Josh Arieh has awakened from his pastry-induced slumber and given us a great entry today on his blog about watching himself in the Pot Limit Omaha tournament on the ESPN’s World Series of Poker. He reminisces about last year’s outing by wormy Norman Chad as poker’s new King Twat, questions the generous amount of coverage to Chris Ferguson, and then, in what surely must’ve been a Jesus toast-like epiphany, he considers how he comes off on television:

Anyway…. I have come to realize that being an asshole on TV is much more entertaining. Maybe Phil Hellmuth was on to something when he thought of being a baby….. Where do I go from here??? I dont know… I’m not sure what to do… people say that its always easiest and more entertaining to just be yourself…. I think that being myself was extremely boring and dull to watch. Maybe next time I will throw a chair or something or trip and fall when coming back from the bathroom….

That sounds like pay-per-view material to us. What would even be better is if he actually ate the chair. That’d be something. But, anyway, welcome back, Josh. Oh, how we missed your soulful musings and backfat charm. Thoughts of 2005 PLO @ WSOP [Josh Arieh] Previously: Josh Arieh: Earnestness to the Point of Nausea [Oddjack]
