Friday's Food for Thought - Recognition

Recognition - the state of being recognized

When I first started blogging it was solely out of boredom. I really really didn't except it to last more then a month or so. However, within a few weeks I got some blogger achievements and I thought that was really cool.

I always liked writing, but I know that I wasn't really good at it. I have to proof read my blog post ATLEAST 5 or 10 times to catch all of the error and grammar mistakes. If you follow my blog you know that I never catch them all lol.

Anyway, I been updating this blog multiple times a week for the past 5 months and I must say that I have meet some pretty cool people. By that I mean that I have meet some pretty coolbloggers. Fish wrote a post this week giving a shout out to some new bloggers that he actually knows in the game. His first paragraph in that post he said:

There are a lot of bloggers I feel like I know, Krizzlybear, the guys at WTFspaghetti, Darraxus, Gnomeageddon, Larissa, etc.

I pretty much feel that same way. Sometimes I will confuse myself and think that I am on the same server as those particular bloggers lol. If I have a question about there post, for a split second I think..."I will just ask them when I log on"

Then I have slap myself in the face and realize I am retarded. Did I mention that I do 95% of my blog writing and viewing between the hours of 2:00am and 7:00am? Sometime my mind plays
tricks lol

I have watched my blog grow from just a few hits a day to over 800 hits yesterday. Now that 800 hits blew my record of 112 hits out of the water and it was because I got linked in an article bywowinsider. Either way, I usually get around 70-100 hits a day when I actually update. I know to the bigger bloggers that isn't much, but for me....that is outrageous.

I would like to accept this award...

On of those bloggers that I was talking about earlier, (were I think we play on the same server lol) Cait from One Among Many, decided to give me an award. I must say, it feel good to be recognized by your peers. Especially one that is as well establish and admired likeCait. I remember what first drew me to her site was her awesome ULTIMATE BLOG, which I have had linked on my page ever since.

I also got tagged for the same "meme" by another awesome blogger, Kyrilean from Casual Hardcore. Our blog are pretty similar in that we don't really talk about just one subject...mostly just random WoW thoughts that cross our minds. I mean...whats better then random stuff about the game that we all are hopelessly additiced love? I will tell you

Nothing!

Thanks for the recognition guys....mucho appreciated

Rules for meme

1. Brag about said award and link back to individual passing said award to you. - check
2. Tag other bloggers and give them all said award.
3. Write 10 honest things about yourself since this is the "Honest Weblog Award"...

I am only going to give "my award" to three bloggers. Most of my blog roll have already done this meme, so that makes it a little more easier.

2. Frost is the New Black One of the first blogs I ever read. I like this dude writing style and he usually has some good information about one of my favorite spec / class, the frostmage.
