(Disclaimer, I'm not that awesome)

Why must everyone be a specialist in there field? I feel like there is the massive push to be some master of a specified discipline or else your a failure. I really like doing different things and I enjoy being pretty good at most things I do. Not to blow my own horn, but I'm pretty great at just about anything. Photography, Kayaking, Web Design, Electronics, Anatomy & Physiology, Navigation, Sports (pretty much all of them), Driving, Construction, Massage, Horticulture, every Job I've ever had, Cooking, Cleaning, Maths, Science, Music, Teaching, Leading, being a greasy Salesman, the list goes on. I'm adaptable as every human is, I'm a product of evolution, but should I evolve to suck at some things so I can 'focus' on one thing? Do I have undiagnosed ADD?

But where is the place for the Jack of all trades in this over specialized world? Do I continue to push in one direction that I'm not so thrilled with because I want to be "successful"? Or is there another way? If I break it down to what I really enjoy, then all I want to do is lay in the sun, go surfing, self-paced learning and to explore. I should have been an explorer. Maybe that's in my genes as an ex-pat, not a convict Australian, but an adventure seeking Kiwi.

I feel like there is no place for me except as a mediocre player in a game with pros. Pros who ass I could kick I all other fields. I don't want that. I think its why I want the apocalypse to come, I would love rebuild the post-apocalyptic world, sustainable farming, No.8 wire mentality, teaching, exploring, trading etc. I want the queen to give me some ships and men and send me to find the new New World. Is that too much to ask?

I guess everyone has these problems, I'm no one special in nowhere important doing nothing so great. This is a bit of a digression from my regular posts, but I started this as an outlet for the benefit of my sanity, so you get to peek in my brain. Any ideas? This was a bit of an unproductive rant but I feel better. For now.
