The ability to laughrather than weep upon seeing one's accurate reflection.
Paul awoke the morning of his 60th birthday and examined his face closely in the mirror. Laughing wryly at the sight, he vowed never to perform that act again. Observational humor, in this case, only went so far.
One being dubbed a "racist" because they told others of negative personal experiences that support negative stereotypes what they saw or experienced first hand while experiencing a culture or race in person.
The University's "Harmony Club" accused me of being a racist , because I told them about the fact I have been mugged once, been carjacked once, and stabbed twice, and bad experiences seem to happen only when I was in the Slobobian part of town.
I then observed that perhaps there is an inherent problem with Slobobian culture or lifestyle that makes them prone to violence against others, particularly non-Slobobians.
This would make me an Observational Racist, since it was my personal observation of my negative experience that was deemed racist.
The period of time when you’re casually fucking a guy you used to date, and you’re assessing whether or not he has the emotional capacity to potentially be in a relationship with again, and if you even want to try to be anything other than friends who have great sex rock out and celebrate life a couple times a month. Also, it’s so much fucking fun and you don’t want that to stop or change so it’s an excellent way to maximize the fun, to stretch out the observation period. This amount of time is unspecified. Most likely lasts as long as it takes for one of the parties involved to freak out.
Michael, I didn’t say I wanted you to be my boyfriend?! This is still the observation period, I’m observing you, and you are observing me too, really.
An initial observation is the measurement that you take before you start any process that might cause a change. When you compare your subsequent observations with the initial one, you will see whether any change has taken place, and you will be able to measure the change.
The coach's Initial observation to his players will help him find out about the strengths and weaknesses of his players.
When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
