Racism

What he said B)

That big "NO-NO!" in all of our lives. I think the word "Racism" is over-used, since it is simply an idea that's been given a word. A word of 6 letters that resembles so much hatred and bigotry. If everyone would just stop using it I'd be so happy. People are judging and excluding others that claim to be racist, because they judge and exclude people they're racist towards... I think it's gone too far for too long. We all bleed red and we all live only one life on this huge rock hurdling through space.

Facts of racism

• Racism is judging people based on their skin colour.
• Racism is the act of being biased specifically towards a person's race.
• When hearing a racist remark, you often hear the words "Not to sound racist but..."
• Saying "Not to sound racist but..." is racist no matter what it is followed by. For example:

"Not to sound racist but I don't trust that black-ish yellow person" - Racist
"Not to sound racist but that is a funny shaped sweet potato" - Racist

"Not to sound racist but would you please pass the salt" - Also Racist

"Not to sound racist but what's the answer to number 6?" - Possibly racist... If the question is "Name 3 states in America" or "What is Pi squared?" then they are both racist. Because you started with "Not to sound racist but..."

I would be lying if I said that I don't judge people on how they look. I'm no saint, if someone looks untrustworthy then I assume that they are untrustworthy. No matter how unfairly I'm judging them, I can't help it. I also don't trust people I can't smell. Strange right? Well I don't mean people that have no scent, I mean the ones I have to back away from. People I can't stand to smell. When the stench is great, I stand back. That goes for cigarette smells and the un-bathed masses, the smell drives me away, with the exception of my smoking family members. Even if you don't shower every day, I love you guys...

I judge you all -_- Daily!

So when it comes to my personal views, I don't think I'm a racist. I judge black, white, asian, coloured, blue, green people... I judge them all in the same way. If you look violent, un-kept or dodgy in any way then you will be judged negatively. And if you stink. I don't appreciate the stink... On the other hand - if you smell good, look washed, or carry yourself confidently, I will judge you positively and expect great things from you. I get judged quite often too, it's easy to tell when people are making judgements and it's human nature. By judging your surroundings you are able to better prepare for the worst, but for goodness sake please keep those judgements to yourself. Nobody wants to hear it. Judge in silence! Happy judging in this joyous season of merry-making my dear readers...

Singing in the Shower

Shower shenanigans

"No, It wasn't me singing...
It was the shower!"

Don't worry, this will be family friendly! I love my daily showers. Just soaking in the 'rain' from the geyser, it's great! And I've noticed a pattern in how I shower. I stick to showering in roughly the same temperature until I'm cleaned up nicely. Then if I have time, I turn the temperature up and soak in the extreme heat! If it gets too hot, I turn it down until it's freezing and refreshing! Feels soooo good :D Showers are just so great and relaxing, you can literally feel your worries melt away along with the layers of grime that's been building up since last week's cleansing. The BEST!

Enough about showers!

Human interaction:
I wasn't always such a social bunny! In the past I would hide in front of the T.V. watching anime and playing PlayStation games. Now I like people! There are lots of interesting ones, some irritating poepels, and many nice people! (No, that wasn't a spelling mistake. Just say "Poeple" out loud and you'll know what I mean).

Human interaction makes us who we are. I don't change by myself, the people around me shape who I am. That's why it's so vitally important to be selective of which people you allow to mould you. Even if you don't think they're having an affect on you, trust me, they are changing the way you think and view life. Therefore, I am selective of the people I let into my life! I'm not desperate for friends because I know that if I'm patient and I use caution around new people with how I act and what I say, before I know it the right people will worm their way into my life. Friends are people you can have a symbiotic relationship with. Then you get the parasites! Human parasites, as described by the wiki page you can reach on that last link, are as such: "Examples of parasites in humans include tapeworms and leeches.". Tapeworm and leech people are not conducive to a happy life. I have had some tapeworm and leech people in my life and it never turned out well. So be careful with whom you open your heart to!
