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.

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

See Before You Speak...

Im Jeremy, and frankly I DO NOT care about people's opinoins but I want people to have one. In sports, ESPN DOES NOT care who your favorite team is or how long you have had season tickets. But they DO care that you have an opinoin on their topics. For instince, no one cares what you think about Mississippi State football, no matter how big of a fan you may be(Hint: Fan is short for FANATIC). People only care about big, nationwide topics. Such topics like the Yankees or Patriots. People really do not care what your opinoin is they just want to know you have one so you can chime in thoughts and concerns in workplace conversations.
The same idea applies here at this blog. My goal in this blog is to throw out thoughts, ideas and observations and ask for my readers to give me comments. I don't care whether they are positive or negitive, i just want a response! So as long as this blog survives-i expect comments! I will blog on Tuesday & Friday, except on holidays and probably not on spring break. EVERY Tuesday & Friday, mark it on your calenders, make an alarm on your cell, or find a way that works for you but you will want to remember this blog before you lay your head down to bed. More on me personally, i wouldn't want to give away everything in one post...so now for the topic of today:
Ever heard of the expression or phrase "Good from far, but far from good"? If not, here's the explanation. If there is a girl from aways away and on first glance she looks nice but as you see her closer you realize you were dead wrong b/c she isn't as attractive as you first pictured. Maybe her teeth are yellow, or she's wearing 7 inches of MaryKay, the reason doesn't matter, you were very wrong about this chick and next time you will not be so quick on the draw. So that same process happened to me today at my 8am sociology 101 class. I'm sitting down near the door and this girl walks in and she looked very pretty. but later as a i had to introduce myself through a class excersize, I fount out my observation to be dead false. I'm not going to hate on her publically but she wasn't a dime...or a penny. So my judgement feels questioned and rightfully so b/c these types of problems occur more often than not. Stories and comments would be appreciated .
