Beauty: in the Eye of the Beholder

you’ve heard the saying; “everyone is beautiful.” though well-intentioned, i think it’s misleading. true beauty must coexist with ugliness. ugliness is out there, in all shapes and forms. we see it in hearts, in minds, and in actions. yet if the world was not ugly at times, would there be beauty at all? would everyone sparkle and shine? or would we all be the same, oppressed nonetheless?

perhaps “everyone is beautiful” isn’t so true. everyone has the potential to be beautiful. but not everyone taps that potential. to be beautiful, you have to be strong. you can’t let them get to you. see that? no names were there, but you thought of someone. that’s a sign you need to forgive and forget. ’cause you know what? they’re just specks of dust and you’re a diamond.

to be beautiful, you have to be true. a beautiful person cannot be labeled. s/he is profound, many layered, thoughtful, flawed, raw, and real. a beautiful person can change the world, simply because they are the first, last, and only of their kind.

to be beautiful, you need to be in the moment. you need to be passionate. you need to embrace your imperfections. you need to do what makes you happy. but most importantly,you need to love. love with all your heart so there’s no room left for hate.

2009 all-in-all review

its the talk of the country right after christmas. new year’s, and, more importantly, new year’s eve. WHERE are you going, WHO’S hosting, and just HOW drunk will you get? the rich and envied make their invitation lists, the hopeful B-listers are competing to be the biggest kiss-up just to be ON said list, and the country folk reside to be with their families (since they have little chance of being anywhere else). it seems everyone has their place–or do they? aren’t we forgetting someone? yes that’s right–the boring, average people reading this blog. well, last new year’s i DID go to a party,but it was a close family friend’s and the strongest thing there was apple cider. not that i’m complaining.

everyone’s ready for 2010

but 2009 deserves some type of slack. so many things happened! first and foremost, my hero died. he was a man whose voice was heard not just all over the nation, but all over the world. from the first time i saw him on television, i was mesmerized by his pure talent and charm. when i heard of his death, i was struck with shock, like all true fans. the headlines still flash in my mind to this day. must i even say his name?

“BILLY MAYS FOUND DEAD”

you thought i was talking about the king of pop, eh? well this guy is-i mean WAS-the king of getting soda pop out of your favorite overly white shirt.

then–tiger woods! you think you know a guy, eh? he had the whole world in his hand, and he lost control. and he had a daughter, too! oh, and there was not only ONE mistress, but NINE-count em’ NINE-mistresses who spoke up!! disgusting!

comment on what else shocked you this year, and you’ll get a shout-out and a recommendation to your blog!

HI, BILLY MAYS HERE, REMINDING YOU NOT TO EXPECT AN EXCITING NEW POST, BECAUSE IT’S NO ONE BUT ME AND MY OXI-CLEAN!!

what’s up with christmas?

hey, have you guys noticed something? it seems that christmas is the only holiday that anyone ever mentions during the holidays. i know the majority of the world is christian, and that’s not my problem. it’s just that even people who aren’t christian celebrate christmas. hindus, punjabis, jews, even some muslims! in fact, i know a girl who tells me that she “doesn’t celebrate christmas, just puts up a christmas tree and lights and gets presents and believes in santa.” seriously? i think it would be absolutely ridiculous to mooch into christian stuff when you’re not christian. those people are just creating their own religion, one where you just take the good parts of all other faiths and do those, then ignore all the other stuff. it’s called moochism. moochers!!!

i’m just kidding (not really, i have to say that to sound friendly) and i hope you all have an awesome winter break, no matter WHAT holidays you celebrate. Happy holidays, God bless you

the bloggy start

have you guys noticed something? remember when blogs were cool? they were high-tech and grandpas all over the nation were saying, “curse those new-fangled contraptions!” while waving around their canes. now, blogs are common and boring. even the most popular blog in america(what is it anyway? i’ll probably google it later) isn’t exactly a household name. why, you ask tearfully, weeping for the boring bloggers out there, such as myself?  well, my dear reader, it is because of a cursed thing called youtube. vlogs, video logs, are taking over. and the name doesn’t even make sense! since blog is actually in web log , shouldn’t it be olog? (video log)

well, my point is, blogs are dying out. a pretty big number of blogs are rarely touched, really boring, for a business, or just to talk about random personal matters that no one could possibly know, or care, about. they’re basically all crappy and someone out there needs to find a funny one. at this point, i’d settle for average. maybe part of the reason is that there are so many blogs out there, and there’s no one website that categorizes them for you, like youtube. do you know someone who doesn’t have a blog or website? even your grandpa who was wavin’ his cane just a while ago has one. Dec 12, 2009. just scared some kid off my lawn by throwing hard candy at him. lol

remember, don’t be excited for an awesome new post, because it’s no one but me.
