A random thought from the village idiot of Las Vegas..

I was chatting with a friend of mine in Las Vegas about my blog, and he asked me this. "Why do you  refer to yourself as the village idiot? Don't you think your being to self-deprecating about yourself." I told him this, "The moniker go's back a long way with me. When I refer to myself as the village idiot? It's not that I think I'm dumb, it's just the way I view myself. I see being a village idiot as someone who is willing to take a chance on things. You know? Believe in things that most people don't. Does that clarify things with you?" My friend looked at me and said. "Don't you think sacrificial lamb might be a better term for you?" My answer? "I'm going to stick with being the village idiot. You never know how that will end up? We all know how the sacrificial lamb story ends."
