Almost a year ago, (July 29th, 2020 to be precise), I was nominated for the Vincent Ehindero Blogger Award from Ospryshire’s Realm! Unfortunately between the pandemic and the social issues, I needed to adjust myself to prioritize my mental health and well-being, so I took some time away from my blog. I have now returned and it was only right to include this award within my new arsenal.

Ospryshire’s Realm is an authentic blog that highlights this young, black, and gifted individual’s journey in a well-complicated world, and I’m honored to receive this award from that individual. Thank you, C.M.B. Bell for the nominations.

Unfortunately, because it’s been a year since I have been around, I have no nominations at this time. However, as the old saying goes, “Rules are meant to be broken.” Seriously, if you know of other bloggers who are legitimate with their writing, please post them in the comments so I can shine a spotlight on them too!

Here are the rules:

-Thank the blogger who nominated you and provide a link to their blog.

-Post the award logo.

-Post the rules.

-Nominate up to 20-30 other bloggers and notify them.

-Notify Vincent of your nomination, via comment.

-After notifying Vincent, he’ll check out your blog, follow and give you your unique award for the good work on your blog.

-I’m not sure if we are supposed to have some questions for the nominees, but I received some, so I will answer them.

1. If you could get one singer, band, or composer to score a movie based on your life, who would it be?

I feel the perfect singer, band or composer to score a movie based on my life would surely be either one of my all-time TV/film composers, Sean Callery (LFN) or Nathan Barr (Trueblood).

2. Which three countries would you like to visit that you have never been to before?

I am always looking for places that will influence reflections into my life and where I am at in my journey. One place I always wanted to go to, and I almost was able to go last year was Kenya. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, studying abroad was cancelled. The other two countries I would love to go to is one of the countries that represent my bloodline and heritage, Sweden or Norway, and I would love to visit Chili or Peru.

3. What is one thing you wish you could do right now if COVID-19 didn’t happen?

Travel abroad and re-evaluate my purpose in my life.

4. Describe how you feel at the moment when you post this award post in a haiku form.

True Recognition
I Am Honored, Speechless, Blessed
Shit! What an award!

5. Which fictional character would you want to hang out with for an entire day? What things would you do? What conversations would you have?

Oh, man (laughing). I could go so many directions with this question. I could get the silent treatment by Michael Samuelle and go kill terrorists with the operatives of Section One (LFN), I could go get myself killed by hanging with Eric Northman or Bill Compton (Trueblood), but have sophisticated conversations with these century old vampires, or I can just go and chill at Disney with Goofy and the gang, tell jokes, and giggle. Yeah, that one sounds so much more relaxing to me (laughing).
