what am i doing?
anyone else ever sit and wonder what the hell they are doing. the job or career they've chosen? whether or not anyone else has cottoned on to the fact that they don't have the faintest idea what they're doing?!? i sometimes feel like i have absolutely no idea what i'm doing. i just kinda go blank staring at the screen thinking "?".
it's funny. i grew up looking at the world of adults, resolute with the thought that everything was in it's right place. everyone experts in their chosen field. the advice given by professionals was correct, i mean they're the professionals right? now i'm a so-called adult (and i'm willing to fight that one in court. the damn birthdate seems right but i'm sure i haven't actually aged past 15. a young 15) and i think, "hell i'm an adult now. i'm doing a job. i'm living life sorta but i have less of a clue than i used to!" i've come to realise that the world runs on the 'best guess' scenario. everyone kind of knows what they're doing or at the very least can bullshit with enough of the right words to get by in their particular field or place in the world. it's all a confidence game. if you seem like you have a clue then i'll pretend i do also. so on and so on. i often wonder if anyone out there is actually an expert at all? there's plenty of a-holes who would call themselves one but that doesn't make it so, or does it?
man, it's a nasty pandora's box that one. start unravelling reality to check what's behind the facade and all you'll see is a monkey playing cymbols between it's knees (funnily enough doing a fare version of Mungo Jerry's 'In the Summertime").
