Blow Your Own Bubbles

A nebula of arrogance and pomposity spews off a snob like dust infinitely poured off of Pig-Pen. A snob is defined as a person who believes themselves an expert or connoisseur in a given field and is condescending toward or disdainful of those who hold other opinions or have different tastes regarding this field. Wow, I apparently have a lot to live up to! Or do all of us have a lot to live up to? Should all of us strive to become snobs? Okay, okay, I get that we shouldn't be condescending and close-minded to other's opinions, that's just me, but what if we truly believed what we said as much as the snobbiest person we know. 

The problem is that far too many people exist in other people's thought bubbles. Picture a snot bubble. Seriously, watch the link to that video before you keep reading. Imagine enjoying life living inside of that mucus-filled air pocket. That is what people do when they take on people's opinions without understanding them completely. Guarantee that you cringed watching that video, but I'll bet that woman is fine when she sees it. That's because its hers! One that note, please, get out of my bubble. You can look at my bubble, heck you can even touch it (assuming you want to get sick), but don't even think about living in it. Blow your own bubbles, please! How much better the world would be if (this is going to sound crazy but) we all blew our own bubbles, formed our own opinions. 

Now, I'm not saying that you can't share opinions with people. Obviously there can only be so many opinions on individual issues, but make sure you're testing that bubble. Try to poke holes in your big ball of snotty air. So now that you're utterly disgusted (if you're not click here) I will tell you that even though this blog isn't particularly about sports, most of my blogs will be. But this is essentially a caveat to all the other blogs that I will write as yours truly, The Sports Snob. Your opinions are welcomed, heck they're necessary! 

As topics arise daily you can always come to the Sports Snob for an opinion with plenty of meat. And all I want is to hear what you think. Agree, disagree, or maybe on the fence. Just make sure you're not living in someone else's snot. 

Blow your own Michael Bublé ;)
