So tomorrow is my birthday. And while it doesn't really spawn any great profound thoughts. It made me think of an interview I heard on NPR a couple of weeks ago with Will Ferrell. He talks about about how he and his writing partner usually shape his characters around this guy. The average guy with unearned confidence. And it got me thinking about how its easy to become that guy. To think become so self-absorbed into thinking you're doing something in life that's so important, but the truth is, its pretty lame. To have that arrogance and not have the humility to realize, maybe its not that important. I've become that guy a few times during my life, and I hope that I'm able to keep myself from becoming that guy again.
