Perfect..

Lately, my mind has been set on being perfect. Smart, pretty, fashionable, good personality, being in shape; these are basicially the things that make a person perfect. Most people probably have this kind of mind set too. We're all human, and humans are judgemental people. We can't deny that we critisize random people that walk past us.

Most of the blame for this is the media. The media does nasty things to our brain. It makes us think that we have to be skinny to look good, which is what my mind is set on now. I've been nagging myself to work out and do things to get skinnier. I'm not too crazy about starving myself and going on diets, so I just try to stay away from junk food as much as possible. In some cases, because the media shows being skinny is what we need to be is sometimes good because it's getting people to become active, but sometimes people push it over the limits and it just becomes unhealthy. It really goes both ways.

A few years ago, I had the worst fashion. As the years passed, I became more fashionable. Probably because I was watching a lot of shows and the girls were soooo fashionable and pretty. When I see people walk down the street, I can't help but to look at what they're wearing. I try to imagine myself in their clothing and get ideas out of it. It's hard trying to be fashionable though because you end up hating the clothes you got 3 weeks ago and have to get more. Sometimes you have major fashion crisises and don't know what to do. Honestly, I'd rather walk out in a t-shirt and jeans than have to look for what to wear every morning.

The bad thing about wanting to look pretty is that half of your mind is set off on education. I really don't get how pretty people that are fashionable can be smart too. Maybe it's natural or they can just co-op with it, but they are darn lucky. Brains or brawns? What would I choose? Honestly, I would pick brains. Then when I get a good career I can concentrate on my looks. Haha.

Well, I've realized that in actuality.. No one is perfect. Everyone has their flaws and we all just have to learn to love them. Maybe one day, I'll meet someone that will love my flaws and imperfections. I can't say I'm going to stop trying to become perfect because there's always room for change and improvement in life. Feeling beautiful makes you confident, and confidence makes you a stronger person. But.. I'm definitely not going to change who I am. The media doesn't control my life, so it shouldn't control yours either.

Gold cannot be pure, and people cannot be perfect.

hey, it's summer!

Whoa, is it hot as hell or what? I really hate the fact that the A/C is on right now but if it isn't on then I'd probably die from a heat stroke. I'm a total environmental freak. The fact that almost every house's A/C is probably on right now is killing me inside. Funny thing is, today I put my hand over the fan in the A/C box thing outside and it was blowing hot air. I think all the fans in the world are heating up the world up. LOL.. Isn't that ironic? Aren't fans suppose to make you cooler?

Okay okay, I was just joking. I know why it's so freakin' hot outside.. Because the carbon dioxide we release from cars, factories, cutting down trees, ect go into the atmosphere and thicken it up. Therefore, the heat that the sun is giving earth cannot escape. I watched 'The Inconvenient Truth', okay? It's a pretty interesting movie.

I actually always wondered why it was called that. Now I know why because of science class. We turn inconvenience into convenience when it's actually inconvenient. For example, throwing a plastic bottle in the recycling bin is inconvenient to us, so we throw it in a bush or in the garbage, but it's inconvenient for us in the long term because it leads to global climate change and shit. If you think about it it's pretty damn true.

I hate people who don't believe that global climate change is happening. Come on people, get it through your heads. Can you not see the obvious signs of climate change? We need change. If we don't get change then the problem will just get bigger. Do you really want your kids to live in this kind of heat? Do you want your kids and grandchildren to be living in a world where all hell will break loose?

I'm freaking my brains out for this 2012 thing. Half of me believes it, the other half does. I'll tell you why.. because global climate change
is right infront of our eyes, but some of the facts that scientists give sound fake. The world's going to end just because some
guy didn't finish the calendar? Give me a break, he probably got tired and realized ge needed to do something with his life. Some of the facts that scientist say do scare me though. I just hope this ends up like Y2K, where everyone freaks out a little then nothing happens and everything goes back to normal.

Anyways, I don't know how this rant got from the horrible heat today to global warming to 2012. I'm either super concerned about the environment or my train of thoughts get the best of me. Hope you enjoyed my little rant that was suppose to be about my summer, but turned into something unhappy and horrible. (:
