Justin's site and his writing is great. He's definitely a pioneering blogger. It's just that it's so obvious that he impresses himself to no end with his own cleverness. And, I think, careful study of his site reveals that he gets easily threatened by anyone smarter or more clever. He seems like a bit of a snob to boot. All of that combined, is a little alienating. Then again, who the hell am I to judge?

Justin is way ahead of most because he realizes that technology *can* mix with art and fashion in a culturally significant way. And I think he visualizes this idea in a way most can't or won't. Unfortunately, he hasn't been able to develop a thesis from all of this, so he tries to use silly anecdotes about popping zits and penis diseases to fill in the blanks.

I don't mean to pick on Justin. It's just that he's a perfect case in point as to why I don't think most bloggers will become famous. The general public (mostly women) just wouldn't like J-dog.

I suspect though, that Justin just needs a good agent, a good venue, and perhaps some kind of profound life experience that will snap him out of his self-centered views. Irony suggests that the minute Justin stops wanting attention, his dreams of fame might come true.

Currently he's stuck in a rut; addicted to ego-stroking from Japanese people. He'll snap out of it though.
