Peter Pan Syndrome

I’m making my obligatory Michael Jackson post now…

I loved his music, as a great many did. I was saddened by his death. I have defended him over the past few days a multitude of times. I have never believed he molested any children. He was a gentle (and charitable) soul who seemed to want nothing more than to live a childhood he never had. And this, more than anything else about him, is something I relate to. You see, I too, had many childhood traumas/abuses which caused me to grow up too fast. Also, as soon as I could, I was taking on household chores & taking care of my younger sister. And when I was old enough, I had a job on top of that. Too much responsibility for someone so young. When I got out on my own, I just completely went the opposite direction. I partied a lot, did not make it to my college classes on time, and RARELY EVER cleaned my apartment. All I cared about was FUN. People often times wonder about why I don’t care a thing about careers or goals in life…it’s because those things are for GROWN-UPS, and that is something I don’t ever want to be. I do try to balance some responsibility in the mix these days. I do have a job. But it’s mostly to make money so that I can have fun!

So, Michael, I understood you…I never thought of you as a freak. Hell, I’m a little eccentric myself. I never for moment thought you would hurt a child. And if you did, that’s between you and God. (I only wish others would leave it at that!)

I will never “grow-up” and I dare you to make me try!

Elvis Person or Beatles Person?

This is a question I often ask new people in my life. Yes, I stole it from Pulp Fiction’s famous deleted scene. I think it’s more relevant than you’d think. It’s not just a question of preference. It is often an excellent indicator of what type of person you are in general.

Now often I get a knee-jerk reaction of either, “I like them both.” or “I don’t like either.” There is still a way to answer the question. If you like them both, you will most likely have a preference. Say you like both musically, but found early Elvis attractive, then you’d more likely answer him. Or if you don’t like either, (and most likely that means you are trying WAY too hard to be nonconformist) then you still may have a preference between the two. Perhaps you loathe Elvis, but only strongly dislike the Beatles? Both are so culturally-significant, I’ve never run into a person who couldn’t ultimately answer the question.

My husband and I are both Elvis folks. I can’t even explain fully the defining differences in the types (especially without offending people!) I have a few Beatles-people friends, but chances are that we’ll never be close if you’re a Beatles person. It’s not because I don’t like the Beatles. I grew up listening to the Beatles…my mother was a huge fan. I especially love early Beatles. It’s just that it’s a certain personality-type that doesn’t jive with mine. It’s like our core belief-systems are not the same.

So, without delving too deep into the subject, I decided to ask you; Are you an Elvis Person or a Beatles Person?

You might find asking your friends and then noticing the differences in their personalities quite interesting! It is a good, random subject of discussion at any rate!

Inglourious Basterds

I’m excited about this. Are you?

And I don’t even like war movies!

Holy Coincidence, Batman!

Apparently someone discovered that the My Chemical Romance video for Helena matches up pretty eerily with the New Kids on the Block song, “Twisted.” Which means, someone has too much time on their hands, but it’s still neat.

Here it is.

Not Another Golden Girl!

Bea Arthur died.

I just can’t take any more Golden Girls’ deaths!!!!

Filet O’ Fish

My husband has been going around singing the song from the McDonald’s Filet O’ Fish commercial. SO, just in case you’re one of the 5 people who hasn’t seen it, here you go…

It’s pretty funny, but I wish he’d stop singing it.

Gonna Get My Kicks Real Soon!

Geeks Do It Best
