Something I really hate is how I seem to be constantly begging for something from you, my readers. Far more often than I like, I seem to be pandering for you to come watch this, go click on that. Inundating you with ads at the expense of providing you with content. Blah blah blah blah.
But look how I'm not going to stop doing it.
I just wanted you to know that it doesn't make me happy. If it helps, please know that it's not the only thing I do that makes me hate myself.
Better?
Good.
Here we go with two items that require request your attention...
1) 6 minutes you can't have back
I mean the six minutes you'll (hopefully) be spending when you watch me doing stand-up comedy at Side Splitters on the 16th, not this video advertising that I want you to come watch me do stand-up at Side Splitters on the 16th. Actually, you're not getting any minutes back, so I guess it's both.
Somehow, I'm actually on the ballot in several different categories:
- Best local sportswriter
- Best local blogger
- Best local personality to follow on Twitter
- Best local podcast
- Best book by a local author
- Best local stand-up comic
Wow. First, at the risk of sounding corny and cliche'd, I'm sincerely flattered to be nominated in all of these categories. I didn't nominate myself (I didn't even go to the site, which is why I didn't know there were nominations followed by voting) so that means somebody out there (you!) likes me. That means a lot and I genuinely appreciate it.
Secondly, you are out of your minds on some of these. That doesn't make you a bad person but there's no way do I deserve to be mentioned among the other people nominated in most of these categories. No way! That said, if I win, I will gladly accept whatever trophy(ies) come my way. Of course I will. But that doesn't mean I deserve them.
Dodgers pitcher Brandon McCarthy is also 0-for-6 at the plate this season. |
Lastly, you may notice that Chili's and Cracker Barrel appear among the nominees for Best All-Around Restaurant. Please don't hold that against me or any other nominees. I think someone was joking. I hope.
In conclusion:
- Thank you!
- Vote
- Vote again
- Vote one more time
- And again
- But seriously, thank you!
