Things I Used to Never Care About -- But Now Do (Perhaps More Than I Should)  

While assembling my last post on Friday, stuff kept popping into my head that was pretty much the exact opposite of what I was going for. Thankfully I'm not just a pack rat when it comes to High School Musical merchandise, since this tendency I have to horde words is responsible for today's post -- the yin to Friday's yang, the Lady GaGa to Friday's Megan Fox. You know, because Megan Fox is a "definitely," while Lady GaGa is more of a "maybe, so long as I've had a few drinks, the she-male rumors about her are false, and she isn't wearing anything with sharp edges." Anyway, I believe there's a list around here somewhere:
  • The economy (despite actively trying not to care)
  • Best practices for discouraging the growth of moobs
  • Riding every roller coaster in the U.S.
  • Apocalyptic zombie scenarios
  • People who don't wait for you to get out of the elevator before pushing their way in
  • The inherent value of a bad idea
  • That many of my favorite shows (How I Met Your Mother, The Office, Man Vs. Wild) would be even better with swearing
  • Comfortable shoes
  • That The Eagles are somehow only tolerable when Guitar Hero is involved
  • Indian food
  • The number of spiders in my house at any given time
  • Whether or not plants and fish have feelings
  • Escaping the clutches of Corporate America
  • My prostate
  • Jumping into a kiddy pool full of Oreo ice cream
  • How many tattoos is too many
  • Writing "that's what she said" underneath the vaguely sexual toothpaste ads on the bus
  • The sneaky homeless guy in my neighborhood that looks like Wyclef Jean
  • That despite the growing number of accidental deaths in the music industry, Scott Stapp continues breathing
  • If the consequences of punching a teenager would really be that severe

    Never knew you were such a caring individual. Don't forget puppies, pandas, and Taylor Swift's feelings.

    This is kind of a lot of care. I'm impressed. You're actually a Care Bear. But maybe the little Rain Cloud one. I don't trust you to be the Sunshine one.

    Yes, I capitalized those words for no reason. Yes, I like it that way.

    Both of these lists are great. Many of them would appear on my lists as well, except, maybe, the Eagles one and the Wyclef lookalike one.

    Yeah someone else who cares about zombie attacks! However this may help ya, if you happen to be caught in a zombie attack go and stay at a Super Walmart. There's entertainment, food, clothes, & only 2-3 exits that can easily be blocked. =)

    Don Henley Must Die!!! Also, there's no such thing as too many tattoos unless we're talking a number that would force you to tattoo your face or neck simply because there isn't room else where. That may be just enough.

    You can give this a go. I found out that the ghetto I just moved from was safer than the 'burbs I now live at. Who knew?

    And don't believe that bit about being safe in a Wal-Mart; Wal-Mart only employs zombies. As soon as the lights go out, you're screwed. Go with a Super Target; the people are more likely to stand in line and be polite.

    Everything is definitely better with swearing. Check out the Irish blogs; they use "cunt" the way we use "bitch," which always makes for grand entertainment once you've picked up that habit and then forget you're talking to a fellow American, or your mother. Good times.

    Funny, I find it hard to give a fuck about anything lately. Either I've come to terms with my life, or my Valiums have kicked in. Either way, coolness.

    Fuck yeah those shows would rock! But I think the ice cream would get into crevices best left alone....

    Great list. I hate you for pointing out many of the things I didn't worry about UNTIL NOW. That spider one still gets to me after a professor told me years ago that we are all never more than 6 feet from a spider at any given time in our lives. That still freaks me out.

    Man, your life is deep. LOL@Jules. Irony gets me everytime.

    I used to worry about spiders. Now I realize that I am infinitely less worried about spiders than whatever it is they're feasting on in my house. ;)

    Oooh, let me know when you swing through Ohio. We're right between Kings Island and Cedar Point - two must stops on any coaster tour.

    This is so funny. I like your idea behind this as well as Friday's ying yang post to this topic. Great one!

    I had forgotten about this one. Had to dig it out of my Bookmarks. Lots of comments, but worth reading, as some are highly splortable.

    Holy crap! You are so right, he does look like Wyclef.

    How Scott Stapp hasn't been murdered is beyond me. 311 needs to find his ass again.
