Top 10 Things You Should Not Be Obsesed With

July 31, 2009, Category: Life's Shitty Truths

When did the word obsession get attached to only shitty things?  Why do we get the evil look if we’re ever obsessed with anything?  How did being obsessed with something get grouped with adjectives like creepy, weird, freaky, and so on?

I’m a little confused here.  So, let’s start with turning to dictionary.com for a quick definition.

Ob-ses-sion [uh b-sesh-uh n]
-noun
the domination of one’s thoughts or feelings by a persistent idea, image, desire, etc.

Well I would say that when a thought “dominates” my mind, it means that I just really care about it.  When you really care about something, you feel passionate about it. Now we are getting into a lot less creepy territory.

I would say having an obsession for some things is perfectly healthy and shouldn’t be deemed creepy!

For example, I’d say I’m obsessed with coffee.  Is that creepy?  No!  It’s quite common.  I go to the coffee shop, drink my white mocha, and work on my laptop for a few hours.

With that said, I must tell you that I’ve decided there are some things in life you really should NOT be obsessed with.  From my personal experience, I’ve learned that some things are very unhealthy to obsess over.  If you are currently obsessed with any of the shit that I’m about to share with you, please fucking get over it quickly or seek psychiatric help.

My Top 10 Things You Should Not Be Obsesed With – (in no particular order)

    1. Sweater vests
    2. Milk
    3. Being ranked in the top 10,000 for NHL 09 on Xbox Live
    4. Johnny Cash
    5. Boot-cut jeans
    6. Mexico
    7. Your ex-girlfriend
    8. A girl that doesn’t know you
    9. A stripper you met at the Las Vegas Spearmint Rhino
    10. Anyone under the age of 18… okay, 16

I think I want to contradict my opening statement and admit that, after making my list, I can understand how the obsession got its bad rap.  It’s because of “creepy” people like me.

However, I’d say it’s more contributed to the fucking assholes that sit outside elementary schools with binoculars in their vans.  These people do exist.  And if you get nothing else from this post, I hope you can take that to be the shitty truth.

    A great top 10 list. I think you could probably go on for days and make quite a list. Just a few that pop in my head are disco music, the migratory habits of water fowl, and John Denver’s greatest hits. And I got you on my blog roll. Sorry for the delay.

    Woohooooo! Allright! *doing a happy dance*

    Well let’s see! I can’t recall my comment o_O…well anyway I quite like being obsessed with Mexico, I like burrito’s and the poncho and the large hats hehehe. The stripper sounds interesting! My obsessions include giving blank stares to the wall, whilst eating hotwings, losing my art supplies only to find them in the craziest of places and doing funny dances to annoy my sister. The last one is kind of risky cause she tends to chase me around the garden sometimes…

    But I thank you Mr. ShittyTruth for removing the Captcha code!

    Here’s a shitty truth or two:

    1. Pit bulls WILL get you evicted from your apartment, even when they’re starved to meet the dog poundage requirement and named Fluffy.
    2. The IRS auditor WILL show up at your door 5 years after you thought you got away with that little white lie.
    3. Inlaws WILL show up at your door for a 24 hour visit, needing money ON your only day off and you WILL be wishing it was the IRS auditor again
    4. Some apartment complexes are trailers…they’e just missing the wheels.
