A Circular Route Reminds Me Of A Point

Clusterflock has a very simple post with a modest two words linking out: Dear Jesus. Following that link takes you to the personal blog of Matt, called “you are the only person not reading this blog“. Matt likes to incorporate letters to Jesus in his blog. It turns out that Matt saw clusterflock writing their own ‘Dear Jesus’ and he’s not happy about it. He links back to clusterflock to make sure we see it. This creates a wonderful circle. Was that clear? Doesn’t matter.

We’ve reached the origin, which is the original clusterflock post:

At the beginning of every season of The Wire when I hear the new version of the theme song I think how odd it sounds and how I will never forget the old one. Then I do. Please forgive me.

My wife and I are currently nearing the end of season four of The Wire (in case I never get around to giving it its own entry let me quickly just state that it is one of the best shows ever in the whole world throughout history and stuff). The single flaw that stands out to both of us in an otherwise flawless series is the theme song. For those of you who don’t know (and I don’t feel this is spoiler territory here), each season of The Wire uses as its theme a different cover of “Way Down in the Hole” by Tom Waits. The season four version hasn’t been horrible. The first couple really were just awful. I do like the montage of clips that sort of filter through that season (foreshadowing and reminding), but the whole thing just lasts too long. Or at least it seems to last too long because of the song playing over top.

In conclusion, I thought the clusterflock “Dear Jesus” was funny.
