Every Instinct I Have…..

Found this site dedicated to George Costanza and could not be happier to revisit a recent thought I shared with DH just this Friday.  Being a social recluse is not working and I must always do the opposite of what I want to do when invited somewhere now, I must accept and show up.

“Why did it all turn out like this for me? I had so much promise. I was personable. I was bright. Oh, maybe not academically speaking, but I was perceptive. I always know when someone’s uncomfortable at a party. It all became very clear to me sitting out there today, that every decision I’ve ever made in my entire life has been wrong. My life is the complete opposite of everything I want it to be. Every instinct I have in every aspect of life, be it something to wear, something to eat… It’s often wrong.”
- George, in “The Opposite”
Bald men with no jobs and no money who live with their parents don’t approach strange women.”
- George, in “The Opposite”
 
“A job with the New York Yankees! This has been the dream of my life ever since I was a child, and it’s all happening because I’m completely ignoring every urge towards common sense and good judgement I’ve ever had. This is no longer just some crazy notion, Elaine, Jerry. This is my religion.”
- George in “The Opposite”

Well, it’s simply genius. I plan on working with this theory until adbucted by some lunatic and then I will look for a new plan.

    That is one of my favourite Seinfeld episodes ever! I’m beginning to wonder whether I should follow the path of the opposite too, actually…
