You Wish? REALLY NOW

First off, my last post was about FINALLY getting my new saxophone about 30 days after my birthday. I suppose in that sense it is a Malaysian saxophone. I love it though, and after playing it for a few days I feel like it sounds better on some notes in addition to looking cool.

Anyway, I reckon I get some envy for being "... so friggin' smart" (DK). I saw this poll a few months back that listed some traits that people wished they had. Athleticism, intelligence, charm, among others. I chose athleticism. I remember, though, that something like 52% chose intelligence. So the grass is always greener on the other side. 

SOME PEOPLE, I feel, don't have anything they want to like. (The ultimate irony being, I suppose, that I actually bought into that Amadeus theme of 'We're all mediocre'.) That being said, I think I'll put it out there that there are a lot of things in other people I wish I embodied. Danial's ease of nature, Kaitlyn's athleticism, Afzal's charm, Damien's musical ability. Something worth addressing. 

The point is, there is no point in getting all depressed in yourself for lacking these things. There's too many of them. So don't.

Thanks for thinking before you open your mouth next time and saying, "God damnit I wish I was as good at math as you without studying." Because, god damnit, so do I.
