Who Do I Want to Be Today?
Amy & I were arguing about my roots last night. She says I'm probably more Swedish than anything, and she might be right, but that's not how I feel. Let's see, let me dissect the pros and cons of my two most majorest lineages:
ENGLISH/IRISH, etc.:
PRO: Historically Significant
CON: The Scourge of the Earth
PRO: Zest for life
CON: Prone to overindulgence
PRO: Home of Patricius
CON: The Tower of London
PRO: Rebels Galore
CON: Kings who Oppress Rebels Galore
PRO: Sean Connery
CON: Hugh Grant
PRO: The Beatles, Stones, Kinks, & Ozzy
CON: Spice Girls
SWEDISH/SCANDAHOOVIAN:
PRO: Ingmar Bergman
CON: Swedish Prisons
PRO: Ingrid Bergman
CON: Desolate Landscapes
PRO: Desolate Landscapes
CON: Pale-ness
PRO: Affinity for Cold
CON: No Music I know of
PRO: Recessive Genes, i.e. Eyes
CON: Gloominess
Looks like it's a toss up as far as what's better and what's worse. It seems England & Ireland have had more direct contact with my life, but I do love the wallflowerishly independent nature of the Scandahoove. I get my serious, paranoid side from them I think, and my serious, garrulous side from teh Isles.
