I'm pretty stellar at being mediocre.

I like to go skateboarding. I also like to drink beer and smoke cigarettes and take photographs and listen to music and buy shoes and get shit for free and shave my arms and look at my hairless rat and sit on my balcony late at night and watch the coyotes walk by and make a fool out of myself.
