I did it! In your face, everyone else!

December 27 – 2006

You’ve probably heard, but: I was named Time’s Person of the Year. It’s right there. Read it and weep.

What’s that? You think the “you” is for you?

Not from where I’m standing. And it’s called Person of the Year, not People of the Year. So take your ambiguous pronoun application and shove it, because I’m popping bottles of Cris’ and calling all my former teachers. Would Time Magazine make a “chronically lazy misanthrope” their Person of the Year, Mrs. Mackowski? That’s what I thought. Now eat it.

So quickly has the accolade gone to the head, that a simple yet noteworthy change will be made at Soccernista.com: the ditching of the “royal we.” It was a bad habit that ran its course, and it’s done nothing but limit the individual honors and awards I should be getting. Thankfully, Time saw through that.

I will be back on the horse tomorrow, ready to take us into the New Year full force. Can’t wait.
