Something has been on my mind lately:
Everyone has different tastes, whether it be in food, music, art, books....you name it. How is it that we all like such different things?
For example, let's think about music. Why do I gravitate towards indie/alternative, while others like country, or hip hop, etc?
I know that part of this is environmentally based: how we grow up, what we are exposed to, what our friends like. But how much of preference is based on environment and upbringing? Is there a scientific aspect to it? Is there something about the brain that will make one person like rock and another like rap?
Another thing that got me thinking about this was the fact that I didn't like UP as much as most people I know who saw it (except for Steve). Now anyone who knows me knows I love kids stuff, and Pixar, and silly things. But UP was too silly, too ridiculous for even me. Why did I not like the movie as much as so many other people did?
Interesting things to ponder, and I could go on all night about it, but now it is time to read.
