I try to be efficient, which often leads to me believing that I can fit a task or tasks into a certain time period. I get the tasks done, but I'm late for the next thing.Rollerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16904666850142252780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778556107185533687.post-35980317208926248792009-11-30T17:56:28.991-05:002009-11-30T17:56:28.991-05:00I am not even close to Coov on this one I generall...I am not even close to Coov on this one I generally think I am much better at things than I really am. I would be shocked if I was in the top 70% at anything while I generally think I am in the top 90% at everything.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07521671890432602133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778556107185533687.post-38638261263112097672009-11-27T15:08:23.692-05:002009-11-27T15:08:23.692-05:00Ryan, thanks for the compliments- as you said in y...Ryan, thanks for the compliments- as you said in your post, are you drunk? Just kidding.<br />I don't think that it is fair to compare myself against everyone else with regards to running. Sure, I bet I can beat more than 80% of infants and quadrapalegics out there but it doesn't seem keeping in the spirit of the question. Thus, I am comparing myself to those who run for fitness.<br />Now, that is just for the running issue. Other aspects, like the "looks" category includes everyone because we all have them. Some of us are just more gifted than others. You don't know how humbling it is to have a name like "Doughboy" in high school and still only be the second most attractive Doughboy in your school. Damn that Jimmy D and his good looks.Doughboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12317695925021886906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778556107185533687.post-71005181519623708902009-11-25T11:59:28.688-05:002009-11-25T11:59:28.688-05:00Doughboy, hilarious post. You have literally hit ...Doughboy, hilarious post. You have literally hit the ground running as this is only your second post and I laughed several times.<br /><br />I would also probably ask how you classify your running ability? Is it only against other runners or is it against everyone else? If it's everyone else, I'd say you're probably 99%.<br /><br />But this is also an interesting post. I tend to be somewhere in between Coovo and Doughboy. I'm sure I over estimate some of my talents and I know I underestimate many as well, since I am often shocked by anything resembling a compliment. "Really? Well, thanks. Are you drunk?"<br /><br />I also remember that fateful night in Soulard with Johnny in the backseat, after we already had locked the keys in the car. What's the statute of limitations on open container for an underage passenger?<br /><br />"20 bucks I'll who up in court and say it wasn't your fault."<br /><br />"No thanks."<br /><br />"Shiiiii, man, you boys MUST be from the county."<br /><br />Never saw that guy or that white van again.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17256070703334899567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778556107185533687.post-25168522252792993702009-11-25T11:06:52.161-05:002009-11-25T11:06:52.161-05:00Coov,

I thought you were trying to get away from illusory superiority (I can't believed I spelled it right without looking)?<br /><br />Without ranking my scores, I believe I posses whatever the opposite of illusory superiority. I always think that people are better than me at everything. Like just the other day when the space shuttle took off, I was like, "Man, I bet everyone on there is a better astronaut than me." I felt like crap for the rest of the day.Coovohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00515173149807926852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778556107185533687.post-87875999618585784412009-11-25T08:56:26.348-05:002009-11-25T08:56:26.348-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
