The Pyschology of Mean Girls.

Mean girls. Who haven't seen that classic of a movie? It's a staple for the twenty first century, a comedy, a tragedy just like Romeo and Juliet. It's something quoted by many, some people have even used it in their senior quotes. But, while watching it, the pysch minor in me analyzed it and came up with a few analytic approaches of this iconic movie:

• Regina George has a narcisstic personality disorder. Narcisstic personality disorder is when one has a high impression of themself, and think that everything they do is amazing. Regina is a an example of this because she has a rather high opinion of herself, thinking that she's the hottest girl around, and always saying "duh" whenever she recieves a compliment about her said abilities and good looks.
• The entire school suffers from the fundamental attribution error because based on a person's actions and status, they tend to make a judgement about the other person. They could be a nice person for that matter. Then again, that's high school, because in high school, everyone talks. 
• Cady's drastic change in herself to become Regina. In her unconscious mind, she secretly wants to be like her, so she starts to act like her. She's also experience cognitive dissonence because she says that she hates Regina George, but really she admires her. 
• We also see Freud's use of defense mechanisms here. Regina is like this the most with the way she deals with her anxiouity. She takes out her innermost emotions out on others, such as her insecurities with her weight, and herself. 
• The most important part of the movie is that we see that Regina is not totally a bad person. She's actually kind of cool. She's like us; she's insecure, and just wants to be loved. And who doesn't want to be loved?

You go glen coco!

STOP.

Recently, the topic of bullying has come to my attention due to a story I read about a teen whose committed sucide because she was bullied. Her name was Amanda Todd. She was bullied online, by a predator posting pictures of her topless online, and being made fun of and even now after death people still mock her. I think that this is terrible.
Raise your hand if you've ever been bullied by someone in your life, whether it may be in elementary, middle or high school, college, or even later in life by a boss or other figure. Chances all of your hands would be raised. Bullying is something that should be ended.
What defines bullying? According to Dictionary.com, the definition of a bully is an intimidating action done to intimidate others, preferably weaker beings. The causes of bullying can range from someone having troubles from an different layer of their life, where they would want to apply the power to a different circle of their life, to them just being an asshole. 
Nonetheless, bullying is WRONG. You hear that, WRONG. You shouldn't treat others in a way that you yourself shouldn't want to be treated. You shouldn't put your hands on someone else, unless they want a hug or a handshake or something like that. Bullying is something that should be stopped. Like now.  
And to those who have been bullied, or are being bullied right now, know I feel you. You are not alone. There are a lot of people out there who at some point who have been bullied by someone. Remember this too will pass. Remember that you are awesome, and you will one day rule the world. Stop bullying. Together, we as a internet community can do just that, if each and every person reading this vows to follow that Golden Rule. Maybe then, we can live in a more peaceful world, where at long last, we can have peace on Earth. 
Together, we can make the difference. 

Photographs.

People who know me personally know that I take a lot of pictures. And by a lot, I mean the one thousand pictures that I'm tagged in on facebook. And, well to be honest, I like taking pictures, whether they are of myself, or of something or someone, because it freezes that moment in time. It makes that moment last forever, and when you look back onto that picture, it brings you back into that moment of time. You may laugh, and smile because the memory is a good one. You may be embarassed because of your clothes or hairstyle at the time. You may be sad, because the memory strikes a cord in your heart.
Photographs are the things that we are left behind. Photographs are sometimes the only thing remaining of the past when the past is gone. The last remainders of someone whose gone, the way that we can see someone who is no longer with us.
Today marks a year since my grandfather's passing. And so today, to make up for his presence of not being here actually, I will look at photographs. A year ago, they made me cry to even look at. Now, they make me smile, because he wouldn't like to see us cry.
I hope that I'm making you proud grandpa! I miss you!

A Simple Song.

Last night, I was watching the show Nashville. I honestly can say that I loved it, it's one of my favorite things that I've watched in a very long time. You see, I'm very critical when it comes to new shows, and especially new music. Anyways, I've been inspired when I was watching the show. Music is something that has been a huge part of the way that we communicate. It's how we connect to the world. It's like poetry, with pretty music in the background. Its a message, with a pretty way of presenting ourselves.
I'm a poet, and I've been considering myself to be a musical aficionado. So, I wrote a simple song, called A Little Too Late. It may suck, but ohh well, YOLO bitch.

A Little Too Late. 
Another day goes by, 
Another tear outta my eye, 
I keep on wondering of what could;
I should have said something; oh, I know I should. 
I was afraid, I know.
I don't know how to let my feelings show. 
And before I lay down every night;
Oh yeah, that's whats right:
Chorus:
Hey Lord, am I too late? 
Have I entered the troubled waters of fate? 
I've gotton my heart broken twice, 
I just need your good advice
Am I too late? 
Is life all but a time or date?
 Second chances are rare, 
All I want you is there. 
I want another chance, 
May I have this dance? 
What can I say, 
I need to know which way.
Chorus
Sometimes, you just gotta seize the day;
You never know if it will or won't go that way.
I often wish I could have one more chance, 
I can assure you with confidence
It will be okay
Well, what can I say?
Chorus

Easy Smores!

One of my favorite foods of all time is the classic smore. Unfortunately, the campfire ain't exactly my scene, so I've tried to improvise, and I've FINALLY found a winner. Therefore, readers, I must share it with you.

For this you will need:

• A couple of grahm crackers. 
• Chocolate with marshmellow center. 

Basically, all you do is stick the chocolate between the two crackers, and you're good. I've never tried it warm..but if y'all do, please let me know...
Enjoy!

Also: I would like also to ask all of my readers out there for a little help with something. I'm currently working on a novel, and I need names for all of my minor characters, because I can't figure out what the hell to name these people. Any ideas would be appericated.

MY voice. MY Vote 2012

As everyone probably knows, there was a major debate on last night, where the two presidential canidates battled it out on the big stage. I won't say whose side I'm on, but I do think that we all should take this whole politics thing seriously. Why? Because it's the future of our country. Students, we'll  be the ones running this show soon, we should pay attention to the issues and vote for someone who we see fit to have the job as president. People older than students, we should be try to find someone that will make the country a safe place to live in, not just for you, and your children, but the generations after. Like seriously. These things are important to think about because we need to shape up our country today for a better tomorrow.
What is tommorow? We will never have a utopia of a country, let's face it. There will always be flaws in the goverment, like the humans who run it. But our ultimate goal of the goverment, it's ultimate mission should be to make this country safe for everyone, for everyone to have the option to have healthcare, and everyone who wants a job to have one. EVERY couple, gay straight or transgender should have the right to be married in a wedding of their choice. Old people should have the right to retire without having to worry that they are running out of money so that if they got sick, they don't have to worry about care.
That's the tommorow I see. I want you all to think about your tommorows. What do you want the most? A family? Career? What will get you to there?
Think about that this election day. Who will get you to where you want to be?

Simply Snoopy.

For those of you who know me personally, you'll know that I have a snoopy obession. Personally, he's the cutest darn beagle...well ever. Especially when he dances around and flies an airplane. Yeah, that beagle can do just about anything.
Tommorow is Snoopy's 62nd birthday (my he looks good for his age, if I do say so myself.) And I wanted to take a moment to dedicate my blog to him, because he's the world's most awesome cartoon beagle ever made. He's inspired me so much to be great and to be adventurous. Snoopy is legit the world's most awesome person ever. And he's a beagle. He dances and his friendship with Woodstock is well solid. He's so cute, and is one of the few people who actually can cheer me up when I'm down. He's a chef, he's a pilot, he's a writer. He's a busy little dog.
So happy birthday Snoopy. Thanks for being awesome for 62 years!
