FAME (( then fortune ))

So, Frankenstein Friends launched just a mere 4 days ago and I have to say, I’m staying pretty grounded. Before we even announced this masterpiece to the world, we had 4 podcast subscribers and a fellow WordPress blogger (Hey LiteraryMan!) read one of my posts while I was checking for layout errors and said it was “Pretty awesome” – – that may have just been WordPress putting their “Like” of my post into words, but I’m sticking with them saying it was awesome. Needless to say, I’m kind of a hit. I mean – we all knew it would happen eventually. It was a crime for me to keep my keen wit and coveted opinions to myself for so long. I’ve known for awhile now that everyone would like to hear them. Not because I think everyone wants to be just like me and I set the bar for how the world should be perceived, but because I know everyone is curious about what I think of everything. Hey, I wonder how Waj Mahal feels about Kettle Corn…  It’s good when it’s fresh and I consume it in large quantities. It is the only reason to attend a crafts fair. Don’t buy it in microwave form. Scratch that, just don’t buy it if you aren’t outside with a kettle in sight.

All I’m saying is that I’m not jaded.  (( I also hate the term “jaded” – I bet you were wondering if I did. I do love this song though:  I mean, how could I be jaded? This blog is completely non-profit because we aren’t in it for the money. We are in it for the fame. We aren’t opposed to also being in it for the money – that’s just out of our hands at this point. I know celebrity can be a burden (( I keep up with the Kardashians – look at Bruce Jenner’s melted Barbie doll face ))

but, thanks to People Magazine, I also know how they are just like me.

From these pages, I’ve learned that they eat hot dogs just like me. They pull their own rolling luggage just like me. They even drink beverages in order to not dehydrate and die just like me!  I mean, I’m 90% of the way there. Yes, it will be annoying to have cameras flashing at me when I go to the YMCA to slowly walk on the treadmill and watch E!, but I’m a woman of the people so I’m still going to use the Y. I’ve got the celebrity thing down. I just have to do the famous thing. And what better way than through a blog where no one ever sees my face?

So there’s a flaw in my plan. You know who has flaws just like you? Emilio Estevez.

And guess what – he’s famous.

waj mahal.
