may long weekend

Why is May-long Weekend so popular and looked forward too? After all, it isn't the only long weekend that the world offers. Why does this one have to be so special and wonderful?

I understand that it is Queen Victoria's birthday on the Monday, and though I am fond of the past queen and long weekends, I don't quite understand why this one is so much more special than any other long weekends that are attached to holidays.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about the long weekend, I just don't understand why it is so much more awesome than any other long weekend (or so it seems). Not that I actually got a long weekend at all...oh well! More monies for me!

pandas are awesome

I think I decided that pandas are one of my favorite animals.

Anyways, I found this panda picture and it amused me, so I thought I would share it. Enjoy.

What if this was true...lol.

messages in songs

There is this album that is so amazing (and everyone should buy it *cough cough*) called Vulnerable by The Used. The first track on the album, called "I Come Alive" is not only fantastic, but it also has a great message. 

This song is about how falling down in life, or going through a really tough time or hitting the bottom, can sometimes be the best thing that can ever happen to you.

And I couldn't agree more. 

I have been through some really hard times myself, which I'm sure that we all have, and I can say that even though it was hell to go through at that time, I have grown from them. Those times have - and are still - making me a better person as I rise up from those hard times. I am getting stronger as a person because of the hardships in my life and because of that, I am sort of thankful in a way that I hit the bottom. 

This song is a reminder of that for me; to take the bad things that have happened to you in the past and to grow from them. 

I try to be a stronger person, and so far so good :) Another good song (though VERY different from "I Come Alive") is Demi Levato's song "Skyscrapers". It's very pretty and also gives the same message about rising from your hardships and the strength you gain from those experiences.

In conclusion, always remember that when you hit the bottom, you have the strength to stand back up again and conquer your hardships. You are never alone and there will always be someone there to help you through your struggles and support you. You are loved and cared about, you have the strength to conquer anything.

yay for procrastination!

Oh studying. How I do not get along with thee.

I do TRY to study and sometimes it works, but usually it doesn't and simply ends with me falling asleep on my books and getting nothing done at all. So helpful.

Also, instead of making a blog post right now, I really should be studying.

So I shall. Bye bye.

happy easter

     
                                                     HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!
In celebration of this day, I thought it would be appropriate to show you all a cute picture of a rabbit!

                                                                 ...Wait. What.

a reflection of facial hair

So. Facial hair.

I think facial hair has the potential to be very interesting and can be used very creatively to express ones self, I can't say that I find it attractive, but I do find it entertaining.

I wondered about the popularity of facial hair, and how many guys actually LIKE having it. A lot of my guy friends hate it and find it very uncomfortable. So why do so many men keep their facial hair? Is it a manly thing needed for manliness?

Manliness is super awesome and I approve of it very much. I find that beards and such are indeed in a sense manly, but so are many other things. Like oh...being a guy in general I suppose is pretty manly. About as naturally manly as you can get. But why the need facial hair? Perhaps it's the fact that they CAN rather than if they like it or not. I don't blame them. They can be pretty rad.

I find that facial hair is getting a lot of product made based on it lately. I don't mean mustache creams or sprays ( I have no clue what those would be...and I don't think I want to know) but rather necklaces and stick-on mustaches. All of these things are rad, by the way. I'm saying that  have seen a lot of it around lately. I wonder why it has become such a big things lately. Kind of like "Movember" (a charity movement that men do for prostate cancer research by not shaving for the month of November) which got big in the past few years. I know that there's a website where guys can become a member of the people doing "Movember" to raise money for their cause. I haven't actually been on the website but I should really check it out and see what it's all about a bit more.

What if women were the ones with the capability to grow massive beards and wicked mustaches rather than guys? I wonder how that would work out. Would women shave it off like they shave their legs and arm pits for hygienic and appearance purposes? Or would it be a symbol of womanliness and therefore is something that they should embrace rather than shave off?

Speaking of shaving legs, why don't men shave their legs, chest, or arm pits? I mean, it's still entirely visible (depending on what they wear at least) to the people around them, and wouldn't it affect them or bother them in similar ways as their facial hair does? Hair is hair, and can get all funky and stuff, so I wonder why guys don't shave that off too if they shave their faces. What's so special about the hair on ones face besides the fact that we see it all the time? We see their leg, chest, and pit hair anyways.

So much reflection. So much hair. So little time.
