Wow three choices and yet all about ecentricities...I am damn wierd as it is so this should be a piece of cake. Okay so I will just answer all three and leave it at that.
Eccentricity is fun & tempting -- for this Sunday Scribbling I'd like you to:
a) admit any eccentricities you may have, or wish you had, or any you might choose to cultivate;
have:I collect lots of things I don't need or have a use for such as my 90 t-shirts (this is no joke) or 30 some pairs of pants, none of which are dress pants. 1300 some DVD's when I don't watch movies very often, way too many video games, swords which I have no idea how to use, books when I don't really read...well you get the idea. Also love piercings, tattoo's, dying my hair.
b) write about eccentric people you know or have heard or read about;or, the most fun:
A decendant of R.J. Reynolds (yes the tabacco guy) was friends with my father and had lots of exotic parties with women. I thought that was strange. He also had a mansion with lots of kids type toys when I was younger and he thought of me as a nephew. He had a real police bullhorn that we used to use from the top of the spiral staircase. He purchased a player piano for us for X-mas back when tape decks were cool and we could record ourselfs and play it back to have two players at once. That guy was awesome. He ate lunch at Dairy Queen everyday for years on end.
c) devise a bunch of eccentricities for yourself, for fun -- either for your old age, or now. Imagine you've inherited a mansion and a fortune, and now it's your job to become an eccentric. You know, like having a pet pot-bellied pig that goes with you everywhere, and always wearing jodhpurs and riding boots (I had a boss that did that, though he owned a restaurant and didn't ride horses; he looked like a male Yoko Ono in riding attire).
Other than the stuff I already do, probably an exorbitant car collection-one for each day of the week, but since I care for the enviornment they would all be hybrids. An airplane/jet so i could have stopped the problem with Afghanistan a long time ago. Enough money to buy off some congressmen and get Bush impeached in the first term so we would be better off now. I would like all the large editions of the carebears. I would love my own putt putt and bowling alley and arcade. I would love a Wii without any lines to wait in. I am a man, but I would love to be a cat lady except male. I'd keep my wife just as she is, but maybe we could have one of those beds that you put a quarter in and it vibrates because they would make me laugh. Most of all I would like a Doctor to figure out why I haven't cried in a few years to make it happen
