The Little Things Mean a Lot - Part 1

Do you think that little things say a lot about a person? Or is it the big topics and overriding philosophies that people espouse to which decides what kind of friends, lovers, and people they are going be? Maybe it is just action without thinking and talking that measures the man (and woman)? I don’t have the answers. I was thinking about what I used to think could define a person when I was in my teens and 20s and I submit them to you with a fair degree of embarrassment. I am not too embarrassed though because it shows a naivety that I am happy I possessed back then.

I used to think that my eventual husband, the father of my children, my soul mate, would have the same opinions as my on these topics. Hey, could we have been best friends? Could we have been married and lived happily ever after? I would love to hear from each of you regarding all of these.

Who is your favourite Beatle? John, Paul, George or Ringo. Your choice categorizes you are artsy and philosophical (John), easy going, well adjusted and generally all around good guy (Paul), spiritual and a bright spark fading into the background (George) or an oddball, different just to be different with elements of Paul in there somewhere(Ringo). Ringo is the geek off the group. If he had a real job, he would be a software developer.

Pog’s choice – George. I have my reasons. He wrote or sang the best that the Beatles produced, hands down.

The Beatles or the Rolling Stones?

Pog’s choice – The Rolling Stones. It’s like choosing vanilla, the basis of all ice cream but still vanilla, versus rocky road with extra caramel and chocolate shots – messy, dirty, ultra-naughty, delicious.

Dogs or Cats? You all can write this one yourself, its been done.

Pog’s choice – Dogs.

David Gilmore or Roger Waters? Pink Floyd was dramatically different to my ears without Roger Waters.

Pog’s Choice – Gilmore. Give me “Learning to Fly” above “Another Brick in the Wall” any day. BTW, I know this is going to be a point of controversy amongst you hard core Floyd fans which I will not claim to be but I still get an opinion – it speaks to my character which is what this is all about.

Favorite Superfriend in the Hall of Justice – Superman, Wonderwoman, Spidey, etc.

Pog’s Choice – Aquaman. He was the hottest. Everyone knows that.

Baseball caps vs no baseball caps – Do you wear baseball caps? If you are a girl, do you or would you date a guy who wears a baseball cap. I don’t know why this is a category but it is. Boston College guys always wore baseball caps. Boston University guys (my alma mater) didn’t often.

Pog’s choice – no caps. I’ve tried it but for whatever reason, that intangible reason, it never worked out.

Reading over these, I see most of them are music based. It makes sense seeing as how music was a defining element of my youth and has become less of a defining factor of my social life as I have gotten older. Well, it’s a start. Maybe I will come up with a more up to date list, more relevant to my thought processes now. Stay tuned!
