Arte y Pico Awards
The wonderful blogger and AfroSpear member MsLadyDeborah has honored me with an award!
The Arte y Pico Award
As Lewis Hyde would argue, “a gift that cannot be given away ceases to be a gift.”1, and it is in that spirit that the Arte y Pico Awards (along with other blogger awards like the Thinking Bloggers Award) operates. Here’s the rundown:
The “Arte y Pico” award, you must know that it comes with a few rules. These rules are listed below:
1. You have to pick 5 blogs that you consider deserve this award for their creativity, design, interesting material, and also for contributing to the blogging community, no matter what language.
2. Each awardee has to have the name of the author and also a link to his or her blog to be visited by everyone.
3. Each award winner has to show the award and put the name and link to the blog that has given her or him the award itself.
4. Award-winner and the one who has given the prize have to show the link of “Arte y Pico†blog, so everyone will know the origin of this award: http://arteypico.blogspot.com/
5. Display these rules.
And now, on with the awards! I must admit; there will be no surprises here, since I’m constantly hawking the genius of these bloggers…
Nezua at The Unapologetic Mexican
Devious Diva at This Is Not My Country
Blackamazon at Having Read the Fine Print
Purple Zoe at Ultraviolet Underground.
Now, y’all know I’m not one to go around following the rules. So, I’m gonna add a few more to the mix for good measure:
Villager at the Electronic Village
XicanoPwr at ¡Para Justicia y Libertad!
Yeah, that’s right. I didn’t do what I was supposed to do. I added five additional bloggers. Take this as an historical moment. It’s one of the few times that a black person can do something out of line and Barack Obama won’t have to answer for it.

Rules? What rules?
Thanks Kevin. 
Thanks sweetie.
I love the rules are broken and we all benefit !
Congrats Kev. The best thing about you winning an award is knowing that you’re not in it for awards which in fact is, in part, what contributes to your winning it
I’m grateful that I get to have the opportunity to read your stuff. You bring it. You bring it every time with heart, justice, truth and caring.
One way or another, I need to find my way out east or vice versa so that we can sit having a cold one talking about this and that
Thank you Kevin! You’ve made my night. And I want you to know that A Slant Truth never ceases to inspire me to think and do more. Peace.
Thanks for sharing some of your faves with us!
It is hard to select just five blogs.:-)
Thank you, Kevin! I really appreciate it! And I’m with Eric, we need to sit down and chill over a cold one.
Gracias Kevin!!! Sorry for being late, I just noticed this.
