On Sunday, a friend walked over to me and asked me "when was the last time you actually wore long pants?" It took me all of two seconds. "I pointed to another friend and explained "June 9th, his daughter's wedding." It made me start to think about other things, I've realized about myself. Obviously, many of these things would be considered quirky, but they are just me.
I love cooking breakfast. A good omelet and an English Muffin is the perfect match for a steaming pot of coffee. I've never been that much into sweet breakfasts, so pancakes are a rarity. It dawned on my recently that in all the years of cooking eggs, I've made omelets, poached eggs, fried eggs sunny side up, over easy and over hard, hard and soft boiled, I've basted them even shirred them, but in all the years, I've never once made scrambled eggs. I just don't like them very much.
I grew up wearing baseball caps. I used to be that guy who wore a cap everywhere. I cringe now when I think about how many times I'd wear a cap in a bar, although I always took it off when I sat at a table to eat. I don't know exactly when I stopped, but the last time, I can remember wearing a hat, while I wasn't golfing was about eight years go while going into the city. It's amazing how I never went bald from always wearing one.
I broke my TV a few months ago, when I tripped over the chord and ripped out part of the back. So I can still watch movies, but I can't get reception from television. I haven't watched a TV show in almost three full months and despite following shows on regular TV like Criminal Minds, New Girl, Up All Night & Grimm, I can't really say I miss them. I'll probably end up getting Criminal Minds on Netflix after the season is over, but doubt I'll go after the others. The one thing I really did miss was the World Series. I actually didn't watch two of the games, which for me is unheard off.
As many know, I'm a movie fanatic. American Movies, at least the one's that stay in the theater, have gotten so bad, that I'm just not willing to fork over the same amount it costs me to get a month worth of Netflix movies in one sitting. The last movie I've gone to see in the theater was the perfectly awful John Cusack film, 1408. That was about five years ago. I could be wrong, but before that, the last movie I remember going to see was The Perfect Storm. I may buck this trend and sneak out to see Lincoln, because it looks amazing, but who knows.
This last one is borderline upsetting. I've gone up to visit my father a lot this past year, but it dawned on me recently that I have only been to NYC once this year. I've not been to Brooklyn since 2011. That's all fine and good, because it's not like I love the city like so many. Here's the truly troubling realization. I have not been out of the state in over 16 months. What's worse, is that the last few times I was out of the state it was for work. I haven't gone out of New York in nearly four years for anything pleasurable. That has got to change. Although the fact I haven't driven a car in nearly a year, is another sign, I might not be going anywhere.
