sports and friends...

Also... I'm realizing something here....

An interest in sports does not imply that your stupid....
it does suggest how social you are, and you 'define' yourself.


A guy who's into NewYork Mets, grew up in New York.
Loving the mets is a social thing. It shows how to connected to
the guys around you, and how much of 'just one of the guys' you were.
If you were not 'one of the guys' but a nerd sitting the library,
or playing a computer game by yourself, you would not 'like' the
new york mets or any other sports team.

If you like a sports team, and dislike the opposing team, shows
you level of socialization.

Nerds/Geeks are an abused/bullied folk, and HATE the regular
people that bullied them. These 'regular folk' are sports fans,
you are not 'of their group', and therefore you do not define yourself
as a sports fan.

If this is true, then I should be able to predict how many friends
you have on facebook based on how interested a guy is in sports.
erm....

Just questions...

Psychopaths and Sociopaths don't have insecurities... why?
Fear of social rejection seems to be an evolutionarily valid... doesn't seem to be related to a persons ability to feel empathy. And insecurities doesn't seem to relate directly to any emotion.

Personalization....

You come to a place you've never been before. Someone lived here before. Not you.
You know this place is not yours because none of your stuff is in this place. So you put your stuff in this place, and it becomes your place. Your stuff...

You take stuff from somewhere, and put it somewhere else. Get a delivery truck to transport stuff from where it used to be, to where you want it to be. You get to decide where to put this stuff so that makes it your stuff. And now this new place is yours because you put your stuff in your place.

REALLY? Is that all there is to personalization....?
