Home Makeover

A strange craz has hit America. It is home makeover shows. These shows range from Trading Spaces to Extreme Home Makeover. Why has the world be so addicted to these types of shows. As I watch these shows I wish that I could do all these things that the designers do. But of course I don't have the funds for the type of projects they do. So instead I watch the shows so my desires are some what full filled. This might not make sense but for me it does. These makeover shows create and environment that most people will never experience. So instead they watch these shows, and dream of all the home makeover possibilities for there home. Also people like to see pretty, nice, new things. So they turn on the TV to watch ugly things made beautiful. It seems strange that these shows have made such an impact on the world. But it has and as long as there are ugly rooms in the world they will continue to be on TV.

Pink

A while a go my little cousins favorite color was pink. And every time we talked about it his dad would get all upset, because aperentely pink is a girly color, and he didn't want his son to be girly. But why is it that pink is considered a girl color, and why do some men think it is bad to like pink? I see nothing wrong with guys who like the color pink. It doesn't make them any less manly. Pink is not really that girly of a color. It is just that society has labeled it a color made just for girls. But really what makes a color like blue or green more masculine then pink. It doesn't really make any sense. What makes pink a girly color is the preconceptions that were but into our heads when we were little. Take my cousin for example when he was younger he didn't see anything wrong with the color pink it was just another color. As he has grown up though he has completely flipped. He doesn't like pink because it is a girly color, and to be a boy he can't like pink. If his father wouldn't have discouraged him, or if others wouldn't have told him that pink was a girl color he would still like it. But he was influenced by what others think, and this has caused him to change his mind. Society puts ideas into our minds, and tries to change the way we think. We shouldn't give in. We should all like things because we can, and not let anyone else change our minds for us. Pinks isn't really a girly color it is just like blue and green. And it shouldn't matter if any guy likes it. Those who believe pink is a girly color and wont wear it because of that our wrong and should broaden their horizons. Plus what is wrong with being girly. When any guy says that pink is a girly color, and that they can't wear it I find it very offending. What makes being a guy better than being a girl. But that is another blog for another day.

Happy Birthday, Wow you are getting OLD

Today was my older sisters Birthday. As I was talking to her I kept telling her that she was getting old. This is true in any case. On your birthday you are automatically one year older. In the primary song it talks about being one year older and wiser too, for some people the whole wiser thing isn't true. As I thought about this I decided to write my blog on it. Why do people celebrate birthdays? Birthdays just mean that they are getting OLD. In the world today people try to make themselves look younger and dread getting older. But on birthdays we celebrate eat ice cream and cake, and buy each other presents. But in reality we should dress in black and morn the whole idea of getting older. I guess some people might say that we celebrate birthdays to celebrate that person being born and coming into the world. I that is a reasonable explanation, but it still means that you are getting old. And most people don't want to get old. So there is no need to celebrate birthdays. We should forget about them and deny the one year older thing.

Halloween

The holiday Halloween seems like such a stupid holiday. Really why do we celebrate it and what is the meaning behind it. The holidays Thanksgiving and Christmas have a defenent meaning and reason why we celebrate them. But where does Halloween come from. People dress up like something they are not and then go around collecting candy. It just sounds like greed to me. There isn't any real reason why we celebrate it. It seems more these days that people are celebrating Halloween by in a way celebrating evil spirits. People go to see movies that have all these dead evil spirits. It just doesn't seem right to me. In Mexico and other Hispanic countries Halloween is called the day of the dead. There they celebrate those that have passed on. The eat meals at the graves, and sing and dance. To them it is not about witches and evil spirits. It is about remembering those who have died. So why do Americans think Halloween is this holiday to dress up as witches, and goblins. It really doesn't make any sense. And I think it is a stupid holiday, and the true meaning(what ever it was) has been twisted into something that it is not.
