Its Worse Than Losing to Someone Who Blogs About Cats

Okay, okay, I'll admit it, my production has fallen off lately because of the run-off election and I have my hands full with that right now. (By the way, someone asked for my thoughts on the run-off election and I'll get to that very soon, promise.)

I was nominated for Best Blogger in the Local Legends category again this year and again, I lost. My streak of failure continues. Its actually been sort of a running joke between David K and I over the last few years because there used to be several different people that put stuff like that out every year and every year I'd lose to David K.

Which never bothered me because he and I aren't competitive with one another and it was during the time when he was rippin' out an Open Letter almost weekly. Hell I voted for him.

I usually make jokes about the fact that I always lose out to some ridiculous blog topic in the What's Up Magazine version of the list. But seriously, have I angered the blogging gods?

I lost to someone who blogs about vegetables. Effin' VEGETABLES!!!!

I don't mind losing to someone who blogs about kitties, or crocheting, or classic cars, or freakin jazz music for that matter.

And I don't mind the fact that I lost to an entertainment blogger. The guy writes good stuff and I read it every day myself for news about concerts and reviews. I really dig his stuff.

But there is just something extra effin' painful about losing to some lady who blogs about FREAKIN' VEGETABLES! I'm not sure how much more what's left of my ego can take!

Hell a foodie blog would be a respectable loss.

But freakin' vegetables!!!! The lady blogs about vegetables.

Do you have any idea how much I'm going to be made fun of because of this?

A lot.

And you know what? I deserve it. Because I would make fun of me losing to a lady who blogs about FREAKIN' VEGETABLES!

Next time I go to eat chicken wings and some hot waitress brings me that little annoying container with carrot sticks and celery I think I might blow my lid. And the next time my mother or my overly-concerned daughters tell me I should eat more vegetables, I think I might disown them.

And my friends and family that are VEGETARIANS or VEGANS, you better keep your distance for a few days!!!!

I could handle losing to a blog about cats. At least they are mammals.

But freakin' VEGETABLES!

The blog is basically pictures of food. If I wanted to see pictures of food people are eating I would just look at my Instagram feed. There are plenty of pics of food there.

I spend hours collecting content, editing video, doing analysis, and writing insightful, well-researched stuff. And I lose to someone who posts recipes for freakin' roasted egg plant. Most of the people I know think and egg and a plant are two separate food items!

I don't even want to see tomato sauce for several days...
