Not so deep thoughts:
This blog is random. I ask people weird questions, record their answers and react to them. It may not be interesting to you, but I like to know what people are thinking.
For this entry, I started by asking people, "What is your most embarrassing moment?" but after asking seven people in a row who declined to answer (must have been some pretty juicy stuff), I was forced to change my question. After pondering for a few minutes, I landed on, "What's the coolest thing you can do?"
And I came to a conclusion: Everyone is cooler than me.
Sure, I can sing and I have raw sexual magnetism (ha) but I'm not nearly as talented as the people who surround me.
People flipped their eyelids, put their legs behind their heads, and broke out into dance.
Of course there were people who claimed they weren't talented.
"I'm not a man of many talents."
"I can't do anything, leave me alone."
Well. Okay. You got it.
One guy raced motocross. One girl surfs. I had people wiggling their ears and juggling.
One guy could actually do a backflip. Not in a while though, so I was denied when I asked for a demonstration.
People are cool.
The most interesting thing is that you cat tell just by looking at people. Who knew that the guy in the back of my short stories class can do a backflip. It's important to let people show you before you draw conclusions.
Woah. Don't judge a book by its cover.
