Crazier things have happened I guess
It's been a while since I've had anything to blog about. I guess you can say I took a hiatus of all things Armenian. However, I've decided to be a better Diasporan and better Armenian and attend some Armenian events. I've consulted ArmenianCalendar.com (that's a shameless plug if I've ever seen one) and bookmarked a few events that look interesting such as the upcoming scenes and places from William Saroyan's life wine and cheese event at the Abril bookstore, the Akhtamar Dance Ensemble's "yelout", a talk on Armenia's current political situation at the Glendale Library, a Casino night at the Ararat home and I bought my ticket to the ANC-PN Harout barantes, so the Fall is looking promising.
Recently I traveled. It has come to my attention over the years, that every time I travel something epic happens in the world. Princess Diana died I was in San Francisco, 9/11 occurred while I was in Italy, My uncle passed away while I was in DC, The Tsunami hit while I was in London en route to Armenia... I can go on and on, but I think you get the point. Most recently I was in Costa Rica and while I was there the world's stock markets crashed to record lows and a friend's ex-roommate passed away. I thought that was it.... but something else happened too. Something that apparently had the Armenian community all hot and bothered.
Let's call it YouTube part 1, part 2 and part 3 shall we? I received an email containing these videos and watched the first one. I was stunned. What? When? How? Why? Where have I been? (Answer: Costa Rica) Why had I heard nothing about this? (Answer: I live 45 minutes away from hubs of Armenian "kaghout"). Needless to say I found the entire saga fascinating and intriguing. I really don't care what it was about or what happened and don't really have an opinion on the matter but I do wish someone would answer these 2 questions for me.
1- Why three parts? Why not just one video? Was there a reason behind the 3?
2- What's up with the whole referring to himself in third person thing?
Anyone???? Anyone?????

Haha... cause when your video is around 9 minutes, it's FREE to post!
I knew there was a method to the madness. Thanks Shooosh!
One down, one to go... anyone care to chime in and explain the excessive use of reference to himself in the third person?
