Stranger Than Wal-Mart

"Some 138 million Americans shop at Wal-Mart each week, making it perhaps the single most unifying cultural force in the country."

Jordan's Interesting Fact Expanded

If I had known that we would have to expand on the intresting fact we submitted I probably would have actually chosen something intresting. Instead now I'm stuck expanding on the fact that I am a misenthropic people person. Here we should pause for a moment to take in the sheer stupidity of that statement... Okay thats good enough. What is a misenthropic people person you ask, well thats a good question. I, for reasons unknown to me, have an inherant dislike of people, yet at the same time when I am forced to interact with them I find I do so in an agreeable manner. What a predicament. Actually though its something that I quite enjoy. Knowing that I can handle situations that for the most part I don't want to be in. Though this is true of many people. The only real advantage of being misenthropic and a people person is that I can normally see things from different points of view, which thankfully, helps in my writing. I can write a kindergardener just as easily as I can a serial killer. But lets remember just because you do it easily doesn't mean you can do it well. This, while unfortunate, is true. Having to write these blogs in the first place puts me in something of a quagmire. Firstly when I freewrite, which to me is anything other than story, I do so for myself never having the intention of others reading. My thoughts being that my freewriting is more of a catharcis for my everyday life and therefore none of your effing buisness. Yet at the same time I am curious as to how you who read this will react. There again my misenthropic tendancies are at odds with my people person side. Frankly I don't know if this is what this should be, but isn't that always true. Never knowing who or what you should be or how you should react. You could call me or my "intresting fact" many things, funny, weird, stupid, whatever. But you've got to admit being a misenthropic people person, its original.
