So it happened. Thanks to you. I bow and thank you. Urban Ninja made it back into the top 10 sports blogs in South Africa. Suprisingly, as I never nominated the blog for an online marketing category, I appear in there too. Assume nothing, pursue everything is the motto, so go after it we will.

If the process wasn’t drawn out enough, I now need you to click the button again and vote again. Until the 17th it seems you can vote every 24 hours, so come back to this page and click the button every day and make a vote count for me, please. I know its lame to ask you to vote every 24 hours, but the reality is that its the rules and states it on their website and if someone with 500 votes gets those votes each day, then if I get 10 000 individual votes, I still wont win. Seems a weird system to me, but hey, these are the rules. Also, if you have more than 1 email address, then register each address. That’s allowed too. I wonder if someone is going to register 1000 email addresses and vote for themselves each day. Oh, wait. I have a normal job and train silly hours and this is just a blog. Back to reality.

Thank you for the continued support. Now set a reminder in your Outlook or Gmail to daily go and vote for the Urban Ninja. I, in turn, promise to keep going above and beyond for content. Raoul

thats right. I am still a little unsure how you did it, because it had nothing to do with me…

here are some of the great facts:

1. a small triathlon blog beat ALL the rugby blogs but one.
2. a small triathlon blog beat ALL the cricket blogs.
3. a small triathlon blog beat ALL the soccer blogs.

we got 2nd people! 2nd place out of all the sports blogs in South Africa!! I can believe it.

then we also got 3rd in the Original Writing section! thank you for voting. I am completely blown away by this and now feel the pressure to write even better stuff, ALL the time.

too bad Safe House 2.0′s ADSL is on the josef fritzl… it will be fixed this weekend and next week we will be full of great posts, least of all……… Ironman SA 2009.

You guys rock! Urban Ninja made it into the top 10 for two categories at the SA Blog Awards . This purely has to do with your votes and I am humbled and amazed at the categories and the company I am keeping in the lists I made it onto.

Unfortunately, I do need you to now go and vote again, for the two categories that I made it into. Luckily, SA Blog Awards makes it super easy to get this done, and have designed a nice widget (which is in my sidebar) to click and its that easy.

I am in the following categories:

1. Original Writing
2. Sports

The widget should make it super easy to get this done so if you could do that for me, I would be most grateful.

Then obviously add this to your Facebook profile with the “Share This” button just below this post, as well as telling all your friends to come here, click the widget and vote for me! The site can only get better if there are more people coming here, forcing me ever so slightly so come up with better material for you, every single day.

But again, thank you for getting the site this far. I would never have thought it.

While you`re there, cast a vote for the From-The-Couch boys, we love their vibe.
