Kent

He comes to work dressing like a superstar with all the latest technology.  He comes using his latest kindle Fire as if he trying to show off to everyone that he has the newest technology. He also comes to work dressing very nice as if hes a superstar. It seems like he’s an inspiring male model. While everyone has headphones at work, he comes with a HBS-500 Bluetooth headset. I also assume he has chosen a Bluetooth headset to show that he doesn’t depend on having the same type of headphones everyone else have; hes very unique. The best part of him looking fly is that his nice shape of cornrow hairstyle, keeps him looking fresh and well handsome. It looks like hes enjoying life. I assume that the money he made over the years helped him to afford these nice latest gadgets and  very well expensive clothes.

      According to this topic, First of all I should mention the place where I am right now because every day I wear different outfit. Assuming I’m coming from the college siting on the train and using my laptop, the person might not think that I’m actually coming from college because I look small like a high school student. On other hand, she probably thinks I’m a very hard working person using laptop on the train to finish my work early or I’m too lazy to finish it later. Supposing she’s looking at my shoes she might assume that I’m really cold because I always wear knee high boots.  Additionally, I like to do makeup almost everyday so that person could think I focus on beauty more than education. By looking at my phone she can thinks I’m rich  because it is an expensive phone or maybe broke cause broke people show off a lot. More over, some people might think Im very nice and welcoming person because I give a smile when I talk and make eyes contact.However, they might think i’m evil and fake  cause evil people look innocent too.

As I sit across the table from this person, my initial assumptions about him are that he’s very kind but also very busy. I take note of the way he’s dressed and base my ideas off of that. He seems determined and goal orientated. He’s wearing a heavy jacket and a hat so he may be cold. He seems to be either a business man or a student but but doesn’t really look like someone who spends his nights out on the streets. His technology tells me that he enjoys it but I note that he doesn’t touch his phone very often so I can assume he’s not addicted to it. He seems to be very content in his direction and with himself. Alas, this is only an external perspective. Maybe I should speak to him.

He’s wearing Nike down to the sweatpants, that’s because he has Jordan’s on his feet. The fact that it’s a rainy day and he has on the “For the Love of the Game” Jordan 7’s tells me he thinks he’s too good for everyone. He’s also wearing a superdry coat which tells me he’s into the latest fashion. His hair is not cut and the line up is not on fleek so that tells me he’s either careless or hasn’t had time to go to the barbershop. I doubt he’s careless because he keeps trying to brush his hair straight although it is not doing anything. Although I do understand if he hasn’t had time because he looks like he’s on his was to school with his big Steve Madden book bag and he still looks sleepy as you can see in his lazy eyes. His face is so serious this morning, he must be a mean person or he just wants to get the day over with.

The subject appears to be avoiding eye contact with everyone on this train, a smart move indeed, as the subways in New York City are known to be crawling with odd ducks; who make it a priority to engage in unwarranted and extremely uncomfortable discussions with anyone who even looks in their general direction.  Not to mention he appears to be completely entranced by the book He’s reading. I’m noticing every few pages or so he’s smirking, gently chuckling to himself, highlighting, carefully underlining and annotating in the aforementioned book. He seems to be enjoying himself quite a bit. Upon further examination, I can see that he keeps taking breaks to draw in an unmarked black book he seems to be doing graffiti of sorts and based on that observation alone … I take it this guy plays by his own rules and operates on the fringes of the law or he could be a kind yet misunderstood soul, with a very peculiar outlook on the world. I don’t know but either way, this guy seems cool. I could be wrong but I doubt it. Now onto his wardrobe, I’m noticing his jeans are really fitted and pin rolled at the bottom which was a popular 80’s trend amongst the youth of that era and this would explain that vintage / funky old school vibe that I’m picking up off of him. Now, his sneakers are really beat up but I can tell that this is intentional he seems like the type of cat that; if someone were to ask him about the condition of his shoes, he’d say something along the lines of “these shoes tell stories, man!” or something close to that but then again I could be wrong because I barely know the guy.

Sitting on a tall, wooden stool, unable to take his eyes of off his iPhone glued to his hand (probably playing Candy Crush or checking out the latest posts on Instagram), and wearing a pair of tanned joggers that are way too short for his long, lanky legs, this young guy appears to be rather dismal. I assume the reason for his gloomy countenance stems from the devastating result of Super Bowl LI, due to the fact that he’s sports a New York Giants Jersey (boy, was that a tough game). Upon scanning the rest of his outfit, I notice his once immaculate white Converse are now soiled with God knows what (maybe he likes to run around in dirt— hey, I don’t judge… sometimes). And why is his hair all disheveled and kind of resemble a mop? Does this guy have any knowledge of basic hygiene at all? He should at least wear a beanie with the sloppy condition of his hair right now; however, his facial hair seems to be under control for the most part. Shoot, he’s getting up from his seat now… maybe he sensed I was judging him and his so-called “hygiene”.

How he’s asleep looking so stern I will never know, or maybe he’s contemplating whether college is worth it. He has all the signs, as if the decal on his laptop from earlier didn’t give it away. The sleep deprived eyes, from nights of travel and work. The stress induced blood pressure, causing his veins to seemingly jump. The signs of wear on his bag and clothes, he’s been doing it for a while. The scruffy beard and messed up hair, he barely has time for himself. Now he’s on his way home, to do it all again tomorrow. In these few moments of sleep, he’s wondering if these 4 years are worth it in the end. But one thing is for certain, he’s going to get through those years and finish with a smile on his face instead of a stern look like the one he has tonight.

He is wearing a postal uniform, light blue shirt and gray pants, instead of wearing a postal Jacket, he has a black coat which does not really match the Uniform. The way   he is does not really reflect the appearance of a carrier. The expression of his face shows someone who is really tired from the  Job   who does not  have  enough  time  to  work and  has to get  back  on  duty  again.  But at the  same  time, the cleanliness of  his uniform shows proudness of having  a kind  of decent  job , as  a federal  employee with the package  of  benefits  which is  included.

The waterproof coat  his  wearing  shows  readiness for  a cold and rainy day he might be facing, and  he  holds  a pair  of  gloves  to to ensure he  will be on top  of  handling  his stuff.

Sheldon Waite

“He is wearing black jeans pants which probably signifies that he wants to be independent from the people who wear blue jeans. I think he stays up late because every time I see him his eyes are red and puffy. He might be a Mickey Mouse fan because he wears a Mickey Mouse shirt. While most people wear Timberlands, he wears a non-named brand boot to show that he is not like everyone else. His color combinations with his clothes is black and blue. This sight makes me think that he is very masculine considering those colors associate with masculinity.”

Kevin Luna

He is wearing  a Givenchy shirt with some ripped jeans, Lacoste shoes and a chain around his neck on his way to a party in Corona, Queens. They’re in a cab him and his friends, laughing and enjoying life, until its time to leave, they pay the cab driver, they step outside and are tormented by the cold winds, suddenly they all run into a Mexican restaurant trying to figure out the next step, they are looked funny by the restaurants employees but this doesn’t bother him,  his friend gets the address of the party and he meets up with his other friend. They all walk towards the party, in a group no-one is left behind. Once they are in there they are searched by security. He moves with his group, greets people that recognize him. He looks happy and very enthusiastic but he keeps it in silence, he makes sure he knows who’s in the place until its time to let the devil out, the rest is history.  Happy Birthday Kevin His friends yell out, they all proceed to party.
