SUBLIMELY RIDICULOUS

Insights on Today's World

A Blog

Justin Abinanti

My name is Justin Abinanti and I am nonspeaking. I am most certainly verbal though. Many of my fellow nonspeakers are highly academic, but not me. I think I must have been born under a silly star. I’m eager to make it in comedy. I’ve given it thought and I am a born stand-up. Unfortunately the world is not quite ready for a stand-up comedian who cannot speak. Not being able to speak might hold some people back, but I am basically professionally resilient. Maybe I’ll never take over hosting the Tonight Show or starring at Caroline’s Comedy Club, but there are other ways to shine.

Thus my blog which gives me, a speller, a venue to comment on the idiocy, silliness, weirdness and hilarity of our world.

My New Career

I always am protective of Judy. After all, I believe I am getting to be her favorite. All of her students get this: often she gets herself hurt. I have felt this pain from her before. As people often suck, I am constantly aware of how Judy often leaves herself open to such issues. Always defending her is my job. Absolutely self-appointed.

I am changing my career goal from playboy to white knight. Almost all my feelings about careers are negative, but white knight appeals. I can imagine myself in a suit of gleaming white armor rescuing damsels in distress. Let me say that Judy is not a damsel in distress…but I get to cheer up, so that counts.

I have to go now ‘cause I have a few monsters to slay. Giddyup, steed!
….as I ride off into the sunset.

My Blog

A good Hallmark Moment to share: I love to spell now thanks to Judy. I did not care about it for years. I had an attitude problem in that it seemed too much like hard work. I had a hard time getting myself motivated to struggle through it. But certainly my blog gave me a reason to try harder. I am loving this opportunity to have my voice heard. I am happy that so many others have followed suit. (It’s awkward to brag perhaps, but mine was first!)

It changed my life. I don’t know why exactly, but it made me inspired to put effort into spelling. And giving credit where it is due, it was Judy’s suggestion. For years she had tried to motivate me, unsuccessfully. But now I cannot wait to come here to write.

I cannot say I ever will be the consummate student. But I am lucky that I found something to love and that I have the chance to do it.

I Am a Lazy Person

I am feeling so lazy today. To be honest, that’s not unusual. Galling to my Mom, I know, but it’s part of my charming personality. Galling too to Judy who is industriousness personified. I always let someone in my life boss me into doing things that I really don’t feel like doing. I gave it thought: again, here I sit in Judy’s office writing a post that I don’t feel like writing. And if I don’t, Mom will be seriously pissed.

After I finish this protest post, one I am loath to write, I will admittedly feel a sense of accomplishment. But the next time I’m sitting here, I’ll have forgotten all about it and be lazy all over again. That’s the thing about lazy people: that sense of accomplishment is not natural to us. My natural inclination is to not care about doing things.

My mother doesn’t get the laziness. She thinks the fact that I don’t want to stay home every day means I’m not lazy. I want to go out because I want to be lazy without her watching. I also don’t want her to see me eating more than is good for me.

So to sum up, I now have accomplished something. Happy Mom?
