I love lists, I admit it. You give me the top ten mysteries of prehistory and I’m perfectly thrilled. It's more than the juicy information, it’s the grouping of similar facts into a list that I find cool. Ten inventions from the Renaissance that are still used today, and lists like it, endlessly fascinate me and educate me at the same time. Listing things isn’t the only way to learn, but somehow it makes leaning interesting and has a way of teaching an idea or concept.
So yes, I like lists, many of my blogs are lists of favorite games, books, comics, movies, and things to do while you are really stoned. So, I thought it would be fun to make a list of the best lists. I remember The Book of Lists from the 80’s -just looking at the kinds of lists was a weird kind of fun. So welcome to my weirdness and my top ten list.

I know. You want what’s on each list: that’s not the point. If I listed ten full lists, I dare say, each list would lose it’s importance. The fact is that top ten lists are very arbitrary and everyone’s lists look vastly different. But in a strange way, my lists show what I’m thinking about and I find worthy of considering. Each list gives insight to my values: no top ten Cardi B songs or top ten fastest cars, they might be interesting but not relevant.
This top ten experience was in my top ten!
