Rationalizing More Than Necessary
"I'm not afraid to admit it," I told my friend JT, over beers earlier in the week. "This Friday night, I'll be at home... watching the premiere of High School Musical 2."
"It's a major cultural phenomenon for little kids!" I continued. "Did you know that the original film's soundtrack was the best selling album in 2006?! It was one of the most watched programs in the Disney Channel's history and was nominated for four (and won TWO) Emmy Awards.---In fact, during the filming of High School Musical 2 in Salt Lake City, the Utah State Governor personally visited the set because... he has a seven year old daughter who has the original film completely memorized."
"Now, as you know, JT, I mainly work with kids in their late teens and early twenties, who probably are 'too cool' to be fans of the film right now. However, their younger brothers and sisters LOVE it, and when those kids get older, I'll be working with them, and I'll need to be able to relate to their experiences... So, in essence, I kinda feel obligated to watch the movie, career-wise, so I can work more effectively with future generations.---Does that make sense?"
"Um, well,... sure," JT replied. "That makes sense, but... ya know, you really didn't have to go into the whole long justification."
"I didn't?" I asked.
Nope," JT answered. "You could have just said,... `I'm gay.' "
*heheh*
