Things that should be dealbreakers, even though they they don't always seem like dealbreakers...

I thought about doing an introduction to this new-ish blog, but I figured I would let it speak for itself...so here it goes.


1. Musical tastes.
Sure..."experts" may try to tell you that having different tastes in music is not that important because you can learn to like and tolerate anything...but let me confirm that no one can learn to like trance music (barf). So I beg to differ with the "experts." If a person cannot jam to what I am jamming to...that love sesh is dunzo.

Plus, it is annoying having to explain every single music reference I make, honestly who doesn't know who Ben Gibbard, Jenny Lewis and Pete Yorn are?

2. Sports Teams.
I don't mean like the, "Oh he is a boy and he likes football and I don't really like it...but I will pretend to know what the heck I am talking about when I watch the superbowl" kind of tension so much as I mean when the person does not like sports at all.

I mean...what kind of boy doesn't know the basic NBA, NFL and college sports teams? Even the indiest of all indie boys that I have met can carry on an intelligent conversation about some form of team sport...so there is no excuse. If they aren't sports-literate to an extent, it is likely they were raised in a hole...or some form of home-school situation...so that is not looking too good.


Any more you can think of? Please share. Because although I trust them with some things..."experts" are no good at matters of the heart.

Peace-skies.
