For Your Consideration
Voting for the 2007 Weblog awards has started and I am deeply honored to be nominated for Best Individual Blogger. I've been reading the other blogs in my category and words can not describe how fantastic it feels to be grouped with such talent. That's not a heaping pile of shit, either. There are seriously fierce competition. I went in hoping to be nominated in the Best LGBT Blog category because a majority of my writing is based on my experiences as a gay man in Chicago, so you can imagine my surprise when I saw my blog in the same category as Glenn Reynolds.
I'm pretty sure that I'm the only openly gay blogger in this category who discusses certain gay issues and that makes this even more special for me, a virtually unknown little gay man with a few quirky things to write about and access to the internet (on days when my bills are paid).
My goal has always been to do something positive for the gay community in the most obscure and surreptitious way, and I think I've taken a step toward that goal today... thanks to the support of all the readers and the good people behind the Weblog Awards.
In television, networks consider the month of November to be a sweeps month. That's when they put out their best programming in order to grab viewers' attention. I decided to do something similar by posting some of my favorite blog posts from this year. Enjoy!

Hey Richie, just wanted to drop in and say hello. I'm one of the other folks scratching my head as to how I wound up in Instapundit's company in the final round. Not complaining though. Congrats and best of luck to you. (One of my close friends e-mailed me today to say his vote is a toss-up, given his respect for your open love of bacon...)
