Took me a while to post this. I’ve been busy. Yeah, that’s it. Busy.

It seems all of this meme is really about #4 anyway. Oh, and recognizing your peers.

In order to receive the award, there are some rules to follow:

1. Thank the person who nominated you for this award.
2. Copy the logo and place it on your blog.
3. Link to the person who nominated you for this award.
4. Name 7 things about yourself that people might find interesting.
5. Nominate 7 Kreativ Bloggers.
6. Post links to the 7 blogs you nominate.
7. Leave a comment on each of the blogs letting them know they have been nominated.

1. Thank the person who nominated you for this award.
Thank you to both Jim and YvesPaul!

2. Copy the logo and place it on your blog.
There appears to be two different logos? This one is from Jim:

And this one if from YvesPaul:

I think I like the one YvesPaul has better. It looks a lot more “Kreativ”. And a lot less like Grandma threw up.

3. Link to the person who nominated you for this award.
Both Jim and YvesPaul “nominated” me with the “Kreativ Blogger Award”.

4. Name 7 things about yourself that people might find interesting.

1. I have extremely flat feet. To the point I used to wear (and am supposed to still wear) custom corrective arches.
2. I got my first tattoo in 1995. It was more than a decade before I got my next one.
3. I am nearsighted. Extremely. Anything more than 7 inches away from my eye is blurry. A foot or more away and it’s like the blocked-out faces on “Cops”.
4. I mentally re-write the lyrics to most songs… in my head. And then I can never hear the original lyrics when the real song actually plays, I just hear mine.
5. I had both my nipples pierced in the past. Hated the piercings; twas not for me.
6. I used to have a hard time getting rid of things/throwing things out. I’ve gotten a lot better “simplifying” in the last couple of years.
7. For some unknown reason I posted this picture on Twitter/Facebook the other night. I think I was having a psychotic moment. I guess I should consider it an incentive to do push-ups… or something. (Update: Apparently the image was posted to guyswithiphones.com at some point. Embarrassment x10! I guess that’s how the Internet works….)

5. Nominate 7 Kreativ Bloggers.
I’m fairly certain this has already hit almost every blog on the planet. I’m just late to the party. So I’ll be nice and say all the blogs I follow. Because they are all awesome. 😉

6. Post links to the 7 blogs you nominate.
See #5.

7. Leave a comment on each of the blogs letting them know they have been nominated.
Why aren’t numbers 5, 6, and 7 all just one step? Really?
