Whether anything is playing or not through my headphones when I'm either walking across campus or jogging around the track people tend to ignore me. That can be a good thing or a bad thing. I tend to enjoy not having to engage in trite pleasantries. Something tells me that's the natural man talking, though. A few semesters ago President Clark in a devotional said that we should be more social as we walk from here to there. So, I try to keep a proper balance. I still walk with earbuds in listening to podcasts but I also make eye contact, smile, and greet folks as I can. How about you?Currently on a quest to create 365 blogs entries in a single year. While I've already failed in the time period specified I'm still going to complete my goal, eve if it's late. Son of Delmar and Sharon Derricott of Preston, Idaho.

I can't stand to listen to stuff while I am walking... I need to hear what is going on around me so no serial killers can sneak up and get me!
I can hear Josh and Chuck AND the would-be serial killers!
