Now, I could blame this existence on the government, or the Taliban, or anyone else other than myself, but that wouldn't be fair. I can thank nobody but myself. Good going dumb ass. But just how did I get here...again?
The road to mediocrity is actually well traveled. I'm never alone. A quick look around and I see a lot of familiar faces; but that's a blog for another day, we're talking about me and my journey today. The road itself is very wide and can accommodate a huge volume of people everyday. Kind of like the road to Hell. It's easy to get onto and once you're there, it's really hard to change direction...because you like being on it.
Well, I'm sick of it. I used to be so good at setting goals and living life to the fullest but now I feel like I just get up in the morning and go through the motions. There has been no joy in Mudville for quite sometime. Mighty Casey is at bat and he could use some encouragement from the fans.
I remember reading this quote that went something like this..."There is a funny thing about life, if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it..." I'm not sure who wrote it or if I even quoted it correctly, but as of today, I'm adopting it as my mantra. For the next 30 days, I'm going to dedicate myself to "...refusing anything but the best in my life." That means no more mediocrity. It should be fun to see how my life changes in the next 30 days. Provided the Rapture doesn't occur this Saturday, I hope you'll join me in my journey and throw some encouragement my way. For the next 30 days Planet Kirby will be dedicated to eradicating mediocrity from its pages. Hold on tight...this should be fun.
Be Well.
Bill
