Signed, Definitely Not Me

You are fifteen minutes away from your fifteen minutes of fame. Your knack at self-promotion is an asset more valuable than any amount of money you've ever made. You are poor. Everyone knows your face. You make valiant stands against important things! Your words have weight that cannot be calculated. You get it.

Today, you will rally around someone you barely know, for a cause you were barely close to. You will make it publicly known that you love (LOVE) someone who barely qualifies as an acquaintance. The world will have to feel truly blessed to be near you, but you know that people will still doubt your motivations, even though you know how sincere you are. You believe every word that you speak or write.

You are the owner of wondrous things. You admire your collection. Your collection is more than a series of material goods, but a shrine to your values. You add to it in a number of ways. Your collection is an extension of your being. It shows the world your value as someone who cares. This is not just the logical extension of consumer culture, but you filling a niche that just needed to be scratched. You are keeping it alive and 'it' is important. Maybe someone will make a documentary about you. If only your fifteen minutes would just get here.

You will keep the flame burning.
