Everyone has their guilty pleasures. What you read is not nearly as important as having the ability to read. I own all of the Sex in the City DVD's too, but I also watch CNN on a daily basis. I've read Grapes of Wrath, but I happen to prefer US Weekly. And shoes or politics? Uh, flashy red pumps please? It’s all about finding balance. Everyone has their guilty pleasures.

I went to this artsy-fartsy video store in the neighborhood looking for entertainment. What I really wanted was a loud, bright movie with lots of exploding stuff and thin, stilted dialogue - nothing requiring too much thought. I ended up renting Monty Python (an acceptable comedic interlude) and Under Siege 2 (clearly not a hot rental with the artsy-fartsy crowd). I scurried out of the store with Stephen Segal tucked discreetly under my arm. About 2/3 of the way through US2, the video (yes, this was the era of the VHS) broke. Of course, I had to know what happened. I returned to the video store and skulked up the counter. "This tape broke," I said quietly. The clerk took it from me and offered to credit my account. "Um, I kind of have to know what happened." Thus, I stood there while he called overhead for someone to "come splice Under Siege 2". I stood there while he re-checked it out to me (in front of a growing line of superior cinema fans) and said "Under Siege 2 is due on Sunday". Then I went home and finally found out how Stephen Segal saved the world yet again. I felt a whole lot less cultured after the whole experience, but I sure did enjoy it. And to this day, when I hear a certain Aaron Copeland song, I still proudly identify it as the theme from US2. During my 3rd year of med school, I came down with the flu.

Yes some of us read classics but when traveling in a car I tend to put the book down cuz the scenery passing by at 75 mph is more amusing than Lord of the Fly’s (that’s what I am rereading now) But at work I can finish a 300+ page book in two days (yes I got down time and im a slacker) What these people are missing is the ability to let go, to see that the cardboard box is the catalyst of pure sprit, that with out having dangerous fun, life becomes full of people who listen to NPR waiting to hear for the murder and other crap so they can preach someone else’s opinions! Some one who has some interest in politics because they are more worried about hot it affects what they do in daily life (raised taxes means more expensive shoes) is much more interesting than someone who calls them selves part of a political party who cant think for them selves! I would rather worry my self with why im going to get arrested when I get hit by a car on my bike due to riding a fixed gear, than why oil prices are going up because of a president that the country voted in due to the wool being pulled over there eyes! If I where a betting man, (which im not, cant stand loosing my money and not getting something shiny and new in return) I would think people like the moose for who she is and how well she writes! smart people are boring dump people are annoying mildly intelligent people who are somewhat self aware end up having the most fun because they don’t care!

smart people are boring
dump people are annoying
mildly intelligent people who are somewhat self aware end up having the most fun because they don’t care!
