I have the "TIME 100" in my bathroom. For those who don't know, this is a list of the 100 most influential people in the world. Many of the blurbs on each person are written by other famous people who know them / work with them / etc.
I don't have a problem with the people on the list. What I do have a problem with are the authors of the blurbs. Many of them spend almost as much time talking about themselves as they do about the people they're supposed to be celebrating.
This is a list about influential people today, not the people who may have had some influence 20 years ago, or the people who are insanely jealous of the influential. Stop telling me how much you did to pave the way for them. (I'm talking to you, Cyndi Lauper. You too, Donahue)
Some people can not get over their own sense of self-importance. With that, I'd like to thank you for reading my blog. . .
Oh, and I might start selling T-shirts. Buy some of those, too.
I invented boysenberries.
