Screw it. I’m in the mood to be totally selfish.

I want to be nominated for and then win the title of 2008 Poet Laureate of the Blogosphere. It’s an essentially meaningless award and as I maintain an essentially meaningless blog, I think I deserve this.

Besides, I ain’t pretty enough for Famecast and since I’ve never actually shamelessly shilled for myself to win something before, this seems to be about my speed. I NEED to do that at least once in my life in order to share in that experience with the rest of the slam world, don’t you think?

So someone go here and nominate me (just once is all that’s needed):

and then send everyone you know to vote for me.

If elected, I promise to change something or other with my vast experience on day one and then keep doing it for a hundred years. (See?? I’m topical yet oblique. What more could you ask for?)
