Pirates vs. Ninjas: The Battle for Your Soul

ok. so lemme break it down for you. everyone in the world falls into one of two catagories. just two. there are no third party options. no cowboys. no astronauts. no gladiators or vikings. everyone is either a pirate or a ninja. when i ask people what catagory they fall under, quite often i get puzzled and questioning responses. all i say is "you're one or the other, which is it? look in your heart."

i'll go ahead and explain the pros and cons of either side. by that i mean i'll explain the pros of being a ninja, and the cons of being a pirate. because as anyone will tell you, ninjas freaking rule.

first of all, pirates are filthy. there's nowhere to shower on a pirate ship. whereas ninjas are well known for wearing clean, pressed ninja suits. all pirates are technically amateurs at pirating, whereas ninjas must complete years of official, diploma-awarding ninja school. pirates use guns, ninjas use jump kicks. pirates use cannons, ninjas use throwing stars. who's more tough? also, pirates are clumsy, albeit good swordfighters. ninjas, being the worlds best swordfighters, rarely have to duel anyone. they just backflip into the room and cut everyone's head off in seconds. my final point is that pirates are all gay. think about it. a whole bunch of dudes, isolated, drinking rum, no women around for months and months.

booya.
eat it, pirates.

something my family should know lots about

so i was sitting in art class this morning (TOTALLY paying attention), pondering my neurosis. i've always done my best to identify my poor/strange behaviors and correct/modify them to be more beneficial to myself and those around me. it's the least any of us can do as human beings to try better our actions and thought processes. so i was sitting there thinking about how this is going to be a lifelong process of spotting these personality oddities and shooting them down. that's when it hit me. will this behavior end up the same way everyone says is dangerous about antibiotics. the whole idea that with antibiotic drugs, any survivng bacteria is as a result resistant to that type of drugs. ending with the evolution of a super-bug that drugs dont work on, eventually killing everyone.
would the same thing be acheived by constantly trying to eliminate the strange parts of my brain? would i eventually develop some...thing, that is so far and beyond weird, that it would be life shattering.
would it be better to just settle on and accept a handful of traits (i.e. losing attention when people talk, being cheap with money, whistiling too much at innapropriate times, being afraid of puppies, ect..ect..), and call it a day?
