BRAGGING
ABOUT RUNNING
WILL speaks with SARAH in a workplace lunchroom.
WILL
Hey, I went running, for like 2 miles.
SARAH
Why do you tell me how far you went running? Why should I
care?
WILL
Good questions. I guess I'm insecure about my exercise habits
and if I talk about what I've done I feel like I'll keep doing them.
I know YOU exercise and on some level I think I'm competitive
with you and trying to beat you by talking about my running.
Also, I think if I brag about what I've done, I'll do more in
the future.
I'm filled with insecurity that my accomplishments don't
exist unless I brag.
Also I envision myself in the future as a perfect version of
myself, and this is the beginning of me becoming that. Run 2 miles today, 5
miles tomorrow, perfect physical condition in one year. I'll introduce a
self-education program to sharpen my mind to a perfect intellectual state.
Spiritually, I'll apprentice with a Tibetan monk and find deep, true inner
peace. In the end I'll be a demigod of human perfection, walking through this
world a sinewy muscular mass of intelligent soulful awesomeness. I will achieve
an inner power great enough to devour whole worlds.
I WILL DEVOUR WORLDS.
WILL bits into his tuna sandwich.

Oh!
