What is love?

So I was asked the question the other day, what is love? And I jokingly said an excuse for people to get gifts, cards, candy and backrubs. Which by the way is no where even close to what I think it is. And so being in a romantic predicament myself I decided to give it some thought and I think I have come up with a little bit of an explanation. For those that are questioning whether what you're feeling for the one your with is love, or for those of you that are trying to rekindle a love you want to last forever. Love is more than a feeling, idea or symbol; its everything. Everything to everyone, love is just like our lives. It is full of hardships, joys, tears, pain and things that you will never forget. The feeling of love is strong enough to stop anything, when that spark shoots you can't really keep things moving, they stop on their own. For guys its a no eat, no sleep, world series kind of feeling. Nothing else matters at that moment, no matter what is or was going on, you become absorbed in her, and you don't want to be anywhere else. Love is them making your day no matter where or how, what they look like anywhere makes you happy, laughing at their flaws when they fret about them. You love people that you can't live without, and if you can't live without someone you'd do anything for them. You're chest hurts when they leave, and you can't think of anything else. Their crazy moments make you smile when your lips touch you don't ever want it to end.

Now to falling in love. Falling in love is something that you cannot control, and something you can't force or time to your benefit. Falling in love with someone can happen fast or slow, the things they do could just never get old or they could simply drive you wild, and make you laugh and smile everyday. Most times it can't really be explained, hence why its physical explanation is so difficult to grasp.

So my question to you if you're questioning it, is why? Love is unplanned, unpredictable and never ending. Something that crazy, wild, wrenching, painful, joyful, fulfilling and unexpected should be pretty easy to spot. And if you're already in love, never let it go. You'll never know how lucky you are until you've given up on it.

Kony 2012 & Westboro

     I know as of now I have only one follower, thank you Shannon, I am hoping to get more, but for those of you who are looking for a quite short rant to pick you up through the day, here it is. I have officially deleted my facebook account permanently. Now to tell you why. People do not consider the consequences of their actions. The two things that have finished off my facebook account are the Kony 2012 support groups and the Westboro church protestors.

     First Kony 2012, one of the co-founders speaking with a reported made this statement, "If you asked a teenager and an adult what Kony 2012 was, only the teenager would know".....Of course only the teenager would know because they are the only ones stupid enough to give money to a group that spent nearly nine million dollars of the thirteen and a half that was donated on expenses. Pardon me, but I am not going to donate my money so you can fly around the world and post things on the internet. Not to mention an organization that simply pocketed nearly three hundred thousand dollars in 2011 and gets privately audited every year to avoid such allegations. Don't get me wrong, in 1986 when Joseph Kony started all this, awareness should have been made, but now that he is no longer in Uganda and there are only maybe two hundred child soldiers left out of a peak of thirty thousand twenty six years later, why don't we all calm down. Not only are there a number of other organizations that you could donate to to aid relief in the Uganda area, these other organizations use almost all of the donations they raise to actually aiding the cause they support. Some examples include Africare, Children's Relief Mission, hell try UNICEF, remember that little box you carried around in middle school collecting coins? They all help and don't spend it on themselves. So use your brains when giving your money away. Giving to Kony 2012 is like giving your money to a man on wall street in a three thousand dollar suit rather than to child's leukemia.

     Second, is the Westboro Baptist church and their vendetta against all things homosexual. However, my first concern is actually with those that show up to protest. Take a step back and think before you go paint a sign and intertwine two dildos and raise them in the air. The Westboro Baptist church is a monster, that feeds on the publicity and attention, if they didn't they would simply hate gays in the privacy of their own room in hell. Instead they create websites devoted to why they think God hates countries across the globe for their involvement and support in and of homosexuality, so why in the world would you show up and feed their flame and make them smile for playing their game? If no one paid any attention to them and the world turned their backs, they wouldn't have reporters to talk to, or shows to go on and they would have you to enrage at your rallies. I understand your desire to protest, trust me, I myself would love to see them burn in the hell that they claim so many are going to because the largest game of telephone in the world told them so. But think rationally and don't give them the desire they so desperately desire and instead hand them a sign in sheet for a mental hospital, why they haven't been admitted already is beyond me.

     So why don't we all calm down, stop throwing away our money and stop feeding a flame that so desperately craves your attention. Thanks.

Plautus, a good change in your reading

       I recently visited my campus library in search of something to read that will keep my attention and interest me. Keep in mind now that I am telling you, I have a rather short attention span when it comes to reading, and if you slammed an eight hundred page book in front of me I wouldn't even read the preface. I also have a strong sense of indifference when it comes to mass produced and known societal items, to an extent. Music being an exception amongst other things, can't have you thinking I'm a liar. However back to the subject at hand, as the title of this article has most likely imprinted by this point, whilst at the library I took a stroll down the English, Greek and Roman Literature sections. It was there that I stumbled upon the works of Plautus. If you are looking for something good to read, I highly recommend some of his works, I am currently at the end of the first play in the set that I checked out, "Amphitryon" by Titus Plautus.

      

       The plot follows the Commander-in-Chief of the Theban Army, Amphitryon and his slave Sosia, more particularly their lives after returning from a war with the Teloboians. After his great victory he returns home to be met with the news that he and his slave have been doubled by Mercury the Roman god of Abundance and Commercial Success, and Jupiter, the King of Roman Gods, God of the Sky and Thunder. Throughout the play, the Gods play their parts confusing those around them with their omnipotence of the situation. Sparking feuds between master and servant as well as husband and wife.

       This play is an excellent read with an educational aspect giving you background and insight into societies beliefs and behaviors in another time. I highly recommend picking up a classic next time you're looking to sit down for a few hours, rather than a poorly written story about vampires and werewolves.

A list of what ifs

What if:
- No one grew hair, what would you look like, what would your grandma look like
- Unicorns didn't exist
- Humans had four legs
- It was polite to shake one another in the crotch when greeting (men that is) like at the beginning of a business meeting
- The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was normal, our sexual peak would be in our 60s
- Scratching itches was punishable by death
- Standard police uniforms consisted of clown shoes, foot pursuits would never be the same in Starsky and Hutch

- The United States had an obesity epidemic along with a skinny jean fad.....oh wait
- Darth Vader was your father
- You went home today to find the big bad wolf had blown your house down
- Marge Simpson sat in front of you at the movies
- You woke up next to Bill Nye
Not my best attempt at a post, but whats it to you?!

I waste so much time

In my quest for inner peace and knowledge I have been visiting the website iwastesomuchtime.com a lot recently, especially seeing as I being a college student never pay attention in class. I personally highly recommend said website. I get lost in its ridiculous nature for hours on end.


This picture being a prime example of how it illuminates the everyday funnies I'm sure we all have encountered at some point, granted not all of them and not all of us will relate with each photo, but come on.....why don't you just tone it down a notch.




 So if you are looking for a laugh, the well mannered frivolity of this site can most certainly ease your craving, especially if your interests include any of the following:
1) Cats
2) People wearing superhero costumes in everyday life
3) Nerds
4) Nerds being nerdy
5) Nerds accompanying other nerds
6) Nerd gatherings and social conventions
7) Pictures of unicorns dancing on rainbows
8) Reasons people do things
9) Noticing random facts about anything
10) Laughing, because otherwise you don't have a soul.....

So go check it out, be entertained.
