back in the saddle again

and to what horrifically fantastic topic do we owe my re-emergence into the blogosphere world? David Blaine. that's right, i said it. David freaking Blaine. let me explain...

this morning i rolled out of bed and successfully lugged my desk that just sold via Craigslist out of my room without giving myself a hernia. i put on a pot of coffee, and cracked open the old laptop to see what's going on in the world. the first headline that catches my eye reads, "Daredevil's stunt is a dud," with a subheadline stating, "The 'dive of death' finale to David Blaine's latest trick was a big letdown for some in the crowd." wait, WHAT? people were actually shocked that David Blaine is a huge crock of shit? oh the humanity...

i couldn't resist. i clicked on the article and proceeded to read the most idiotic waste of cyberspace ever imaginable. as reported by Yahoo "News", "I am totally unimpressed," Joshua Yoselowitz, a 31-year-old banker, told AFP. "I'd rather be at home. If his name hadn't been David Blaine I would never have come." darling Joshua Yoselowitz, you should be totally unimpressed by a douche bag whose previous claims to fame include sitting on a block of ice, locking himself in a plexiglass box, and being buried alive. the only thing involving David Blaine that could remotely impress me is if his hair managed to not catch on fire after some one threw a bag of flaming dog poop at his head. New York tabloid the Daily News passed its own verdict, saying: "Some folks are already saying the achievement should be marked with an asterisk." PEOPLE! do you even hear the words coming out of your own mouths? well, some other folks (ME) are saying the word "achievement" should be stricken from any sentence that is even referring to David Blaine.

it's comforting to know that at a time where our government is talking about a huge financial bailout to save our faltering economy some one, some where, is being paid to write about David Blaine. god bless America.
