Hi all.
Wednesdays are always like this. I just feel so useless. Like, everyone else is better than me at everything. There's always someone who's funnier, someone who's cleverer, someone who's more interesting, someone who's more obssessed. Apparently I'm 'Gifted and Talented', but these days I just seem to be some mediochre guy - some mediochre bad guy, as Jack Johnson might say - who always has to lose out to someone else. Just when I think I've found something about me that no-one else can do, I have to find someone else who's ten times better at it than me. How does that old expression go? "Jack of all trades, master of none."
I know I'm being really selfish and self-centred and all those bad things I've been taught not to be, but it would be nice to have something going for me. Something that I can think on Wednesday lunchtimes, even when everyone else seems to be so much better than me, "At least no-one else can do this...". 'Cause I used to think, secretly to myself, I was pretty good at stuff. I was a big fish in a little pond. But true to Chris Martin's predictions, along came a bigger one, and now I feel pretty Lost. As I say, I know it's really selfish to want to be better than anyone else, but just something, anything. Even if it's, I dunno, sticking spoons up my nose, I just want to know I'm as "gifted and talented" as I'm supposed to be. I guess it doesn't matter what I say, no-one reads this anyway.
See ya 'round!
Jack

Firstly...I read this. I've read every post, so there. Secondly, why try be the best at something? I mean...Ok there's some acheivement in that, but I think it's far more rewarding to just do the best you can in whatever it is. Thirdly, if you happen to be aiming to be the best footballer on Earth...Ok, sorry Jack, but you might not make that, but come on, how well again did you do in your GCSES again? Plus you are by far one of the best human beings I've ever known, in this world that's probably better than being able to sticking spoons up your nose.....Though that would be kinda cool.
