Halfway There! Thanks!

First and foremost, I really want to thank you all for making me a finalist in the 2007 Black Weblog Awards. I definitely appreciate the love and support that everyone has shown so far by voting me a finalist.

Now, I have to ask you to go back and actually vote for me. The process is easier this time around, because you don’t have to copy and paste URLs. Hell, you really don’t have to vote for anyone else if you don;t want to, as long as you vote for me! Those other bloggers are cool, but um…F*ck ‘em!

Click here to vote for me.  They are announcing the winners on September 5th, the same day as my appearance on NPR. If I win, you know I’m going to do something extra-memorable on live radio, just to show love to you, the ListenToLeon.net faithful!

I want to win this thing twice. Let me stop bullsh*tting. I NEED to win this thing twice! I’m making strides toward my goal of corporate desk job emancipation, so right now, I’m treating these blog-related achievements as my Underground Railroad. Massa is not too far behind me with the bloodhounds…I need your help to get off this plantation so I won’t be forced to go back to picking digital cotton! I don’t even want to be a house n*gga! Ise goin’ fo mah FREEDOM TONIGHT! GOIN’ TO THE PROMISED LAND! COME ON JASPER! WE’SE GON’ MAKE IT TO THA PROMISED LAND!

Sorry for the slave vernacular, but you know what I’m saying. Help me, so I can help you. If I can sustain myself financially from writing, trust me, this site WILL be the funniest thing the internet has ever seen! Right now, it’s just the funniest BLOG, which is the reason why you should vote for me. Someday, it will be the funniest site in the history of digital communication.

In other unrelated news, I’m looking for a place to shoot the video for Justin N*ggalake’s new single, and the live performance of the song I sang lead for when I was a member of Menudo. If anybody wants to be a set designer/co-director, let me know. You will make no kinds of monies for your effort, but I will give you credit for your work, and I may buy you some beer, depending on what type you drink.

One more gin…VOTE LEON!

    You had me at hel…

    …Okay – that was corny as hell, but of course I’ll vote for you. Someone on the hata board asked me to vote for his page and I gave him a link to your page. (I thought it was funny at the time)

    I have background (in my head) music playing: “…jump down, turn around pick a bale of cotton, jump down, turn around, pick a bale of hay. Oh Lordy, pick a bale of cotton. Oh, Lordy, pick a bale of hay.” I sang that during Negro History week festivities at St. Pascal Baylon Elementary School in St. Albans NY. The school no longer exists. Is this literally TMI?

    First, lemme say I already voted.

    But Second, you gotta at LEAST throw in a side-plug for the Black Blogger Achievement Award for “Calvin Smith.”

    Isn’t his blog where you got your start? See, that’s what’s wrong with wippersnappers… forget your roots!! lol. I remember you guest “hosting” back in the day for an entry or 2.

    But yeah, everybody: Vote Leon & while you’re there, vote Calvin Smith for Black Blogger Achievement!

    Thanks for letting me know. GOOD LUCK CALVIN!!!
