Mini Project # 3: Kristofer Dorsey

I kept the log of my “fame talk” from May 19th to the 21st. I talked about famous people or teams quite frequently during these days. It didn’t surprise me that much of how much I spoke about the topic of fame. The reason why it didn’t surprise me was because of the simple fact that I emerge myself in to this world. As an artist/rapper, I read rumors and news articles about artists every day. Also being a movie buff, I’m on IMDB.com (Internet Movie DataBase.com) daily catching up on my random movie trivia. Spill.com to watch hilarious reviews about movies that are our and Darkhorizons.com for information about upcoming movies and television shows. My fall in to the hole of the entertainment world does not stop there. I’m also a huge NBA and Phoenix Suns fan. I stop by the Suns official website and also AOL’s NBA Fanhouse blog to keep up with the NBA. My conversations during this weekend basically came from these sources and guided my conversations in the most crafted way.
I started the weekend off talking to my cousin about one of the biggest disappointments of the year: the elimination of the Phoenix Suns from the playoffs. The conversation was almost an hour long just on that. We talked about how the Suns could’ve easily won Game One if Steve Nash didn’t get a bloody nose by getting head butted by Tony Parker and the “Magic Johnson” rule which kept him from returning. Also, talked about how we could’ve won Game Five if Robert Horry’s horrible technical foul on Steve Nash didn’t get fellow Suns teammates Boris Diaw and Amare Stoudamire ejected from that game because they took a few steps off the bench. We later spoke on how the playoffs are going to not be as exciting as they could be, especially if the San Antonio Spurs and Detroit Pistons meet up in the Finals. Talk about boring.
The next thing I talked about the most was movies. It was the weekend and my friends wanted to know what movies were out at the time. Shrek the Third had come out, but I heard from friends and also the funny reviewers at Spill.com that it wasn’t that great of a movie. The movie I heard that had the best reviews that was out, that I haven’t seen, was 28 Weeks Later. We decided to go see that and it was a great movie. During the movie, I leaned over to my friend and gave her random information about the movie or something about the actors that were in the movie.
All in all, this is what I expected from myself. I see myself as a connoisseur of the world of entertainment. For the last few years, I’ve been the go-to-guy when it came to these mediums. After I started doing reviews about movies, I was the movie guy. Once I started my career in the music industry, I was the go-to-guy for that. I always been a basketball fan, but the older I got, the more sophisticated I got about the subject matter. I feel I have an obligation to my friends and family for this information and I will stay emerged in it.
