Morbid Curiosity

I m seriously considering going to a shrink, for one thing it sounds kinda fancy, secondly all bigshots have shrinks, plus I wanna see the purported “couch” and I m developing some serious doubts about thyself.

Ok first of all (this first, second thing I m doing it a lot, reminds me of lettermen, lettermen weird name huh wonder if he got it in kindergarten, but then it should be letterboy, man do u see how my brain wanders). So no first, seconds, what I was saying in that previous haze was that I was never a weirdo as a kid, in-fact I m very squeamish almost hypochondriac kind of person (talk abt impersonal blogs). Never into dissecting animals, collecting bugs, ok I have killed lots of insects on the way but that was just for survival.

So what has started bothering me lately is my weird fascination with really morbid shows and movies. Again I m not a saw, hostel gore violence fan, but then again I did like Sweeney Todd. Have read some Stephen King, saw in the mouth of madness, the other day. Then I stumbled on dexter, I tried watching rome, and the tudors but I m not just a history person and I cannot care less for politics. Now Dexter is not very gripping, not all the time, but its smart really dark funny show and as I mentioned in the heading, I have this morbid curiosity. The whole dexter titles is provocative, the way they show person having breakfast is more like a controlled massacre, kinda like how it was in American psycho, seemed like blood drops but was actually fancy food.

How dexter keeps thinking in his head about how “normal” people behave. There is this part when they show people cracking open lobsters with hammers, and he thinks normal people are very violent. But then again, this show has received a lot of critical acclaim, so I just think I m into watching high quality shows and if you have not watched it yet maybe you should check it out.. As for the shrink part, I saw in treatment (on podcast while working out, I do get out of the house too) if its even remotely similar I guess I m bored of therapy already..
