Confessions

Isn't there some song about confessions? Yeah, never heard it. But I've got some confessions.

1. I think the Fancy Feast cat love story is So. Stinking. Cute! I love how they continued it over multiple commercials. Brilliance.

2. I really dislike James Patterson. Mostly because he has a whole section in the bookstore, and his name is
THIS BIG 
on all his books while the name of the other author who probably wrote most of the books name is 
This Big.
James Patterson? I'm onto you. I know you probably write one chapter in the whole book, then say you co-wrote it, then put your name at the top in really big letters while the true authors name is so tiny, then you go make a commercial with your creepy self and say, "Hey, I just wrote this new book, woo I'm so awesome I make commercials even though I'm a pathological liar, so you should read my book!" Plus, he took one of my favorite series of all time and made it run on forever and ever and ever, never letting the two in love finally hook up so he could write another cheesy book about global warming, making me give up on the hope of love forever and throwing your books at the wall!

3. I used to like James Patterson. Until I noticed all of the things in part 2. 

4. I couldn't do it. I had to shave. I feel so much better! Well, I've felt so much better since Tuesday night around 11:30 when I couldn't take it anymore. 

5. I don't like provolone cheese. 

6. I'm pretty proud of how healthy I've been eating these past two weeks. I don't even feel tempted when I see taco bell, my old weakness. 

7. Today in the grocery store line, I realized that the candy bars and soda next to checkout are impulse buys, just like the little perfumes at Victoria's. (Did you know when those ship, they literally say IMPULSE BUYS on the box? Yep, I felt a little dumb knowing that they know how I always see things at cash registers and think I need them. Well guess what? Now I don't even want anything at any store that's an impulse buy. Yep.) 

8. This week has been full of learning and realizations. Every time I think I'm starting to figure things out, it throws something new. I'm definitely having a hard time dealing with everything with love and patience. I'm still learning though and trying. 

9. I spent a whole day discussing greek mythology. And I had fun. 

10. I like mowing the lawn. It's relaxing.

Racism, stereotypes, and plain ole judging

Being in a class dedicated to the idea of migration has really kept the idea of racism on the brain. In elementary school, the idea of racism was so defined to me, thinking people are better than others based solely on the color of their skin. It wasn't until middle school after reading many books that I realized racism wasn't jut as issue of black versus white, rather it applies to all cultures. In high school I was actually shocked to here racist statements from people I loved. All the sudden this issue became personal somewhat. (My favorite statement was from a little girl who said, it should be illegal for Mexicans to have babies. I guess I can't have kids then.)  But it wasn't until last week when we did an activity in my public health class that I realized that I myself was being racist as well. Now, this is something I am not proud of. I'm very embarrassed actually and that activity was humbling. Why am I writing about this? Because, it's som...

Toxic Masculinity

It seems like forever ago that they released that Gilette ad about toxic masculinity. I watched as people I'd grown up with freaked out about it, saying that it said that men need to be like women, and that it condemned masculinity altogether, along with other things. I crafted post after post to write on my social media, but in the end didn't bother writing anything. I didn't feel like arguing with people. But I had to share my thoughts somewhere, so here they are.  To me, toxic masculinity is exactly what it says-- ideals of masculinity that are toxic. It's telling your son that he needs to suck it up and not cry. That he can get away with more than girls because 'boys will be boys.' The idea that he can't read or watch certain media because it's "for girls." At the same time, girls are asked to watch things that are "for boys" all of the time. It's the idea that men need to repress their feelings. That they can't be sc...

Little Bit o Writing Monday

The beginning of my short story for class.  When Dora's son tugged on her pants leg, the last thing she expected was to see him holding a tooth. A tooth that clearly did not belong to him. She was no dentist, but she was smart enough to know the colossal thing couldn't have come from Mark's mouth. “Mark, where did you find that?” Dora scolded. “In the backyard.” “Show me where,” Dora commanded. Excited, Mark ran out to the backyard, Dora following on his heels. He led her over to the back of the yard, to the particular corner that couldn't be seen from the kitchen window. There, her other two children were gathered around a hole in the ground. Hole was an understatement though, they'd obviously been working on this, pit, for quite sometime. If there had been no tooth, Dora would have sat the kids down and explained how digging holes this deep was dangerous because of all the water, electric, and who knows what else lines were under the ...
