people are v. concerned about flip-floppiness of politicians. i've never understood why. why, in the face of changing facts and circumstances, ideas and preferences, should one not be able to change their mind.
things i have changed my mind about:
tomatoes
escargot
ideal places to live
ideal dog size
barbie's ideal hair length
purple
religion
abortion
what i 'want to be'
laptop backpacks
my parents
acid-wash jeans
country music
feminism
taxes
who i love
friends
fish tacos
coffee
favorite Blizzard
whiskey
eggs
wristbands
my middle name
things worth doing
how much i am willing to pay for sunglasses
panic at the disco
things that, if asked about, i will still answer, "it depends":
affirmative action
death penalty
standardized tests
north or south
moe's or qdoba?
family guy or southpark?
are you asian?
are you a nice person?
can you do me a favor?
and i changed my mind about most of the things on the first list due to capricious preferences, not any kind of logic.
things i may believe:
- people only really respond to personal incentives
- everyone is insecure
- when the motor of your car window breaks, it really does sound like the whole window is being ground into millions of glass shards in the confines of your car door. it is not.
- chicago is a 'real' city. charlotte is a pinocchio city. i loved pinocchio as much as anyone else. i just hate that he had to find out the hard way that being human kind of sucks compared to doll life. well, maybe except for the sex.. and candy
- i have no original ideas. every time i think i think of something novel, i find MY thought written down somewhere else... published at least 100 years ago. i'm led to believe that there is just something wrong with the dissemination of ideas. again, an old thought. i am destined to continue thinking that i am the only one whose car window shatters.
