Gawd! I am such a sap...

No I am serious - I really am a sorry sap... a total sucker for all the things that guys are stereotypically not meant to be suckers for! Actually, I prefer to see myself as a study in contrasts and call that the fountainhead of my intrigue and allure...hehe!

Anyway, I digress...

So like I was saying, I am a sorry sap! While The Godfather continues to be one of the coolest books that I have ever read, Love Story still manages to get me a little misty-eyed after all these years... My lips curl up in a semi-smile when I watch Notting Hill or Serendipity and I must say that I cheered for Rhett and Scarlett to get together with the same vehement urgency that I usually reserve for cheering John McClane on while he goes all 'yippee-ki-yay, mo-fo' on the bad guys! Hehe. Then there is music - actually let's not even go there... I don't think I ever really found anything particularly likeable in the usual guy-loves - punk/acid rock, anti-establishment heavy metal... I think the closest I got to 'anti-establishment' in my musical likes was Lennon's Working Class Hero!

(Btw, I was recently shocked to hear from a couple of my Amru colleagues that not only had they never heard of the Erich Segal masterpiece, but that they were also unaware that The Godfather was actually a book before it became a cult-classic movie!!! Quel Sacrilege! If any of you who have happened across this post belong to either of those categories, please do yourself a favor, click on the link above and order a copy TODAY! hehe)

Anyway, I digress again...

So like I have been saying all this while, I am but a sorry sap! A sentimental softie... and I am not yet sure if that's such a good thing... While I figure that out, if someone asks, the official line is that this antithesis is an integral part of my charm! ;)
