| Contest Update II | | Print | |
| Written by Joeprah | |
As promised, I said I would do a contest update every two weeks, for those involved, in the first ever Independence Day Contest at Joeprah.com. I did my first update on May 12th to kick things off and this update is to keep everyone aprised of where they stand. Once again I will introduce our contestants. There are some late entrants and I wanted to make sure everyone visiting could see the complete list of bloggers involved in the "bloggy death match." So, here we are--the contestants: First, we have MileHighDad. MHD is another stay at home dad blogger and just was mentioned in Woman's World. He is a heck of a nice guy and is very involved in his young son's life as you can tell by his blog which includes movies of his boy dominating at soccer and photos that his son takes with their digital camera. Melisa from Suburban Scrawl is another participant and perhaps one of the nicest people I have met in the last few month from blogland. She is a published author and blogs about this and that and everything in between at her blog. RDH Mom, is a dental hygientist from California that has a tight knit family and she openly blogs about them and her adoption tales. She has great taste as she frequently drops by and comments here at Joeprah. Mommy Cosm, another contestant, hales from New England. She is a softball coach, mom, and blogger (obviously). She honestly gives an introspective look into her life via her blogging prowless and can make you laugh/cry/smile with her awesomeness. *Note: Joeprah doesn't cry* Colorado Green Dad, this guy is relatively new on the scene. I mean not in life or whatever, but rather in my realm of experience. Very enthusiastic, very cool and like any Joeprah fan savvy beyond all reasonable measurement. Trysh, this lady is super nice and has a super cool jewelry blog. She is very talented and a very geniune, kind soul that I am happy to have met. Penelope, not Trunk, but rather my friend from Cafe at the End of the Universe. She writes Idol updates, poetry, posts photos, talks about her family and almost anything really. She is very cool and very down to Earth. Allie Bear, another new friend of mine, she blogs about her life in a no-holds-barred fashion leaving me blushing from her posts on occasion. She is funny and sassy. Word. Worn Out Woman, she is a Christian woman with a strong family. Her stories are both inspirational and relatable. For instance, her son donated money he received at his recent birthday party to charity, the story brought a *Joeprah doesn't Cry* watery substance to my eye. My boy Tom, over at Being Michael's Daddy, is an intelligent, well written, hilarious, intuitve dad that I am glad to have come across. Dude writes about his family and a lot about his youngest child Michael (who is much younger than his other kids and a bit of a surprise) in some poignant anecdotes. Respect. Pete, well--he basically is the ownage at most things, but his speciality is owning with his camera phone. He is smart, witty, and one heck of a good blogging friend. 50% smart-tech-camera guy, 50% witty blogger, 120% awesome. Momo, if you don't know Momo from MomoFali you are missing out. Period. She is really friggin' funny and has some awesome observations about life and parenting. A mom blogger that is married with two children that is relentless in her persuit of being one of the best bloggers ever. She is basically my hero. Jared, over at DadThing.com, writes about being a dad to one of the cutest boys in history, Ace. He has some excellent observations about his experiences being a new dad. Dude, is both intelligent and funny. Huckdoll, this sassy blogger is hip and almost as cool as I am, yeah right. Her blog is very popular and she may be one of the front runners in this competition. Tyler, he has a blog over at Building Camelot that looks at the topics of parenting, being a dad, and being a guy under a microscope. Cool dude and a relatively new bloggy friend that I am glad to have met. HRH, another new friend of mine that has a very cool witty mom blog at June Cleaver Nirvana . She has a cool family and unique blogging style I find refreshing and fun to read. Christine is a late entry to the contest from SerenityHow. Christine is a mom blogger, but she is more--much more. She is random, funny and very entertaining. I have been following her blog for several months now and she never disapoints. Another late entry into what can only be called "The Best Contest Ever" is OurCrookedTree. Well, that's her blog anyways. OCT blogs about life-period. She's been dealing with some real issues lately, and her strength through the adversity is evident in her honest upfront approach she takes in her writing. Check her out, if you haven't already done so. And our final contestant is Kim from Jogging in Circles. Now, notice her pink background and the cutesy appeal of her blog--yep, she's a mom blogger, and guess what, she still likes me. Weird, right? I don't think so. So what, she has a pink blog--big deal. Her family is cute as heck, her blog is witty and fun to stop by and the pink isn't all that annoying to me as a guy (it kinda is
Once again, I have provided proof. This time the 'proof' is a little easier to access. I worked about 2 hours cuting/pasting/compiling/writing this post, once again proving how little of a life I have and how completely addicted to blogging I am. So...you're welcome. Here are the stats in picture form. The picture is clickable (of course) and if you have any questions about the traffic tool I have do not hesitate to ask. I will tell you that it is a database traffic tool, and because of this it collects data in a slightly different format, but, bottom line, it is reliable and the agreed upon tool for the contest.  The big story, of course, is that Huckdoll had fallen behind Momofali. Momo has put on the afterburners after a slow start. She has a great campaign going and has promised to donate her winnings to a charitable cause. Some other interesting stories are some of the close races. For instance, only 30 referrals stand between MyGPSCameraPhone and Blessed1 (WornOutWoman)! Who will win that match up? Riveting stuff people. Then we have three horses separated by only 26 referrals. Allie Bear, Our Crooked Tree, and Jolly Green Dad are neck and neck. I wonder how this match up will look in two more weeks. What will be the stories next week? Who will make impressive strides? Is this officially a two horse race now or what? Does anyone care? Thanks once again to J, Kitiara and Birdie for their continued editing support. All You Gots to Do is Click
