Music

My life is music. Literally. I love it… it's my thing. It just is. You know, music is like my outlet for things… my vent. I can spend hours on end just listening to music (while, of course… doing something else). Life without music… I can't even imagine it. For a lot of people including me, music is one of the things that keeps a person together. It's sorta like their spiritual thing…

I am aware that I'm starting to sound like a fat guy in a turban… or maybe a gypsy or a fortune teller. *caresses globe* Yes m'dears… reach into your deeper self. No, I didn't mean it literally, so don't start picking your nose please…

Yeah, so anyways. Music is amazing. And it helps me a lot… especially when I'm under a crap load of pressure. I have no idea why I wrote this, other then I just felt like doing it…

So yeah. Deal with it.

Peace

Jusin Bieber - to like, or not to like?

Yes... I'm writing about JB. Now please close your mouth before something unpleasant flies in. ^_^

Justin Bieber. Like any artist, JB has fans and haters. Ah, just say that name once and depending on the people you're addressing, you'll usually either get the Bieber Fever response, (OMGOSH. JB <3 <3 He rules MY WORLD 2.0!!) or the anti-JB reply (…I. Hate. His. Guts. And I hope he gets run over by a giant orange). Don't ask where I got the giant orange idea from…

Anyways, my opinion on this Canadian teen star? Neutral. Actually, I don't really care that much about him. His music has never made it to my favorites list, although I do have a lot of his songs. Yes, I do have JB songs in my iTunes playlists. Get over it. And… I have to say that I understand a lot more with the fans than the haters on this topic. Well, at least the hard-core haters.

Sure he's short. And not the hottest person in the world. But neither are you. And please don’t argue with me on this… I can always find a person hotter then you. Well, in my opinion at least ^_^ But is he worth all the negative comments? *cough*He'sagirlinaguysbody*cough* Yeah. Give him and his some respect. And respect yourself too.  Sure you can say that you don't like him or his music… but don't diss him.

No… I am not a Bieber fan. Nor am I a hater. I just get irritated when people talk down on him. And other artists too. They're human too. Give them a break. Like Miley Cyrus. Yes… I'm a Cyrus fan. Actually, since there are so many Cyrus haters, I'll choose… uhh… okay, nvm. Just picture your favorite artist. How would you feel if people were dissing them? Sure you would try and defend them… unless of course you're not truly a big fan (SHAME). So yeah… before you open your mouth to talk down on a person, remember that other people probably talk down on you behind your back too. ^_^ Just saying.

Thanks...not really…?

People whose lives depend on false flattery… Yup, you girls know what I’m talking about. A friend drawls, “Oh my gawsh, you look so pretty today!” when you know you look like an ice cream truck ran over you… twice. And what can you do? You just smile politely and accept it of course. But really…what is the purpose of these compliments? After you say something along the lines of, “thanks,” they look at you expectantly. And you know the drill; you scan them real quickly and say, “I love your purse,” or “What did you do to your hair? It looks gorgeous”. That was just an example of seemingly harmless flattery.

Flattery is overrated. Very. Just saying… Go find a life instead of trying to get others to compliment you or make you feel better ^_^

Note: If someone compliments you… just take the compliment. It’s okay if you say you don’t agree, but thank them anyways. And don’t protest like crazy.

For example…

“You’re really pretty”

“Omgosh no way… I look horrible. My hair is all over the place, and I hate my face.”

At this point most people will be pressured to disagree and totally kiss up to you. If it were me, I’d just say “Okay. If you think that way” xD

Peace

And… in reply to "Me’s" question… I added this part ^_^

Reasons for flattery?

1.       You want to be nice… and believe me, flattery works very well in getting you on someone’s “good side”

2.      When you compliment someone, they kinda have to compliment you back don’t they… so I guess you can feel better about yourself.
