Wendi: Bawk?

Kelly: Alan Cummings is my hero.

James: No, James. I already had this written and you confirmed what I thought. But you will be making a dashing appearance tomorrow.

Brett: He lives in Robert Frost’s historical dwelling, dude. Strange but true.

Steph: Until then, yes. You just have to hope that your secret identity is not, in fact, incompetent.

It takes more for me than someone successful being suckier than I (think I am) to make me grow confidence, but that does help, for sure. It really is about confidence even over competence most times. Unless someone gets wise to the incompetence I suppose.

You tell me where marketing lives, and I’ll kick his ass. Not that I know anything about marketing, but I’m bigger than he is, and I can kick his ass. Then he’ll listen to you and do your bidding.

I love that you posted it. Can I shamelessly whore myself and say that I hope our conversation was part (most) of the inspiration?

Of course, this is where you say, “No, James. I already had this written and you just confirmed what I thought.”

Tei,

I was okay until the subscribe line. Then I dissolved into laughter.

Yes. Stupidity is self-consciousness. Get over that, and the stupidity melts away. Proof: Alan Cummings. Chris Kattan. Cameron Diaz.

Regards,

Kelly

I’ve done more stupid things in my life than a person would ever want to admit out loud. Some times now, my mantra is just “I’ve already been more stupid than this, what’s the worse that can happen now?” And the answer is nothing. Stupid and failure are words that mean you had the guts to try. Inaction is chicken. You are NOT a chicken.
