Person/People of the moment: Eb Richardson & Joe Kirkwood

If there is one thing that in my life I vow never to be classified as, it is a follower...


unless I'm following these two. So OF COURSE, when they started blogging up the internet with their thoughts, links, and anecdotes, I naturally had to do so as well. BUT, simply being cool enough to have Steve Isaac follow you, is not enough to be person/people of the moment. Fortunately Joe and Eb have done much more. Allow me to give you some examples of the accomplishments of both of these great people:

Eb:

• proposed to me the first time we met! Audacious? yes. Hilarious? of course. Accepted? ABSOLUTELY!
• Put on a production of the entire original star wars trilogy in 30 minutes. Not only was it a ludicrous success which can be attributed much to Eb's casting, directing, and creativity, but it also brought a diverse bunch of nerds from across the campus of The George Washington University togather. We star wars veterans are now permentantly tied togather by strong bonds of friendship which would have been impossible without Eb.
• Can't drink soda
• Is recently the sole reason for me to have any plans much of the time.
• ROCKS!

Joe:

• Makes me a douchebag weekly.
• Possibly has my entire Ipod within his Ipod. This may sound like an exageration to you, but Joe recognized more songs on my Ipod than most people that I have ever met.
• Provided many of the much needed sound effects for the aforementioned production of Star Wars. This not only included explosions, but also force lightening and musical interludes.
• Is from right near Pittsburgh, one of the few areas of Pennsylvania that doesnt remind me of how it is in my top 1o list of least favorite states in the Union.
• ROCKS!

It is for all of these reasons and more that Eb Richarson and Joe Kirkwood are now the first members of this elite club. These two great American Heroes now pave the way for future people of the moment. Though they may go into the archives as their moment passes, their shoes will be extremely difficult to fill.

God Bless America
