Sherri Cornelius

Once again, my friend Darcknyt has passed along an award to me, Sherri Blossoms. I think he must like me or something. I think he must be the only one who likes me, because despite my average 3 comments per post, he's the only one who ever awards me anything. Why do the rest of you pretend to like me?

Just kidding. Hahaha, funny, huh? (Please don't leave.)

Here is what he said about me:

Sherri’s a wide-eyed innocent despite nearly four decades of living life on Earth, and she traipses through the meadow of the world with wide-eyes locked up, toward the sky.  The occasional step into the manure littering the entire place doesn’t deter her long … only long enough to clean it off and keep going.

Dude, thanks for telling everybody I'm old. Hahaha, just kidding. (What is wrong with me today?) What I'd really like to thank you for is your appreciation and support. I hope I give at least as much as I get.

I looked around on Google (which for some reason always comes out Goggle first) for the origins and meaning of the Premios Dardo Award, and I found a guy (girl?) who had already done the research for me here, if you're interested. On that site, there is a rough translation of the original text which reads:

The Dart Awards Ceremony I 2008 appears among a large list of prestigious awards in the world of literature, and recognizes the values that each blogger shows each day in their efforts to convey cultural ethical, literary, personal, etc. values… in short, it demonstrates his creativity through his vibrant thoughts, which remain innate within the letters, torn between his words.

This makes me envision the dart of my words piercing your heart. I also envision the dart of my screeching piercing your eardrums. Please don't tell me which one is true.

I am going to pass this award along to several women who move me with their words on a regular basis.

• Claudia, even though she hasn't blogged much lately she has a good reason and still deserves to be recognized.


• Angela, who often blogs what I needed to hear that day.


• Marta, who has a way of hitting the nostalgia center of my brain with snippets of her own past.


• [ETA]Vanessa, who already has an award but deserves one from me, too. She makes me laugh on a daily basis.

Pass it along or don't, ladies, but know that you are appreciated.
