My lovely friend Paula said that I was being too hard on Aleksey Vayner, the man with a thousand costumes and a million olympic records - and the funniest video resume on the planet (please see previous post first!).
So I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and google him - a young man who is so self-absorbed must have a website of his own.
And he does: www.alekseyvayner.com . When i tried to check it out, it was down, though. Too bad.
So I was back to google and found his MySpace page! Hurray! Some vintage Vayner material!
So this is his profile photo, to the right.
Hmmm. Give him so more benefit of the doubt, I thought.
Here is what he has to say about himself, according to his online profile:
"About me:
Who I'd like to meet:
I've already met the Dali Llamma, Harrison Ford, Sarah M. Gellar (I call her pookie) and the spirit of ancient warriors. "
Oooooooooooooooooooooookay.
I can live with the 'I met the Dalai Lama (did he say Dali Llamma?) and him teaching tennis to the stars. (Pffffwhahahahahaha! (that was a laughter I tried to contain but failed miserably).
Now what the heck is it about him being the 'second best martial arts fighter in the world'?
I wonder who is the first, then! Bruce Lee? Oh wait, Lee's dead! So Aleksey is number one now!!!!
The cherry on the cake, however, is his 11 page CV. Aleksey, thank you. You made me laugh so hard you actually made my day.
If you think he was funny, only 1 contact: Call him! or E-mail him!

Im actually flattered that u listened to my little comment :p. Strangely, this connects to our previous conversation (on the blog) regarding kind vs unkind criticism. Im all for kind criticism in all circumstances. Which does not imply that I agree or find a spec of truth in what people are saying, but if I have to say something I will say it in a "veeery nice" manner.
I really dont give a care for this guy, yet Im not going to trash him... I disagree with your hardness, but I am not going to disapprove of it either. It still makes me laugh (in a good way)!
And by the way, this is Paula (still too lazy too create a new account)
Well i did guess that was you, dear :)
I have nothing against the chap either. I think he's funny, more than anything else. Well, sure, he's pretentious and a pathological liar BUT he's fun to make fun of...
I know. I'm evil and I make fun of people... Aaaaaaaahh....
:)
I'm not good at the 'very nice' manner, I'm afraid. You're going to have to teach me that someday...
Oh well. Happy Halloween :)
LOL. I can't believe I had not heard about this guy till you brought him to my attention. I still can't believe he's for real.
P.S. M, I'd hate to have you in the enemy camp :) you cynical critic you.
