mediocrity

yes.. and the topic of dicussion today is...

MEDIOCRITY.

isn't that a scary word?

unfortunately, despite me wanting to be someone GREAT! TALENTED... or what not...

at best, i am mediocre. What is Mediocre?

adj 1: moderate to inferior in quality; "they improved the quality from mediocre to above average"; "he would make a poor spy" [syn: poor, second-rate] 2: of no exceptional quality or ability; "a novel of average merit"; "only a fair performance of the sonata"; "in fair health"; "the caliber of the students has gone from mediocre to above average"; "the performance was middling at best" [syn: average, fair, middling] 3: poor to middling in quality; "there have been good and mediocre and bad artists"

Naturally, I have plans to drag the other 90% of the world down with me in this entry. wahahha.. cuz that is what most people are. MEDIOCRE! 5% are geniuses, and the other 5% are morons.

I am in the majority... and that is scarier than anything else. It means I am normal.

Who wants to admit that they're normal? Everyone wants to be a superstar. Or, unique... as Crow Nth is. But, then you realise, there is no such thing as unique. You're replaceable. Nobody will miss you when you're gone. Because, this is how the world works.

Bah....

I don't want to be normal. I refuse to be mediocre. But frankly, it is so much easier. Life at the top is lonely. If you're the top or bottom 5%, it means, there's a lot less people there with you. What about friends? Yeah... I know, I am entering the realm of "self comfort" here.

I am happy, much as I resent being mediocre. Whatever... ridiculous entry, this is...

and I AM UNDER THE AVERAGE/ABOVE AVERAGE category, not the inferior, below average portion. I insist, it's my blog. I win. :)
