In or Out of Sync?

I don't give a hoot about Justin Bieber's new hairdo.

Nor do I care a damn about Jennifer Anniston's hair style.

I have never watched the Grammy's or any other awards show except the Academy Awards (about every three years, if I don't have anything else going on.)

I care nothing for political commentators of any ilk and seldom watch the two political networks, FOX news or MSNBC. I would gain more life knowledge from watching the Cartoon Network.

I don't like lamb. When it cooks it smells like human flesh burned by napalm.

I can't drink beer or I am up six or seven times at night (bathroom.)

I love cats because they feign intelligence and they know that I know they are faking it.

I dislike stalkers and overbearing "friends" who always want to chat, call me on the phone to talk for hours when I have a deadline to meet at 8 a.m.

I don't need a smart phone. I already have a Mac that does more than a smart phone and doesn't cost $150 a month. I only use the phone to talk to people.

I never ever answer the hard-wired phone. I only have the line so that my DSL works.

The best programs on the TV are on PBS. I get three PBS stations on cable and they are wonderful. Masterpiece Theater is grand.

I can have a staring contest with a cat and nearly always win.

I do my laundry when it will just about fill my car trunk and the back seat. That is because I must use a laundromat, which I consider the next thing to watching grass grow or paint dry.

I do sitting zen while driving on long trips. It increases my alertness and is less boring than radio.

I totally live on Tostitos Artisan Chipotle chips.

My freezer contains packages and wrapped items that are total mysteries to me, but I leave them in situ.

It is always still dark outside when I awake, except for Sundays.

I seldom need an alarm clock. I have a staff of alarmist cats.

As you can see, there are people who believe I am out of sync with the "mainstream." My comment is "Who wants to be mainstream? Not this man!"

Cats are lovely and I think much smarter than we give them credit for
being. Most of us on this blog are out of the mainstream. I am in total
agreement about lamb or mutton. It makes me ill.

I've never been in the mainsstream either....life is much more interesting out of it, don't you agree? I hardly ever watch Fox Noise or MSNBC. the partisanship is claring. agree on lamb...don't care for it. tastes too much like deer.

Life is all about individuality..there is no trick in being the same as the next person.

You don't like lamb? Your associating it to a war memory is unfair and doesn't really explain it. It's in your head. As a 1st gen Greek, I grew up on it. I learn a lot from MSNBC. Elsewise, I am more or less in agreement with your choices. As for the fridge, if a something-or-other starts talking, out it goes. SMILE]

What's mainstream? I was born out of it and stayed out of it. I must admit I never got in a staring contest with a cat--that's sooooo mainstream!
