I scrapped most everything from my aforementioned blogs, however, I did save a couple of recent posts as I found them too much fun to let go.....
From June 2009:
So back to today's discovery; I am trolling the web looking for a minor diversion from the day's usual craptastic serendipity when I come across http://tweetingtoohard.com/. It's funny, it's novel and walks a fine line between laugh-out-loud parody and gut wrenching, spot on, social commentary. As I meander down the page of posts, trying to guess which are intentionally funny and which are examples of truly vapid self centered egoists, I stumble across the GREATEST PARADOX since Sorites' little mind bender......
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the Arthur Kade Paradox!!!!!
{cue Rod Sterling}
Picture this, if you will, a man, but not just a man, a God-like, super man of unbearable beauty, wisdom, wealth and charm.
To set the stage here is his latest tweet:
"The whole world is learning who Arthur Kade is now and as my popularity grows, more media sources want to feature me in their publications".@ArthurKadeInc
and this is one of his more modest posts.
Not being one to stand on principles (namely my disdain for most humans), I dig deeper. His twitter page indicates he has a web site...http://arthurkade.com/. I can not resist the need to visit it.
I click,
It loads,
And my eyes set upon a body of work so utterly perplexing to me that upon reading a few pages of this very well developed web page, I stare numbly at my carpet in a form of catatonic shock.
See, here is the paradox...
If this guys is serious and the web page is to be taken seriously, it would make him the most arrogant, self-worshipping assclown to ever roam the face of the earth. An ego of this size would be enough to make Jose Canseco and Donald Trump want to organize an arrogance intervention for this guy. However, if he is this self impressed, than it is logical to assume that he is quite happy, in his sunny little world of auto-idolatry.
Now, logic dictates to that if "Situation X" produces" emotion Y", than "the converse of Situation X" should produce "the converse of Situation Y". (Yes, I see the flaw there but work with me, Ii am trying to make a point)
Therefore , if the character fleshed out on this webpage is NOT serious, than he should NOT be so pleased. However, by not actually believing this one man propaganda machine is real and that the whole thing is a parody, than the creator is a comical genius in the satire/social commentary genre and therefore the vitriol lased responses he is getting from others has to make him very, very happy.
ITS THE FUCKING, MOTHER OF ALL WIN-WINS.
The only one that loses is me!!!! I have no fucking idea whether to laugh at him because he is the biggest douche bag since Adolph Hitler, or I should laugh at him because he is the greatest subversive social commentator since Bill Hicks. The not knowing why I should laugh prevents me from laughing at all. Please share your thoughts, I am lost, I am sad, I am confused.
Please, if anyone is out there, I would ask that you a) let me know what you think, b) what this confusion says about me, and c) let ole' Artie know what you think.

Well, I don't really know what to think of that...If he's not serious, he should be a great actor...LOL
ReplyDeleteThe confusion says you're taking it too seriously...Pick one, laugh and be happy :)
