The snow collects the good with the bad, as can be seen when it melts. This blog is my snow, holding onto my experiences.

"I dare you to move..." <'Dare You to Move,' by Switchfoot>
"..go the distance..." <'Go the Distance,' by Michael Bolton>
"you've got to keep on moving" <'Break My Stride,' possibly Blue Lagoon>

I am too easily won over.  I am quick to judge, but usually, I give people the benefit of the doubt.  The example that sticks out the most to me is a co-worker.  She seems like a total fake- speaking in baby-talk to other women, yet complaining in the next breath... I can't pinpoint it exactly, but there's just something about her that grates me.  And then she offers me a piece of cake, exclaiming "I always have to give you the first piece!"  I don't even have to go to the kitchen for it.  I thought guys were more driven by their stomachs.  Then, I feel wishy-washy for changing my opinion of her.  How can anyone apparently so considerate be as two-sided as I sometimes detect?  But you know what?  What does my opinion matter?  I like to think that I know people, even parts they don't overtly share.  If she were running for some office, I could cast my vote, but other than that, what does it really matter?  Who cares if I 'accurately' define or perceive the 'real' her?  On the other hand, the things that bother me the most in other people are usually things I don't like in myself.

Great songs. Judging people is a dangerous game, I try to stay out of it

thanks!
and judging isn't a game I want to play, it's something deeply embedded in me that I'm trying to get over.

Erin, je pense que vous êtes conduit par votre estomac autant que, si pas plus que les gars ! Aussi, essayer de ne pas rentrer vider transmis encore ! ! Oh, et quant à votre autre déclaration, je pense seulement dans les certains secteurs vous sont incolore, autrement vous êtes têtu.

Amber, je consens de mon estomac. Aussi loin que la voiture- je garderai ma bouche a fermé. Que signifiez-vous par sans couleur?

Hey Erin, I think I know what you mean, and I usually chalk it up to a sort of inconsistency in someone's behavior. It's pretty easy for me to see motivations of people too, though a drop off in my ability to read people has coincided with my more introverted self the past few years. I try not to draw conclusions about people, and giving the benefit of the doubt (unless someone is repeatedly and blatantly lying to you!)is a great cure for judging.

As an aside, 'break my stride' was a one-hit-wonder by Matt Wilder:)

Reply to Greg:
thanks for the Matt Wilder bit. I knew there was an original version, and now I know who to really credit!

and thanks for your perspective on reading ppl/ giving them the benefit of the doubt. While it takes faith to trust someone, people generally live up to (or attempt to) your views of them, especially if you're not selling them short!
