Chris Bliss has done something very beautiful.
Why must people feel the need to put him down? Is it because they feel inferior or jealous because he got all these great jobs and attention? Everyone is an individual and should not worry about what somebody else does. It does not take away from their talent. Classy or cultured people do not put others down in print or on the air.

i feel the same inner exasperation with almost everything popular, which chris bliss is an excellent example. where the people who get the most attention have sometimes the least talent, or hard-work put into whatever it was that made them famous but the american public eats them up nevertheless because its cheap entertainment. the sad fact for most of us (if we care about attention and fame and legacy etc) is that no matter how talented and hard-working (whether you are a waiter or a dishwasher or a drummer or a painter etc) only a small few will ever witness and appreciate your contribution. its easy to get frustrated when a person like Chris Bliss gets so much attention from THE PEOPLE and (if you are a juggler) you know that there are so many people that ARE SO MUCH BETTER, how could this happen!?!! But um, Britney Spears, anyone? All I’m saying is its not Mr. Bliss’ fault that he got shoved in the face of every juggler (and non-juggler) on the planet (and the non-jugglers ATE IT UP).
