Hammock Dilemma

So one of the best things to date that my sister and I have invented is something called "the Hammock Dilemma."

The idea of the Hammock Dilemma originated when my sister and I were on vacation in Fiji. It was evening, we were staying at this pretty cool place on the beach that also had a pool. It being Fiji, there were just a shit-ton of hammocks tied to palm trees. I'm not even kidding. It's not a stereotype, it's real.

My sister and I were sitting in one of these aforementioned hammocks reading an excellent book called Overthrow* when it occurred to us that it might be awesome to go for a swim. The only thing left to decide was--should we swim in the ocean or in the pool? And then there was the enticing possibility of remaining in the hammock with our book. What were we to do? We were paralyzed by our inability to chose one possibility over the other. They were all equally wonderful, and would likely all equally result in us being satisfied and happy.

This is a classic Hammock Dilemma, my friends. It's when you are rendered immobile by a choice between two (or more) awesome alternatives.

Anyway, the reason I bring this up is because I'm experiencing such a dilemma right now and I don't know what to do! Should I have cookies and cream ice-cream, or peppermint tea with mint Milano cookies? My inability to choose has led me to write this entirely asinine #firstworldproblems ridden blog post.

*Overthrow, by Stephen Kinzer, is a great book that I recommend to anyone who has at all, even the slightest inclination to learn about covert CIA operations that resulted in regime change in other countries. It continues to be one of my favorite non-fiction books of all time.
