Day 64 - Fact Checking my Delusions of Grandeur

In addition to the delusions of grandeur from Day 41's entry, I'm pretty sure I was also the first person to notice that Chris Martin from Coldplay continually exploits musicians deaths for his own attention. Tina Turner's death the other day duly followed by the inevitable Coldplay tribute expanding through the Twitter-sphere like an invasive weed reminded me of this. Hypocritically I am now exploiting Chris Martin exploiting death to boost my own ego. Am I as bad as Chris Martin? Well, in short, no.

It has gotten to the point where I'm not entirely sure whether these things are in fact social media trends or merely just discussed so often in my friendship group that it feels as if they are globally accepted. I could check Twitter to confirm my confident assumption that people are indeed aware are of this Chris Martin phenomenon, but delusions of grandeur are less delusional if you start fact-checking.

Not only do I think I invented various nationally or even globally accepted phenomenon's, but I have so much conviction in my creations that I begin to doubt whether there are even phenomenon's at all and instead are merely so great that they seem like they are, and then even if they are, I become slightly uncertain if I did actually come up with them in the first place. Feels like this could be the starting point for a descent into madness.
