Joshy a.k.a. “JewDo Chop”

Before I get angry e-mails from blog4reel members. Stop and let me explain. My friend Josh, who is Jewish, came up with the brilliant Wii Moniker you see in the title – not I. (If you don't know what a wii is please check out blog4reel q&a's. jk.. you'd have better luck with Wikipedia.) Interestingly enough, Josh's Wii bears a striking resemblance to the real thing… with the hat and the glasses and the beard too.

Anyway, I was reading Joshy’s blog when I realized I hadn’t explained my inspiration for blog4reel… that it was Josh’s blog… this blog that I started reading religiously – checking in like a soap opera – that ultimately led to blog4reel, which I feel really grateful to him for. And thank god now, with blog4reel, I’m too damnably busy to compulsively check in to see if he’s updated yet. But it’d been a while since I’ve read it so I checked it out this evening and laughed my butt off reading about his travails at Starbucks, because nobody, nobody but Josh can have travails like that at Starbucks. I love it. He’s brilliant and funny and sometimes, although I can turn on the waterworks pretty easily, he makes me tear up, because he reminds me of the beauty of being a human and that is such a precious gift to offer. I think his writings rival, if not surpass (not that I’m challenging anyone, of course), David Sedaris and Augusten Burroughs (two of my favorites, I swear)!

Anyway, just thought I’d mention that… cause I thought you should know in case you wanted to check out his blog, which you most definitely should if you haven’t – I’m so happy he’s one of our BLOGSTARS. It’s called…”Almost Worth the Price of Admission.” Please just don’t give him a big head. He really does wear lots of hats. Thank you. :)
