Top 10: No Top 10

I've just realized that we must have started a new year, at least according to the Gregorian calendar that I and many others currently observe. I know this because of the left-out feeling I get from observing that I have yet to write a post of my Top-10 Anything for 2007. I have not taken the time to look back on 2007, nor am I in a big rush to do so. But still, I feel the need to have a top-10 list of something.

Herewith, then, my top 10 reasons why I don't have a top-10 list.

  1. I read more than 10 really good books this year.
  2. I didn't even see 10 new movies this year.
  3. Ditto on the television programs.
  4. Most of the music I listened to was written over 400 years ago, so scratch the new music, too.
  5. I didn't have the extra time because I stayed out of the hospital all year.
  6. I have too many other things to write.
  7. As Isaac can tell you, I'm very bad at choosing.
  8. Most lists only have 3 or 4 really good things anyway.
  9. What's so special about the number 10?
  10. I could only think of 9 subjects.

    I couldn't come up with a good reason why I should bother creating one, since so many others have spent so much time and thought on creating theirs. On the flip side, I have this feeling it's been and is being way overdone.
