Wiwille is again a big winner

Yesterday I was granted an honor by the hot mom Jlee who nominated me for the Lemonade award. I was placed into a class that she describes as "guys (that) always make me laugh, even through tough times there is a joke at the ready".

Here goes:

The Lemonade Award is for sites, which show great attitude and/or gratitude!

Rules for the award:
1. Put the logo on your blog or post.
2. Nominate at least 10 blogs, which show great Attitude and/or Gratitude!
3. Be sure to link to your nominees within your post.
4. Let them know that they have received this award by commenting on their blog.
5. Nominate your favorites and link to this post.

10 blogs! That's a lot. Here goes:

1. Starting Over at 24: An enjoyable read that's very personal as well as funny. It's a fascinating look into the life of one who's attempting to navigate the waters of the dating world. It's something I can relate to all too well.
2. Blog as You Are: Fellow roommate, coworker, friend, and Rockband bassist Pablo never fails to entertain with his gift of various languages and detailing his mid life crisis in verse.
3. whatigotsofar version 2.0: From north of the border comes WIGSF. A cynical look at the absurdity of human behaviors. Always funny.
4. Phoenix McPeek Photography: Some would claim I'm only adding this one cause she's hot, which is not a bad call, but as a former photographer I'm amazed at her skill. Envious would actually be a better term.
5. Life is Grand, Love is Real and Beauty is Everywhere!: Scott never fails to entertain with his gift of the English language and his addiction to modern music. Sometimes witty, but always insightful it's worth your time.
6. Memoirs of an oversized Canadian: Big Ben is fearless in his quest to broadcast his boob obsessed mind to the masses with opinions on everything. It's refreshing to see someone not hold back like that.
7. The Country Mouse Tales: The ever chipper Claire is an amazing scribe. Her gift is one that never ceases to amaze me.
8. Somethings Gotta Give: Miss Ash never disappoints with her bar stories, tales of volleyball, and observations about anything.
9. The Muzzy's Blog: My friend Alec has a command of information in his brain that is often times interesting regardless of how useful it may be. Still he's smarter than most and that makes for a good read.
10: The Inexcusable: Although it's updated far too infrequently the man that is known as Mattbear is a gifted writer with a great sense of sarcasm.

I'll end this post with a question to all readers, well at least the American ones. Yesterday was President's day and I was curious to know who's your favorite? I'm certain someone will say 'Obama man'.

Wiwille is a big winner

WIGSF has awarded me the prestigious Premio Dardos. I wasn't sure what it entailed, but after the power of Goog....err...Live Search I found the following description:

"With the Premio Dardos is to recognize the values that each blogger uses to transmit cultural values, ethical, literary, personal, etc.. that, in short, demonstrate their creativity through the thought that is alive and remains intact from their letters, between his words. These stamps were created with the intention of promoting fraternization between bloggers, a way of showing affection and gratitude for a job that adds value to the Web."

The good WIGSF has granted me the award based on my "skillful film reviews and alcohol fueled debauchery." I'd like to thank the good Canadian for his kind words and the honor of being recognized by such a skillful blogger. This is truly a great day for the staff at Erik's Ramblings and tonight we'll be toasting a beer, or thirty seven, to our highly literate and always entertaining ally to the north. For this we are truly humbled.

As per requested I must pass this award on to bloggers that we feel are deserving. After much debate filled with booze and rounds of staff members dueling with wrapping paper rolls we've all come to a consensus on who this award should go to. And the winner is...

.....Big Ben of Memoirs of an Oversized Canadian

Always an entertaining read this large Canuck runs the gamut of topics and offends any and all with reckless abandon. While we here at Erik's Ramblings nurse our hangovers and pool bail money we take time to salute the greatness that only our baseball loving writer can bring. Cheers to you and your muse.

Wiwille is a big winner.

WIGSF has honored me with the prestigious Artey Y Pico award. It is my understanding that this is given because of one's ability to inspire other bloggers and spawn the creative process through this sphere of online amateur entertainment.

I'd like to thank the academy and everyone who enjoys the ramblings of a self important simpleton with a mild obsession over Scarlett. I promise to continue to bring stories of impairment due to alcohol abuse, criteria of news events, and of course good cleavage.

It's also come to my attention that upon receiving this award I must follow these four rules:

1. You have to pick 5 blogs that you consider deserve this award through creativity, design, interesting material, and also contributes to the blogger community, no matter of language.
2. Each award should have the name of the author with a link to their blog.
3. Award winners have to post the award with the name and link to the blog of the person who gave them the award.
4. Please include a link to the Arte Y Pico blog so that everyone will know where the award came from.

So after much thought, okay a few minutes worth, here are the five blogs that I pass on this prestigious award:

1. WIGSF 2.0: A good blog indeed that takes no issue in being politically incorrect. The always responsive and anonymous author entertains his audience daily with musings on music, food, and various observations about women as well as his disdain for the dating process. Filled with sarcasm and anger I enjoy my daily dose of WIGSF.
2. The Country Mouse Tales: The good Claire has a true gift for the written word which always makes for a pleasant read regardless of the subject matter she chooses to broadcast. It's always entertaining to hear about a slice of life from across the pond.
3. The Blank Top Chronicles: A blog that is update way too infrequently, but each post is always a laugh filled one. The Blank Top Chronicles tells the story of Brian, a taxi dispatcher who has the privilege to abuse stupid customers on a regular basis without fear of being fired. If only we all had such power.
4. Somethings Gotta Give: Sort of like a weird game show you never know what you're gonna get with Miss Ash. It runs the gamut of shopping to observations about bad television shows to anything going on in her personal life. Unafraid to spout off on any and all subject matters Miss Ash never disappoints her fans.
5. Memoirs of an oversized Canadian: The man likes boobs. Nuff said.

Congrats to all who have won this award. I'm sure their parents are very proud. Wait a minute? They didn't even have to sleep with me to get this. I really should be more corrupt.
