I am a believer in making lists… not
the kind of list that will get you ‘on’ a list (e.g., list of most explosive
fertilizers, or list of Yemeni based charities)…just lists of things that
define your own brand of crazy. Maybe it’s basic, like things you love or
hate, or maybe it’s more eccentric like ‘Top Ten Things I Do When Nobody is
Looking”, “Favorite Venereal Diseases Named after Flowers”, “Situations Where
it is Permissible for a Man to Order a Cosmo” etc.
I haven’t added these lists to the blog
and may not as I have a sane persona to uphold to the professional world and realistically,
who cares what I think the ten stickiest
foods are? Additionally, Facebook has bastardized lists with neutered
versions of what is interesting.
Nobody cares what your favorite movies are…nobody. People may care how you ‘choose’
movies, for example…I never, ever, rent a movie with three people smiling on
the movie box cover: chic-flick from hell.
So, I started a new list which
currently only has one entry. I finally found ‘the’ song I want to hear
if I ever go crazy (unlikely, but you need to prepare). This song
encapsulates how you should ‘feel’ as the straps are synched and you are loaded
into the van. As I peer out the chicken wire, this is the catchy tune I would
like to rock back and forth to. So
begins my list of ‘Top Ten Songs for Hospital Admittance’. I have nine
more openings for this list so feel free to share.
