Top Ten Tuesday is an original weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. I thought this would be a fun way to share a condensed version of potential rambles and thoughts that I have.

This Week’s Theme:
Top Ten Characters Who
Could Pass As A Talk Show Host

Initial Thoughts:

This was a freebie week (whatever that means) that allowed you to stray from the weekly topics (which I do most of the time anyways). I have about 20ish topics ready for freebie weeks such as these. Most of them don’t make sense to me, so I hope this somehow works out. Huehuehue. 

There’s honesty for the sake of honesty…and then there’s honesty delivered through unorthodox measures that get the message across through different means.

Sometimes you come across characters that are there to provoke thought, to inspire, or are simply there for the sake of comic relief. Other times, it’s all that and more when there are characters who in the midst of all their nonsense provide rich meaning. To give feedback is to listen; and to actively respond is to grow the value of the dialogue in exchange. This could have easily passed as a post about characters grounded in active listening. Instead, it considers another level of characters that are indeed engaged but are personable enough to provide entertainment value passable by talk show hosts on television–they range in diversity from being controversial table-topic driven to the plain hilarious.

Top Ten Tuesday is an original weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. I thought this would be a fun way to share a condensed version of potential rambles and thoughts that I have.

This Week’s Theme:
Top Ten Book Bromances

Initial Thoughts:

Top Ten Book Friendships felt too tacky for me.
So, obviously, this is much cooler …wait for it… bro-er.

Don’t get me wrong though, I do enjoy a good friendship turned shippable relationship or even the possibility of a platonic friendship between boys and girls, men and women…but bromances are a different beast of its own right. Or at least I’d like to think so.

Apparently, there are diverging meanings toward what bromance ought to be. Some sources focus on the non-romantic, non-sexual relationship between two males while others add to that and focus on it having to be straight boys/men only. Even if you made me take a step back twenty years to consider what bromance ought to be, I’d still favour the former. Narrow-mindedness and not forward-thinking rambling is not in my repertoire despite its validity to some individuals that I can’t completely and faithfully argue against. Because in the end…to each their own. But I’m opening up the scope of bromance for this list to consider all aspects of self-identity. I mean does everything have to relate back to some social cause? Nope.

(But really…I can’t take myself seriously with this post.)
