video ho
We were talking about Ludacris last night, and I was reminded of some of the awesome videos of the earlier (than now) 2000's. Ludacris- Stand Up starts things up. A classic with the line "it feels like a midget is hangin from my necklace." And there is, in the video at least. Missy's Get Ur Freak On, next sweet video. She's nuts, I love it. And of course the one that mesmerized me when It came on TV a while back- Put your hands where my eyes can see by Busta Rhymes. Can't find a good video on youtube.......tear.

hiatus over
Not that I expect anyone to read this except myself, but I am trying to get myself into some sort of discipline. So I'm back in action.
I am working on a theory- a couple of theories actually, but I can't remember them all right now- that I will try to address here.
Theory 1-
The "I-like-to-look" effect.
In high school there were was this guy who was not especially attractive when you first looked at him, but over time it became accepted that he was. I felt this way as well as some other friends, so I wondered why it is that we came to find him attractive. Here it is.
He has an interesting face, so interesting that you keep looking at it. You kinda want to figure out what's going on in over there, so you keep looking. And the more you look, the more familiar you become with it. At this point I was taking a psychology class in which we discussed the fact that the more familiar you are with something the more attractive you find it. So I don't really know if I can take credit for this 'theory' (groundbreaking, I know)- but I applied it to the mysteries of high school romance. So an interesting face may be more successful than a straight-up classic pretty face because you'll have more of an audience. If you know they're pretty, looking more won't tell me anything I don't already now- but if there's something unique going on...... chances are it'll grow on you.
