Expect Nothing

People get their expectations distorted by popular media.  It is never more noticeable than holidays.  For me, I don’t care how many times I see it in a show, I’m not singing carols on Christmas or wearing a big itchy sweater.  I’m also not buying a huge heart shaped diamond pendant for my loved one for Valentine’s.  If that is a condition for affection, there is a problem.

I do maintenance on water meters for my latest job.  I’ve never seen anyone, in any show, do such a thing, so my expectations are zero.  In TV land, you either work in a cubicle, as a health professional or a cop.  What else is there?  Maybe a rare example of an outlier career exists, but only as an exception.

How about a young person having those first stirrings of sexual attraction and looking to the media for hints for what to expect?  Pop music will give the idea that he or she should be deliriously in love forever.  I remember going through puberty with my AM radio crackling its way through one mushy love song after another, filling my naive little head with useless expectations.  Today’s youth watches porn and no doubt has another sort of expectation, especially about things like pizza deliveries and nurses.

As a rule, the lower your expectations are going into something, the better it will look in reality.

Your point of view, how you imagine yourself and your surroundings are measuring up, is everything.  Two people can be born in the same place and time and one thinks he is in heaven, the other hell.  If you can swing it, picturing yourself in paradise will certainly improve your mood and health.

About Me

Hi there.  My name is Brian and I live in Abbotsford, British Columbia.  I have a menial job – doing maintenance on  water meters – which would be pretty normal except that I am in Mensa.   It suits me in a way, because I have always stayed away from attention, and I get to work alone most of the time.  The main bad side to avoiding attention is when it trickles into my personal life, where I tend to keep even my friends at arm’s length.  Mostly people seem to regard me as a little eccentric.  Slippery and easily overlooked.  I have toyed with the idea that I may have some form of Autism Lite which permits me to function reasonably well in society but keeps me a little bit of a lone wolf.  By the way, when I say Autism Lite, I am in no way minimalizing the condition of people who actually have autism.

I am 53.  I have lived with the same great woman for 18 years, and despite my claim of being slightly anti social, I have successfully managed to reproduce.
This blog will be a day to day stream of rants, observations and nonsense.  Hopefully you will find it interesting.
