Whats in a guilty pleasure?

All of us have a guilty pleasure of some sort.

I mean let's face it, some people might take bread sticks and dip it in mayo while watching late night showings of Grey's Anatomy (you know who you are!) and others will probably go shopping for lingerie that their parents or church groups would denounce them for wearing.

Let's not forget those guys that spend drunken nights watching Sex and the City with their numerous female friends and of course you can never forget the people that watch porn because they enjoy it (You are not watching it for the stories! Stop lieing to yourself!). Then you have the strip club frequenters (Yes, they do love you and want to marry you! MUAHAHAHA!). We shouldn't forget about those that get drunk Friday nights, play a FIFA '08 tournament, win said tournament and then lie to their significant others about being at work till the wee hours of the morning.

I just realised this list is endless and I could go on and on... but I won't.

Anyway, the point is that everybody has something they do that is basically a "Guilty" pleasure. Now how would most people define a "Guilty" pleasure? Well it's something you enjoy doing but you feel bad about. I could use guilty instead of bad, but I've been told you should never use the word you want to define in a definition.

Now I've done tons of stuff that I enjoy and I spend large parts of the day telling myself I don't feel guilty about doing them. Yes, I'm a very convincing liar.

I shall now list down just 3 of my "Guilty" pleasures (Why? Because it's my blog and I can?):

1) Watching shows like Beauty and the Geek and America's Next Top Model: In all honesty Beauty and the Geek has to be the funniest show on T.V. The women are the ultimate male HCHHSSTT fantasy and dumb to boot. Though sometimes I think they do it more to get the attention.

The Geeks, well, let's just say I can relate to them. Hell I could probably get on the show. I may not be a very smart Geek, but I am definitely a Geek (Video games, comics, cartoons, blogging - Nuff Said).

2) Revving the throttle of my bike in front of attractive (and sometimes not so attractive) women: While this is definitely the most lame thing I do, and completely goes against the code of being a "Biker Dude". It is something that trully gives me pleasure. Unforunately for me, it has gotten me into embarassing situations. Such as stalling of said bike in front of an HCHHSSTT.

I can understand why Suzzanne would feel a little jealous. However, it is something I doubt I'll ever stop. Hmmm... Kinda like the way I'll never stop checking out an HCHHSSTT even when I'm married. But I digress... a lot...

and finally

3) Writing a blog: I have to admit, after all these months I definitely do get a certain joy from writing about myself and my not so ludicrous thoughts (as well as those of my friends).

It's not even about getting famous anymore or meeting an HCHHSSTT. It's more because I've realised I suck at keeping in touch with my friends and so I finally found a way to let them know I'm alive.

Sure not everybody is interested in the Lifestyle of the broke and not so ludicrous, but hey for those that actually do want to know. This one is for you!

The truth is, I'm all about "Guilty" pleasures. In fact I believe without the guilt, a lot of the pleasure vanishes. I mean come on, how many of us take pleasure in the fact that we work 40 hours a week? Oh wait, or how about that time you decided to go grocery shopping. So much pleasure right??

So what's in a Guilty pleasure? Everything. The more the better, just don't kill anybody. I don't need that on my conscience.
