Hey everyone! It’s your favorite blogger, writing to you from Flavour Cafe on 4th Street in Troy, NY.
I’m off from work until January 3rd on a “Stay-cation,” which if you’re not familiar with the word is what happens when you’re poor and have time off from work. I’ll be using this week to sleep in, see a movie or two (“True Grit” is first on my list), catch up on fantastic shows I somehow missed the boat on (seriously, how good is “Fringe” on Fox?), put in more time at my boxing gym, and reflect on the last year.
As 2010 draws to a close, it seems only natural that I do some year-end awards, so that’s what you’ll see here tomorrow. I’ll be giving away “awards” for my favorite people, bands, blogs, and more for 2010, both locally and worldwide.
But I wanted to know: what awards would you, my readers, give out for 2010?
Post your own year-end awards in the comments. I’ll pick my favorites and collect them for a post Friday morning.
Share it!

Best blogger to leave Times Union under a molehill of controversy.
(oh and guys, name your winers too!)
Because I can’t resist shameless self-promotion…
Best New Band of 2010: Insect Posse
Candidate for most unfortunate business name: “The Jim Jones Beverage Mart.”
Most interestingly named documentary film may be, “Female Puberty in Victorian Times: A Period Piece.”
Word most likely to make you not want to read a person’s blog.
And the winner should be … “Bobbleheads.”
Biggest Dumb A$$ 2010… D.Paterson
As for Best Blogger to Leave… I’m a little torn between Rob, Pat and J.Eric. All three were gifted writers, all three left amid some scope of controversy. Although if pressed, I would choose J.Eric as the winner of this award because I believe he is the most gifted blogger (scope, content and depth of knowledge). Additionally, he generated his own controversy as opposed to the other two who got swept up in blogger animosity towards thier private life. Pat should get an honorable mention, because he did attempt a comeback.
While you’re at it, how about a best “reader-blogger” TU all-star blog team?
2010 Unfettered, unabashed, butt kisser award… Alan Chartoc
Thanks for the honorable mention, EZ! JEric is a gifted writer, and as demonstrated by his exit, a highly principled guy.
