The Smirk Face

You know what I enjoy about people, and more specifically - white people - when a song that they like comes on, they get the smirk face. Let me explain.

The smirk face has a little bit of the eyebrows furrowed so that there are wrinkles on the top of your forehead. Then there is the move of one side (only one) of your lip towards your cheek. Then, there is the head bobbing (kind of like a titled head nodding yes). Try this move right now. Pretty interesting, huh?

Now if you're thinking that nobody does this - you are wrong. In fact, you probably have done this. Many of you would be doing this right now if "Bump, Bump, Bump" by B2K came on. You pretend that you don't know what I'm talking about, but you do. I tried to point this out one time back in college, only to a mixed reaction of laughs and airplane bottles of Jaeger being pelted at me.

I didn't say anything was wrong with it, I just said I enjoyed it. People tend to assume that you are making fun of them more than commending them. I think it's great people have passion and umph for their music. It shows that you still have blood running through those veins. It's really the reserved people that bother me - I mean I'm all about staying stoic sometimes, but if you're like that all the time, it doesn't mean that you're some sort of cool, mysterious, mature being. It means you're unhappy. Unhappy people are the ones that trick themselves into thinking they are "cool" because they don't give into these things - Facebook, dancing, giving someone the fist pound.

My first bit of advice on the blog. Do something weird and crazy every once in a while, but make it like mayoanaise or butter. Spread it out, don't glob it all on at once or people won't be able to to stomach it, but do take the time once in a while to be a bit crazy, energetic, or weird so that if nothing else, you can gauge other people's reactions.
