Dragon Loyalty Award…Thank-you Shaun

My sincerest thanks go to Shaun Gibson for this award

http://prayingforoneday.wordpress.com

He is one of the most consummate bloggers I have read to date, and his range of interests is far-reaching and most informative. I highly recommend visiting his site, and following his posts. He has opened my eyes on more than one occasion.

I would like to recognize a number of writer/reader/friends…to whom I must apologize, I do not comment or correspond to nearly as often as I wish I did.

A few of you may not even know who I am…and that’s OK, because I read your works, and enjoy your posts…sometimes I do not even comment, but several of you have been regular readers, and vice-versa…some I have not heard from in awhile, and you are missed…I understand how life takes the front seat sometimes, even for writers.

I am primarily more of a writer than a true blogger, although I must admit that the liaisons I have formed here have helped me develop and produce in a way that solitary writings (such as “Dancing in Dreamland”) seem almost like a vacuum by comparison.

I received this award in December, right before a series of losses, tragedies, hardships and adversities threatened to completely overrun my life for far too long, and these recognitions are long overdue.

I probably broke a few rules here and there, like too many awards, or not quite the right presentation or format, but more than anything, this is a sort of “Shout Out”…and besides, who of this group would not agree that rules are made to be broken…and bent…(over)…and perhaps even spanked….

Thanks to you all…Baraka Bashad

The Versatile Blogger Award

I’m  Honored to have received this Prestigious Award from Shaun http://prayingforoneday.wordpress.com

Please stop over and check out his site.

Rules:

1. Display the Award on your Blog.

2. Announce your win with a post and thank the Blogger who nominated you.

3. Present 15 deserving Bloggers with the Award.

4. Link your nominees in the post and let them know of their nomination with a comment.

5. Post 7 interesting things about yourself

Seven things about Chazz

1. Retired Paramedic. Aspiring Shaman. Twenty-two year career in Emergency Medical Services, including eight years in Fixed-wing Air Ambulance Transport.

2. Musician. Artist. Teacher. Lover of the Eternal Muse.

I’m told that I’m easy on the eyes, but hard on the spirit. I tend to get a bit over-revved by Intelligent, creative, loving people. I love to feel the flow of energy and ideas back and forth between those who are fearless enough to trust their nature and understand the difference between a thrill and a fear.

Married six times. Divorced four times. Widowed once. Recently began twenty-third consecutive year of marriage to the same woman.

3. Photographer/Videographer/Filmmaker/Multi-Media artist/Amateur Radio Operator/Electronics Aficionado/Science Geek. Amateur Pornographer.

4. Poet. Post-Neo Dharma Bum. Pervert Mad Philosopher. Polyamory Aficionado. Vocal  local Non-violent Advocate of Generalized Rebelliousness. Chaos Aficionado.

5. Weapons and Martial Arts Aficionado.

6. Part Zen Buddhist, part-time pacifist. Not so much an Atheist as an Antithesis. The Guy your Parents Warned you About. The Serpent in the Garden. The Devil’s Advocate…but no, I’m not Satanic…Trust me. (Briefly toyed with the notion of becoming the Champion of Injustice, Greed, Treachery, Cruelty and Hatred in a last-ditch attempt to finally be on the winning team, but they didn’t have a health plan.)

7. Fisherman. Unrequited Paramour of Mother Nature.

I now nominate 16 bloggers: (I was compelled to stretch the rules here)

Share The Love Award

SHARE THE LOVE AWARD

 

Anastasia aka http://astraltravler.wordpress.com/2013/06/15/share-the-love-award/ has presented me with this Wonderful Award.

In Accepting this Generous Award, I must complete the following questions and pass this Award on to no more than 11 Blogger’s.

 

1.  Name an enduring sorrow, something that has lasted for over a year.

The loss of communion and favor of my spouse, my Goddess.

2. Best song that captures an enduring sorrow.

Rain Tree in the Garden, or Torch Song

3.  Band with the best lyrics.

Dave Matthews

4.  Band with the best music.

Dream Theater or Jeff Beck

5. How do you relate to nature? I mean do you need it, trees, lakes, seas, mountains etc.

It is a part of me, and I am a part of it. We are One.

6. Appliance you cannot do without.

Air Conditioner and Refrigerator.

7. Have you ever been bullied?  describe it (if you feel ok that is)

Yes. Anyone who works for any major corporation already knows.

8.  Did you ever sleep with someone because that would be easier than telling that person or persons, no?  Describe that…if you feel ok   That would be just about every time…because I hate to say no, and Yes feels so good, and if the question is persons, as in plural, absolutely! I find it very difficult to refuse anyone, as long as there is some kind of attraction, and I love to see the best in people for as long as I can, unless they insist on convincing me otherwise.

9. Is there a painter you like?  Link please…

Peter Paul Rubens http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Paul_Rubens

10.  favourite you tube clip…link please

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQO-aOdJLiw

11.  Most masochistic thing about you…..this is me after all …. describe if you feel ok.

I keep going back to work for someone else…and, oh yeah, sometimes I also like to have my ass spanked (but not at work).
