BLOG OF THE YEAR AWARD (:

First I must thank http://sagedoyle.wordpress.com/2013/01/22/blog-of-the-year-award/ for this awesome award! Sage’s blog has many must reads, But my favorite is Journal entries written by a character named Wall Grimm. Grimm is aloof, he loves to party, he is young with high levels of testosterone but Grimm has a very soft side to him that emerges at just the appropriate times http://sagedoyle.wordpress.com/2013/01/22/the-journal-of-wall-grimm-44-the-abduction-of-the-journal-part-2/ The Journal is very entertaining with relatable situations, great weekly short reads. Sage also has a wide variety of poetry that will stimulate and arouse your senses.

I really love this guy http://1meremortal.me/2013/01/20/hollow-room/

1. He is an awesome writer

2. He is sexy as hell, with lips that will make you want to… Well, let’s just say he has those LL Cool J kind’a lips,,,MMMMWWWWAAAAA

3. His writing is gripping! He has some of the most thought provoking poetry I have ever read, well other than mine (: His poetry is emotive, simplistic with tidal waves of intellect. This is a blog you definitely want to follow.

Whenever I need to sooth my soul I go to this blog http://jdubqca.com/2013/01/12/whats-your-name/ first for his quant spoken word  and second for his voice. His voice is very soothing. It kind of reminds me of a doctor I used to visit some years ago; WELL,  we all need someone to talk to sometimes. Thank God for Word press I have saved a ton of money now I just write the pain away. Ok, so anyway, Mr. Waters has a favorable assortment of poetry and has been writing since he was a teenager. I love his blog and his about page because we both hold a common bond and that is we lovvvvvv to write.

Last but not least…http://shackledandcrowned.wordpress.com/2013/01/22/my-way/

This womans words and paintings are fabulous. Her writing screams “I am Woman hear me Roar” and “I am Woman, Love me” I feel her strength and her pain in her post. She is holding her life together with her daughter, her poetry, her paintings and her seasoned wisdom. Do I know her personally? No. I just can feel her strength and struggle through her work that speaks volumes. She has touched my spirit through her paintings and poetry. And isn’t that what art is supposed to do? She is very effective at conveying a story through her paintings and her words leap from the screen with situations and lessons we all have had to endure at one point or another. I love her blog because it gives me somewhere to go when no one else understands. I know without doubt this woman does, she does. Visit her blog she is awesome, she has a few personalities but that’s what makes her and her blog really cool (;
