So hey guys, there are these awards. No not the MUBA’s. It is the SA Blog Awards. Now, you know since I’ve recently become a web celeb I feel that you guys bloody owe me something… or maybe… like yeah. Would be cool I guess.

I’ve been looking at the categories, but before you go vote for me, here’s a brief musing on them. Most Controversial Blog?

Twindie.net might not be controversial, but you know what would be ironic? Is if you guys voted for me for Most Controversial Blog and I end up winning it – because I controversially won the most controversial blog. It’s like an epic Back to the Future paradox.

Best Green Blog?

That’s easy c’mon!

And look I can win in many of the categories:

Best Controversial Blog – I look like Barack Obama, Frodo and Kevin James

Best Sports Blog – Octopus Prediction World Cup Final

Best Politics Blog – Hatin’ Hate Speech

Best Personal Blog – Message to my Future Self

Best Food Blog – Korean Nuke’em Cuisine

Best Entertainment Blog – Justin Bieber doing a Segway Getaway Fail

Best Science and Technology Blog – The Antikythera Mechanism and other OOPA

Best Music Blog – Don’t Touch me on my Studio REMIX

Best Business Blog – Solutions for BP

Best Travel Blog – Learn Na’vi for your visit to Pandora

Best Parenting Blog – Tips for your Kids who go Clubbing

But alas. I doubt many will feel the same way. I guess I’m just really sad that there isn’t a “Best Irony/Post-Modern Blog” category. Oh well, for now, please vote for me in the Best New Blog and best BLOG ever! Just click on the tiny ticket stub below, or you can do it manually if want to nominate for other categories. Remember you need to verify that you voted with the email thing on the right.

Read this in a very heavy American accent: You might remember me from such blog posts such as Die Antwoord Gig or Don’t Touch Me on My Studio Remix. My name is Niel and recently I’ve been in the newspaper and on a really popular site. So, am I a famous blogger now? Do I have mad influence?

I reckon I need to go a little bit more RESPECT from other gangsta bloggers or go “ride” with them in the web-hood. I’m having an existentialist blogger fame crisis. Who am I? When am I famous? Will I be the next Mashable? Or even Hipsterrunoff? I probably need some endorsement deals first.

I reckon you only reach fame, when people get excited about your sex tape, or maybe post explicit pictures of you on PerezHilton.com.

When does one really become a “blogger”? If you post one post, are you a blogger? Or do you need to be like working “blogger”? Pay your server and other expenses like food and drinks, so I can be like 2Oceansvibe, probably South Africa’s only legit “blogger”. Time will tell. For now, I’m ending this blog post, ’cause I’m flying to LA to meet Zooey Deschanel for a coffee.
