1) The Reason I Chose to Talk About My Extra Ordinary Life

    I am an average Joe (or should I say, Jeff?). Literally, if you were to name any activity, skill, or hobby, I would be decent at it. I wouldn’t be amazing, but I also wouldn’t be as horrific as the image of Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger trying to perform a duet for a ballet recital. Now, that's not saying I'm self-conscious about myself. I don't worry about my looks for the sake of others. I didn't play basketball, learn to cook, or learn to play the guitar to impress all my friends. Even if they're ladies *wink wink*.  Just the opposite. I'm confident enough to admit that, yes, I am an average human being. I am going to be me, and I am average, decent, and extra ordinary!

What is it like being so extra ordinary? Well, I'm so good at being average that if I had to choose one skill that I ACTUALLY excel at, I would say I am extremely skilled at being average. It comes naturally to me. It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3, a, b, c, sleeping, eating, blinking, breathing, and any other “-ing” you can think of.

For my blog, I will be expounding upon my extra ordinary life. I’ll be writing about different activities, encounters, and events that show how average and human I am. The topics of each post could include things like the sports I played, awkward encounters with people, hobbies, the times I excelled, the times I failed, etc. The posts will be about a myriad of topics all showcasing my extraordinary talent of being average.

To be completely honest, there were several skills and activities where I pushed myself to my limits. I practiced all the time, usually sacrificing free time, schoolwork, and sleep. I tried to break that barrier of just being average. I worked my butt off! And do you want to know what happened? Not much! Though, upon looking back I do see one change that happened during those times. I became more consistent. I became consistent at being decent and average. Like I somewhat already mentioned, I’m not ashamed that I was and still am an average guy. I was never the star of a team, I was never the most popular guy in town, but I was consistent. That’s something I can be proud of. Ultimately, the reason I chose this topic is because I am proud of being extra ordinary.



And because there is actually enough stuff to write about concerning this topic...
