Seesaw

People shouldn’t be pigeonholed. However, it’s interesting to look at ourselves and others as the combination of a long list of our/their preferences between two choices in various areas. (Psychological tests, such as the Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator, force us to make choices like this, between two polar opposites.)

Just for fun, here are the choices I would make most of the time:

  • Canon over Nikon
  • manual over automatic
  • quiet night at home over a crazy night out
  • blindness over deafness
  • tea over coffee
  • Pacino over De Niro
  • Conan over Leno/Letterman/Fallon/Kimmel (but Ferguson’s great too)
  • real buffalo wings over boneless
  • Japanese over German (cars)
  • lakes over oceans
  • winter over summer
  • fall over spring
  • brunettes over blondes (sorry redheads and my fellow black-haired people)
  • crotch-rockets over Harleys
  • Batman over Superman
  • NY over LA
  • London over Paris (to live in)
  • Paris over London (to visit)
  • snowboarding over skiing
  • winter olympics over summer
  • Windows over Mac
  • colonial over ranch (houses)
  • Jet Li over Jackie Chan
  • Street Fighter over Mortal Kombat
  • Stewart over Colbert
  • introverted over extroverted (girls) hmm, not sure. it depends on the overall personality
  • wine over beer, liquor
  • samurai over ninja
  • Tiffany over Debbie Gibson
  • Hostel over Saw
  • Freddie over Jason (but Myers is king)
  • Gene Kelly over Fred Astaire
  • Star Trek over Star Wars
  • cats over dogs
