Taking A Break From Being Clever

John Mayer whom up until this point is a musical artist that I had a lot of respect for recently made some really off color comments about black women to Playboy magazine. Mayer eventually apologized publicly in Nashville of all places for his comments. He said that he needs to take a break from trying to be clever. Obviously Mayer was trying to be funny and he wasn't. Here is a perfect example of what happens when somebody attempts to be someone that they are not. If you have to put that much effort into being funny, or to win peoples attention you are eventually going to say something really stupid and look like an idiot. So the lesson of this story is be yourself, because when you are not........you are going to look like the idiot, and people are going to start at you in bewilderment!
