First Impression.

I'm a bit teary-eyed tonight. I stayed up late to watch Blood Diamond, and it was just as good as Oprah said it was! I finished up my training to become a server at a local restaurant in town as well. It was such a long week of training, studying, testing, and just establishing that paramount first impression for my new employer. I'm looking forward to it actually, I've been so anti-social lately. I guess it hasnt been a negative anti-social though. I've been very introspective...
Anywho, the whole week got me thinking about the impression that one gives off. That "factor" that helps your heart know whether a person is good or bad, friendly, or charismatic. I think that with the right mindset, one can really hone the power of impression, and have full control over the characterisics of the personality that one puts on display. The more i think about it, it really does matter what people think. Why? Because they think what you want them to think. Now don't get me wrong, it can be a losing battle, you vs. the world. That's why the first impression is SO important. So who am I, at the very beginning. What first impression do i most often choose to give off? I choose to be infinitely positive, and i like to intimidate a person to show off their best demeanor. I like to be funny in unconventional ways, especially in the beginning. Hm...what else. I like to be a bit insecure, but always confident in my insecurity, and I like to make people excited about things to come.
I guess this post was a bit more for myself, rather than the reader, but those who read might just learn a bit more about me. Perhaps you'll even ask yourself about the impression that you choose to give off. Whether or not you work on portraying differing ways of adapting, things like that. I think that's all i got.

Blood Diamond was good.

the first impression I usually try to exude to people is simply this:
