You may ask, "Why would you ever want to come across as an arrogant, egocentric pinhead by even hinting that you're even close to perfection? And why begin a quest that is something as unattainable and pretentious as perfection?" Very well formed question, hypothetical person that in reality is myself asking myself a question. Well, the reasons for beginning on such a quest are three fold:
1. As a ploy to sell tee shirts.
2. It is better to try and fail than to never have tried at all.
3. I got a crapload of tee shirts that say "Perfection is the Quest" and I've really got to sell them.
I know what you are thinking, your quest, much like the company Qwest, is nothing but a load of hot gas, or air, depending on which quest you are talking about. "Perfection is the Quest" has a nice ring to it, and it looks great on a tee shirt. My motto last year was "Invested Fully" and those tee shirts sold out in minutes. I even told my boss about my quest and he had some magical coins made up for me to hand out to all of my relatives. I am so excited to ultimately fail!
Some may find my perfection antics a bit haughty and dubious. To you I say, maybe, but I am better than you and so my perfection will come easier. Some may say that my perfection quest makes me a natural target and enemy to those that are not as paradisiacal or ecclesiastical as I. To you I say, you should first aspire to be as good as me, and THEN you can have the perfection quest like I.
Wish me luck, for I am already so close to my goal. The only thing that stands in my way during this quest are: 1. My various bad habits such as grinding my teeth and biting my nails. 2. The fact that achieving perfection is impossible. 3. A nasty group of speedy, nasty Horned Frogs. Darn those Horned Frogs! Darn them to heck!
Nevertheless, you want to buy a tee shirt?
**UPDATE - Some moron reporter wrote an article in the SL Trib today. Gordon something is his name. The most damning quote in the article:
Spin the Quest for Perfection motto any which way you want, but it was a dumb idea. No team should talk about being perfect, not on the field or off it, let alone print it on 50,000 T-shirts screaming: "Kick our a**!"
How did he find out about my quest anyway?! And what does he mean by "team" anyway? It's just me Gordon.

What? I'm totally lost. I have no idea what I just read or what you were talking about in this post. But, if you're selling tee shirts, I guess we'll take 7. You can just guess on our sizes.
Haha. Ask Mike what the "Quest for Perfection" was. It has to do with the team down south.
