Can I be real with you, Blogosphere? Real real? Real real, son? Alright then.
A very wise lady in my life brought a great point to my attention today. Recently, I think all the #MMShowdown business has gotten a lot of people thinking that this is a competition between @missIve and myself to "win" this job. Although she would be a formidable foe, this is just not the case. She simply raised the bar, and made me say to myself "Oh, word?" about the effort I should be showing.
What this ride is really about is proving that I will do crazy things to get this job. Like Britney Spears, hit single "Crazy," things. Don't get me wrong, I'm gonna train twice as hard as before. So expect even MORE cat-based weight training. Only now, think "I would hire Sam" rather than "Sam is better." I enjoy my bed and getting to watch Tiny Toons every morning, so respect to Tent Girl and her struggle.
Furthermore, this epiphany really got me thinking about the Pros and Cons of Moosejaw hiring me as a Madness Maker. I really think I could be awesome at this job, however, I'm not too proud to admit there could be some negative effects. People say "A picture is worth a thousand words." They also say "Don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk." So instead of bullet points, let's make these pictures do the talking:

I'm with you guys on this. I don't want people's heads to burst into flames, but the allure of madness-induced World Peace is just too tempting isn't it? Although I'm not saying World Peace is a realistic dream, I promise to Moosejaw that I'd be ambitious enough to try. Seriously, this is a dream job, and I'd go nuts to get it. Like the always say:
"Shoot for the Moon. Even if you miss, you've fired a warning shot, and the Moon knows not to mess with you anymore."
Wishing you luck on Friday, sir. I'll be following your journey and hope to shake your hand when you arrive.
ReplyDeleteAnd no matter what anyone tells you along the road, don't trade your bike for magic beans. They're very hard to ride.
Love your madness!
