John abuzz gave me this award. This award is a dedication for those who love blogging and love to encourage friendships through blogging. I've made many friendships through my blog, most of the friends I have made I have not met face to face yet but some I have and I'm very lucky to have all of you as friends. I love to blog because I get to share what's on my mind, make folks laugh, do a bit of teaching, and be an antidote to the corporate media machine. I love it that everyone in the world can read me if they like and there is no one telling me what I have to write or that I shouldn't write or post something. Blogging is citizen based media, not corporate crap that encourages us all to be the same slaves to the companies who want to control our every thought and movement. Thanks much for this award John, and thanks for all the nice things you say about my blog on your blog.
John struck again when he gave me this award that fellow atheist Lemmy Caution had also recently given me:
Here's the skinny on this award:
1.You must brag about the award. Yay! It's the greatest award ever! It's better than puppies and cotton candy and sunshine!
2.You must include the name of the blogger who bestowed the award on you and link back to the blogger. Done it already.
3.You must choose a minimum of seven (7) blogs that you find brilliant in content or design. Or you may improvise by including bloggers who have no idea who you are because you don’t have seven friends. Will do in a moment.
4.Show their names and links and leave a comment informing them that they were prized with Honest Weblog. Or think of it this way--show the seven random victims' names and links and leave a harassing comment informing them that they were prized with Honest Weblog Award. Well, there's no prize, but they can keep the nifty icon. Ummmm, you'll see why I'm not going to do this one in a second.
5.List at least ten (10) honest things about yourself. Then pass it on with the instructions!
1. I will not ever knowingly eat a cooked carrot. Never ever ever.
2. I bitch about the small conservative "Christian" college I went to, but I actually loved all my years there and I would not trade that experience for anything.
3. I forgive but I try to never forget.
4. I loved to play pinball and arcade style video games.
5. In bookstores, when no employees are looking, I will shelve copies of the Bible in the religious fiction section.
6. I knew I was going to be good at improv comedy the first time I ever saw it being done onstage.
7. I think some of the people who have been through the Second City Improv process are some of the most pompous assholes in the world.
8. I was a virgin until my freshman year in college.
9. I turn off televisions in stores like Bed Bath and Beyond and Books a Million.
10. I'd rather get beaten in the kidney's with a sack of oranges than go to Arkansas ever again.
Okay, now I want to pass both awards along to everyone on my blog roll.

Oooh, I love your honesty! Can't believe that didn't get you laid in high school :-) Kxo
Yay! Congrats on the awards Dr. Monkey! And ... everyone on your blog roll??? Does... does that mean?
5 and 9 are my faves!
Thanks but no thanks on passing this along, but I will admit one thing here on your Blog.
I have a recurring fantasy about going to Cracker Barrel and using a Marks-a-Lot to graffitti the women's room doors with anti-GOP rhetoric.
The only thing that stops me is knowing that some poor, underpaid woman will have to scrub it off.
I'm with Sherry on #5 and 9.
Hey thanks for reading my blog post about the award all the way to the end to see it passed on to you! I didn't have to even let you know.
And your blog, it's great, the best, what can I say. Oh, your welcome!
Wow you were brutally honest with those 10 things!
I hate cooked carrots too! YUK!
Does this mean we're soul mates?
Hey, one of my favorite things that ever happened in my life was in Arkansas. I saw a young guy named Bill Clinton, who was, at 32, the governor of Arkansas, speak at a high school graduation. I was visiting my grandparents in Mountain Home, Arkansas in the summer of 1983. Their neighbors' kid was graduating, and the governor, who I'd heard was an up and coming guy in the Democratic Party, was speaking. He was riveting.
And I lost it my sophmore year (which was delayed because I dropped out for a year) at the age of 20-- acutally just a couple months short of 21. If I'd known the woman I was involved with was as screwed up as she was, I would have passed and waited until #2, who was the same summer I saw Gov. Clinton speak. She and I are still close friends.
Okay, I'm puttering around on other people's bloggers looking for people to add...and I came across you.
I'd rather get beaten in the kidney's with a sack of oranges than go to Arkansas ever again.
I think I'm in love. :) I had to say out of all I've read, this one made me add you. :)
