Tim Karan of Alternative Press: What's up, HBO?

What's up, HBO?

I knew that my blog was rising in popularity when the guy at the bagel place recognized me and gave me a free drink. (It was actually because he thought I was someone named Seth, but I'm gonna count it.)

But I never thought my entire life and my very soul would be ripped from me and bastardized by HBO.

Please compare:



Here's what the official website for The Life & Times Of Tim--if that is its real name--says:

Who is Tim?
Tim is a young guy who always tries to do the right thing, but for some reason the world conspires against him. In many episodes, he's trying to better himself, but the harder he tries, the worse things become. Everybody makes mistakes, but for Tim--a self-conscious young guy living in New York--just getting out of bed in the morning could be the worst decision he makes all day.

I'm not sure what's more troubling about this.
The fact that HBO has obviously been secretly monitoring me for months to get my exact look, wardrobe and mannerisms down.
The fact that HBO has stolen everything that ever made me interesting, thus depriving me of mandatory blog fodder.
The fact that I'm apparently a young man going nowhere.
(Joke's on them. If you've been reading my blog, you know I'm not young at all.)

Just watch:




What the hell?
That JUST happened to me.
Now I know how Homer Simpson felt when he stumbled across the Mr. Sparkle Detergent.


This is ALMOST as traumatic as when I discovered that another guy named Tim Karan had stolen the website domain that should rightfully be mine.

Well.
I'm depressed now.
Next you're gonna tell me that somebody stole the working title of my autobiography.

Aw, crap.
This guy again.

The OTHER Tim Karan ran AND kept a seat on the Creedmoor city council and HBO plagiarized your life. What would you rather have?

HBO FTW.

so I just got home from the Dryden where I saw The Animation Show 4(www.animationshow.com). Totally awesome sauce...and the best film BY FAR was "Angry Unpaid Hooker."

Guess who it starred? TIM.

And yes, they totally nailed you.

You will love it.
