Blogging a list of the reasons why I'm happy to have named my van Martin Buren got me thinking about the increasing abundancy of lists in modern society.
We have grocery lists, to-do lists, bucket lists, and even hit lists. We just can't get enough of the things. But is the ubiquitous nature of the list (yes, I do use words like "ubiquitous" to mask my insecurities by trying to prove I'm smarter than you) a boon to society or an annoying trend that, if left unchecked, will ultimately lead to our collective downfall?
I'm determined to find out.
Unfortunately, the only way I could think of to analyze the role of lists is by list form. Oh cruel, cruel irony.
Tomorrow, I will be providing a list of why lists are a national treasure and the next day I will provide a list detailing why lists are pure, concentrated evil. Afterwards, I will analyze both lists and ultimately determine the credibility of lists as they relate to the meaning of life.
If I were in graduate school, this would be my thesis. So yeah, there's a reason I decided not to go to graduate school.
After my list experiment (which I guarantee will fundamentally alter the way in which you view your own existence or your money back) I will be returning back to blogging about my recent experiences. This week you can look forward to blogs about Yellowstone National Park, experiences in Idaho that may or may not involve potatoes, and my insatiable quest for a moose spotting.
Until then, please enjoy this link to a video where a moose shows a dog what's up.
