There Ain’t No Flies On Me

"Son, would it kill you to take a shower? A tie wouldn't hurt, either. Normal people wear ties with suits." Sean Connery as Transman's Dad. "Dad, when you've got a fish this big, no one's looking at your tie," Johnny Depp as Transman. Image: Fanpop.com

It has been a heady few days for Transman. His pal, Eric (Clown On Fire), nominated him for the Liebster Award. Michelle, who writes Classic Confusion, nominated him for the Versatile Blogger Award, too. Transman’s flame is burning a little too bright. His ego is out of control. Soon, he won’t get out of bed if he doesn’t get an award for it.

You can check out Clown on Fire here: http://clownonfire.wordpress.com/ Eric writes that when Twilight was published, he gave up on writing the greatest novel of all time and now hides behind laughter and Herbie Hancock. Transman gets a little jealous at the creativity and breadth of topics on this blog.

You can check out Classic Confusion here: http://classicconfusion.com/ Michelle claims to be a 20-something figuring out life. Transman suspects she has more of a handle on the whole thing than she lets on. (Transman played by the rules earlier: http://theadventuresoftransman.com/2012/02/07/versatile-blogger-me/)

Transman is doing a two-for-one here. With the Liebster Award, he must pass the honor along to 5 other bloggers who have less than 200 followers. In theory, he should let them know ahead of time, but who doesn’t like surprises? Just in case those 5 bloggers do not want to play along, Clown On Fire has the answer: http://clownonfire.wordpress.com/2012/03/05/blog-award/ With The Alan Smithee Blog Award, one can put a stop to the awards madness.

Now, Transman’s 5 recommended reads:

http://thetragicwhale.com/ Transman is not crafty at all, but Kerry is. She may well have more than 200 followers, but he doesn’t know since she’s also not egotistical enough to keep the stats posted on her page. C’mon, the name of the blog is The Tragic Whale. How does that not scream for your love and attention? Short stories, photos, crafts, and all kinds of whimsy Transman ain’t capable of.

http://squatchmakesthree.wordpress.com/ Ande’s blog about pending fatherhood, teaching, graphic design, and life. Personally, Transman digs a man who calls his unborn child (boy or girl) “Squatch” as in short for Sasquatch.

http://insanityaquarium.wordpress.com/ Anna professes to have “a great fear of tins and pigeons.” She writes darkly funny stories about things that happen to her and about things she makes up.

http://healthytakeover.wordpress.com/ Adrienne hates dubstep and valentines. She has great advice on many topics from tattoos to pillow talk.

http://transfabulous.wordpress.com/ Connor, whose super power is transpower, writes straight-from-the-hip stuff about beings trans and helping others understand some of the issues transfolk face.
