there is a band that we just discovered the other day, The Weepies. maybe we are just a little behind the times but we just started listening to them. sarah brought home their album and i really wanted to like them. they had the indy rock darling name, they had the indy rock darling album cover, they even started a band and got married and now travel the world in musical bliss...
but i just almost really like them. they have a few really cool songs, but i just don't like them like i thought i would.
so that got me thinking about almost liking things.
i really thought that i would like mountain biking, but my crotch began to tell me otherwise about halfway through a ride.
i really thought that i would like wine, but it just tastes like sour grape juice. where's the sweet goodness?
i really thought i would like playing the piano, but i quit lessons two separate times.
i really thought that i would like traveling, but it's no fun if you're working.
i really thought that i would like the new Flight of the Conchords song.
i really thought i would like twitter, but who gives a crap about your most recent selection of markers from Office Max and what your last burp just tasted like?
anyways...i almost like The Weepies

Hmmm...interesting post.
This got me thinking about "acquired tastes".
I like love drinking Guinness, but the first time I tried it I thought it tasted like sawdust steeped in old milk.
I love working out, but the first time I went, I thought I would die from a heart attack on the treadmill.
I love my old Doc Martin boots, but the first time I put them on, they made me limp.
I love The Weepies,but the first time I heard them I thought they were pretentious.
Then, one day, I listened to them as I drove down a back road in Tennessee in the fall...
Just thoughts...hope you are well.
side note to that, rob...
since this post i have actually started to like the weepies a little more. so there, i said it. i might have jumped the gun on that one
seth
