Either You came Onto the Earth As a Genius, or You Came On as Less Than a Genius

Last night, my sister said, "I've begun to realize I'll never be a genius."  I just thought one can't become a genius.  Either you are a genius, or you aren't.  I don't have aspirations of becoming a genius.  I have the luck of having an above-average mind, and that satisfies me.  This just explains the way genetics work.  Either you have the luck of having a super-brain, or you don't.  The topic of "geniusdom" came up in watching the short films of David Lynch.  My sister calls him a genius.  He made most of his short films as a student, so they, although completely weird (one can take weird as a sign of a genius' work), seemed a little rough, and pretentious, to me.  During his present directing years, in my opinion, David Lynch has become an excellent director.  Just as genetics decides intelligence, genetics also decides attractiveness.  David Lynch doesn't look so good.

Phrasing Paradox

I have a conundrum about a commonly used phrase.  I wonder about the origin of "I'll take care of you."  One doesn't take care.  One gives care.  This question probably has an obvious answer, but I have no clue how to find an answer.

Obligatory Response

A few people asked me during Christmas, if I liked the gift he or she gave me.  I, obviously, said "yes" in order not to hurt his or her feelings.  Did he or she expect me to say "no", and give a long explanation of why not?

Things That Piss On My Existence

Somebody must like these things:

the Freehold/Chrysler/Jeep commercial
Maroon 5
Bruce Springsteen
the Faux Hawk
skin-tight jeans
un-flavored yogurt
Bon Jovi
wearing a baseball cap, while presenting hair on the forehead, or wearing the cap too loosely (like Jason Dufner)
overly branded clothing
photos online of things I have not eaten
Train
Creed
Cleatus - the Fox football robot
music by the rapper "Drake"

Offensive

I become so angry when someone tells me I can't do something.  The other day, to make a point about the challenges I've overcome, my dad said, "Just a month ago you couldn't put on your socks."  I then said, "I could.  I just didn't feel like it."  Most of my recovery comes from the fact I believe I can do anything humanly possible.  My dad then said he used the word "couldn't" for the sake of expediency.

I hope Brooklyn Decker, and Andy Roddick get divorced, so then I'll have a chance to marry Brooklyn Decker.

Animalia

As fellow animals, we should love beasts (dogs and cats) more.  I love animals more than I ever used to, so join me in the embrace of animals.

I just saw one of those commercial aimed to make people feel bad about the plight of potential pets, and anyone who feels comfortable embracing the emotional side out the human psyche, can't help but recognize the animals on the screen look incredibly cute, and awesome.
