What is it about guys and them having to prove to the people who probably aren't thinking about them at all that they are the most badass whatevers in the room? Last night Will stayed up all night long playing World of Warcraft because he couldn't let those "high school losers" think that they were more dedicated to the game than he is. I'm pretty sure those "high school losers" don't spend a lot of time contemplating Will's Warcraft dedication, but Will had to prove that he was just as dedicated to levelling his character as they were...even though they weren't comparing themselves to him. Or probably thinking about him at all.
I am having a hard time not pitying a 27 year old man who feels like he has to prove his betterness to people ten years younger than he is.
I, on the other hand, slept in until noon. Oops. I woke up full of motivation to get a ton of work done today. I took a shower and got dressed and was practically itching to get to work. Then? I sat down at the computer and...um....well, I've surfed some blogs, caught up on the Cheezburger site and chased the cat around the house a little. Why is it that I only feel motivated when I am not faced with my work? What is that about?
