Thinking Blogger (Who, me?)

Thanks, RN_Buffoon, for nominating me for the "Thinking Blogger" award (takes a deep, low-waisted bow). And now, for the instructions:

1. If, and only if, you get chosen, write a post with links to 5 blogs that make you think.

Here are the bloggers that amaze and delight me:

Radio Ventriloquist "God's Child" - An amazing lady with her eyes wide open. Her heart and spirit are definitely her flowers. She's adventurous and always discovering something new (I live vicariously through her!) therefore, I visit her site often.
Maintain Sane "Icey" - A mom who's endured so much and still manages to raise herself up higher. She doesn't post as often as she used to, but still worth the read.
The Brutha Code - Another talented writer not afraid to say exactly what's on his mine. I discovered him a couple of years ago (BTW, it doesn't hurt that he's in my brother fraternity)
Yeah...I Said It - A new read for me. A talented writer with a natural gift for comedy. He's not afraid to laugh at himself or you.
Blography of Southern Writer - Astrologer and writer extraordinaire and a heart the size of Texas! I think we were maybe related in a former life.

2. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme.

3. Optional: Proudly display the Thinking Blogger Award.

So, I've finally accepted the award. Now, on to the after party!
