The Most Interesting Conversation

What is the most interesting conversation to most people? Well, in my experience; it’s talking about yourself. Who can blame you really? We are all interesting people that are trying to be understood. So what I don’t understand is why someone wouldn’t go out and try to date a boring or dull person. Especially one that is bad in social situations, but wants to meet someone. You know, those scared kids that didn’t even want to try to fit in with the “outcasts” because they didn’t think they had enough to offer any clique or group. All they would have to talk about is YOU! Yes, wonderful and entertaining YOU. I just solved two problems: interesting people in relationships with boring conversations AND lonely people that feel they have nothing to offer but long for a partnership.

Now I don’t want you to think that I’m trying to sell myself on you interesting people. I am one of those who enjoy talking about myself. In fact, I have way too many thoughts in my head for an average person.

For example:

I thought that a really scary Halloween costume would be a zombie mall walker. Zombie’s sprinting at you would, of course be scary, but a fit old woman walking incredibly fast at you would be unnerving and intense. It’s the difference between a shock horror movie that jumps things at you and a supernatural thriller that keeps things so on edge that the jumps scare you twice as much. That has the potential to be a very funny movie character if anyone can take advantage of it properly.

Speaking of zombie’s; I saw the new Michael Jackson movie recently. It was fun to watch, but a little disappointing at the same time. It is a bummer to see what kind of concert it would have been, but never to be finished. The movie itself is strange though since it’s not quite a documentary, not quite a concert, and not at all a movie necessarily. I’ve been thinking lately of what other kind of profession could pull off a movie about what they meant to do, but didn’t quite finish. It would be like if you called a plumber to fix your toilet; the plumber comes into your house with a dvd. He puts it in and shows you a video.

“This is a cgi composite of your toilet.”

The video continues to play.

“Here’s some stock footage of me fixing toilets at my job. Right here we piped in some crowd reaction to show how excited you would be at me fixing your toilet. This is a still image of you, showing what it would be like for you to look on at me fixing the toilet. Finally, this is a video of a normal working toilet to show what the ending would have been like.”

I didn’t necessarily mean to compare the movie to a plumber working on a toilet! Just the concept of the movie, I hope you understand!

So join me on a quest to spread the most interesting conversations. Sure, maybe you can get by with saying random things like me, but we all know that you can always fall back on letting someone just talk about themselves. All you have to do is start the conversation.

“Do you know a good icebreaker?”

That sentence IS my ice breaker.

Until next time, I’m Steve Wachner and sometimes I wear glasses to sleep so I can see my dreams better.
