I’m sorry what I said back there. I
hope you don’t get your big brain going on that and think that I am, existentially
unhappy, because that is not the case. I think it is a matter of perspective.
Kinda like the old Michelob commercials, some days are better than others. And
back there, when I said that stuff, I was not happy but if you back the lens
out, say more existentially, of course I am happy…and grateful. Very
appreciative of what I have. Maybe just that my lack of achievements get in the
way some days. Like back there when I said that stuff I was thinking about my
achievements, in comparison to others and let’s be honest, I come up short. Now
please don’t get your big brain going on how this relates to you. You are not a
loser like me just by association. Well again, loser is not in an existential
sense, just in comparison to everyone we know. I mean sure we could take into
account people that are more of a loser than me, like prisoners and terrorists
but I think we both think we want to stay within the bounds of sensible and
realistic. But again, being honest and thinking about the things others have
done, it’s like I’m a trailer park in a neighborhood of mcmansions. Just sorta
depressing…today…it’s getting to me today but I am again, very appreciative of
everything I have, especially you. I don’t deserve you, especially after what I
said back there, when I was having my opposite of a Michelob day. But that’s
over with. I am done feeling sorry for myself because I am a loser. It’s like
when Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear were afraid of everyone knowing that were
conjoined twins and Eva Mendez said “don’t deny, embrace.” Well I am here now
in front of you a new man, a man who is very appreciative of all the things he
has, aware of all the things that matter in his life, even if he is a loser who
has accomplished little to nothing in the big scheme of things.
A little light stuff, a little substance. A little of this, a little of that. Don't over think it. I know you won't.
