5

Several weeks back I remember talking to my sister on the phone (as I am frequent to do at the end of my day, often for no other reason than to escape or delay total boredom), only for her to quickly change whichever subject we were on to that of a new brand of ice cream. It was interesting at the time--I do like ice cream myself after all, as well as occasional bits of conversation regarding the dessert. But soon after the call was ended I did what any white male American will do (and what the white female has come to expect us to do)... I forgot about it.

Fast forward to now only several days ago where the viewer, omniscient stranger or stalker finds me at the local grocery store, where I was, oddly enough, buying groceries. I don't recall what prompted me to walk down the frozen food section. Actually I do, it was pizza. At any rate I saw out of my right eye's corner and through the fogged glass to a pint of the ice cream my sister so enthusiastically endorsed. The name is "Five," or "5" as I have once again forgotten much about it. The name/number refers to the list of ingredients, which are so simple and take up so little space that they put them on the front! Incredulous I know, but true.

This is all going somewhere, trust me. As I thought more about this unique ice cream I began thinking of things very un-ice cream in nature. Things that eventually led back to myself (you see I'm lactose intolerant, which technically makes me very un-ice cream in my nature). So I thought and eventually said to myself, "Self, how might you describe your person in only five words or things?"

And so here we are. If you aren't yet bored, I can promise that the following will be a nearly complete compilation of ingredients that make Adam the Adam you all know and tolerate. Honest. What I can't promise is that said information will suddenly make you unbored.

1. Art - I think I've got more artist in me than anything else, be that a good or bad thing. It's the one hobby or time occupying habit that I remember doing the most. It will probably go away when I die (or in keeping with this "ingredient and food" theme, expire).
2. Science Fiction - I include things like my love of movies in here too, since my favorite ones are usually fantasy based. Mostly though I'm referring to Star Wars. Everything and anything Star Wars. Really folks, it's HUGE. I don't think any other IP out there can touch this thing.
3. Religion - This encompasses a lot (family, church, etc.), and since my posts tend to be sarcastic and largely inconsequential, I don't want to go into this serious of a topic here and now. But it's there.
4. Cartoons - They're closely related to my affinity for movies and art, but basically I'm saying that anything animated (and not of poor quality) I like, and often love.
5. Eating - I may not look like much of an eater on the outside, but believe me when I say my insides love this. My latest 'thing' is applying this practice to ethnic foods. I still have a special place in my heart (and colon) though for old favorites. You know who you are. Mmmmm.

These are only the most recent. It could all change tomorrow (except Star Wars), but that won't mean I'll have a new post to reflect that.

Done.
