Welcome to my Pity Party

Today is the day when I feel as if I can do nothing well. I look over the past few weeks and wonder what I have and what I do that is comparatively superior in my life. I don't think I am better at anything compared to the people I know. I just lost three straight raquetball games, a follow up to losing 4 straight on my birthday. After today's lost, I followed it up with a losing one-on-one basketball game. I ponder my other skills and can think of at least one person who is better than me. I am not looking, nor do I want responses telling me I am special or great in...whatever, or blah, blah, blah. I know who and what I am.

I am know to say it is better to know a little about everything, than everything about one thing. The definition of a "renaissance man." Whatever, I don't long to be famous, I don't wish to be on t.v., I am ok with being by myself, but I am not a big fan of second best in everything. Alas, it is a fact of life, one which I will get over (probably by the end of the day). It presents a challenge, and challenges are what I am about...so bring it on.

Well, I've found that I don't loose as much at raquetball when I "play the wall". Try that! Don't worry, you're the best at being my big brother!!!
