Everyone wants to be famous. The "Hollywood dream." All the money, the fame, the fans. But when we see those pictures in magazines, of the stars, we never know all the effort that goes into those pictures. Why is it that in our society, we care so much about people who we never met, never will meet, and will never know their actual feelings. And then there's the media, who take the pictures. Of course, you wouldn't want some random people screaming questions at you and taking pictures of you. No one would. But when it gets to the point where everyone is talking about people they never met for mistakes that anyone could have made, it gets ridiculous.
Sorry it's so short, but I made my point.

9/11
It's a sad day today. September eleventh. Almost 10 years since that day so long ago... and today I experienced death first-hand.
We came downstairs today to find him lying under the table. He didn't move when we touched him, even though he is very sensitive to touch. He had severe heart desease. We knew he would die, but when was unknown. Just yesterday he was alive and well. He had the happiest life possible. At least he died quickly, painlessly, and we have so many good memories. Like how he had such a high pitched meow, or always cuddled when you were in bed. Yes, he was a cat. But he was a member of our family. My best friend. This is the only death in my direct family. The other deaths I've had were very sad but they lived their life and I didn't know them very well. Misty (yes, it's a girls name, but that is his name) was only four.
And now that I know that every person means something to someone else, every person is missed, I want to say to the 2,996 in 9/11 that died and the countless others who were injured, either emotionally or physically by it, that you people are strong. You will always go on in history. You will always be remembered.
Long live the 9/11 victims, and long live Misty.

Rant on Ugliness
Ok, I know I'm doing a lot of rants, don't worry, I have more stuff planned. Like before, I am guilty of some of this....I just like to think that I'm "pointing out" the these things and recording them.
Ok, so what's the first thing you notice about someone? Or one of the first things? "She's really pretty..." or "Ugh, Her eyes are so ugly." It's impossible not to do. But yet, my annoyingness comes from when people start saying things like, "Oh, she's so stupid! She has a huge nose and huge eyebrows! Ugh!"
Well, do you know someone who would say something like that? We all do. And everyone thinks that, although maybe not as teen-preppy-girl as I'm describing it. But what are good looks? It's different in every country. In America, for men, a lot of woman prefer, "heavy brows, prominent chins, heavy jaws, and broad cheekbones."
For woman, and it is a lot more complex, many prefer, "large female eyes, small chin and nose, and these 'infantlike feature draw out in them the same caretaking response a boby would--they make a woman seem cute and adorable.' Furtherm high wide cheekbones and narrow cheeks are 'signs that a woman has reached puberty' and 'high eyebrows, dilated pupils and wide smile' signal excitement and sociability."
This only gives us a small idea of beauty. There is personal taste which greatly affects results. But anyway, getting back on topic, people are born how they are born and I hate how we live in a world where people think it's ok to make fun of someone for something they can't help.

Ok, I hope the next time you see someone you judge them on perosnality, not looks! If someone is ugly inside, then you have a right to not be 100% happy with them.

Rant on People
Before I start, I must say I'm guilty of some of these rantings too.
The most annoying thing about people is how sometimes, they just don't get it. Like if you're having the best conversation ever with someone who isn't really your friend, and they butt in and talk about something really weird and off topic.
What about when you desperately need someone? You say, you can cry on my shoulder and they say thanks....but then when you need a shoulder to cry on, they're never there. It seems like whenever I need someone, they aren't there for me.
Trust. How many of my friends can I trust with my life? None. I can trust them with little things, and with my secrets maybe one or two. But anything huge, I would feel like I would be exposed. There's nothing wrong with telling if it's for the greater good, but if it's a secret I DON'T want people to know I wouldn't feel comfortable. Think now...how many people can YOU trust with your life?
And when people tease you for things you can't help....facial features, crushes, etc. It's just, well, you have your flaws too, but do I ever point them out? No!
Which ties into my next mini-rant, flaws. Everyone has them, everyone needs them. There's the little flaws that make up a person and don't really matter, and there's the big flaws that the person can recognize and fiz. Like if they don't think before talking, they can try to fiz that.
Well, I'm not in the best of moods so that's why I'm so mad. But still, it gets you thinking about your own life. Your own friends. At least, I hope.

All About My New Blog
Everyone has something to say. Even if we have trouble saying it.
So I created this blog. Just so I can get my opinion out there, and see what people think.
What will I be talking about? Scroll to the top. That's right. Anything and everything. I want this blog to be anonymous, so I'm not telling any of my friends I'm making it.
If you want me to blog something, just leave a comment. If any hate or inappropriate comments are made, they'll be deleted so don't bother.
My goal is to update every three days at the most. If I'm not going to blog for an extended period of time, I will tell you.
I realize that now, no one will read my posts and that's fine with me. Just the idea that I'm getting stuff out there is enough for me.
You have a lot of good posts ahead of you. Prepare yourself; it's going to be a wild ride. :)
