The other day I completed the 11 things tag and tagged my good friend Kaye over at The Life and Styles of KLF who very promptly posted her answers. One of the questions I posed to her was What is your biggest guilty pleasure? and her response has certainly got me thinking.
Kaye said that we shouldn’t feel guilty about things we enjoy and the more I think about it, the more inclined I am to agree. Why should I feel ashamed of my love of cheesy pop, 90’s sitcoms and murder mystery shows, an author who other people may detest?
One of my biggest ‘guilty pleasures’ is one that I am quite vocal about on Twitter (especially when chatting with Charli, Anastasia and Charli but I’ve never really touched on it when it comes to this blog. You’ve guessed it – it’s professional wrestling and in particular WWE. I love watching it all and get totally immersed in the whole atmosphere.
I am aware that it is scripted and thus fake but the bumps they take are real – and their storylines are often much more believable than the soaps we have on TV nowadays.
I am building up quite a collection of books by or about WWE wrestlers – at last count I had Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and Rey Mysterio. I recently picked up this Mick Foley book but I have so many more on my wishlist.
I’m no longer going to feel guilty about the things I enjoy because life is far too short. What about you?
I love the WWE too….Mick Foley's books are brilliant! I have them all. So honest and funny! He is a legend! If you were a fan of Eddie Guerrero….His book is a great read!
I would love The Undertaker to write one….The stories he could tell x
We have to have guilty pleasures…at least that is what I am going to keep telling myself. 🙂 I know that I can at least count on my guilt pleasure to raise my spirits when I'm in the dumps…
You shouldn’t be embarrassed about the things you like just because not everyone else likes the same things!
