Why would anyone date T-swift?

            In honor of her new CD coming out I have decided to include my rant on this blog:

Okay so seriously have you listened to any of her songs? All she does is bitch about past relationships. Now don’t get me wrong. I like her music – but if I were a guy… she’d be the last person I would want to date. Because I would know for a fact, if I dated her I would at some point end up in a song – likely an unflattering one. That’s not necessarily the way I would like to become famous. Sure she is beautiful and I am sure is a nice loving person - but does  any guy really want to get known as the one who broke her heart... again. No. 

Yet, time and again another dumb boy tries and fails and ends up in yet another hit single. Cool and all - but there is a difference between being famous and infamous. 

Here's a look at one of her songs:

           

Maybe if she came up with a new topic for a songs she would become more dateable….

Halloween

Another excuse to look slutty?

If you go through the womens costumes in any Halloween store you will find one of two things. Either some hideous costume where you have to dress up fully covered head to toe with some felt like fabric that makes you look: fat, five, or prude. OR you have to dress like you are about to “walk a street corner”. It is disgusting, yet for some reason every year we put up with this and put on some costume that either flaunts our stuff or hides it all. Its amazing to me that there is no middle ground. So for now, I boycott Halloween, and instead pass out candy. (On for you, two for me)

p.s. if you don’t believe me just take a look at this website:

Human tetris

If anything can make me laugh it is this:






Silly? yes. Dumb? yeah. Perfect solution to being bored? Most definitely.

There is something about Japanese game shows that is pure perfection - possibly the wonderful execution of physical comedy that can make you laugh so hard your stomach hurts. I hope this brightens your day.

Alone in my thoughts

I recently realized that I am different than most people. I drive in silence. No music, no talking, no nothing. I can drive for extended periods of time, just lost in my thoughts. Although this probably creeps most people out I much enjoy it. It is a great way to decompose from the day and just be still. Too many people have to be rushing all the time. Even in the car they play loud heavy metal music jamming out. No wonder people are so tired all the time. We are constantly going going going - which is why I enjoy my few moments of stillness. I challenge you to drive in silence. Try it out just once, resist the urge to turn on the radio or get on the phone. Just drive and see what happens. You may surprise yourself.

Guilty Pleasures

You know those things, that you secretly love -- but don't necessarily want to shout to the world... Yeah I have a bunch. But today I have decided to share one with you, because well I if I like these things - I shouldn't be embarrassed.

my number one guilty pleasure is.....

Keeping up with the Kardashians
a very overall trashy and useless show that I have gotten sucked into. For some reason despite the fact that I know I am watching trash, I can't help it. It keeps me entertained through the entire show.

So in honor of my guilty pleasure here is an episode, enjoy!:











So remember, own up to your guilty pleasures. You like them for a reason. Don't be afraid to let people see all sides of you.

Dyslexia

My freshman year of COLLEGE, I was diagnosed with dyslexia. 

Yes that was very late in life to be finding out, but I had never been tested before in high school - because well despite being dyslexic I was making good grades. So much so I was 11th in my class - but yet I had to go 18 almost 19 years before finding out something that would have been fairly important to know earlier in life. 

Getting tested for dyslexia was the strangest process I have ever done. There were so many random tests where I had to repeat things forwards, backwards, upside down, and side ways. I never know what was going to come up next. But after numerous tests I found out what I had suspected for a while. I mean seriously I can't tie my shoes - something was wrong. 

After finding out I have taken some steps in my study habits to help myself out, but I still can't get over how I went so long without knowing.

One of my best friends little sisters is currently getting tested - but it was a long struggling battle with her school to let her. Because well according to them - she is doing just fine (Above average) in school and therefore doesn't need the help. The public schools in the area don't care if you may have a learning disability if you are passing the classes. This bothers me. Instead of helping their students thrive to the greatest of their abilities, they just want these kids to get through the system. Fortunately for people like me it wasn't the hugest problem - because despite it all I was still able to make good enough grades to get into a good school that would then test me. But for others that are so fortunate they are being stepped on and pushed under the rug because the schools don't "have time" to concern themselves with students besides the trouble makers. 

It's sad what some school systems have turned into - and it concerns me for the future of these kids. 

Just something to think about...
