Seriously:

**EXCLUSIVE** 7:38 PM ET… IT’S YOU! YOU were named TIME magazine ‘Person of the Year’ Saturday for the explosive growth and influence of user-generated Internet content such as ‘blogs’, video-file sharing site YouTube and social network MySpace… You — YES, YOU — beat out candidates including Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, China’s President Hu Jintao, North Korean leader Kim Jong-il and Speaker-elect Nancy Pelosi… YOU, YOU, YOU…

I did generate quite a bit of blog content this year…

I’ll be adding TIME’s Person of the Year to my resume first thing Monday morning. For an autographed cover, please use the Contact page to send me your name and mailing address, and use the Pay Pal donate button to send $6.50 to cover the cost of a magazine, shipping, and packaging.

I’m honored. Although, my Nancy Pelosi as POY prediction was wrong.

TIME asks:

Who are these people? Seriously, who actually sits down after a long day at work and says, I’m not going to watch Lost tonight. I’m going to turn on my computer and make a movie starring my pet iguana? I’m going to mash up 50 Cent’s vocals with Queen’s instrumentals? I’m going to blog about my state of mind or the state of the nation or the steak-frites at the new bistro down the street? Who has that time and that energy and that passion?

Well, I guess that would be me. Frankly, though, I was bored to tears by Lost after about the third episode.
