It may be a stretch...but you're a gymnast.

It's natural to put things into categories.

I consider myself an observant person.  For example, I observe that Barack Obama's hair is turning quite gray these days.  I observe that contrary to popular opinion, the Twilight movies are not quality films.  I also observe that no matter how bad Twilight movies are, I keep paying money to see them.

But this blog isn't about my contradictory lifestyle, it's about people, and how I grossly stereotype them.

Through my observations, experiences, encounters, and my own personal insight, I have come to the conclusion that the human population, in it's entirety, fit nicely into two categories;

"celebrity people" and "non-celebrity people."

Let me explain.

There are two types of people in this world; people who know the difference between Robert Pattinson and Robert Downey Jr., and people who do not.

People who can pick out Gerald Butler from a line of Spartans, and people who think they all look the same.

People who immediately recognize the voice of Tom Hanks, and people who just cannot.

People who know that Brad was better off with Jennifer, and people who have no idea what I'm talking about.

This my friends, is what fundamentally bonds us or divides us.  Our ability to pick out Reese Witherspoon from a row of blondes, or simply knowing that Rachel McAdams looks so much better brunette.  You know you are in a "different category" from someone if you start discussing how multi-talented you think Justin Timberlake is when suddenly they get this blank look on their face and say something akin to, "Isn't he the guy from the Backstreet Boys?"
Or perhaps when you say to them, "Have you seen Jersey Shore?" to which they retort, "Huh?" to which you explain, "You know, Snooki?" to which they reply, "Is that some kind of cookie?"

My advice to you in that situation is just walk away, because obviously you can never be.

Some might say that this is a highly superficial way of ranking people, and in the end, does celebrity knowledge even count as knowledge?  Is it right to know that much about pop culture?

To that I say, "If this is wrong, I don't want to be right."

Some say this may sound harsh, and that perhaps I am ranking "celebrity people" above "non-celebrity people."

To that I say, "Oh, that is exactly what I'm doing.  How observant of you!"
