Manic Expression

Greetings, fellow Manic Expressionists! Jason on the House here with the assistance of the OBotW committee to catch up with the Outstanding text and video blogs of the week for June 25th to July 1st. As always, this week had particularly brilliant stuff that made it so hard to select a winner. Honorable Mentions include:

And even this long list doesn't reflect all the amazing blogs that were posted that week. Do you have any idea how often do the comitee and I have to bite our lips and clech our teeth with determination when we shorten down our nominations to only seven?

*A champagne cork hits Jason on the House on the head, and someone gaily says "tell us the winner already!"*

WHO WAS THAT?! Anyway, we must present the winner:

MBA-Ms Bad Ass

who returned in a long while and narrated to us what happened at the movies with her boyfriend DeMario, and the disasterous film they saw: Tyler Perry's Madea's Witness Protection Program. She was poignant, funny, and blunt, and told us the story in great detail. Welcome back, MBA-Ms Bad Ass!

And so, everyone, let's lift our glasses to toast this week’s winner. (This time I brought grape juice for young people like me.)  “Here’s to you, MBA-Ms Bad Ass. May you continue producing hilarious, detailed and honest rants that we all enjoy as you’ve been doing.”

They were all great videos, but one stood alone at the top of the food chain pyramid, quoting Les. The Outstanding Blog of the Week for videos was, hands down:

James

who gave us STOP THE HATE #165 - The Why Nots, where he told us some sound advice from Kevin Smith, and just hit the nail on the head what makes a site like Manic Expression so unique: Why Nots having fun together, doing what they truly love.

James was really inspirational, passionate, and honest. We all have been there where we were ignored and questioned "Why?" when we talk about our interests and passion; however, everyone had the chance to be who they truly are in Manic Expression, without fear of persecution and loneliness. He talked about the podcast plays where we jumped in eagerly, because we wanted to share what we have inside of us.  

I'm really proud of this community, and to be friends with so many awesome people. Quoting Fusionater, we are a community of Why Nots, and we should pronounce it to the heavens, because, why not?

So let's raise our glasses. To James, who deserves a toast so much. James, we love you so much, and I cannot thank you enough for building and connecting this community where we can enjoy and express ourselves. It just wouldn't be the same here without you!
