| I couldn't let this go an entire year without an update, though I know
that there are probably only one or two people (if that) who will
actually read this.

| I don't write in here very much anymore... way too busy and not anything interesting to say, I guess.
Life is hectic. Frustrating. Confusing. A lot of
things... I don't eat or sleep much anymore... I just lay in bed and
stare at the ceiling. I need a change. Hence the song I'm
listening to right
now lol.
she said i think i'll go to boston
think i'll start a new life
i think i'll start all over
where no one knows my name
yeah i think i'll go to boston
think that i'm just tired
think i need a new town
to leave this all behind

"this world is empty, pale and poor
compared to knowing You, my Lord.
lead me on and i will run after You."
that's all I've got... I don't care about anything else right now, I
really don't. I have come to the conclusion that pleasing people
or worrying what others think is fruitless.

| We each had to write satires in World Lit 2 a few weeks ago... I wrote
mine about society's "image" for women. Apparently my prof. liked
it, because she had somebody read it in class today (I wasn't
there). Here it is - tell me what you think about it :)
EDIT: DISCLAIMER:
Due to recent response, I want
to make sure everyone understands that this is 100% sarcastic - I wrote
this to mock society's "perfect image" for women. I never
intended this to bash males or to be bitter against guys..
Nothing could be further from the truth. This was only an exaggeration
to make fun of the way media and society has made women feel like they
have to look perfect. Sorry for any confusion :)
Perfection: A Woman’s Guide to Finding and Keeping a Man
Last Saturday, I made my weekly trek across town to
a small sandwich café for a bit of rest and relaxation and some quality
time with a good book. But my usually peaceful lunch was
interrupted quite harshly by the rather loud “discussion” between the
couple seated at the table next to me. From their appearance and
dialogue, I perceived the couple to be in their early- to mid-twenties,
my age and the age of many of my readers. I could not help but
overhear some of what was said, and it soon became clear that the young
man was breaking up with the young woman. From what I caught of
the conversation, it seemed as if the reasons he was giving for
breaking up with her were only surface reasons. To me, it seemed
that there might have been other underlying reasons that he was
avoiding discussing with her. He stated all the predictable
explanations for a break-up, including a decrease in their lack of
compatibility, their busy schedules, and his responsibilities and
commitment to his job. The young woman was very distraught, and
kept saying that she had not “seen any of this coming”. She left
shortly, but the young man stayed at the table. A few minutes
later, another young woman, thinner and more attractive than the first,
dressed in a mini skirt, heels, and tank top, walked up to his table,
kissed him, and sat down across from him. Although for a brief
moment, the scene took me by surprise, it only served to solidify in my
mind what I have known about men and women for quite some time. I
hope to address these things in this article.
Ladies, it has come to my attention of late, through a number of emails
and letters from my readers, that there seems to be confusion regarding
the necessary requirements for attracting and keeping a man. When
our great grandmothers were young and seeking a husband, men may
probably looked for wives who were healthy and would live long enough
to bear them healthy children. In our grandmother’s day,
compatibility may have been an important factor in matchmaking.
When our mothers were our age, things like a pleasant personality and
common goals and even “falling in love” may have been significant in
choosing a mate. But today marriage is different, and these
things no longer matter. Attracting and keeping a man is a whole
different ball game today, ladies. The tactics used by our
ancestors will no longer suffice. We must take an offensive
stance at all times if we intend to be happy, fulfilled, cared for, and
needed by a man. It is crucial that the modern woman recognize
that she is in a constant image-based competition with the rest of the
female population, and that it is now completely unacceptable for her
to appear less than perfect at any time. I hope to articulate to
my readers some simple, practical measures that will help each of you
to find – and hang on to – the perfect man for your life.
In our mother’s day, when it was important that a woman have a pleasant
personality, the focus was on developing her disposition. Now
that, as a woman, your image is the sole deciding factor in attracting
a man, you must come to the realization that every aspect of your
appearance must be flawless. In this article, I will discuss the
body from the torso up, and will continue with a discussion on legs and
arms in a later article. First let us analyze what is needed to
have the perfect hair. Unless you are able to control every stray or
frizzy piece of hair on your head, you should not wear your hair in
curls. Curls, unless styled daily by a highly trained
professional stylist, who will accompany you everywhere to monitor the
emergence of frizz on your curls (we must allow for humid weather,
ladies!), can have a disastrous effect on a woman’s relationship
status. The ideal hairstyle is, of course, straight hair.
However, if you have naturally straight hair, you will need to hire a
professional stylist to ensure that your hair does not appear flat or
lifeless. The male brain is programmed in such a way that when a
man sees hair that seems too naturally flat or dull, the chemicals in
his brain react and send signals indicating that the woman’s
personality is probably similarly dull and lifeless. Men run just
as fast in the opposite direction when a woman’s hair is too flat as
they do when they see curly hair with even the slightest bit of
frizz. So ladies, do not think you are ‘off the hook’ if your
hair is naturally straight.
Next we will take an in-depth look at how to achieve perfect facial
features. Studies have shown that seven out of ten men between
the ages of twenty and thirty-five prefer blue eyes, especially on
brunettes. Ladies, if you are truly dedicated to finding a decent
man, and not just some Joe Schmoe on the street, you must do everything
possible to either accentuate your naturally blue eyes, or make your
eyes appear blue. Although colored contacts have been popular the
last decade or so, they are not foolproof and can appear tacky.
Thankfully, new technology is currently being developed that
permanently alters eye color; it is a new form of laser eye surgery
that will prove highly beneficial to single women.
Now let us discuss the nose. For too long, women have ignored the
fact that the nose can either make or break you when it comes to
relationships. An anonymous survey conducted in 2005 proved that
nine out of ten men actually broke up with their significant others
because they were dissatisfied with the woman’s nose. A number of
them even commented on the fact that particular shapes and sizes of
noses make kissing significantly more difficult and awkward.
Armed with this knowledge, and a recognition of the growing need for a
“perfect nose” model, a team of twenty-five highly esteemed doctors
from Los Angeles worked together to create such a model. Their
model is just under than two inches long, with a graceful thirty-two
degree curve and slightly rounded tip. This nose is crucial to
your marriage-ability quotient, ladies, and if you are wise, you will
not hesitate to have your nose changed immediately to fit this
model. Freckles are simply not acceptable or attractive anymore,
and must be treated as a form of acne. A variety of skin creams
and lotions, as well as freckle-minimizing laser surgery, have been
proven successful in removing the appearance of freckles
altogether. For more information on which creams are safe, and
which are not, as well as a list of the most highly-ranked surgeons
(this is not the safest procedure, and requires surgeons with a great
deal of expertise) visit www.unacceptablefreckles.org. Along with
plastic surgery to change nose shape and remove freckles, another form
of plastic surgery that will be highly beneficial to attracting a man
is chin surgery. Statistics show that women with a perfect chin
are ninety-five percent more likely to be married before the age of
twenty-six. Those who have any chin that is less-than perfect
(dimples, a chin that is too square, bony, or that juts out from the
face at an awkward angle) have much lower chances of being married in
their twenties.
Women are generally good about keeping their teeth clean, and even
attempting to keep them as white as possible, but this is simply not
going to do it anymore. There is no good excuse for having teeth
that are not completely white. With all the technology available,
women should be receiving teeth whitening from a professional at least
once every two weeks, and this is only advisable if a woman is already
married and is only having to work on keeping her man. Women who
are still in the seeking stage should receive whitening treatments on a
daily basis, until they are married. Teeth should also line up
properly. At least half of the men I talked to prior to writing
this article commented about how a woman’s teeth are only attractive to
them if the line between the top two teeth lined up perfectly with the
line between the bottom two. Ladies, please realize the
importance of having perfectly-aligned teeth!
The last area we will analyze today is the torso. For years,
doctors have emphasized the need for annual pap smears and mammograms
once a woman reaches a certain age. Generally, when a girl turns
twenty years old, she is expected to at least have each test
done. Now, it is becoming just as important that when a
woman turns twenty-six, she get a slight breast lift. Waiting
until thirty will not be nearly as cost-efficient, because women who
receive slight breast lifts annually, from a younger age, end up saving
more money than woman who wait until they are in their mid- to
late-thirties and forties to have their breasts lifted or
enhanced. Also, regarding weight, it is unacceptable for any
woman to be more than three or four pounds heavier than what her doctor
suggests is her ideal weight. The ideal body has a perfect waist,
with no excess bulge over the sides of belts or pants and no bulge or
rolls in the front of the stomach when bending over. If, for some
reason, you end up being five or more pounds heavier than your ideal
body weight, or you seem to have even the slightest bulge anywhere on
your waist, a tummy tuck is clearly in order. Unless you yourself
have a degree in, or an extensive background in, some form of
kinesiology or fitness, you need to hire a personal trainer who will
work with you on a daily basis to keep up your frame. Women like
Jessica Alba do not have the torsos the do by working out on their
own. The perfect man looks for the perfect woman, the perfect
woman is not complete without a perfect torso, and the perfect torso is
not achievable without the perfect training from a professional.
In closing, ladies, remember this: in order to be loved, appreciated,
and fulfilled both emotionally and physically by a man (preferably in a
marriage relationship), we need to look immaculate at all times.
If statistics can give us a better idea of exactly what men look for in
a woman (teeth, nose, weight, hair texture, etc…), we should do all in
our power to fit that mold. It is not acceptable for us to slack
off at any time, night or day, when it comes to our appearance.
We are competing with the rest of the female world, and we must
remember the importance of being everything we can be for the man in
our life. | | |
