Is there a mid-point between channel surfing, and watching a show? I think I'm doing that right now. Watching just enough to know what's going on, and changing the channel before I make a firm decision that the people I'm watching are idiots.

do you ever just hope you're special? That maybe there is something extraordinary about you that not even you know about. Maybe one day, in the middle of your daily routine it will happen. Maybe you will sit down at a piano, and play Rachmaninov, or maybe you will find yourself weaving through numbers and equations like never before. I've racked my brain trying to find some prodigy in me, and I'm exhausted. I have nothing left to do, but hope that one night I'll hear a strange noise outside my window, venture in the dead of night to see what it is, and while staring up at the stars, be hit by Zeus/Jesus/Ronald Hubbard with a bolt of talent.

Until that happens, I will continue to watch scientific shows on the Discovery channel and relay the information to other people, leading them to believe I, myself am that intelligent.
