You are Potsie.

I was thinking a lot about the effect of fame on some people after my experience yesterday. A little of it goes a long way to mess you up. Just look at the kids on Jersey Shore. I saw the premiere last night and they have really lost it. If in fact they ever had it. But give someone their five minutes and they think it will never end.

I tell my wife all the time that the two things that people never seem to have is some self-awareness and some humility. Once people get a little notoriety it really goes to their heads. Even when they are just bloggers or even lowly commenter's. People think that other people actually care what they have to say. In reality 99% of the world can't give two shits about what they think. But they scribble furiously on their blogs or in comments in other bigger blogs and think that it all means something. It doesn't.

Even the best bloggers and comenters can go away and most people won't notice after a week or two. People got to get over themselves. I mean everybody is staring in their own movie but to everyone else you are just a bit player. You might think you are John Wayne but in reality you are just Potsie. So have a little humility when you deal with other people. Have a little self-awareness. You are not a big enough deal to get to act like a diva. Get over yourself. Seriously.

You are Potsie.
