Cake Betch is a cool blogger. I found her through Pat Tillett when she featured a story of his in her drawings. I know we all love Allie Brosh and her Hyperbole and a Half... Cake is Ohio's Version of Oregon's Allie. Yeah. She's THAT good. I love her cartoons and her stories. I think I may have recently read on Twitter that she bought a backpack and hadn't had one in so many years! Really? I don't ever remember a time where I didn't have one.
I always have oodles of backpacks and try as much as I can to fight the urge from buying more.
Anyways, as usual - I'm totally not focusing.
Cake Betch needs some bloggy lovin'. She's going through some icky turmoils. Shit she doesn't deserve... So go check her out you'll enjoy her stories... I hate it when people I admire go through sadness. Don't they know they're freakin' awesome?
I am supposed to give it to 10 other bloggers. Ugh. If I read you then I love you, then you deserve the award... right? RIGHT? I love getting awards because I'm messed up that way and need the recognition, but choosing a limited group of people is SO HARD!
Way too hard. But this time I'm giving it to only one person. And it's a dude I find very inspiring. It goes to Micael Chadwick. Yes. He is inspiring. And has inspired me to create more art and leave behind me more beauty - as he does daily. Micael, you are a true inspiration. I know... I know... You don't give a rat's ass about these awards, and you're no longer "blogging" per say, but you still have a blog and still post regularly on it.
And because I think you are so deserving of this award, I'm not diluting it by making you share it with 9 others. This goes out to you. And only you. Don't ever stop making this planet a better place mon ami, your art is sheer beauty and anybody who gets to see it becomes a better person.
Congrats to you on the award and congrats to Micael. He is an inspiration and does deserve that. Nice job Nikki!!

Yeah, Cake is the shit! I've been reading several of your posts today, based on her (sound) recommendation!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I see that bacon comprises 50% of your about me. Ironically, I just told the story about my friend Johann who recently ordered a girl a plate of bacon at an all night diner. No, not someone he knew. Yes, it actually worked. I thought he was crazy but apparently many girls agreed that his approach was awesome.

Yaaaay!
ReplyDeleteFor you, for posts in support of other bloggers and, of course, for my deepest love, Rabbit.
Aaaand that's all for the love mush from me.
(You know it makes me uncomfortable, Nikki - why do you always DO it to me???)
You're brilliant.
(Okay that was just a little more and now I'm done.)

@ Barren: Sorry? It's ok to tap into your inner vulnerabilities, I think Javier would prefer a sweet soft vulnerable Barreness! ツ
you are inspiration - so yeah this award is something. it's all sorts of right. congrats love!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of awards... Seems you just got another one.
ReplyDeleteHEY there!
ReplyDeleteSorry I haven't been around in a while. Much too much going on here.
Congrats on the award! You've earned it! Also, thanks for the shout out! I really do appreciate it. I, like half the people in the known world love Hyperbole and half and have followed it for a long time, but I gotta tell you. I like Ms Betch's better because of the great stories. She didn't pay me to say this (yet).
I'm gonna be in the area for a while catching up, so stand at ease...
Totally love Cake Betch! Great tribute to her and her fabulousity!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, mon amore!
