Sometimes the comments make the story



Name: Jon Block (image from Street)

Who: This guy that Street decided to do a nice fluffy piece about. He's a "Street" person, you know, a local artist, a local person with some local talent who lives locally and likes it. Block calls himself a writer. Oh, let me have Jon explain it to you, ""I came up as a screenwriter but have published children's stories, magazine articles and essays. Mostly, I write personal stories not unlike David Sedaris, which probably means I'm too open and too self-involved. But my real guiding passion is to empower the San Diego film industry."

Why it matters: It doesn't really. He likes Muse and Tegan & Sara and doesn't listen to American Idol Finalists (whatevs! Jordin doesn't need you any way! She's got a hit single that somehow compares love to being all on her heart like a TATTOO!). He also likes to visit his own website (http://www.jonblockparty.com/ in case you were wondering) and another website that he's also affiliated with (www.myspace.com/mindfillent). That particular website is going to change the world somehow, or wait "so many lives."

Why we love him: Because he's Jon Block and apparently that's enough (check the comments, it's enough).

Hate him or love him Jon Block is the Street person this week, so deal.

Some people can't deal.


Like David Peters: Can you really not find anyone who has actually accomplished anything in San Diego or are you just interested in publishing the mumblings of a young good looking person who has a way too high opinion of himself. If one more of these people mentions that they write in the coffee house Lestat I will cancel my subscription.


And Chad. Well, Chad can deal with Jon Block but not with David Peters.
David,
What is truly ironic about your post is that you first begin by elevating yourself above those who choose to comment on pieces like this... then you comment. Your next move is to point out that stuff like this is fluff. Indeed it is, it's fluff, it's filler, and ultimately it is pointless. Or is it? Perhaps you are missing the whole point, and then missing why you come out as a huge jerk in the process.


And Jackie can deal with Jon Block and David Peters but not with Chad.
Chad, chill... you come off even worse as the original poster... I've never seen anyone take a single point and convolute it in such a way that they make themselves look as dumb as you... nice job.


But Wade Varney, he just likes him some Jon (screw those other guys making comment after comment).
Jon Block is an interesting charismatic guy who's life is in the making. He has a college education and has written magazine articles, at least 12 screenplays, acted in some short films and at 27 years old that is an accomplishment.


Soooo, to wrap up. David Peters hates him some Jon Block. Chad hates him some David Peters. Jackie hates her some Chad and Wade Varney just loves him some Jon Block.


Full circle my friends, full circle.
