Why I Wanna Be Mediocre
So I guess I have no talent for scouting models because all of my picks this year on ANTM have been booted off already. I am disappointed with myself!
Wait, hold up! Let's talk about the real problem here. And it's not me! The judges on ANTM have lost their collective mind this year.
Last night Lisa (the misunderstood eccentric) was booted off the show. The mere fact that she was in the bottom two was a shocker. She has been doing so well through out the whole process. Ok, I’ll admit she is a bit of a train wreck – but bottom line she took great pictures.
The part that takes the cake is what the judges said to her. To paraphrase: Should we go with the girl who gives us great photos (Lisa) but is obnoxiously eager to win this competition or the girl who gives us mediocre photos (Jayla) and is kind of blah about this whole process? And believe it or not mediocre won. Proving that good gals never win.
I am going to apply this newfound knowledge to my own life. I've wondered why I have not been able to land a good job...It is because I am smart, skilled and talented. From now on, I am going to strive to be more mediocre.

"From now on, I am going to strive to be more mediocre."
Amen, bro. A-frickin'-men.
But remember, you probably can't choose to be mediocre on your own, because "Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them." One bright spot: if you do achieve the mediocrity you seek, hopefully it will come at the right time, because "It is cruel to discover one's mediocrity only when it is too late."
It was great discussing Christams Eve recipes, the lifestyles of rich Southern white folks, and other insignificant but very enjoyable topics with you tonight. I hope you can come to the Chorus' Holiday Concert at Carnegie this year. I can get all the details, if you'd like...
BTW, do you know who the authors of both of the above quotes are? I don't think Lisa from ANTM would know, but I'll bet Jayla would...!
... so I post a comment here, but I don't get a "blue underlined" link to my e-mail address like the other commentators on here do. What gives...?
If there is an answer (or you have a humorous comment to add, Pablo), you you can send it to me at: aja10024@aol.com
