People Watching..... Everyones Favorite Sport

Hey y'all, I am about to share with you my new favorite hobby and how I spend almost my entire college career outside of the swimming pool. PEOPLE WATCHING, holy fucking fucks it is honestly the most entertaining thing to me since that one idiot got hit by the ice cream truck crip walking in the middle of traffic, if y'all haven't caught that shit i'll link it in the bottom. For those first time viewers just know, the dude lives and is featured on Tosh. But okay okay, back to the thing that everyone loves but no one will admit how much they love it cause they don't have the character to just tell everyone how much they actually love watching everyone elses life unfold before them. 

So I go to college in Stevens Point, WI. Not a huge school, but big enough that every once in awhile you will catch a new person that never has caught your eye before so it keeps the look out fresh enough. Now just for everyones discretion, people watching can turn into people judging or people envying very quickly if you let it. Although this might be the case for plenty of people and is perfectly normal, but just remember that this door swings both ways and someone could easily be looking at you thinking all sorts of imperfections that basically end in the moral of you having the face for radio or that your hair stylist and clothing stylist are both actually Hellen Keller. ALSO, note that if you are infact people watching alone and are quite oblivious with your constant eye contact you looking like a fucking creep. <---------- IMPORTANT 

So when I people watch I like to surround myself with a group of people that are semi visually appealing and who aren't completely obnoxious and oblivious 24/7, this also presents you as an easy target for you to be seen staring down every idiot walking by. Now when you do notice something that may strike you as odd or something you wanna stare at for a long period of time, please refrain from holding eye contact for anymore then 2 or 3 seconds until you are presented with another situation that allows your eyes to behold the sheer awesomeness that caught your attention in the first place. My favorite has always been catching really awkward eye contact with a girl you were just checking out, deer in the mother fucking headlights. This isn't such a big deal if you are good looking and have a chance with this girl (aka not me nor will it ever) so just keep that in mind before you eye fuck some girl and you look like Andy Milanokis. 

Now I realize that all you people out there reading this are probably thinking about how little this entry makes sense about the topic or art of people watching but honestly I can't generate thoughts well enough in a constant sense to get a full post that flows like a paper, and I am not about to take notes during the day about things I see because Weezy doesn't take notes and neither do I. So I hope everyone enjoys this little slice of people watching and my scatter brain. Go fuck yourself San Diego. 

Catch y'all later, Alex

Heinz sight isn't always 20/20.

Good evening guys, now don't worry I'm not about to open with some lame ass joke about today being the New Year. On that note though, my biggest problems with those jokes is that there are really only 5 different jokes that people put a spin on and try to make their own clever version but its really just recycled garbage that people put on Twitter or Facebook to try and get a lot of likes and act like they made it their own. But that isn't what I came here to write about. What I wanna talk about is the act of looking into the future and how I see establishing different set goals and expectations.

Goals are something that define everyone and make a life worth living, I think goals are some of the most important things that we as humans can do and really should be something everyone should have. It doesn't matter if you have 1 goal or a thousand, a goal is something that steers you towards something bigger and give your life a direction. With the New Year upon us, everyone has their "resolutions" that they tell themselves that have to be accomplished in order to consider their year a success. I don't think this is a healthy way of living a life. Setting expectations for yourself is a very thin line that people often walk, and I don't see it as a bad thing to have them. But expectations can often lead to disappointment and self doubt when you don't conquer the expectation you set yourself. Your life should never be lived in the "have to" attitude, instead "I want" is a much more realistic way of approaching a goal. Want and desire are the most important things that help to conquer a goal you set for yourself. When you put yourself in the "have to" attitude, you start leading yourself to the "What if" thoughts. "What if" thoughts create mass amounts of stress that put you in a position to fail because putting stress on your body dampers your being and is a massive set back.

No one can avoid stress forever, but a simple change in mindset is one of the biggest things a person can do to succeed in the goals they set. If you have the simple want and desire to be the person your goals say you wanna be. Then do it, don't make an excuse one day and take a day off because "it's just one day." One day leads to a week or a month and before you know it you're thinking to yourself "What if I didn't take that day off" and it leads to disappointment in yourself and that leads to self doubt when you wanna set another goal. I often times catch myself saying things that would categorize myself as a "big talker." But each day I do everything in my power to make that goal a reality. And guys I absolutely mean it when I say that when you reach an ultimate goal that you set for yourself, or even a goal that maybe you thought was going to be a struggle, the feeling is to great to put into words. My ultimate goal my freshmen year was to win conference individually, and when I put that goal behind me and won an event at conference I cried. I got out of the pool walked over to the cool down lanes sat down and cried. A self victory makes a life worth living, and thats exactly what I want this post to try and tell you. Go out there and get what you want, it is always worth it in the end.

See Y'all later, Alex
