Call me a Fag.. IDC

Men are sops to be tough, strong, show no fear, not cry, balblabalbalablablabal.. Yea right..During middle school there was always that big bully tough kid who tormented little boys and girls. The reason why bully's exist is because A) they are self-conscious about themselves and B) The movies, music, media all that make it seem like men are sops to be as tough as nails. I don't see any problem with a man crying, showing there true feelings/emotions and being just a normal nice human being. For example, Sal works part time and then takes care of his kids, cooks dinner and so on. I don't see any problem with that.. I mean cooking is fun!. I love playing with little kids and just chilling at home. What a good life!.. Sal wanna switch lives for a few days? I would rather be a stay at home dad and work part time than be at the office 24/7 busting my ass so my boss wont scream at me and barely having time to be with my kids. It doesn't matter who brings in more money into the family, as long as the man does what is needed to be done to take care of his family.

GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS!

Fat or skinny? I like them curvey =). As media always does, they blow shit out of proportion. Everyone has something that they don't like about themselves. EVERYONE.. So when girls say I wanna look like this or that they have to understand everyone has there our beauty. I see girls in school that push there boobs up, wear TONS of makeup, wear barley any clothes and I just laugh at them because they care so much aobut what others think. I would rather go out with a girl that shows her true self instead of girls that look like they are strippers. Why do magazines and movies make women so SKINNY!? I don't find anything attracting to a girl that is 5'8 and less than 110 pounds. Are they trying to look like a pole or something? I watched Americans Top Model a few times and every time I watch it, I ask myself... Why are thees girls models? I could pick out 10 girls from shs that look better than them. Anyway what I'm trying to say is that if a guy likes you, its not all about how you look. There are tons of girls that I think are pretty but I wouldn't date them because they are dumb and have a bad personality. Most guys will try to find a decent looking girl to be with but looks don't make a guy fall in love with them. If a guy finds a hot babe and falls in love with her and for some random reason she turn fat and ugly hes not gonna break up with her because of that. Looks are only first impressions but after that, they barely matter.

Human Nurture

In class this week we found out that without human nurture, humans can act like "wild animals". I found this very interesting and mind boggling. I was stunned to find out that all kinds of different animals have raised human baby's. For example wolves, bears, monkeys dogs and so on. When we watched the episode  about the girl that is 11 but acts like a 2 month year old baby I was shocked. I learned that in order for humans to develop we need to learn from someone. Sal used an example of how his daughter imitated him when he was doing something that she has never seen. When we watched Oprah, a Doctor compared a normal brain of a young child to a feral child, the brain of the feral child was much less developed than the normal child. This proves that love and nurture is needed for humans to grow. My parents being in the working class, thought me to be polite, neat, obedient and gave me a smack to the head if I did something bad. Even though I hated it as a young kid, I now understand that because of their jobs and being bossed around all day, it shapes their parenting style.

Scared of Death?

Death can be a touchy subject to some people. When people think about death, they tend to look at the negative side of it; like not being able to see your family, not being able to do what you love ( for morrie it was dancing ) or eating your favorite food exc. People then overlook the positive side of it like  finally being able to be at peace with yourself for a REALY long time. One of morries quotes was about fearing to age or dieing. He said that if you fear of ageing or deing it reflects life that hasent found meaning. I like this quote alot because it tells you to live your life to the fullest and have no regreats. If you live your life to the fullest with no regreats what else is there to do? Yes, everyone would like to live forever but they have to learn that death is the begining of a new life.
