In one week, two people got the impression I'm a schmoozer. True, I involve myself in the blogging community but that's only because it's either that or doing the laundry. And I hate doing the laundry. I hate folding more than anything. That guy in the schmooze picture, my arm looks a lot like that, only my tattoo doesn't say schmooze but revenge.
Anyway, before we all move on to the next post, which I promise will include a picture of a penis, I'd like to thank Shelli and for their much appreciated support. I do believe in commenting and in blogging in general (although I've always had a problem with the word blog), and I'm always grateful when someone comes here and leaves a comment, so to have two people show their support with this schmooze award feels good.
And thanks, Larry from Let's Talk About It, for offering another tag that I can't do because I did a similar one recently.
First, some cut-and-paste:
1. If, and only if, you get the Thinking Blogger Award or The Power of Schmooze Award, write a post with links that make you think, or have schmoozed you into submission.
2. Link to this post and Mike so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme.
3. Optional: Proudly display the “Thinking Blogger Award” or the “Power of Schmooze Award” with a link to the post that you wrote (here is alternative silver version if gold doesn’t fit your blog.
Now, let me look for my next victims:
- Dan at Cafe Leone - I know I've tagged you before but if anyone deserves a schmooze award it's you, for continually supporting other blogs on your site.
- Dave at Wandering the Ether - I know you're taking the time off, but since you take time off yet still find time to comment on others' blogs you're helping the blogging community and deserve to have this little blue rectangle on your site.
- Kali at Out of Focus
- ajooja at ajooja
- and Leisel at Dead Man's Honda.
Seriously. I know some people have their blog schedule organized and then someone comes and gives them a tag and they wish they could simply ignore it--so feel free to ignore it. Luckily for me, though, the only thing I had planned for my next post is a picture of a penis, and that can wait.
Until next time--don't forget, a picture of a penis!

Wait so did I get tagged to talk about schmoozing or thinking?!
Thank you much friend! I will respond soon....I have a new post written and then I'm going out of town but I won't forget about being tagged. Too bad there aren't any tag backs? Remember that? Tag no tag backs!? I do. Fun times.

Hello PiTs: I will happily work through the instructions and pass on the Schmooze-fest.
Thank you for your kind words.
Dan

Wow, penis pictures. I hope this isn't just for the benefit of your gay following. I know Durente Vita will be happy about that, but I'll have to look over my shoulder at work before opening....

Thanks for the mention and Congratulations, I know that you deserve the Schmooze Award.

You are great about commenting. I am not always the same. But please know how much I appreciate reading what you have to say. Now why are you a schmooze?
Comment by Dave on 10:45 PM
Haha nice man, thank you! I will chew on this a bit and cook up a worthy schmooze. ^^
Comment by ajooja on 1:18 AM
I'm a horrible commenter. I usually never know what to say.
I'll get to the tag, but it may have to wait until Monday. Thanks. :)

Leiselb, it's the schmoozing... I'm not saying you're not a thinker, though. I'm just giving you what I have. But take your time, and thanks for doing that. I know I came out of nowhere with this thing.
Dan, thank you. That's what you get for promoting other blogs.
Scot, damn. I knew I could count on you to make a reference to the penis picture. But I don't really have a following of any kind, do I? That's insane. Anyway, I hope the picture doesn't disappoint you. It'll be a few days probably.
Let's, thanks. You too.
Enemy, I wish I had more time to surf and leave comments. And I think you left a comment here before I did on your blog, so there. I think it was sometime last year. So don't be too hard on yourself. There's a lot of stuff I read and think is beautifully written or funny but I have nothing to add as a comment.
And what do you mean, why am I a schmooze? Do you mean why I choose to schmooze or what do I do that makes me a schmooze?
Dave, didn't mean to ruin your vacation. But I guess schmoozing is a time-off activity.
and ajooja, take your time. And when you comment, you don't have to leave a word. That picture by itself is enough of an inspiration.

Congrats on your Schmooze award, you deserve it, and other awards as well.
Comment by Big Ben on 5:14 PM
How about pics of boobs instead, no penis pics.
Comment by People in the Sun on 1:53 AM
Leo, thank you. It's always nice to hear that.
Big, can we compromise on man-boobs?
Comment by Mel on 8:33 AM
I am still waiting the penis picture! I need a life, this is a sad state of affairs :)
Comment by People in the Sun on 12:18 PM
Mel, you won't be disappointed. I promise. Actually I don't promise. You might be disappointed. You won't. It'll be fun. Damn. So much pressure.
Comment by Mark on 8:06 PM
Hey, great to see a fellow schmoozer! Congratulations! :)
Comment by durante vita on 2:06 AM
If your arm does look like that in the picture, then I want your workout regimen... and the money for the personal trainer... and the time to make healthy meals... and I still want to be able to go to Boston Market like I did today and have meatloaf with sides of mac and cheese and creamy spinach and cornbread.
Please don't disappoint me. You don't know how much I need this right now.
Comment by People in the Sun on 8:08 PM
Mark, thanks. Now I'll sell this award on Ebay and schmooze all the way to the bank!
durante, you said it: spinach.
My arm doesn't really look like that, you know. And my tattoo doesn't say Revenge. It says Bat Out of Hell. Okay, I don't have a tattoo.
Comment by Ricardo on 5:39 PM
I got hit up for this one too. Ain't it grand?
Comment by People in the Sun on 12:39 AM
Ricardo, the difference is that you seem like a schmooze in real life, but all I want to do is sit in this room and type. Still, you must be an introvert to some degree if you have a blog.
Comment by Kali on 11:34 PM
Good job on the Schmooze Award and thank you for the mention! Now, I gotta learn how to "tag". LOL
Comment by People in the Sun on 2:02 AM
Kali, it'll be fun, no?
Comment by Jill on 1:08 AM
Leiselb - I'm pretty sure you got tagged to post a picture of a penis...
Congrats on the award!
