If People Watching Were A Profession, I Would Be A Professional.

If you ruin hats by flipping the brim up, you are one of two things. A) A dumbass. or B) A dumbass. Seriously, whoever thought that it was a good idea to do that, is woefully wrong. It's easily one of the stupidest things I have seen people sport in public. I realize that people are now embroidering words and gang signs on the undersides of hats, but that doesn't make it any more acceptable. People also write things on the inside of a zipper, but that doesn't mean we leave our pants unzipped. You could think of it more as a little treat for you to notice. And maybe whoever takes your pants, and/or hat off. Most days, I have to question if people look in the mirror before they leave the house. I am confident that there is no possible way that they could look at themselves and think, Yeah. This looks good. This is what I am going to wear on my own free will. I am confident that if you did not get dressed in the dark, you would not have worn what you did. I think that this is where I beat the system. Everyone scoffed at me all winter for wearing shorts non stop. Which I don't even care. I am just way more comfortable in shorts than in pants. Sue me. But, on any given day, you could see me, and I will be wearing the same thing. Not, the same clothes. I take care of my personal hygiene issues. But, you wouldn't look at me and think, damn, Jake really didn't bother getting ready today. Because I wear whats comfortable every day. Whether I am feeling lazy, or like a million dollars, I will be wearing a band shirt, shorts, a hat, and the same pair of Nike's I always do. And I do it so often, that I don't even have any other clothes that are uncomfortable. Well, I do have one pair of pants. But, meh. I have worn those once this year. I am not saying everyone should wear what I do, cause I have basically patented it. What I am saying, is that people should honestly think about how they dress before entering a public setting. I think on top of that, people should really reconsider their actions in public as well. I am a professional people watcher. There are times when I will just gladly sit and watch people. Everyone is so weird. Myself included. But, more especially in a long class. I have a history class that is an hour and fifteen minutes. And some of the kookiest shit goes on. The other day, there was a girl that had a huge box of Cheese-its during class. And amid snacking away, she was also lining them up on her desk. I don't know if there were letters on them and she was playing scrabble with herself, all I know is, it was the oddest damn thing I have witnessed in a classroom. Not only that, she was on the very front row. I almost walked up and slapped her upside her head and asked what she was thinking, but I knew the answer. She is weird and wasn't thinking at all. In the same class, I was sitting behind someone who was writing a diary entry during class. Here's the thing, I am all about privacy, but if you do private things in public, it gives me full right to observe. So what did I do? I read over her shoulder, of course. She was writing about someone breaking up and other stuff. She had bad handwriting and was writing in cursive so I just filled in some blanks on my own. Something about a dinosaur stealing Lucy's pizza, and then she chased it to Preston's apartment and found him in bed with the pope. I don't know, this girl must be pretty depraved. I am not the kind of guy that goes in and reads your personal thoughts and feelings if your journal is by your bedside or whatever, but cm'on. You're in class. You aren't fooling anyone. No one takes history notes in a hardback book that says diary. Well, I shouldn't say no one, but, I would say most people. I would not by any means say that I am the measuring stick for normal, and people should mimic my actions if they don't want to be perceived as weird. But, I at least have the decency to have some sort of public manners. You inbreds.
