I have heard of people blogging their existence, and have even secretly read a few of them. These people do not really know that I am reading them, but I have always had a curiosity with how and why people do what they do, and have always been curious why they think the way they do as well. The psychology of people has always intrigued me.
I have always been a people watcher. Its funny to me, cause I am fairly acute to recognizing faces that I have seen before, and I tend to remember when and where I met them more times than not. Brittney sometimes gets perturbed when we watch movies and I will recognize an actor that is not commonly known, and whisper in her ear which movie that person has been in previously. She really could care less, cause to her the actor is playing a role and she wants to believe in the current acting going on. Me on the other hand, I don't consciously do it. Either way, I believe it to be a good trait. Now there are side effects to this particular trait. I can never remember names, even when I just barely met the person. I don't mean to do it on purpose, but there are certain items I pay close attention to when meeting somebody. If its a male or man, the first thing I notice is his hand shake. Does he have a firm grip? Does he place his hand in a neutral position (straight up and down), or does he open up or close your hand? These subtle differences really do say a lot about a person. An individuals posture would be the second behavior I notice when I meet them. I personally have good posture and have been teased about it since I was a young boy, but it really doesn't bother me. I always wanted to be taller than I currently was, and so I would stand as tall as I could. Now if my chest sticks out because of that, so be it. My chest sticks out. It doesn't mean that I think I'm better, it simply means I am confident in my own abilities, and really what is the problem in that. I will leave that subject for a later blog. I have plenty to say about that. Sorry for the tangent, but after noticing the grip and posture I normally scan the face, eyes, hair, teeth, mouth, eyebrows, cheek bones, etc. I am not analyzing or being critical of everyone I meet, I just so happen to notice differences in people which has helped me in my recognition of people, that's all. I can see how that can be misinterpreted, but I would have to say that I am a very misinterpreted person.
I was called an Alpha-male this weekend and to be honest it bothered me. Now I am a Leo, which are the epitome of Alpha-male's, but I'm not a pureblood Leo. True, I like to be in charge of certain functions, I am a self motivated individual, I have an intense passion for things that I hold close to me, but I have another side to me that isn't always recognized by my peers. Only my closest and aged friends fully understand this side to me. I have to admit I hold a little animosity toward those who are quick to label me, or even those who I think mislabel me. These are all subjects I would love to spill my thoughts about. Who knows, maybe I might gain a closer friend because of this. They might see why I do some things that I do. Maybe I'll offend someone. I hope not, but by worrying about that would defeat the purpose of my blog wouldn't. Well there is my initial entry. I am actually excited to be writing about this. I am not going to tell anyone about the blog, maybe it will be stumbled upon, or possibly spread through word of mouth, who knows. Until next time.
