Sit and Stare by OneRepublic

I appreciate the comments, keep em flowin....!

Im not a freak or
weirdo, but i enjoying watching people. Im not a peeper or stalker by any means, i don't have binoculars or a mega-hearing device, but i think its fair to say that i really think its comical to watch people and see how they are wired. So with this post i bring that thought into play:

As class has started back again, I found a very profound observation that is worth trying for yourself. When you first get to class, after you find the
building and classroom, if you arrive early to class you are most likely one of the first few in the room, right? OK, so as you find your seat, sit and watch as the class fills up. Watch how each person finds a seat b/c everyone's approach is different. Usually the non-social people will enter the room and quickly find a seat with less walking distance so they don't draw any attention to themselves. Others walk in with a friend or see someone they might know (or act like they know) and find a seat where they can be a safe distance away from the professor so they can talk it up. Then you got the popular ones, these are the people who try to find the cutest guy possible and buddy up with them by making dumb comments like, "this is english right?hahahaha" or "i know you from somewhere? did we play t-ball together?hahaha" or better yet "so, im knew here and i really don't know anyone, can i sit next to you?hahaha" (hint: the convo is always followed by a "hahahah" b/c the token laugh always lightens the mood!). Then you have my favorite group...the morons from moron mountain that think its better to sit close to the teacher b/c they really love it when students are all up in their grill and ask retarded questions. Just a word to the wise...dont sit front and center, everyone knows your a freakin teachers pet, jus listen and make a's, that's the correct formula, NOT asking 1000 questions per class. So i as find how people churn and watch why they do what they do, finding a chair in class is surprisingly more important than you might think. You can find out alot about people by all the small choices they make. These small choices make up people's lives b/c by all the small choices they make will make the big decisions very predictable. You can quickly figure out that you do not want to be in a study group with Mr. P.I.M.P. as he strolls into class with his bling-bling and backpack over one shoulder. On the flip side, the people who act normal and take notes might be the better fit.

SD 13

Needless to say this is a very
big weekend...
Im a Jaguars fan and think they have a chance but if Brady starts to get too comfortable and gets on one of those "throw the ball 20 straight times" modes, it will be a butt kicking cuz our DB's and nickelbacks cannot cover the Welker's and Gaffney's that NE has.
Since this could be the last time I blog bout the Jags for quite awhile, I'm providing you some helpful material to be properly equipped with the best way to describe its team members
1.)
John Henderson
2.)
MJD
3.)
MJD II

Peace

i was excited about this post! my first thoughts after waking up this morning: "jeremy is blogging today!"

good stuff though. why are you just now getting around to blogging? you should have been doing this from the beginning...

That was hilarious!! You must be very observant...I'm impressed.

I LOVE people-watching...it's so amazing!!!

And, overall I agree with your picks...your Jags might have a chance, just depending on how everything goes, like you said...and I think NY-Dallas will be a good game, but agree that the Cowboys will probably take it, unfortunately...we'll see!! :)

amelia watch your back. no one talks about my cowboys and gets away with it. haha. i am kinda scared about the game. dallas could come in and win by 21 or they could lose by 21. it's so up in the air. the way they have played the last 4 games gives me no confidence going into saturday. but don't let me hear smack talk out of your mouth about the cowboys ever again. thanks.

Haha sorry, Mr. Wiley!! I didn't mean to offend...just my little analysis--and I said you all would win!! :) I watched the first half of the Dallas-Panthers game a couple weeks ago with a hardcore Cowboys fan, so we got really into it, and you looked pretty nice then...but you're right about your last couple games overall being a little shady. We'll just have to see against New York...but I'll be nice and wish them good luck for you, John! (Yes, sir on the no-more-smack-talk...unless y'all play the Steelers, and then it's game-on, because then my fellas totally dominate yours...:) )

Interception

TaylorW said...

Hobb - Your brief intro in the opening paragraph of that post is a glimpse into why I am currently a PSY major at the moment...

People watchin' is one of America's Greatest past-time's.

I should note:
***You actually used a brilliant PSY technique while starting your blog. Allow me to explain. By stating that you would post every Tues & Fri , you automatically set up a "positive reinforcement time schedule" for us (your readers). Basically all this means is that when we first got on your blog we had the idea ingrained into our mind that you would post of Tues & Fri - so now that we've come back to check and been rewarded (with a new post) we will crave this excitement again and seek the reward on Tuesday. You have essentially created two days of the week as Stimuli to our brain to come at check your blog...

Hobb$ , maybe no one has ever told you this, but that move was BRILLIANT son!

keep postin'... it's good for tha brain!

TaylorW said...

O, I almost forgot: Hobbs, I know your blog is still in the infant stages (but with a very bright future!) - but get some sidebar links ASAP bro!!!!... If there's one thing bloggers like > it is the ability to "blog-jump" (as I call it) and hop to other blogs and see what people are sayin with ease..

u feel me?

not sure if you watched last week or not, but the steelers lost last weekend. so if the cowboys play them, it will be next year maybe.

only the good teams are left.

and yes, i do have binoculars. hagan has them right now though, he stole them. something about some good looking girl next door? i dont know.
