I am an under-average athlete but
I can create sentences out of words that reach people and make them
think and I hardly break a sweat doing it. There are a
lot of things I'm not good at. I could spend my life trying to be
better at them. I'd probably end up a little better than mediocre. I'll
never be able to reverse driving directions in my head. I'll never be
able to make it to work 52 weeks in a row without getting lost a few
times. I have a strong feeling world peace is out of my control. There
are so many things I will never do. There are so many things I will
never be able to do. Who cares? It doesn't bother me that I'm not the
best at whatever it is others expect me to be perfect at. It doesn't
bother me that others can do things I have to but my butt trying to pull
together. I do what I do and they do what they do, It is what it is and
that's all that is will ever be.
This is what I want to
do. I want to put words down that people get. That resonate. That make
people think twice or three times or four times or five. I want to
reach people with words that develop their thoughts. I want to make
people laugh. It's hard to make people laugh on paper. Physical comedy
is easy for me. Translating that humor and those experiences into the
written word is my struggle.So while all of you are out
there perfecting your craft, I will be here perfecting mine. All
without breaking a sweat or using a blueprint or any input from anyone
trying to perfect their view though my gift.
