Trending Tuesday: #randomfacts

The other day I heard an interesting statement and it definitely stood out to me.

As children, you are ridiculed for being different and it is encouraged by many to fit in as much as possible. What's funny is when you become adults, you scramble to stand apart from your peers. Kinda confusing, isn't it?

Indeed, it is.

It's no wonder people are thinking so bass-ackwards today.

This is why I am championing the cause to celebrate the differences that make us all unique. I feel like everyone has something random about them that makes them stand out among the masses.

Here are the some highlights of mine:
#___SmartGuyFacts: I refuse to say OMG as I am a grown ass man. That's like calling a man Delicious (c) Ced the Entertainer.

#___SmartGuyFacts: I don't like scary movies. Damn vivid imagination.

#___SmartGuyFacts: I used to believe my next door neighbor was the Gooch. I think it was because he was 16 in the 7th grade.

#___SmartGuyFacts: I am the world's biggest Eddie Murphy (before Dist. Gentleman). After that, he ceased to exist for me.

#___SmartGuyFacts: I watch the Food Network to daydream about restaurants to go to. #innerfatkid #dontjudgeme #passthefries

#___SmartGuyFacts: I used picture Brandy and Monica fighting over me in the song 'The Boy is Mine'. #enoughmetogoaround

#___SmartGuyFacts: I want to start incorporating 90's slang back into my everyday vernacular. #wiggedywack

Now that you've giggled, chortled and laughed to your heart's content, list some things that make you random.

That's my time.

You know - I use spanish words like that too! Definitely me gusta!

Did capital letters do something to you?

I'd like to hear one of these back stories one day *props elbows under hands to listen*

I don't like people either. Damn ruffians.

i think that dogs/children appreciate the fact that i adore them, respectively. children that don't respond to people other than their parents often times will respond to me positively, i make them smile, laugh, warm up to me faster than usual.

i also think i'm slightly magical. not in a bad way, but i'm in tune with things that cannot be explained. i will have a thought or mention something and something related will happen seemingly as a direct result. example: i was talking to my girlfriend about the movie 1408, a Stephen King movie that i didn't know was originally a short story. well, my girl hadn't seen the movie but she'd read the story. i was the opposite. so she downloaded the audiobook of it and we listened to it. afterward, i was like, "now we gotta rent the movie so we can discuss the differences." i went to the livingroom turned on the tv and scrolled through the guide and what movie was literally coming on, still showing the opening credits? no joke. i'm special. now if i can only gear it toward financial gain...

I also can't watch scary movies. I know the blood isn't real, but it looks real enough...

Speaking of scary, I can't sleep in complete darkness. The boogeyman exists, and if its pitch black, he will come out of the closet.

I also watch Food Network faithfully. That, and the Travel Channel. I want to be like Anthony Bourdain when I grow up.

I really love finding and listening to different kinds of offbeat music. Smart Guy knows.

I want to be one of those 'experienced drivers' in the car ads. Lol.

I get extra pickles with almost everything. EStew knows.

I used to be that way about darkness - I think it's because I grew up in an old house and my older brother used to scare me all the time.

Who's Anthony Bourdain?

Mmmm extra pickles.

LOL @ at Aaron's magicness.

Anthony Bourdain is a chef/author who basically travels all over the world to try different cuisines and experience different cultures. His show, No Reservations, is awesome. He blogs about it. Check it out.

LOL! You're a fool. Ok here goes:

JP used to want to be a female rapper.

JP loves John Legend and would gladly carry his child regardless of rumors that he doesn't like women.

JP is both extremely outgoing and painfully shy depending on the alcohol intake.

JP can dance her tail off hence the reason she doesn't have one.

As far as the dancing the tail off, is alcohol intake included in that as well?

I use 80s slang.

-I will be a CD from the 70s, 80s, or 90s era and pump that joint like it came out last week.

-I look forward to rain sometimes. Not the misty kind but the thump/make some noise/thunderstorm kind.
