Going from Ronaldo to Ke$ha

Four AM is a great time for self reflection.

The above statement has literally nothing to do with this post except that what transpired did so at around 4 AM. Dehydrated from early evening drinking I awoke in the early morning and of course found sanctuary in the endlessly comforting embrace of the internet. The internet is to boredom what alcohol is to sobriety: its unstoppable solution.

With a trip to South Africa fast approaching (and a bank account quickly dwindling) I logged onto youtube to watch some soccer videos...a habit I've once had compared to porn addiction. It's been years since then though and my futbol compilation fetish has long since waned. Anyways, I went from from one cristiano ronaldo highlight reel to another until I fell upon one with Katy Perry as background music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ju1F2W-O8fg&feature=related). I immediately thought of Russell Brand, her fiance and the english lothario from Forgetting Sarah Marshall whos autobiography I'd just finished reading. Quickly I found myself typing in his name and watching a stand up performance in New York (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4mXZ2FSlUo). After speaking about his experience in hosting the MTV Music Awards and some of the scenes with Britney I quickly then looked up these as I apparently missed all news of these MTV Music Awards...mainly on account of me not realizing MTV had anything to fuckin do with music. So there I am and in my room is me, Russell Brand, Britney Spears, and an elephant (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgeUXLVcI6E). Of course I couldn't stop there and quickly followed this with the following http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Yldq2pQwTI&feature=related. After this enterainment I was of course compelled to revisit my short but passionate love affair with Britney's song, Circus. I'll spare you the link on this occassion, but as I sat, now at 5am listening to this song I thought of my other recent infatuation, that of the new pop sensation, seemingly debaucherous, ironic dollar sign in name Ke$ha. And so that's how I found myself here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGp6xC5MXic

The internet is like a box of chocolates, you never quite know what your'e gonna get.
