  Platinum's No Big Deal Anymore

I'm going on a big tour this summer, because of the success of my platinum-selling album, Continuum. Yeah, Continuum went platinum. Feh.

It's like when you go bowling, and there are league bowlers playing in the lane next to you. You get excited when you hit a strike! Maybe you jump up and down, or shout "boo yeah," or something obnoxious like that. Meanwhile, the regulars hit strikes all the time, and they're really blase about it. "Oh, a strike. Great. Hey, can we get more cheese fries?"

You see, I'm like the league bowler of the recording industry. This is my third album that's gone platinum, and that's because I'm brilliant. Ain't much more to it than that. You love my music, you have to own my music -- game over.

I guess I could be happy to have such a rapid fan base, and to have accomplished something few musicians ever do. But I'm not. I'm just okay about it. I expect to win at this point, because I'm a natural winner. So, did I say game over already? I did? Okay, well, I'll say it again.

GAME OVER.
*SIGH*

Hahahaha....So that's why you named your record "Heavier things". You planned it all the time, didn't you?
What kind of golden abstract object are the two in front? You didn't bake the Grammies did you?

Tone, Norway.

PS! Bowlers got ugly shoes on! :)
 
I hope that this was meant to be sarcastic because otherwise you may come off as being arrogant. I'm just saying. Sheesh!
