In Theory...

Today let's discuss things that are good/bad in theory, but completely the opposite in reality. Now, this is just my opinion, it is not based on scientifcal (hah nice word) factoids.

In theory _______ is/was a good idea.

1) Mullets. Yes, in theory the old saying of business in the front, party in the back is a fantastic idea, however, when it comes to execution, this idea is super fail, unless its for Halloween, then it's awesome.

2) Communism. If you have taken a sociology class, you would have learned that in theory, this seemed like a good idea, but obviously, it was never executed correctly, since being called a Commie is an insult, and people apparently like to shoot communism in the face in places like, ohhhh, Texas.

3) "Alexander". The idea of this movie was so exciting. I mean, just look at the cast, and you'll understand. However, while watching it, I realized I hated it so much that all I wanted to happen was for Colin Farrell and Anthony Hopkins to die so that I could go home and get drunk to forget about the most shiteous movie my eyes have ever bled after watching.

4) Winter. Yup, in theory, having seasonal changes is a good idea. I don't agree.

5) Darkly colored highlighters. There are only so many colors that are on the lighter side of the scale, and sometimes you just need one more color when you are color coding something. However, when you start highlighting something in purple, you kind of f#ck yourself over...cuz you can't read what you highlighted.

6) Sun-In. You know that stuff you can put into your hair so that it looks like you have been in the sun a lot...I think its supposed to give you blonde highlights. Don't believe it. It makes your hair orange. Nobody wants orange hair...except for Leelu Dallas of course, but she's awesome. Let's just say I couldn't rock the orange hair on my multi-pass.

7) Fake Tanning. Pretty much the same reasoning as above.

8) "House of Wax". In theory, any movie with Jared Padalecki should be the greatest idea EVER. However, upon execution, this idea became traumatic and nightmarish. It was hard to close my eyes for two days and not see his skin peeling away from his, well, I guess it was his face.


In theory ______ is/was a bad idea...

1) Eating a bag of potato chips. This seems like a bad idea, but once you do it, it was the best idea you had all day.

2) Guacamole. You look at it, and it's green. Gooey. Green. But, you are brave and take a bite. Then, you will eat the entire bowl of gooey green ginormous deliciousness.

3) Doing anything that pertains to building after 2:00 AM, like maybe putting together a book shelf. You'd think it would have collapsed by now, but maybe my hammering skillz are exceptional.

4) Reading the "Twilight" series. Your friend tells you its about vampires, but you should still read it because its good, so you do. Then you read the first book in a day, and your life becomes focused on it for a good six months. Then its over, and you look back and think about how you were probably drunk for six months straight, and that's how you rationalize to people. Alcoholism...for six months. Yes, exactly. ... ... ... But you should still read it, cuz its good.

5) Watching more than one television show about vampires. Haven't found one that I don't enjoy yet!!

6) Credits cards to your favorite stores. You'd think that this would lead you to buy lots of things that you don't want. However, in reality, it leads you to buy lots of things you do want (and maybe need), for which you don't have to pay...until you get the bill...

7) "Rock of Love". We're talking about the first couple seasons here, they were awesome. Some of the worst television I have ever seen, but hey, I watched it!!

8) "Christmas Cottage". In theory, this movie should have been a waste of my time (even though the godlike Jared Padalecki was in it). However, after it was finished, I can't stop myself from quoting it at least once a day. Maybe Jared is up to something. Perhaps he really does know a memorable film when he sees one. Oh Jared, oh clever clever Jared.

There you have it. Good ideas that turned out bad and bad ideas that turned out good. It's kind of like what Forest always says "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get."

Oh, which reminds me. I'm adding boxes of chocolates that are unidentifiable to the list of good ideas that went bad. It's so misleading and severely depressing when the delicious treat you put in your mouth ends up tasting like that really gross bug Bear Grylls ate that one time that burst out towards the camera and he made that face that instantly conveyed "that was a horrible mistake".

For those of you who are strong of stomach, I urge you to watch the corresponding video to fully understand the face. The action starts around 1:00. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuB3kr3ckYE


Until later!!


aha!
