Over the years some people have come to believe I am "smart". They're mistaken, I have a really good memory and I have a knack for remembering details that are not important. This is why I do pretty well in trivia games. But think about it... the very name trivia indicates something is trivial (i.e. of little importance).
Having a good memory is not equal to intelligence. I will whoop just about anybody in trivia games, but I couldn't pass a higher level mathematics or science course to save my life. You be the judge. Smart person or just good at remembering minutiae?
Disregard the photo. I don't feel like a street bum. I'm just not as smart as people think I am.
