And while we're talking about things I don't get, let me throw this one out there too: The Breakfast Club. Why does everyone love this movie so much? It's just some kids sitting around in a library. It's really not THAT exciting of a plot. And the dance that the jock kid does when he is high...yeah. It is WAY LESS COOL than Kevin Bacon's angry dance in Footloose - you know, the one where he kicks/punches/jumps his anger out to a great song, all while looking so classically Kevin Bacon hot? Yeah. Sorry Breakfast Club. You're a second-rate movie in my book.
Also, Urban Outfitters. I am sorry, but what is their deal??? I think this store is the worst idea ever! People go in and for hundreds of dollars, they can fill their wardrobe with items that they could probably have found at the Goodwill for $3.00. And let's be honest: Urban Outfitters consistently sells items that are WAY UGLIER (and more cheaply made) than some of the things that reside at thrift stores. But when you pay $75.00 for it, I guess that makes it attractive and worth it when you put it on your body...somehow...I admit that I still don't understand how that works.
Another thing that I don't get is the guys who ride around on those little tiny bikes. These boys are at least eighteen or older...but they ride these little bikes around like it's NORMAL. Is it normal? Maybe they lead secret lives as BMX superstars or something? I feel like even BMX people ride bikes that are size appropriate. But what do I know? Mostly, I know that these grown boys look like fools riding bikes that look like they're meant for kids who are seven years old.
Really, this is just the tip of the iceberg on things that I am unable to understand. And knowing how much I love lists, there will probably be another one in the future. Maybe someday everything will just click into place and I'll just start getting things! Wouldn't it be nice? Ha!
The title for this post comes from this song:
