Doomed For Mediocrity

Insecure Acheivement

I can't sing, I can't dance

At music I simply don't stand a chance

I can't draw, nor can I make a work of art

I hardly ever finish what I start

Excellence is not found in sport for me

My name in lights I will never see

I'm your average joe who cannot act

With no known passion, and that's a fact

Nothing to die for, but everything for which to live

Plenty of soul, but not enough time to give

Lord, what is your purpose for me?

I feel I'm doomed to mediocrity

Not outstanding, no meaningful goals

Living day to day as I grow old

There's got to be a purpose for me

I cannot be doomed to mediocrity

Lord, what is your plan for me?

I know I'm not for mediocrity.

What's In A Name?

Good morning,

How are you all after a good time at One80 last night? I know that I had a great time, that's for sure. But enough dilly dally, chit-chat, small talk and/or beating around the bush, I would like to talk about names.

It's fun to name things; I have named many, many objects. There is Ashley (my bass guitar), Micah (my amplifier), Ichabod (my electric guitar), Sherman (my bike) and other things here and there. But now I want to name my left and right hands. Well, actually, I'm giving you all the opportunity to name them. Comment on what you think would be a good name for either or both of my hands, and I will choose my favourite two names at 4.30pm on the afternoon of the next tribal warfare (2 weeks time). Amaze me kids! I know you can!

For now, onwards with the post. As most of you should hopefully know, my full name is Sean James Mason Taylor. My father and his father also have two middle names, both of which the second middle name is also Mason. In fact, I have the same initials as my grandfather: he is Sydney John Mason Taylor (SJMT). My dad is just Paul William Mason Taylor. Anyway, the point of this is that despite this "almost-now-tradition" of Taylor boys having Mason in their name, my son (if I do have one) probably won't.

I have however written a small list once of names that I'd give to my son(s). I have lost that list, so I'll do my best to remember. Names include but are not limited to;

• Koji
• Anton
• Jonno / Jono
• Reuben / Ruben
• Seth
• Scott
• Mark / Markus / Marcus
• Jet
• Lucas

Names for my daughters are a little less numerous, but still highly thought upon;

• Naomi
• Ruth
• Leonie

And there you have it: a partial, incomplete list of names I'd give to my children. What would you call your children? What's a little known fact about your name? What are you going to name my left and right hands?

Tell me all!

Sean

RANDOM FACT: I am the only person in my extended family who can carry on the Taylor last name (the traditional way) - no male cousins with the last name Taylor!!! Isn't my family in for a bit of a worry then, having to rely on me!
