CHANGES. CHANGES. CHANGES.

So Sam and I have been talking and we realized that we needed more color; more variety in our posts. So we're giving this blog a little upgrade. We will be doing more reviews, hauls, recommendations  and things like that. Starting this month, we will also be doing a 'Monthly Favorites' from each of us! We hope you guys enjoy it. If you don't, we do, so...that's that. K BAI

Optimistic Fractions

Because I have nothing to say, I will just resort to blogging profound-at-the-time conversations with friends.

Me, on hearing of the break-up of a couple I'd been fond of: I don't like the world.
Doobie: But this is only a fraction of the world! There's more to it which you will like, however small that fraction is. ^_^ And you will love it and it will keep you going. ^_^
Me: And what fraction is that?

Doobie: Depends on what your expectations of the world are. Everybody has their own fraction. ^_^
Me: Wow, you're on an optimistic roll.
Doobie: But I do believe that.
Me: It's a beautiful thought. I will also believe in it. I will, in fact, blog about it.
Doobie: GIVE ME CREDITS!! I AM WISE AND PEOPLE NEED TO RECOGNIZE THAT!

A New Year

Hello, non-existent readers. Today I will be blogging about everything I want to say. Before I begin, I just want  to say that I personally think that New Year resolutions are overrated. But I feel like I'm at a point in my life where I need to start taking charge of my life. I keep complaining that I need to get my life together. I say that I refuse to live a mediocre life. I can't just sit there and whine. It will not be handed to me. I have never been lucky. I believe I never will (to all of you who have been favored in this aspect, I say to you-Lucky Bastards). So in order to start getting things together I have compiled a list of.....stuff.

-First of all, a big 'YES' to everything Sam said about New Years resolutions. No more thinking that I'm not good enough, or skinny enough or pretty enough. More confidence. Hell, I should be. I can do a lot of things. I will not be placed under the norms of vanity. I am my own person. I have my own style. I will not think twice about what I want to do. I will wear make up if I want. I will keep my nails neat and manicured if I want. I will eat 6 slices of pizza if I want. I will make efforts to look good if I want. I will play video games for hours straight if I want. I will listen to whichever music I feel like. I will to go college with bedhead. I will have days where I don't give a fuck. I will do everything; and I will do nothing.

-I told myself that I will try harder this year. I will try not to slack off. That is not going very well. Being lazy comes so naturally to me; I can't help it, but I shall try.

-This one has been my goal for the past three years; exercising. I've come around to it during September of 2013. I kind of slacked off in November. All I did in December was eat(IT WAS HOLIDAY SEASON IN MY DEFENSE). I should really continue working out this month.

So that's it for this year. I guess. I'm not really good at planning but you gotta start somewhere right?

At the end of another day

The day ends and in the blinking light of the passing cars,
You see them all. Heading home.
The men with stooped backs carrying heavy loads,
To wives whom they will beat and love.
The women, heads down and steps quick, to a cold stove,
Waiting to be heated up.
The parents, smiling bright, bickering soft,
Behind children with lips turned up as high as the balloons floating above.

Being Mean/This post kind of sucks but whatever, I feel like writing

Darren, I'm going to dramatically talk about my feelings now, so you can leave if you want to.


Throughout my childhood, as far back as I can remember, my mother warned me about hurtful words. Not for me was the adage that "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me." I was sarcastic, and, not to be boastful, I had an uncanny ability to (verbally) hit people where it would hurt. My mother had experience with hurtful words, as everyone does, and, noticing my natural meanness, preached to me all the time about thinking before I spoke, placing the proverbial filter between mind and mouth-caring about other people's feelings. As I grew older, I obviously ran into people whose mothers hadn't been so preachy, perceptive or persuasive, and I disliked them intensely. Not being nice was a cardinal sin in my book, just ahead of being judgmental.

So today, as I'm wracked with guilt because I accidentally said something mean to someone (a joke which didn't quite come across as a joke), I'm also kind of happy. Because it means that my mom succeeded in taking that mean streak out of me, and even if it has made me a little too easily guilt-stricken, I remain ever-grateful.

Resolute!

Some of my resolutions based on some of the things I've thought this year.


"I'm fat and ugly and no one will ever love me."
#1. Less insecurity.

"I'm fine."
#2. Less lying. Also, like, more actually being fine.

"*whines*"
#3. Less whining. More "disgusting cheerfulness."

"There are a million good writers in this world. Who the hell am I?"
#4. More confidence.

"The world sucks."
#5. More hope.

"Oh, I should blog about that...but ugh."
#6. Less ugh. NO ugh. More writing.

"But..."
#7. Less negativity.

"Yes, absolutely, I have no problems whatsoever!"
#8. More honesty.

"You'e an idiot."
#9. More tactful honesty.

"I can't."
#10. More doing.


Happy New Year, folks! Once again, I hope it's a wonderful one and no one wishes they were dead. ^_^

Much love.
~Sam
