...ahem...as loyal readers know, now and then this humble blog receives awards from fellow bloggers...(with very little money changing hands...usually)...and, generally, that involves passing on the award to other deserving bloggers...known as blog love...which I’ve been far too uncooperative and un-loving to do....and so, the time has come to atone...(even though I’ll no doubt end up doing more harm than good by forgetting people who really deserve awards)...so, since nobody’s actually given me any awards lately...drum roll, please...
...Yoga for Cynics is, like, totally thrilled to present the highly prestigious, karmically significant, and not at all tacky Floating Glowing Being of Pure Love Award... redeemable for 15% off orders of $100 or more at participating International House of Yoga™ locations...honoring blogs and bloggers about whom I can think of something funny to say at the moment...Holly's Earth to Holly is kinda like the blog version of that mellow friendly house where your mellow friendly friends live with their mellow friendly dog...you wanna stop by without calling first, you wanna hang out, you wanna borrow CD’s, you wanna crash on the couch...it’s all good...
Brooks' appropriately titled Yogic Muse is where half the posts here started out as comments...seriously, if this blog ever started making money, I’d worry about a lawsuit if Brooks wasn’t so full of that yogic lovingkindness and stuff...
Melinda's Melindaville offers such well-written, often hair-raising first person accounts of drug abuse, prostitution, and other really serious stuff that all the jokes I can think of are coming out way too offensive...
Iranian poet Human Being at Thus Spake the Crow appears to be further out there than I am...which I find kinda threatening...
Clutterquake is Lydia’s other blog...and it's getting the award instead of her main blog ‘cause that’s how edgy I am...
Seeing Eye Chick at Apocalyptics Anonymous is seriously pissed off...do not fuck with Seeing Eye Chick...she will fuck you up...
Lisa at Ecoyogini practices yoga in Canada, kinda like Roseanne at It’s All Yoga, Baby, which means...jeezus, I’m right on the cusp of making some lame-ass joke about curling, Celine Dion, and locust pose...which means my well of creativity is just about tapped....so that’s all for now...we return you to your previously scheduled internet activity...

I am honestly truly ecstatically thrilled to take this award over to Clutterquake and post it on the sidebar there. You've outdone yourself with this award, Jay. I'm afraid you've actually made it meaningful!
Bahahaha.
Celine lives in the states now- LOL. Thank goodness. you guys can KEEP her.
i don't think I get the locust pose part though...
I adore your beautiful, obviously spiritually inspired hand drawn waves of The Light. AWWWEEE-some.
Yes! Awesome. What you give away, may you thrice receive! Floating and Glowingly yours, Brooks
Human being...a master at what she does.
I'm less competitive than you are. I only do asana at home for my own enjoyment and only to enhance my reading of the Upanishads.
Now, tennis? That's another story.
Love your new award. Now I know that someday, if I keep writing and blogging, I too might be the proud recipient of a "Floating Glowing Being of Pure Love Award". It will motivate every minute of my blogging life and drive me to greatness.
Thanks for the interesting sites to check out.

What are we going to call these for short. "Lovies"? Congratulations on your "Lovie" award?

hey Dr. Jay... first i thought you are hacked... i clicked on your name on comments box in my blog just to see a strange page talking about "The Soon Coming Climax
Proof The Bible Is True"...
have you written that stuff?!!!
:D
and then i come through another door to your blog and see i'm awarded by one of the least competitive yogis of the world... an award of love... the least competitive concept in the cosmos... cause it just flows...and feeds... speed does not matter...
and...
human beings like me are not in the least threatening... especially if they are Iranians...
:)
that Iran media illustrate as a threat is not Iran... the rulers are not Iranians... Iran is the land of love... mehr... mitra...
thanks a lot for reading me and understanding me... and also for the appreciation... even if it is a dot (.) in the comments box...
it means a lot to me...
;)
and surely you know about the root of the word yoga?
it comes from the word yogh (also a Persian word)... it's been the device fastening the two oxen used for plowing... the yogh caused them to be one powerful force... it made them united... the way you are uniting your mind and body while practicing yoga... the way you are uniting different souls from different corners of the world...
whenever i read you, i can see how beautiully you practice yoga in all aspects of your life...
love and peace to you my dear friend...
ps.
dear Walking Mark,
i'm blushed... encouragement from masters like you and Dr. Jay gives new wings to a soul who is killed everyday here in this occupied land...
caaw caaw!
thanks for the lovin'! but yeah, you're going to have to explain the locust pose and canada reference...
i can't wait to check out your other loves... lots of interesting-looking things there.
Lisa and Roseanne: having thought of two stereotypical Canadian things that might be thrown into a lameass yoga-in-Canada joke, I decided I needed something yogic as well...and, unable to think of something both stereotypically Canadian and yogic, I just threw in a random asana...like I said, I was running low...
Thanks for all the comments, folks, and, as for the "Proof of the Bible" thing, I think that's somebody who buys up websites with url's really similar to those of existing sites, and, thus, when a clumsy fingered blogger mistypes a link, you end up there instead of here..
Congratulations to all your (I'm sure) well-deserving recipients. Now I have some new blogs to explore.
Dr Jay, I am seriously pissed off. So pissed off that I have deprived myself of your presence, and you and other places that offer me the kindness and a peak at compassion I really shouldn't deny myself. I cannot thank you enough for the hilariously true things that you say about me and my humble howl into the multiverse. I wish I was into Yoga, then when I glow, it would not be due to me throwing off flames and sparks of pure rage. But there is love in there somewhere. I guess you knew that. Thanks for seeing threw me and the real me Dr Jay. Thanks for seeing.
Woo HOO, Jay! You really made my day. Truly--I can think of really no greater honor than being named a 'floating, glowing being of pure love.' I can now die in peace! :)
Thanks Jay!
Melinda
Now that I am past day one of the incredible rush of having been recognized in such a cool group of blogs--I am in awe of this--I just want to say thanks for reading and being a part of my blog. And I'm glad that you find things there that you might like to think and write about. That's just the best!
Awww, drjay, how sweet of you! I've gotta join Melinda in saying that you've made my day too. And what a cool design--I love it--who knew you were so artsy among all your other talents?! And you're right...all doggies and mellow crashers welcome at ETH. If you aint't mellow when you git here, we'll mellow you out.
I am so sorry to comment ONLY on your award post, but I am full up with Wendy's Frosties and I must hit the Piggly Wiggly before the deer start to clog up the twisty-turny country road I must travel back to...my mom. Eeekers.
Thank you again for your beautiful award and a big congrats to all your other recipients, whom I am honored to be mentioned alongside.
Take care drjay...
good picks for your prize... and I like the narrative too... the least competitive yogi prize should be up next!
Congratulations! :)
I don't know Jay, I may be more uncompetitive than you. So much so that your enticement to "bring it, bitch" almost scared me out of commenting:)
Just found your blog through some other link, maybe Writerquake?
I do yoga every day but don't blog about it that much. But I saw that you wrote about competitive yoga. There was an article in the NY Times about it. Wow, that is crazy, isn't it?
Thanks for your interesting thoughts.
warmly,
Erika
