#15 I Need Your Votes (Loose Threads, Vol. 7-Best of Feb 09)

Hey, Sock Heads. It’s the final weekend of the month so as always I do my greatest hits recap. Before we get to that, though, I want to thank all of those that helped get NakedWithSocksOn.com nominated in seven categories for the 2009 Black Weblog Awards, but I still need your help for the final days before voting ends next Tuesday on September 1st. Winners will be announced next Friday, September 4th, hopefully NakedWithSocksOn.com will be one of those chosen few.

In order for that to happen I just need to make sure that you and your friends cast your votes for me. NakedWithSocksOn.com is nominated for the following:

Best Blog Post Series: Wet Wednesdays
Best Blog Post Series: 30 in 30 (90 Blogs in 30 Days)
Best Microblog (aka Twitter)
Best Personal Blog
Best Sex & Relationship Blog
Best Writing in a Blog
Blog of the Year

For some reason you can only vote in four out of the 30+ categories listed at a time, so select your top four sections and we’ll let the people decide from there. If you’ve already voted, feel free to ask your friends to cast their ballot as well. Thanx in advance for your support once again.

The Recession Killed Valentine’s Day (Less of a Man)
A few weeks into my unemployment I started to come to terms with my financial uncertainty and how a man with no money usually doesn’t get many honeys. CLICK HERE to see what revelations I and others unemployed folks made.

Definition of a Jump-Off
Every time I turned around a woman is referring to a “jump-off” and how she wasn’t trying to be one. Problem is, most of the times they didn’t even know what a jump-off was so I decided to set them straight. CLICK HERE to read.

What’s Too Old To Be Living At Home?
Is there an age limit on when someone needs to move out of their parent’s home? Some say yes while others feel there are certain circumstances that make it okay. CLICK HERE to see how the debate went.

The Relationship Hierarchy (How Guys Categorize Women)
I came across an article where guys placed women in different categories based on a sports analogy. Needless to say it led to quite a debate. CLICK HERE to see where the women you know fall in this hierarchy.

Evening Epilogue: Aborting America

One of my most important pieces, I urge so many of our people to be more responsible about their sexual habits by not just knowing their STD status but their partners’ as well. CLICK HERE for a must-read article.
