Somebody's Bored

Good news, everyone! Kanye West has yet another bone to pick with a random victim, but this time he forgot to use his caps lock key. Evidently Harper's Bazaar misrepresented a piece of artwork in Kanye's home in a feature on his decorating skills in the September 2007 issue. No, seriously. This was almost a year ago.

His delayed reaction via blog post says that the magazine staffers assumed a painting in his dining room depicted Kanye as an angel, but he's totally not like Ben Stiller's self-absorbed character in Dodgeball. First of all, how could anyone accuse Mr. West of being egotistical? Second, the thought of Kanye watching Dodgeball is a sight we would pay to see. Does he actually shut up for the entire 92 minutes or does he just hold up a mirror in front of the screen and admire himself?

The full (and slightly more coherent than usual) rant after the jump.

To put it short as Kanyely possible(don't mean to speak in third person)…. Harper's Bazaar came to my home, took pics, asked a lot of questions and then assumed the painting in my dining room was of me as an angel. This isn't true and it bothered me greatly because people think I'm so so so cocky that I would have something like that. I'm sure it was an inside joke to everyone from the magazine in my home that day. People would come over my house after that and say, " I heard about this pic of you as an angel!" I would have appreciated if Harper's Bazaar would have put in some type of blurb to clear it up. I wanted people to see my home because I spent 2 years gutting it and was proud. I'm just a regular guy with cool stuff in his crib but instead I was made out to be Ben Stiller's character in the movie 'Dodgeball' with the huge pic of him wrestling a bull in his office. Why didn't they write that my house had no pics of me, no plaques or awards, just art.

I guess it's bittersweet, you spend half your life trying to become larger than life and the other half trying to just live a real life again.

    Well … so what is it then? Anybody? I can't tell. Sure looks like Kanye as an angel to me.

    Let's all meet back here in 10 years, when Kanye's dead broke. We'll have a good laugh.
