I nearly titled it “The greener grass”. Then I thought, no it’s not really true; I’ve been dreaming for that.
What am I referring to? I’m referring to Chuck, the modern day fantasy-adventure for all geeks. In my internship presentation yesterday, I had listed my aspirations to be a national hero, and I wasn’t joking. I’ve always hated being a cog, a wheel in the whole system: The normal guy with a normal job, with a normal uninteresting life. I mean, there’s so much time to be normal, when one is like in his 60s and happily retired.
I guess the fact that I always knew Chuck would come out on top for all the danger situations he was in obscures much, while the fact that he gets to work with, and eventually get romantically involved with a very hot, intelligent and nice girl also makes things look much better. Having said that, I’m still not content with a life of mediocrity.
