but can they blog?

Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,   
but that we are powerful beyond measure.          
It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.

We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,  
gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?     
Actually, who are you not to be?           

You are a child of God.                          
Your playing small does not serve the world.

…but I’ve never been more grateful for it, after seeing what homeschooling can do to a child. Allow me to introduce Exhibit A.

I’m surprised this kid can even spell CNN, let alone win the national bee. He talks like Forrest Gump, although is likely much much smarter. Life might be like a box of chocolates, but we all know what this kid isn’t gonna get: laid.

It is quite possible that this kid has some form of autism, in which case I applaud his efforts. And I will continue to applaud them as I burn in hell. I’m not sure if it is Asperger’s or some other part of the spectrum that affects social interaction, but something is probably off. I should really be making fun of the interviewer, who can’t read along as a word is spelled. Because as I learned in junior high, a good way to make yourself feel big is to put other people down.

I’m probably going to delete this post.

Oh, and whoever changed my Chopstork name from “Christine” to “hobag,” I encourage you to enjoy your nuts while you still have them.
