I realize that I was not quite specific enough when requesting nominations in this year’s Black Weblog Awards. Below, I have laid out which categories I would love to get nominated in, along with entries that illustrate why www.listentoleon.net fits that particular category. So without further delay, here are the categories for which I’d like to be nominated:
Best Humor Blog
This one is a no-brainer, because no one talks more sh*t than me. No one on Earth. Not Jesse Jackson. Not Stephen A. Smith. Not even 50 Cent. As a matter of fact, those three could get together and make a “We Are The World” record talking sh*t about me, and they’d still come up short! I’m even talking sh*t in my intro for crying out loud!
Best Personal Blog
This year, I’ve disclosed more personal information about myself on here, than ever before. For the first time, my personal disclosures didn’t turn into a d*ck joke, or something silly of that nature. The most intense entry I’ve ever written was just a few short months ago, dealing with my father’s suicide. It was necessary for me to tell my story here to help people whom might have been experiencing suicidal thoughts, and also to help get things off of my chest during the grieving process.
Best Podcast
Between my Valentine’s Day wish to all the lovely ladies, and the original “Sweet Love Thursdays” podcast, you should find something that moves you to satisfy me *cough* …I mean, something that convinces you to nominate me for this category.
Best Video Blog
I taught myself how to edit video this year, so it would be an honor to get nominated here. Now, I know that I have a ways to go before I put out a professional-quality video, but if you think about it, I’ve come a decent way since my first attempt at creating a sketch. Check out a few of this year’s videos below:
- If You Smell What Barak Is Cooking
- Jumping Up and Down With Dres and De La Soul
- Between The Sheets Karaoke Performance
- The Prototype Karaoke Performance
- 1800 Tequila Taste Test
- Welcome from Leon
Best Blog Post or Blog Post Series
You can choose any number of entries from this past year, but these ones are the best in my opinion:
- Billy Dee Williams Facts
- I Love You, Dad
- Delusions of Grandeur
- The Elements of Good Pu**y
- It Is What It Is
- ListenToLeon A Milli Freestyle
- Say It With Teddy Bears
- Open Letter To Lauren London
- Happy Valentines Day a.k.a. Hump Up On Your Body
- Fight Night at The Diner
- Superman Dat Hoe
- Please Don’t Sue Me, Prince
- The Skullastic Aptitude Test
- Retiring The Napkin Love Note
- Urinal Distance Is A Must
- The Three Greatest Pleasures In Life
- Mutumbo Elbow of Death
- 30 Is Not The New 20
As you can see, it’s been one hell of a ride since I made it a goal to post entries as close to daily as possible. It’s allowed me to explore the depths of my creativity, as well as push the envelope over here. Thanks for supporting me thus far in my creative endeavors, and I appreciate any and all nominations that I receive.
P.S., Remember that you can only do the nomination form once, and from a valid e-mail address.
Yes, we can.
Or should I have said, “??, ?? ?????”?
“Yes, we can.”
AnonNupe, that was too funny!
My favorite video of you thus far is the slapbox challenge with you and your dog, Andre 3000. That thing had me crying every time I viewed it! But, I believe that was from last year, so I guess it doesn’t count.
But, yes, we can…nominate you.
L
LOL @ anonymousnupe
@ Anonymousnupe, f*ck a “Yes we can”…The question is “DID YOU?” LOL
@ Lola, some of the ones coming up will easily knock that video out of the water. Stay tuned ;)
@ KaNisa, Anonymousnupe is the only commenter whom I KNOW is going to constently torment me, but it’ll also be funny so I look forward to it! LOL
It’s all in love, man. You’re a moderately entertaining brother, so I play along.
And tell me: If I say I voted for you is there a way for you to generate some kind of report that shows who actually did vote for you? If not, then YES! I DID!
LOL
Even if I COULD generate some kind of report like that, I wouldn’t. I don’t want to see folks in the street and hear them say they voted for me, and just start shaking my head like “You lying motherf*cker!”
Sometimes ignorance is bliss LOL
that billy D shit still circulate my office.
