My Family's Genetic Recipe...or goo...

The thought crossed my mind that if my family came with a genetic recipe, would pretension be an ingredient? The answer is yes. Yes it would. Undeniably...YES.  While this ingredient may only be a tiny fraction of the whole, I think it sure gets its fair share of the spotlight. Take for example, my art. Yes, that's right. Some of you may have heard that I am an artist...I work mostly in the medium of discarded hair. The very essence of this God given talent makes me pretentious.  My status is (presumably) elevated because I have the creative juices embedded in me to make art out of hair! Not just any hair, but hair that falls out of my own head every morning. Now, don't worry, this isn't going to be another posting solely on hair art...though it is tempting...I was thinking about the other ingredients that went into the goo; good and bad:

Keep in mind that the proportions of these ingredients are different in each member of the family due to poor cooking skills. The ingredients are the same, just distributed differently:

Mad Skillz - (mostly I just wanted to write that. Still true though)

tumors

dark hair

dark humor

freckles

positive attitude/ defeatist attitude (equal parts initially added)

sinus problems

10 fingers and 10 toes

inability to tolerate POP music

pretension (down on the list)

motivation only by force, status, or desire for the nagging to stop

No spelling skillz (yes, that is a non-ingredient)

knack for learning, only when interested

penchant for blowing stuff up

and just a pinch of sugar

I sure may have forgotten some ingredients, but these make up the gist of it. Personally, I have tried to add in other ingredients, post birth, but the motivational thing is strong in me. I really gotta be nagged. Thinking back, there really was no point to this post...just trying to make up for the lame "New Floor" posting.
