i do

im going to be totally honest.

i judge books by their covers. 

literally and figuratively. 

whenever im in a bookstore or library and i dont have a particular book in mind, i select the books i pull from the shelves by how attractive their spine is.

it may the the colour, the size or the words that attract me but i leave everything to the first impression that the book gives me. 

isnt it much like how life is in general. 

people work so hard to make a good first impression on people the want to, well, impress. 

you would never look gross and sloppy to a job interview or a first date or a big meeting or first time meeting the parents or whatever else matters to you. 

i dont believe in love at first sight. 

thats just stupid.

but i do believe in LIKE at first sight. 

theres a big difference. 

people who say that they dont judge people by the way they look are just plain phony.

seriously, when youre walking down the street and you pass by a complete stranger, do you automatically think, " oh my gosh, that guy has such a great personality. " or, " oh man, check out the personality in that one. " 

NO.

you look at the smile, the eyes, the clothes, the shoes, the ring finger, whatever. 

unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, humans do not have the power to decipher a human being in mere minutes no matter how hard the look into the " window to the soul. "

i look and if like what i see i open the book . 

i might get to the not so attractive books later on when i find that the ones ive picked up are trash. 

but if you really think about it, things are attractive to you for a reason.

if it doesnt attract you at first glance, and still you try to persue it, it just doesnt stay interesting enough. 

check this guy out. maybe hes judging me by my cover.
