I can fight mountains to the dust for the impossible. I can do anything for the big, mad dream against all odds. I can barely get out of bed for mediocrity. I would rather be surrounded by people determined to see me dead than by those content with doing being and pursuing nothing…in part because I would be less likely to be destroyed by it.
That is the biggest reason I couldn’t stay home. Not that the admired status quot and devout mediocrity was unbearable, but because I was afraid it would become so. A part of me always believed I might win the fight if they found out how unacceptable I was, but a bigger part was terrified that I would change to not need to. I can endure anything, I think, except apathy.
While short, this is one of the more illuminating posts from Andy I've seen, along with his creepy "Begit" thing with the list of his marks and how best to fuck their heads.
So there you go. Andy can't "get out of bed for mediocrity", which is probably why he's never been able to support himself or keep a job for any significant length of time. I guess it's much more exciting to pretend to be on the run from the IRA than work at Starbucks.
Andy explains why he's too special to live a normal life
