Who is Crazy Now?

In this week’s edition of Who is Crazy Now? I bring you WordPress, Dara Torres and MJ.  So, without further ado, Who is Crazy Now?…

WordPress - There is nothing like biting the hand that feeds you, so I figured what better way to be potentially banned than by biting really hard and calling WordPress crazy.  Let me explain, I use the term “crazy” very loosely.  Sometimes, it does not mean crazy at all – it could also mean dysfunctional or, even, way cool.  The reason WordPress makes this weeks list is because of it’s “Go to a random blog” feature – that white arrow in the upper right hand corner (go look at it, I’ll wait).  Okay, now that you’ve appeased your curiousity… let me tell you… wait for it… keep waiting… it’s not random.  Try it.  Seriously.  If you click that little arrow about twenty times, I can practically guarantee you that you’ll land the same blog(s) twice.  You will find at least one repeat, if not more.  That is not random.  And, therefore, WordPress is crazy.

Dara Torres – The 41 year old is crazy good.  She’s 41 years old and she’s going to the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, representing the United States in two events – the 50 and 100 meter freestyle.  Furthermore, she may race in a relay, but get this.  The 41 year old may pass on racing a relay.  Yes, pass, as in “no thanks.”  The fact that she’s 41 years old and has that choice is sheer CRAZY!  The woman is even racing faster than she ever has, setting an American record at the US Olympic Trials in the 50 meter freestyle.  The latest word is that Dara Torres may forego the 100 meter freestyle in order to focus on the 50 meter freestyle as well as relay races.  Whatever happens, Dara Torres, and the situation surrounding her, is crazy.

MJ – Who is MJ you say?  MJ is also knowa as Margeaux or, you could say, Marqeaux is also known as MJ.  She’s a blogger, but not just a blogger.  She is a blogger that will go to any ends to achieve her goal – acquiring more hits than any other blogger in human, or non-human existence.  Recently, she has reduced herself to bribery and coersion in order to increase her blog traffic.  That’s crazy, but the crazier thing is that it’s working.  I’m befuddled.  Anyway, her attempts at bribery and coersion can be seen here.

41 Year Old Dara Torres Faster Than the Field

You gotta love the Dara Torres story.  Obviously, it will eventually become a movie.  This fact is without question, although it may take about 30 years.

At the age of 41, she is swimming faster than she has ever swam.  The reason – the swimsuit!  The other reason – she’s 41 and, therefore, the underdog.  People cheer for her.  People root for her.  You know what that means?  That means people like MJ want her to win.  So, she does.  Because MJ’s boyfriend is a cop.

All kidding aside, the reason Dara Torres won the 50 and 100 meter freestyle at the 2008 US Olympic Trials can be summed up in one word – energy.  The type of energy found here.  I found that blog yesterday when randomly blog surfing.

Speaking of random blog surfing, while riding the waves (about ten of them) I happened upon the same blog twice.  Sounds like excessive energy to me.  Not that there’s anything wrong with that.  Although there surely can be.  I think some Presidents have too much energy, unfortunately, but this is a tangent and I digress.
