master of none

I blame it on the overwhelming capacity at which I suck in information from all corners of the atmosphere.  Or, it could be all of the sugar I consume... whatever the case my lack of focus and scatter-brained tendencies have left me with being really good at a lot of things... but phenomenal at nothing.  Let us back up for a moment to allow me to preface this post:

This is not a self-deprecating moment in which I rant and rave about how the world is against me and everyone should feel sorry for lil 'ole me.  Not even a little bit.  So keep reading...

Being "phenomenal" is clearly relative to an individual's context as to what is good and bad.  Some would argue that my lasagna is "phenomenal" - and it's likely because they haven't tasted anything better.  However, I have tasted better, so I would rate my lasagna as "damn good... but still needs work".  I came to this series of thought because it's the end of the year... and at the end of every year (for the last few years at least) I begin to rethink the focus of my blog.  What I really want to do is be the authority on something... just one thing... but I'm having a hard time on figuring out what I know enough about. 

I would love to write about travel, but I don't do it nearly enough (nor can I afford to) - so my blog posts would be sparse at best.  I love to eat, so I thought about a food blog... but I don't need another reason to indulge myself further in the world of food... if anything, I need to indulge less. 

Herein lies my conclusion... I'm good at a lot of things... so I need to continue to write about just that... alot of things. Every last one of them... until the flame burns out.
