I’m A Hypocrit…and You?
Posted by danleone on August 7th, 2006 filed in bloggingI call myself a runner and yet I can only run 2 miles without wheezing. I call myself a vegetarian though I eat meat. I call myself an atheist though I question the morality of abortion. I call myself a bleeding-heart liberal though I think all politicans are whores by definition. I call myself a rationalist though most decisions are made with my heart. I call myself a writer and am afraid to sit down to write a word. I call myself smart because I know how stupid I am. I call myself a parent though I am usually a child. I hate the overuse of the pronoun “I” in blogs and every sentence in this post begins with it.
Question to anyone reading: Do you live the life you have painted in your head?

No Dan… not even close.

Thanks for this, Dan. Probably the most thought provoking thing I have read all day, maybe all week. And no, try as I might, most days I fall very short of who I really want to be, and who I want to be perceived as. Each day is a new day to begin…
