Whoo! I just spent four days straight working on papers and studying for a test I took today.

Which means that (tonight at least) I am free!

heck yeah, suckas!

People and their engagements.

Why is it that, at 20, it feels like so many of my peers are getting hitched? And, beyond this, why do so many of them seem really naive at their relationships?

I don't know what to think, because, truly, I really just want my friends and family to... you know.. be happy and all that shizz. But, then again, how do you know whether or not to say something, you know? I guess I really can't say anything, or else I am being the douche that thinks he knows how to be in relationship better than his pals... and I really don't want to be a nonrecommended vagina cleaner, thank you very much.


...I come highly recommended. XD

Yep. It happened. I knew it had to sometime, and it makes sense that it would happen with Raditude.

Terrible. Just a terrible album. First off, they aimed to make a pop album, which, in my opinion, is setting your sights really low. And, then they failed at making a good pop album like their other one, Make Believe.

It is the blandest record I have heard in a long time. Not to mention the fact that they ruined two awesome songs with their blandness: "Can't Stop Partyin' " (Lil' Wayne... really?) and "I Don't Want To Let You Go."

So, yeah, hella lame. Glad I didn't buy the album. There are two good songs on it, though they never reach the quality of old favorites (things like "Say It Ain't So" or "Pink Triangle") or new awesomes ("Pork and Beans" and "the Angel and the One"); they are "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To" and "Put Me Back Together". The rest of it, by my standards, is better left forgotten.


The thing is, I don't want what other Weezer geeks seem to. I don't want them to return to their old shizz. The Red Album was this ridiculously cool beacon of what they were about. It was a bit rough, but it was them being themselves: rock stars getting close to forty, not mid twenties geeks with no one to love them. I want them to sing real shit, not Raditude.

Why is it we are so hung up on understanding/ being right? If someone does something we don't understand, we seem to automatically assume it is wrong. We look for technicalities, quotes, definitions, whatever to prove our point even though so many things don't affect us in the slightest.

What made me think of this? http://tinyurl.com/yca9phq

Man oh man, the quotes from those comments.


It is not your place to interpret God, dumbass. Who the hell are you to be so vain, so damn arrogant? Besides, your God is very clearly different than mine or Chaz's, so shut the f**k up. I don't want to be under your lord's foot if he so much of a dick to make people that are uncomfortable in their own bodies and then judge them for it.
Also, dipshit, what do you make of infertile men? Castrated men? Cross gender men? Do you see how the line is much too vague to make these kind of judgments?
   

Well, in terms of psychology, gender is a cultural and personal interpretation and sex is the biological assignment. But, really, my problem with this thinking is that it really appears that the commenter doesn't seem to care that much with a person making this choice and instead makes the point that if you feel this way, their is something wrong with you.
I disagree. I do believe we should encourage people to be as comfortable with their bodies and selves as they can, But, if they cannot be ok with themselves, no amount of therapy is going to change that.
Don't judge them for their want to change; it is their body, their life. Not yours.


So, yeah, the moral of the story? If it doesn't affect you, you really have no room to talk. Your beliefs, your ideas, and your predispositions (whatever!) are yours. You wouldn't want someone else dissecting and judging your decisions, so why do you feel it is right to jump down others people's throughts?

Oh, and if you want to pull shit out of your ass and say I am being a hypocrite and I am the one judging, I don't care. I already know I'm not going to change people's minds if they don't want to change. I just refuse to not say something.

I recently heard about the pageant in Hungary where every contestant was required to have had plastic surgery. My thoughts? A bit weird, but, her, whatever floats your boat.

Apparently, though, others don't really have this point of view. It seems that we as a culture look down on plastic surgery as "unnatural". We believe in "natural" beauty and being comfortable with one's self.

Yeah right.

If we were really concerned with being comfortable with ourselves, why would we give one damn about someone else's decision to modify their body? If that is what it takes to make them comfortable in their own skin, then that is their choice to make, not ours to judge.

We sit here and tell people to be comfortable with themselves and to embrace their natural beauty, and, yet, we still judge others for not wearing the right things or having their hair the wrong way. We shun those that choose to change a physical part of themselves in order to be happy. We trivialize their feelings because they are not our own (or they are our own, but we are too cowardly to make that kind of change). We tell them there is something with how they see themselves when all we see is their "fakeness".

I will stand forever on the side of encouraging people to embrace their bodies, but I am no fool. I know that, for most of us, this is almost impossible in our society. Personally, I wish I was skinnier, fitter, with better teeth and skin. But, you know what? I am cool with working towards those things because they are things within my control. I am lucky for that. Some aren't. I would ask that we be courteous and not hypocritical when we point our fingers at others, but, then again, we are f**king human and we have typical human bulls**t tendencies. So, whatever.
