Someone who reads this blog on a semi-regular basis thought it would be cute to nominate this little cancer of the internet called Weakonomics for a personal finance award. For more than two years now I’ve been writing garbage 6 days a week. And for some reason you idiots keep reading. Maybe it’s a pity thing. It’s like watching this season of American Idol. You keep watching it hoping it’s going to get better at some point.
I get it. You feel sorry for me. My home life has to be a mess for me to keep coming back to the blog or hiding behind the anonymity that is The Weakonomist. The Sheconomist must beat me down and in real life I walk around with slumped shoulders, staring at the ground. Even my dog pees on me instead of trees. But I don’t need nor want your pity.
For me to win any kind of writing award would be a direct insult to the establishment of journalism, editing, and professional writing. The last time I edited one of my posts George Bush was president. That’s how bad I am. I’d rather be reading FailBlog or playing Wii than making any meaningful contribution to the worlds of finance and economics. I’m a sour, overconfident, egocentric, jerk that had too many of those “participation” trophies growing up. I don’t even know how to use a semicolon and; I don’t know what half of the characters on my keyboard are used for, except for curse words. $#!+ guys, it’s inconceivable that I would be nominated for a writing award.
And to make matters worse, I’ve been nominated for TWO! You idiots put me in for best economics blog and most humorous personal finance blog. What is wrong with you? Why could you do this to me, the writing profession, and finance in general. This is a glorious mistake. So this is my plea to you:
DO NOT VOTE FOR ME!
If there was ever a sign the world will end if something happens, it’s this. But, you should go to the awards page and select a true winner in the categories above and all the other categories. If you haven’t heard of some of the blogs, check them out. Just please, for the sake of humanity, don’t vote for me.

Sorry buddy, I already voted for you in both the categories you were nominated. Guess I’ll have to take a bit of the blame when the world comes to an end.
