Frustration - An Unlikely Inspiration

The name for this blog evolved from 45 vulgarity-laced minutes of searching for "good names" to bestow upon my latest creation.

I descended into madness shortly after discovering that the name, "Why bother," had been taken by someone named Mark who made no entries, but opined, "I just don't understand any of it. It just all seems so pointless." Props to you, Mark, for helping me birth my blog.

For the record, yes, I am crazy, but not any more than the average Joe (or Jane). If you've ever wondered why we are constantly reminded that life is not fair and why so many Walmart shoppers seem to have enormous butts — and have had these thoughts within seconds of each other — you are likely an "average-league crazy" like me. If you're looking to do something different with your life, and haven't been able to because of excuses, obligations, guilty pleasures, or watching every episode of Dancing with the Stars or The Biggest Loser with a bowl of ice cream on your lap, you may be just as crazy as most of America. And as equally frustrated.

Frustration will do good things for most people. When we're pushed to the edge, it often makes us reconsider what we want, what we need, and how the hell we can get it. This blog is a start. Hope you'll keep reading as we journey through the land of thoughtful, insightful procrastination together.
