Why Don’t You Look Like Your Picture Though?

Another day another discussion on how false advertisement is real in these streets. The false advertisement I am talking about is the way people present themselves to the world. With instagram and photoshop being the wave after you take a picture, cropping, brighten, and clearing some things up. People really have you thinking they are super models. (this is for both genders)

If you have never met the person NEVER assume immediately that they look like their picture, especially with all the new technology out. Pictures can be ALTERED greatly nowadays and within one second you could be saying “Wow you look amazing” then you meet them face to face and your like “but you don’t look like your picture though.” This false advertisement has got to stop!! Next thing you know the person is not returning your phone calls because they where under the impression you looked like your picture but you actually don’t. We all have those friends who don’t look like their pictures

“Why don’t you look like your picture” can mean a lot of different things. Good or Bad. It depends on how the person you say it to takes it. Don’t become a victim of false advertisement, be true to yourself and the people around you.

Good Morning!

Hey sorry for the delay in a new topic, just focused on other things but I’m back on it.

Lost in my thoughts, I always find my self sending random texts of inspiration to people. Either thanking them for being in my life, just giving them something great to wake up to or just something to get them through the day. You really never know what someone is going through so its better to just send them something to brighten their day. A good morning phone call or text goes a long way for some people who are never use to them. It’s always great to know someone is thinking about you when they wake up.

A good morning text is me putting a lot of effort into something I really don’t have to send you but I choose to be that one light at the end of the tunnel for someone. When you get that text and your like “why the fuck is this person waking me up” first say to yourself “dam someone really cares enough about me this early in the morning to send me a message.” Not everyone deserves a good morning message but the ones that get it you just have to cherish the little things.

I would have to say I am a cornball and when one of my friends sends me a morning text, something inspirational or thanking me for one I cheese really hard at my phone. You have to learn to appreciate the little things, so when the big things happen you will cherish them.

“A morning text doesn’t only mean “good morning.” It also means “I think about you when I wake up””

The Bully Effect

New Blog of the New Year, I was going to post my “Things to do for 2012” but at the moment I felt that this topic was more relevant while I still had it fresh on my mind. Many of us know what bullying is and the harmful affects it has on some people but for some of you that are still in the dark, bullying is an epidemic. It is a real big epidemic for kids in high school and some in college. You may think that “oh everyone is bullied”, yes this is true but how do you bully someone to the point of them committing suicide? Also, how do you have no remorse after everything is done? It is our job to speak up and talk to someone that can help us overcome bullying. You can’t hold how you feel inside you must address it. Everyone is bullied but it is what you do after that defines who you are. Remember this quote “When something bad happens you have three choices. You can either let it define you, let it destroy you, or you can let it strengthen you.” Always try to build off of it and never let it phase you.

On April 6, 2009 Carl Joseph Walker-Hoover hung himself with an extension cord, from his Springfield, Massachusetts home, taking his own life. This 11-year-old sixth grader died a couple days before his 12th birthday (April 17th). He was constantly teased verbally, about being gay. His mother pleaded with the school to address the issue, but it seems that Carl couldn’t take it any longer and ended his own life.

For more information about Carl check out this website http://www.carljoseph11.org/index.html

On September 18, 2011, at the age of 14, Jamey Rodemeyer hung himself because he was bullied so much for being gay. He was cyberbullied and verbally bullied. Jamey was bullied since he was in the 5th grade for being openly gay. He made videos on youtube for the “It Gets Better” project, which is a website dedicated to preventing teen suicide.

Help kids to overcome bullying, make them speak up about it. No one should be hurt to the point where they are trying to end there lives. This means we haven’t don’t enough to help them handle the situation. Please be aware that bullying is becoming a big problem and talk to friends about it. You can prevent it just by stepping in and telling someone to STOP.

Sense Of Style

    You remember when you where younger and you just got up your parents dressed you or they just put out the clothes that you could wear for the day? Please don’t act like your parents never dressed you because I can count the number of girls that came to school with the different colored barrettes in there hair and wore the dresses that looked like they where going to a wedding. The guys who always had to wear there shirts inside there pants and there pants being pulled halfway up to there stomach so you would see the outline of there socks. (Michael Jackson style)
    I feel after those crazy moments that we decided to create our own sense of style. We get to high school and peoples values to stand out and be different or look a like changed. They started reading fashion blogs; make up blogs, and going to fashion websites just to get started on what they wanted to wear. If you look at Lil Wayne or Kanye West you can see there sense of style has changed dramatically. They want to stand out and be different but at the same time, they want people to take notice and follow the trend.
    Once we hit college that is really the chance some of us get to reinvent ourselves and create this sense of style that we always wanted. Some people will get rid of there high school style and create there college style. You are surrounded by new people, new environment so why not create something new. At each stage of our life I feel that the sense of style we have is constantly changed by something we see and how mature we become. Instead of wearing a white tee and sneakers everywhere, we changed to a button up, tie and some nice shoes. If your sense of style has really changed you won’t conform or thirst on what everyone is doing, you will create your own thing and wing it from there.
   Remember, your sense of style is something you create from your creative mind, if someone says they don’t like it, respect their opinion and tell them to fall in a hole. You are the artist and whatever you create is what YOU create, the more they judge the more they want to be like you.
