Self-Proclaimed Worst Blogger

It has been almost a month since my last blog post and I am coming to the realization that I am horrible at blogging, so maybe this will redeem my reputation? That might be too high of hopes.

I went to a Blazer game with my friend Marie a few months back and she told me about this so-called self-proclaimed "Free Throw Guy". Really? There are so many things about that sentence that bother me.

First off, if you have to be self-proclaimed there is something wrong initially. If people don't recognize you for whatever talent or should I say "talent" you possess than maybe you don't deserve any recognition! Secondly, if you are going to be self-proclaimed you should recognize the opportunity you have at your hands. You get to make up whatever name you want! So "Free Throw Guy" is all this dude could come up with? I feel that I can call him a dude by the fact that he #1 is a self-proclaimed fan and #2 is extremely un-creative. Anyway, that just opened a whole can of worms and made me curious to see what other self-proclaimed individuals there are out there...

There are some innocent people like the self-proclaimed "New York Giants Girl"

who appeared on True Life (yes, this is how I waste my Saturdays, but more importantly notice her outfit) and the self-proclaimed "Foodaholic" who uses her obsession as a blogging tool. Then there are the more sinister and psychotic, such as the self-proclaimed "vampire" who apparently went in to a homeless shelter in Seattle with a pipe bomb demanding access to their day room so he could feed. Creeeeepy (that's him below).

Anyway, the point is that we will never cease to have a supply of self-proclaimed this or thats and I think that is something that deep down, we can all be thankful for. Because whether or not we choose to admit it, we can all get a laugh out of them.
