i'm willing to bet that every single person in the world is fascinating. the reason we think most people are boring is because they don't embrace their awesome.
it may sound a bit vain, but i think i'm a beautifully complicated human being. for a long time i thought i was a math-science kid. now, i'm japanese degree toting thespian. i dream of having my own tiny restaurant where no wall separates the customers from the kitchen. i enjoy plain lattes (no flavoring or sugar). i like walking home from work—all 6 miles of it. i'm a chameleon, adapting to whatever situation and locale i'm in. i secretly enjoy my own farts. i believe in love, but rarely allow myself to be that vulnerable. sometimes i worry that my ass is too big, and at other times i worry that it's slowly disappearing. i fear, but have not yet experienced, hair loss. pastrami is my drug. i put a lot of stock in dreams, and sometimes read too much into them.
i'm weird, and that's awesome. next time you're about to write someone off, you should ask, "what's your awesome?" push them long enough, and they'll spit it out.
find their fascinating. embrace your awesome.
in other news, i'm working on a stage adaptation of a christmas carol.

It's Kendal speaking, but I couldn't bloody figure out how to make my name appear without this dinky website crapping its pants. This was a capital post, Ben. Well done. :)
Recently having discovered your blog (as in as long as it took me to read the posts before this one) I am happy to have found it. This post is great, really well put. -Cousin Kelsey
@Kelsey - thanks! it's good to hear from you (we haven't seen each other in 15 or so years, right?).
