My Love/Hate Relationship with @loswhit

February 2nd, 2011 - Uncategorized - 12 Comments »

Today’s guest post is over at Carlos Whittaker’s blog, ragamuffinsoul.com. Carlos is a recording artist, winner of a People’s Choice Award, and creator of one of the most trafficked sites in all of the Internet-land. He’s also my frienemy.

I couldn’t resist this golden opportunity to let loose some of the pent-up anger I have towards him.

Naturally, I asked my good friend Kevin Keigley if he’d help me write the post, knowing that he had some deep grievances of his own. He quickly obliged.

Here’s how the post begins…

“Some people have all the luck.”

That statement couldn’t be further from the truth. “Some people” don’t have all the luck. One person has all the luck. His name? Carlos Whittaker.

Those of you who know Carlos and follow him on a regular basis are all too aware of this truth. And quite frankly, I’m sick of it. I mean, consider the following:

+ I text while driving, I get a ticket. Carlos produces a video while driving and gets a Peoples Choice Award.

+ I watch The Bachelorette and get ostracized from my family. Carlos watches The Bachelorette and gets asked to appear regularly on CNN as a “pop culture expert”.

Head over to ragamuffinsoul.com to read the rest.

And those of you who know or follow Carlos, add to the list in the comments.

    i totally get the frienemy concept…

    when i was on a summer project and living with 9 other women in a tiny motel room (yup, 5 sets of bunk beds crammed in that sucker), i had an enemmate for a little while. thankfully, we learned all about conflict resolution, so i am happy to report that she is now my dear froommate. we haven't lived together in nearly 7 years, but she will always be called froommate.

    You are my new favorite christian subculture icon, if only because I know you'll probably read this response because you might have time on your hands. That sentence had a lot of "because" in it. Blog on.

    This was very funny. It's almost like Carlos has become the Chuck Norris of the Christian world.

    listen. i dont wanna make that nearly bald head of yours bigger than it already is, but to counter the (hilarious) self-bashing, ill have you know this:
    I started reading Carlos' blog well over a year ago, when somehow or another, a link on his site led me to your blog. Now, I read here everyday and over at Ragamuffin maybe once a week.

    Dont tell los.
