Thinkers of the World, Unite!

I've been tagged for the first time (thanks, Bill Blunt). It's nice to be recognized for writing. One step at a time. So here I am, using my powers for good and spreading the wealth, tagging five thinkers for the Thinking Blogger Award.

And as for those five bloggers, if any of you decides NOT to do this, you have every right to ignore it. However, my Statcounter knows where you live.

Chronically Sick, But Still Thinking I Think - You don't get forty comments on each post in a relatively new blog just for drawing cute pictures. Some of us pretend we're thinkers by philosophizing for hours but eventually leading our readers in circles. But Sebastien can draw a picture, show a video, and talk about a favorite 15th century painter without pretentious aspirations, yet a whole unifying picture begins to make sense.

durante vita - With topics as varied as modern living is, durante vita treats it all with respect (although when it comes to The View, maybe with too much respect).

Is it Raining? - For those who fear this award will continue to go in circles for What-is-Life-All-About-ers, I give you Spooky. Not many words, but the guy is a genius.

U N L O A D E D - It's as cool and intelligent as a Robert Rodriguez-Quentin Tarantino double-feature. (Now, I know you're busy with the grand re-opening, so I won't be offended if you take your time).

The Peace Tree - The quest for peace. A poetic, inspiring blog.

And apologies to all of you on my link list on the right. If you're there it means I appreciate your writing and believe in you. Cheers. Now, here are the rules. Cut-and-Paste:


The participation rules are simple:

1. If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to 5 blogs that make you think,
2. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme,
3. Optional: Proudly display the 'Thinking Blogger Award' with a link to the post that you wrote (here is an alternative silver version if gold doesn't fit your blog).
