TGIF

Well I meant to end the year talking about how we are all going into the world eyes open. But then I got in a car crash with my girlfriend and decided that I should try and find sociology in that because it's fresh. That also why this post is late.

I want to talk about the crowd dynamics at a crash and maybe point at what sociologically imaginations they are? The main thing I noticed, although I was TERRIBLY dazed, was that the main reaction was annoyance. And that was disappointing because someone could've been hurt. So I guess not everyone presumes all crashes are bad crashes, but all crashes are just more stuff in my way. It's atrociously selfish and I kinda wish more sociologically mindful people had been present instead of the one man who called 911 for us. So yeah, that's my little rant. Next time you drive by a crash I don't even care if you're looking out of morbid curiosity, but don't get annoyed that the potential loss of human life kept you in traffic for an extra 15 minutes. Who knows, that 15 minutes could save YOUR life. Enjoy your weekend.
