Trust, is a big word.

No, not like antidisestablishmentariani-... you get the idea. just weeding out the occasional peanut gallery literalist in the audience. Speaking of peanut galleries, feel free to give me a hard time any day in the comments section ;-).

I had an idea of what I wanted to say when I sat down to write this post, but as per usual random thoughts can take over. So I'll get back to that big word in a minute.

Anyone here watch House MD? Well if I watched much TV, I probably would too... if I could stand even one minute of listening to Hugh Laurie's character. It's an odd thing. Characters like House pull off the witty, cerebral, and sarcastic mix of cynical humor with brilliance. But what undoubtedly draws many viewers to this humor- subconsciously, even, is exactly what I abhor in it's execution. This brilliant style of wit is often used by House to verbally rip others apart, preying on weaknesses. Let me put it this way... as much as I personally enjoy any opportunity to be sarcastic, in many cases there's a fine line between it being merely funny, and being pointlessly harmful. House can get away with using his style while being condescending and arrogant because of the skill he possesses. It's akin to watching American Idol or Hell's Kitchen... you know the judge is telling it like it is, and you respect him for his expertise, but it often leads to, in the end, just being another arrogant asshole, for lack of a better word. ;-). All I'm getting at is that I've personally known a few people with House's style of humor... the random, uncompromisingly honest and sarcastic wit that's always on the tip of their tongue (I'm a suppressed nerd at heart, so it's 10x funnier when it pertains to something insightful/scientific... or just XKCD-ish, hehe) but it's rare to come across someone that can use this gift in a constructive way.... even if just adding to everyday socializing. House just rubbed me the wrong way because I'd LOVE the character, if only it didn't come with the dark side of the force... lol. Kinda like Boondock Saints. AWESOME... oh wait, they're murdering in the name of God. Sigh. Don't get me wrong... my examples are just fiction. But they highlight bigger things.

I think I'll leave that big word for an entry to come very soon. What do transposition, Colorado, satellites and Paul all have in common? Probably nothing. But they all play key roles in my next post ;-) I need some sleepz for now, kthxbai.
