awkward

isn't it awkward that some things are only awkward after you say the situation is awkward?

This is probably more common for guys. but sometimes when guys greet each other, say bye, or just finished a pick up game, someone hasta throw everyone off by giving a fist bump pound instead of a quick cool hand shake. So.. ur goin in for a hand shake, then u see the guy reveal a fist.. so you quickly switch to a fist also, but right before u make contact, they switch to an open hand.. and then u just make the most awkward hand covering a fist contact shake, like ur playing rock, paper, scissors. 

It's kinda similar when people in basketball do this weird forearm wrist bump. it's jus weird. keep it to a simple hand slap. It kinda reminds me of that one friend everyone has, who is just too eager to get high fives after everything that's really not that exciting. But maybe it's not a bad thing to be overly excited about small things? Occasionally when you agree on things high fives are innate. but then u make a really bad high five, which jus looks dumb if u hafta do it twice to get it right. I also noticed that in hawaii, it's normally to greet ppl with a half hug, but in the mainland.. people don't really do that. and the whole side kiss on the cheek throws me off too. So there's a lot of people who would prefer no contact when saying hello or goodbye.. but then u run into another person who doesn't initiate any contact either. so you kinda both jus take steps back and wave bye, lol. 

Did you ever wonder why yawning is contagious? I googled it and it said it hasta do something with your use of empathy and suggestibility. even jus reading or thinking about yawning can cause you to yawn.

Did you know 18-35% of people have a photic sneeze reflex. It has something to do with a change in light intensities that makes you sneeze. happens to me all the time. also.. who the heck figures out it's 18-35%? did you know 58% of statistics are made up? But u believe it and forget it anyway.

I remember an old friend telling me to say cabbage or cabbages right before u sneeze, u know when u make that weird "Im about to sneeze so get out of my way face?" It's supposed to make u stop. but if you're too late u look stupid blurting out a loud "CABBAHAHCHOOGES!" Internet also said other words work well too like pineapples or watermeleon, mayonnaise? I think any fruit or word might work.

Also! Have u ever had that situation where you sneeze really bad in public. But u catch it in your hands before it sprays like a febeze? And then you think to yourself.. im stuck in a situation where there's no napkins, or sink to wash my hands. So you do what everyone else does, wait a little bit and then whip it on your pants. I think it's funny jus seeing other people do that.

You know what's weird? .. hiccups. I have no idea why i'm blogging this stuff..

I learned that i have lots of ideas, aspirations, and good intentions. but i jus never get around to doing them. I'm the guy who writes down a list of things to do, and doesn't do any of them. i swear this couch is a black hole.
