I’ve been hav­ing a hard time pin­ning down exactly why today’s been a bad day.

It was an all around ok day, I found out that I qual­ify for unem­ploy­ment (and should start receiv­ing my ben­e­fits in a cou­ple weeks) and I do like the rain, though I sup­pose in a lot of ways I still feel trapped.

I think now that I believe (in part) that highly intel­li­gent peo­ple do in fact have a harder time in life, but I still don’t believe myself to be among those few highly intel­li­gent people.

I hon­estly believe that I’m sim­ply not talented.

I’m reminded (as always) of some­thing said by a truly intel­li­gent per­son, zefrank, in his episode of “the show” from Decem­ber 19, 2006:
