I'm an expert time waster. It is one skill I think I can safely say I have down pat. And that isn't pride talking, its just the truth of the matter. If you give me a task, I am more than likely going to put it off and waste time instead. I'm not really sure where this skill came from or when my development of it became complete, but regardless, it is a favorite pastime. Just like now... I have a stack of applications that need to be filled out that I have been chipping away at a very slow pace, but instead I decided to write about how well I waste time... and movies.
I don't watch many movies, simply because I have better things to do, like waste time. I feel like this makes me enjoy the occasional movie more, but also makes me super picky. I like an odd assortment of random individualized movies that have not the most remote things to do with each other. Currently in my collection are Die Hard, my first Christmas movie, Garden State, a modern classic, Shall We Dance?, dumb but entertaining, and While You Were Sleeping, cause Sandra Bullock is just cute. See, random... But I like variety in my movies. I think that what frustrates others, and myself, is that there is no rhyme or reason to my like or dislike of a movie. For some unknown reason, I love Dodgeball, but I hate Anchorman, Wedding Crashers, and Zoolander. I can't explain it to you, its just how it is. My two top hits in movie genres are probably musicals and man movies. The person who finally sees the light and makes a man musical, will be my hero forever. But it probably won't happen in my lifetime. I feel the two genres are still fundamentally separated. Call it what you will, that's the way it is. Anyhow, I would love to continue the stream of random thoughts and reflections, but I really have some time to waste and perhaps a movie to watch. Until next time...
