I’d like to thank the academy.

Some of the best news to land on the doorstep in a while is that NoCategories has been nominated for an award! Two awards, it looks like. TennesseeBloggers.com has added this website to the list of nominees for the “Best East Tennessee Blog” and for “Best Pro/Anti Something” Personally, I would really like to win the “Best Pro/Anti Something” award. That award would look so beautiful on my mantlepiece right next to my manic depression medications and my postmodernism textbooks. Even more existentially confusing is the fact that I am no longer a resident of Tennessee, although I am officially still a student there until June, compounded by the fact that this blog seems to somehow still “be” in Tennessee, compounded by the fact that I’m not sure such a thing as a website can really exist in space, whether that space is in Tennessee or anywhere. How’s that for being “Pro/Anti Something” Oh, I do hope to see that nomination become an award.

The website, “Award-Winning Tennessee Bloggers” describes itself this way:

Award designations for the websites featured on TennesseeBloggers.com are created by the host of this site merely in the spirit of good will and fun. Site awards are based on the overall theme or tone that each side depicts. Please don’t take these awards too seriously… it’s all for FUN!

The aim of TennesseeBloggers.com is simple: To help fellow Tennesseans promote their websites and generate more traffic for their Blogs.

What started out as a personal mission to locate fellow Bloggers (like ourselves) who reside in the state of Tennessee (as we do) quickly turned into this massive directory of all the best Blogs in Tennessee!

We came to realize that there are so many talented writers right here in Tennessee, as well as creative minds and people with something to say… that we wanted to give props to them all.

Thus, a “bonus”… if a subjective “award” designation from this site helps to make someone else’s site more noticeable at a glance or worthy of a read, then so be it.

I was shocked to see that the entry on the site is very well-informed when it comes to the recent confusion about the byline for this blog. Most of the recent versions of the byline have been worked into the description of NoCategories somewhere.

The only thing that isn’t so exciting about this is that the awards’ homepage doesn’t seem to have a way to suggest other blogs for nomination. I feel a little bit guilty being nominated when I am no longer an actual resident of Tennessee, and I would like to help my karma by nominating a few of the good blogs that have sprouted up among my classmates, particularly Scott King’s QuixoticEpisodic and Nathan Higdon’s Blog and lets not forget my nomination for the best title award, The Homeless Parrot
