The OK Mission Statement

 The Swedish have a word that is abscent in English, "lagom." "Lagom" means "just right," "not too much." It's a wonderful concept. The Swedes don't try too hard, show off, or collect too much wealth or excess. They just get by on being good enough.

 The closest approximation I see in English is "OK." I Like "OK." I think we could use some more "OK" in general. I named my blog "OK" because I like the concept so much.

 Everything is OK. We all like to use hyperbole, to declare things the best or worst ever, to gush and rant, but frankly most things are just OK. Most Dreamworks cartoonss aren't horrible and Ramones are good mostly for nosalgic and sentimental reasons. There are one or two good movies every year, a few more bad, but most of them just amuse and take up a couple hours out of our day.

 With that in mind, it's my intention to shift the content of this blog to make it more "OK." This will be the champion of the average, a center for all things pretty good. It'll be like My Life Is Average, except all the content is generated by me and the things will actually be average.

 OK?

 OK.
