Always wanted to say something like that. After all these years, I have finally decided to share my wisdom with the world. Soon I'll join the ranks of Aristotle, Plato, Socrates and the rest of the high and mighty philosophers. And my commentaries will be read in the schools for eons to come. period. Well, a man can dream, cant' he? After all what is life without the impossible, crazy and sometimes larger than life dreams?

At her feet, the world,

It is hope that fuels mankind, it is hope that makes a drowning man catch at a straw.
So enough with philosophy already. You didn't come here to read about some wild rantings of a wannabe philosopher. Now. let me introduce myself. I am an average guy.......err............let me rephrase that, I am a below the average guy. Why you ask? Well, for starters, I am not good at anything.
I am not street smart, I am not good with people, I have the attention span of a flee. I usually develop interest in new stuffs almost every other day, and lose interest just on the following. For instance, I started learning French, was pretty enthusiastic about it, and then just stopped learning it. I used to exercise, did carry on for five months - then lost heart. I think you got the idea.
Why am I like this? Always, getting new ideas, and then just abandoning it on the half way. I don't know, I guess I've always been like this. I am just plain lazy.
Of the seven sins, my greatest downfall will be caused by Pride. Oh boy, I do have pride......maybe strong enough to compete with Lucifer. I know I am a loser, but somehow I always feel superior about the people around me - whether it's intellectually or morally. I just feel like I am a royalty, fallen from grace; and they are just bunch of idiots, passing their life like animals.
This feeling of false superiority has ensured that I have very few friends. People see me as aloof, moody, indifferent and apathetic. Sometimes I really don't feel like interacting with people and just shut myself off from the rest of the world. I hate attending social gatherings, as I usually have to spend a horrible time staring at other people. As luck would have it, I never approach anyone, unless it's really necessary to. People always get surprised to see that I am actually not that bad once they get to know me. But in this busy life, who has that much time to check out what a geeky guy like me really has to offer?
My inability to remain "social" has cost me a lot, and still robbing me off a fortune. I don't usually answer phone calls, let alone return them. So people have stopped calling me. I don't go to social gatherings a lot, so everyone stopped asking , they automatically assume that I would sit this one out.
I don't really hate people. I want, no I crave attention. I want people to look at me, to see me for the 'great' person I am. I always picture myself as witty, humorous and deep thinker. I don't know if I am delusional, but some people do think I really am like that. Specially my online friends, of course, most of them haven't met me in real life. Why I am an entirely different person on the web?
Why can I be at least half the charming in real life? Why do I always come off as a bumbling idiot?
Is it all my fault, that I am a complete mess?
