Guilty Pleasures

Now that I have been home I am finding it hard to write an entertaining blog that people actually want to read. I mean who wants to listen to someone bitch and moan about the differences between Long Island and New Zealand. I could go on for ever about that topic, but it does go stale after awhile. So now you get to hear me bitch about what ever I feel like.

This weeks topic of "Discussion" is Guilty Pleasures. I use the word "discussion" loosely because I am the only one doing the typing.

What is a guilty pleasure?

-- Wikipedia.org defines it as something that one considers pleasurable despite feeling guilt for enjoying it.

-- urbandictionary.com defines it as something that you shouldn't like, but like anyway.

-- Google comes back with the result of something that you enjoy that you think you shouldn't enjoy, either for personal reasons or because of the possibility of other's reactions.

-- HurricaneOne defines it as something that you like and are embarrassed to admit to.

Some might say that my definition is not clear enough. Now let me tell you like it is. A guilty pleasure is something that I would be embarrassed to admit. It doesn't mean that others reacting to my omission are embarrassed it means myself. I have plenty examples to back this up. After reading several different definitions online I went and structured my own meaning.

Example One:

I listen to Hall and Oates... and like it. That for me is not a guilty pleasure because I am NOT embarrassed to let everyone that reads the blog know that.

Example 2

I like the new Taylor Swift song Love Story... Guilty Pleasure because I am embarrassed to admit that to you all today.

I think that everyone gets the picture. Now this is the hard part. Let me know what your guilty pleasures are in an email to michael.petrina@gmail.com. Then I will post them on my blog in the future. Don't worry I will keep your identity hidden to the readers of this blog.
