Decepetion

hi my name is _____ bAm! first impression imprinted in your mind [ten thousand syllogisms rushing at light-speed whoosh--->>>conclusion--->>first impression] i have decided that first impression is actually just another term for deception. no-one ever corresponds in reality to the first impression that suddenly creates itself in your mind (at least i can't think of any example). now when i met Jane*, i thought "whoa, she looks so artistic, she must think deeply about life and the cosmos, we'll have a common understanding of the world" and on and on first impressions involve assumption...i assumed based on her bright hippy skirt and funky hair that Jane* had unique thought processes to correspond to her funky clothes. time wore on...we spent time talking... once, lying on a blanket reading in the grass together on a lazy fall afternoon, watching the clouds glide over us...i waited and waited and waited to hear something, anything of depth...a year and then a year and a half...what i kept waiting for a manifestation of never revealed itself... was it ever there? i just don't know... i think my original syllogism was flawed in that BASED on her clothes or her looks, she would be a certain way in reality...but she wasen't

what is your cultural backround that makes you such an astute observer?

ergo sum,

Yeah Yeah.. Blah blah "studying human behavior, being exposed to a diversity of cultural and situational contexts, and maybe being an astute thinker." Blah Blah.. How about just A. Being Human B. Having a pulse? Or must we all pose as a pompous,pretentious, know-it-all douche? I mean honestly, is this how you carry on an everyday conversation? Give me a break..
