Who's this guy?

It's the story about the steriotypical struggle of a slightly dense yet dashing, young college student and the day by day trials that come with being a slightly dense yet dashing college student. Full of excitment, drama, and a hobo named Ernie. Each day new surprises that only such a tale can bring, tune in for new updates every week, or month....or whenever. So why am I now entering the wonderful world of blogging? I don't really have much to say. Im not overly opinionated, political minded or preachy. I'm just a big advocate for journal writing and keeping good memories in a place you can find them. Unfortunatly I'm also very lazy so I need to do it in a way that keeps my attention. I figure that telling my thoughts and experiences to the world every once in a while might just do the trick. That's all you need to know so don't expect too much from me, just enough.

Wear it on your sleeve. That's what sleeves are for.

            I find it awkward when people expect you to be able to read them without makeing things somewhat obvious. I like to think I'm not a bad judge of character but I might be a little oblivious when it comes to understanding peoples intensions or expectations. There are many ways that this can be interpreted so I'll give some specific examples (I don't want people to assume I'm only talking about women mind games). So first on the list: women mind games. I don't get how someone can find it fun to mislead someone into thinking that they don't want something that they do. What exactly does that accomplish? Seems a little counter productive to me. If I were to put the time and effort into manipulating someone I would do it to my advantage. It doesn't make sence to hurt your chances but they keep doing it so there must be something to it. Lets think about it for a second. The other day our appartment complex had a pizza party to appologize for our internet problems. Of course I have little control when it comes to eating pizza in moderation. I know it's bad for me so naturally if I want to stop myself from eating a whole one by myself I need to avoid that area at all costs. Unfortunitly I didn't which led me to eat a whole pizza. So if a girl was trying to avoid letting someone know what they really wanted because they knew it would give them diabetes or cancer that would make sence- but they don't avoid them so that theory doesn't work. Me holding and staring at the pizza while not eating it doesn't seem to do anything but submit me to inhuman torture, which isn't attractive to me at all. The next theory is just as ridiculous but at least its plausible. Girls like causing themselves emotional pain because it prevents others from causing them pain instead. Now this can only bring them joy either because it thrills them to steal that gratification from those who could potencialy hurt them or because it thrills them to save others the time and energy they would have wasted trying to hurt them. Illogical? Yes but... yes it's illogical. Stop hurting yourselves.
            Second on the list: Sometimes I'm not sure if guys are saying things because they are trying to piss me off or earn my respect. They are opposite outcomes but can come from different interpretations of the same statment. If I can't tell generally I get frustrated and loose respect anyway so both outcomes are bad. I don't think I should need to ask what they mean. It's as inconvenient as having to explain the punch line of a joke. If you take two extra seconds to think about how to word things right then hopfully you'll get what you want and I don't end up offended, frustrated, confused, or just clueless. If that is too much to ask for just get me a slice of pizza and chances are good I'll forgive you.
