I was thinking today if there might be a connection between Thom Yorke's infamous lazy eye and the fact he writes such beautiful melancholic music.
If both his eyes had decided to play ball and open properly would he still have been such a musical genius or would he have spent his youth doing handstands on kegs and chasing High School snatch?
Properly not, I would say even with two functioning eyes Thom would never have been a quarterback, but his eyes might have meet with the eyes of a nice looking girl called Meredith across a mosh pit and they could have fallen in love. Then Meredith might have got pregnant and Thom's Dad would sit him on the porch and tell him, without making eye contact, about the importance of being a man and getting a real job and forgetting about all this music melakey and so Thom would get a real job selling fake plastic Christmas trees door to door.
So before you curse your flaws think of Thom's sloth like eye and appreciate that your 'flaws' might be the things that are helping you achieve a higher level of awesomeness.
