FACES

...the Usual...Kobei...

So when you wake up in the morning, what face do you put on?

We are who we are. We look in the mirror every morning and see ourselves as we are.....and know the day that we are going to have... and know the lifestyles that we live and know the things that we do and how we are going to do them... This is our lives and our personalities. We know, but does anyone else know... True that some people know us better that other, but even the closest of friends..... closest of family... sometimes don't know the psyche of an individual... we are not mind readers. Saying that, for the most part, people are people and when we meet other people, usually we gather a lot on first impressions. Usually that's when all the judgments are made.... so put on your game faces...that's the point. If in society, everyone judges on the surface, then people obviously have a tendency to put on a face they want people to see..... nobody wants to see the pajama wearing, shower singing, farting around the house you... but why not... What's really being presented out there?

People are different in crowds than they are alone.... Does this make it a good thing that they are only nice to people they want to be... Some people are just asses and they put on their Goody-goody face when there's not so many people around to show off to.... What if it were the opposite... what of the genuinely nice people that we meet.. are they just real pricks alone.....actually Hmmmm.

I was told tonight... "Balance" Maybe that's what keeps us all level and away from all the judgments...

But it is natural to make judgments on people who are so pre-concerned on their looks.... it is hard for me not to judge... am I a hater...YES!!!! not because I want to be, just because I cant help it... Do I do the same things myself and have these insecurities like the others I judge.. for sure... but what I see, are people looking at themselves and how they fit into this world so intently that they don't see the world at all.... I don't see it. I forget to open my eyes sometimes. I forget to feel the tips of my fingers in the air.... I judge.... myself or the world around me???
Which ever way I look at it, we all have our game days and we come out wearing our colors... our faces green, blue, yellow...... our faces clear, pale, dry.... or with just our face by itself... What's to be said about first impressions....

So when I wake up in the morning... I see the mirror... and I see staring back....
