My kind of town

The Smoldering Ruins of Centralia

Don't pass the link above off as another random post about some new instance or zone in WoW. This is actually a true account of a city that litteraly had to be abandoned as it burned from the ground up. Well, something like that my summarization skills are not the most attuned at 9am.

Today is a terrible day to be working. For the first time in six months Chicago may be looking at a 70 degree day. Believe me I have already asked around for the availability of golf clubs. The warm weather reminds me that we are approaching the beggining of April. Everytime I think about how quickly the days,weeks, months are passing I get a sick feeling in my stomach. I had always enjoyed the idea of not being a spectator and always starring in the role of the lead in the movie titled "the Life of Brandon. " but I firmly believe the more involved you are the quicker time passes and the less opportunity you have to enjoy things. Yet, while some will stop and smell the roses I always thought that it would be cooler to be the guy that planted them. This rambling paragraph actually leads me to todays topic.

Being average

When you do a self review in life or at work, you list your categories assign your criteria and designate a scoring method. The typical response to a category tends to fall within the high to above average category. Bottom line: everyone typically will rate themselves above average, which in fact makes them average, and due to their averageness they have no easily acceptable method of criticing themselves as by rating themselves as average they admit to not having a complete mastery of the topic therefore the criteria established for themselves to score themselves in a defined category is limited. Run on sentences are a patented trademark of this blog.

Another mark on the board for Tyler Durden.

At this point the only method I can see that could be effective in combatting averageness is simply role modelling. As a youth my role models were drug addicted rockstars, well mission accomplished now can I please get those years back. Actually keep em I don't want them. Moving forward I believe that the secret to improving or making adjustments to your life revolves around the adaptation of the methods used by those who are succesful in that field.

Unfortunately this means that should I want to start working out regularly, I should befriend some meat head gym rat. Great I can just hear the conversations now.

B: Whats up man?

Roided Freak: Not much just doing reverse leg pulldown lat squats! Whats up with you?

B: Oh not much.....Hey remember that time you got so hopped up on roids that you had sex with the change dispenser on the Gatorade machine? Good times man good times.
