The Weblog awards have ended. While there are of course some that realized what this was supposed to be about there were others that were pretty darn nasty and petty. I'd like to tell you that those that deserved to win did, but that wasn't the case in all categories. I'd like to be able to tell you that the people that had the supporters that were petty or basically admitted to thwarting the system didn't win. A few didn't which I'll admit I was happy about. Considering I basically pulled myself out of it and asked my readers to please vote for Ellen, I ended up in 6th place with 202 votes (seven would have been cool since it is my favorite number). Over a 100 of you kept voting for me showing that either they were not regular readers who knew I wanted Ellen to win or? You didnt listen - lol.
As I've wandered the different sites during this, I made note of some of the more "special" comments. I'm not going to be like a certain person I criticized and list names or blog addresses, yet I really think some of these comments need to be pointed out because it is the ones like this that do give the blogosphere a bad rap. So A big Lisa wish for a lump of coal in the stockings of the people that wrote comments like this:
Seriously, I think these awards are complete crap, as how can one explain a world were *****, who has consistently provided interesting content would lose to a blog that whose content consists of pictures of the author's pregnant stomach...
You really believe you recieved 600 votes in two days? How many people actually read your blog? Care to share some numbers?
Anyone who wants to do some counter voting might consider voting for anyone but (continues on with tacky insults.....)
I am surprised that this polar bear in a snowstorm blog, can hold a candle to the verbose truthtellosetude of *****, for shame voters of america.
You may want to look at the best **** talleys. I can't believe ***** has gotten that many votes. I smell a rat and he's wearing a Kerry button.
***** is also the beneficiary of the dregs of society....
Now, they have all their little hormonal friends, whose only link to the outside world is the computer, voting every freakin day......
That's not bad you can easily pass her and knock her scrawny little ass back down a couple pegs before it is all said and done
hint guys & gals,if you are at work and have a network, go to your co-workers computers and vote from them too!
Yeppers, all in fun....My hearty congratulations to those who won who deserved it, best wishes to those who should have won yet didn't and to those of you who didn't cheat, didn't leave nasty comments and enjoyed visiting other new blogs you might not have heard about? Bravo....

I should have gone around my work nominating myself and then voting for myself.
You were better off not having anything to do with it.

I tried, I really, really tried to care. I even tried to vote, and did a coupla times, but seriously: how much time is there in a day? I suppose that folks who have nothing else in their lives might care about this stuff and take it seriously, but it's just a contest to see how many dittoheads a blog has.
I guess I could probably run down a few 'best of" blogs by various categories by fisking a few posts and ridiculing their readership (as shown in comments to the blogs), but that's a waste of time, too.
Paraphrasing something my mother-in-law used to say (as stolen from her mother) when folks got upset at little kids just being, well, little kids:
"They're enough old. Let them have their glad."
I'll admit I was flattered at first until I discovered some things I didn't like.
I'll never do it again personally but I did have fun trying to help Ellen win.
