Real World

Even though my first heroes were bus drivers
My first dream was to become a professional athlete.
And I would have been, and I could have been,
If my body had every developed beyond the larval stage.
But it didn't, of course, and so here I am
Doin what I'm doin because
Doin what I'm doin doesn't require a lot of
Physical or intellectual capabilities.
You just get up here and you do it,
And you hope you get away with it...

-Marques Bovre, "Real World"

That's why I'm not a professional athlete.

Ah. I had been wondering.
