Here I am

Ask me why I am starting this blog and I could not give you a justifiably respectable answer. What I can tell you about this moment right now is that I am sitting at home on my couch listening to Morphine and thinking about how cool it would be to be able to play two saxophones at one time. But then again, I wonder if Dana Colley (the sax player for morphine) ever got sick of only being "that guy who can play two saxophones at one time" and never "just that guy". When someone has a defining skill or quality, they become that one trait. This may just be me being envious of people with talent, but I really do think being a mediocre human being is more enjoyable than being elite. Because I am average (or less than that) in everything I do, I can be "that girl who wants a pet puffer fish" and "that girl who loves making jello" and "that quirky girl with the green bracelet" all in the same day. People can see me for everything I am, not just what I am best at. So, Dana Colley, I feel for you. I wish I could see you for all the other things you do other than play two saxes at once. Do you cook? Can you juggle? Are you really into 1950's 3D comic books? I wish I knew. So here I am, world. Here I am, sitting on my couch thinking about saxophones and all that I am. Here are where my toes are.
