10 random things that make me odd....

1.  Just because the radio plays it doesn't mean I'm gonna like it.  Just because my friends love it, doesn't mean I'm gonna love it.  Just because "they" say it's a good thing, doesn't mean I will agree.

 

2.  I can't stand competition television.  That includes sports, but mostly I'm talking about anything on TV that is a cross between a game show and a reality show.  People collective get off on watching people struggle for fame, and we acheive mental orgasm when someone fails.  Hard. 

 

If it were up to me, all competition television would have all of the contestants remain until the final show, and a winner is picked.  Of course, what is the fun in that, since that would give some of the contestants time to get *better*, and it's harder to manipulate who the winner should be. 

 

*ahem* American Idol *ahem*

 

I'm very surprised that more people haven't caught onto the fact that competition television has torn a page from the "Professional Wrestling" Handbook.  Just sayin'.

 

3.  It takes a lot of emotion to make me cry, and it could be any emotion.  However, I don't cry that often, because the level of emotion I would need to feel would have to be considerably high.

 

4.  3D movies are about as appealing to me as the toy at the bottom of a box of cereal.  Maybe when I was younger, there was much more appeal, but as I get older, I see it for what it is.  A gimmick that is supposed to distract you from the fact that the main product is subpar, and with little substance that will remain with you after the movie is over.

 

5.  I can't stand to see someone eating alone, especially old folks.  It breaks my heart.

 

6.  Through no fault of his, it was a rabbi that convinced me to be an athiest.  I'm sure if the rabbi knew this, he would have chosen his words more carefully.

 

7.  I can't picture anything in my head that I haven't seen once already.  If you describe a room to me, and I haven't seen it, no matter how well you described it, I wouldn't be able to picture it in my mind at all. 

 

8.  If I discover that a guy is straight, no matter how attractive I think he is, I lose all interest in him.  This is mostly out of respect, rather than futility.  This doesn't keep me from being playfully flirty if the straight person doesn't mind. 

 

9.  Going bald and getting grey hair isn't bothering me in the least.  Actually, I find it rather funny and I joke about it all the time.  I find it interesting that when I tell people that, they think that I'm only covering up my true feelings.  Truth is, I think it's very silly when people dye their hair and get hair pieces.  Just being honest.  We need to own that shit, rather than cover it up.  Less people laugh at you that way.

 

10.  I'm shy.  I compensate for it by being outlandish and gregarious, but the truth is, I am scared to death when I talk to people on a 1 on 1 basis.  In fact, I sound like an idiot, rambling on and on without rhyme or reason.  Trust me on this one.  I'm shy.
