maybe it's just me, but I feel that these days, people are hesitant to give things a second chance.
I mean, if it sucked the first time, then why try again right?
as an avid believer of this theory, I confess that I've been very reluctant to give things another try.
but recently, I've found myself opening up a little to the prejudices that I firmly upheld:
01. the terminal- ohmygosh the first time I watched this movie, I almost fell asleep. but because I was continually presented with it due to a certain friend of mine, I watched it again and found it much more pleasant the second time. and the third.
02. wahoos- this one was a toughy. I had a horrible experience the first time, so it was super hard for me to try it again. but I tried it again, and this time with a recommendation from a friend that turned out to be very delicious.
03. celery&peanut butter-I didn't touch this combination since preschool (ants on a log) mainly because of my detest for about 2/3 of vegetables (as seen below). but due to a recent rediscovery of this refreshingly delicious treat, I have found myself very pleased with this snack. too bad there's a supposed salmonella crisis with peanut butter right now.
there are certain things, however, that do not deserve second chances:
01. toystory-I've given both this one and its sequel about thirty chances and they both have failed me every. single. time.
02. certain vegetables: mushrooms, raw onions, olives, eggplant, bell peppers, cauliflower, and my worst enemy--broccoli. yuck.
03. beowulf&the canterbury tales-need i say more?
but anyhooligans. I think I want to try giving certain things a second try.
we shall see how that goes.
