I enjoy my life, thank you (How's yours?). As far as my shortcomings go (and there are quite a few), I try to work on bettering myself in many areas. As I already said, I recognize that perfection is impossible. However, I sure as hell don't sit on my arse making the same mistakes over and over while comforting myself that "it could be worse."

Well it's hard to actually know if you do or don't make the same mistakes over and over since your life is not on display for all to see every week. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and agree with you.

My point is not that "it could be worse." My point is that the vast majority of the people I hear the "I demand excellence" argument from are people FAR removed from demanding any sort of excellence in their own lives. Therefore, it's quite deluding on their part to clamor for all this excellence. (Bama fans are even worse; however, they have a pot to piss in at the moment)

Given this is the internet, which is nothing short of a bastion of excellent human beings at the top of their fields, I'm well aware my argument doesn't belong here. And if you truly believe that your life embodies a level of excellence that supercedes the LSU football coaches, the players, the entire program; then you have every right to keep clamoring for more excellence.

Considering LSU's record, you must be one heck of an individual sir.

Thank you for your concern about my life.
