Every now and then, usually as an attempt to inspire me or at least get me off my ass and post more stuff, my buddy Kevin writes a comment on my blog or sends me an email rant.  They are always well written and most could stand as blog posts of their own.  In his latest rant, he tells me that I have a responsibility to wrote more… now that I’ve won that award, I have to live up to more lofty expectation.

Here’s his rant:

WE HAVE A WINNER!!

First, I’d be remiss if I didn’t start this off by saying congratulations on winning the Blogger’s Award. You could say that this was a people’s choice award, given the criteria to come out on top, so in part it’s congratulations to Me . . . and all the other readers who take some comfort coming back again and again to see what the latest posts are dealing with.

With reward comes responsibility. Keeping up with the Joneses doesn’t apply anymore because now it’s become “Keeping up with the Melees”. We, your loyal minions on the readership side, will be looking for cutting edge posts, satirical quips and an all round good time each and every chance we get to log on to the Award Winning Site. Critiques may come fast and furious if we feel let down from time to time and then there’s the fallout if, heaven forbid, writer’s block rears it’s ugly head. Readers can be so demanding, loyal readers even more so.

“Why it’s our blog now”,  some might say, “How dare he not have something up every time I turn on my computer. How can he get away with that, why, I won’t stand for it”.

And so it goes. Yeah, winning can be fun, but it’s not always about winning. Sometimes it’s about us.
