Hi. My name is Bob, and I’m an average guy.
In school, my grades were fair to middlin’, thanks to a fairly decent effort. I’m pretty good at sports, at least when I’m competing against athletes who aren’t. And I generally consider myself an overachiever — as long as it doesn’t take too much effort.
I’ve found that there is a lot of wackiness in this wonderful world of ours. Sometimes it’s harmless and inane, sometimes dangerous and outright insane. But how do these things apply to the Average Bob? Hopefully, we’re about to find out.

Hi Average Bob,
I like your thinking, for the most part. Sorry, can’t give you money, I can give you suggestions and comments an ideas. So here is one that combines them all: DON’T strive for fame. What you need to strive for is excellence in what you do, hopefully it will also make you money to live on, but fame from my point of view is not a desired or smart thing to long for. With fame you will lose your freedom to do so many simple things, like walking down the street, or going to a public place or going outside without looking your best. I’m not famous and I never wanted to be, but I’ve been around famous people and they are the most imprisoned people on this planet. Think of Elvis, think of Michael Jackson think of the nuisance of paparazzi.
Hi Caroline. Thanks for reading! I actually forgot I wrote that about money and fame.
I have a famous relative and I have seen first-hand the things you speak of. I really am in this for the fun of it. It’s very tongue-in-cheek, and I’m just trying to entertain myself, and if I’m lucky, a few other people.
Thanks for the comment and I hope you come back some time.
