In my ongoing effort to practice humility, I urge you not to vote for My Pet Jawa for Best New Blog of 2004. Am I the only one out there who thinks that I don't deserve such an honor? Wait--don't answer that!! What I meant was am I the only blogger who thinks that their own blog is less worthy of an award than other blogs in the same category in which they were nominated?

I see that since I un-endorsed myself that I've dropped from fourth place to like seventh place. I will not rest until I am in last place!! So vote, er, for any one but Jawa. Like Laurence Simon I realize that this blog is full of crap.

The competition is getting pretty ugly out there.

1 No, you're not the only one. I refused to nominate myself. Although, the whole thing is MEANT to just be one big link whoring event. We could just come up with our own event and call it the "Great Big Link Whoring Festival". I'm sure it would be better than Cannes.

2 Editor--very right. Beth--not trying to make any one feel guilty. Wait. Yes I am!!!

3 I notice that you said you are "practicing humility," implying that you haven't yet achieved it. Freakin' show off.

4 Since I am pretty new to the blog world, I was not aware of these awards. Your the first one I have seen to not beg, bribe, and cry for votes! Therefore, I will vote for you. I like humble men.

5 Well, *I* voted for MyPetJawa as Best New Blog. Just thought I'd share my appreciation.

6 Maybe I should take this tact as well "don't vote for me!" that way when I lose miserably (as I am now) I can just claim I told people not to vote for me so I don't look like a total dumbass!

7 I would have voted for the Jawa, seein' how he's my true favorite of the bunch, but he said not to, and I'm an order-following sheep. Defeating Kerry Spot is a much more noble goal.

8 Yeah, like Kerry Spot is really a blog. Not everything on the internet is a blog. If I work for a company, and that company pays me to put stuff on the internet, I'm not a freaking blogger!!!!!

9 Well I have no shame in the link-whoring department. BTW, should I retract my vote for mpj?
