those computers and vote. Just an idea…..

Round 1 goes from today until November 29th (Saturday) and then the Top 5 vote getters in each round move on to the finals.  
If you guys would take a few minutes (maybe less) to get your votes, I would really appreciate it, oh and I’ve started a Facebook Group if you are hardcore.
So please go vote:
Best Blog
Best Blog Post 
Best Cultural/Entertainment Blog
Your support is always amazes me and I can’t thank you all enough for everything you’ve all done so far!!!

And the awards keep coming!

>
Wow!

So a couple of hours ago The Canadian Blog Awards announced Best Humour Blog and I’m so excited to announce that I came in a very respectable 2nd!

For a guy that ran for student council three times and lost each one of them, I kinda feel like my karma points were being saved up for this years Blog Awards!

You can see the other results and check out some very cool blogs by going to the CBA site.

Thanks again everyone!!!!!!!!!!!

The final two categories that Mike’s Bloggity Blog Blob are nominated in (Best Blog Post and Best Blog) will be announced on Wednesday and Thursday respectively.

We Won…..well sorta.

>So they started rolling out the winners of the Canadian Blog Awards today.  Out of the ones that they announced today I was nominated in the Best Celebrity/Media blog.

Well…….I’m so happy to announce that I placed third!!!!
And I even get this cool image that I can put on my blog…..

While most people wouldn’t be happy with 3rd, I couldn’t be happier. After all I came in behind Rick Mercer and Breakfast Television.  They have their own TV SHOWS for goodness sakes!  This is crazy!  I also beat a Globe and Mail sports writer and one of Canada’s biggest Celebrity Blogs (Juice!).  Check out all the results here.
After all I’m now in the same ranks as Nikki McKibbon, Kimberly Locke and Jasmine Trias.  
Now I wait for a major magazine to call right?
More results will be announced over the next couple of days. 
Thanks every one!!!
