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.

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?
