My major flaw...

I know what you are thinking...but, yep I have flaws! ;-) Ok...so perhaps you were thinking a little more honestly and know exactly what the flaws are I'm referring to. But, for the fortunate few who don't know me as well, here is my HUMONGOUSLY large flaw... My wife actually put it into words for me tonight in a conversation in my cool office. (It's messy now but that's not my fault) The story kind of went like this:

Me: Is it prideful that I think I could coach better than my oldest sons soccer coach? (This is a blog post waiting to happen...I'll get to it later)

Her: Well, Honey, it's like this. You are what the Such and Such author's refer to as a visionary.

Ok, that sounds like a compliment, doesn't it. I'm not done with her quote yet...

Her: A visionary, according to such and such, is a person that has good ideas and loves to get them started...then, putters out and hope someone else takes over.

OUCH!

Me: Examples please?

Her: (I'll paraphrase this) A bajillion things named off here....

Me: Seriously.

Her: ..grin..

Ok...so we talk a bit more to delve to the heart of the issue and this is what my biggest flaw is described as by my wife:

Her: (paraphrased) "You have the tendency to hear a problem or be in a situation or observe something and think that you can do it better or fix it better or whatever better."

Me: ..blank stare..

Wasn't that a fun conversation to be on the receiving end of? As we talked more and I thought about it more, I would have to agree that it is my biggest flaw and she's right. I do it at work, kids soccer, home, church, when something is on TV....whenever there is something that pops up...Here's my latest rant:

HORSES - everyone is trying to come up with a new way to save gas. I say, get rid of cars. Take what we know now about kinetic energy and rig up something for these powerful animals to harness their power and transfer it to locomotion. An example, a treadmill type apparatus that has a transfer case with gears. So, the faster you'd want to go you'd incline the treadmill that the horses are on, and they wouldn't have to walk faster, just use more power and transfer that with gearing to move faster. Use what we know with light plastics, batteries, etc to come up with a new fangled carriage that protects the horses from the elements and seats passengers in a totally separate compartment and is very lightweight. You could even have air conditioning, shock absorbers, windows, stereos.

It would be awesome. (This is copyrighted by ME!! Don't even think about stealing it!)

I imagine that most folks reading this already knew my most major flaw. The cool part is that it's true...I do have better ideas! LOL....
