Simple Things

I like logic. It’s like walking down a very well-worn path to a destination that you can visualize before you arrive. No surprises.

I also like predictability. By its very nature you can count on it. It’s dependable.

I prefer puns to elaborate jokes that require a great deal of set up. I like folk music because it makes sense to me and has a long tradition. I hate movies that are cliffhangers. I want everything to be resolved when the credits begin to roll. If not, I feel gypped.

I think plain fabrics are much more stylish than flashy prints. I prefer picnics to wild parties. I like clearly defined instructions. I love one-on-one conversations.

I guess I’m a simple person at heart. If I could justify the expense, I would buy myself this product from Think Geek. It’s called the Useless Box. It’s plain, it’s simple, but it was obviously created by someone with a dry sense of humor. I think it’s delightful. It makes me laugh. And I know it always would. You can’t say that about too many things.
