Last night, while laying in bed unable to sleep, I had a realization. I... am weird. I am truly, honestly, exceptionally weird. And what makes that such an epic realization? It's epic because I DON'T CARE. I know, you're currently gasping and thinking "How can someone throw off all of society's norms and standards without a care in the world?!?" Well, my friend, the answer lies deep inside my twisted little brain. When I get dressed, the harder I try, the uglier I feel. Conversely, the less I try, the prettier I feel. Maybe it's because I see plenty of girls every day that try so hard to be pretty that they don't even care what they miss out on. I mean, people seriously spend up to an HOUR getting dressed up for a bunch of people that don't really even matter. I see people get dressed up to go to Wal-Mart and I always wondered why they did it. Then I realized that many of them can't feel pretty without nice clothes and a ton of makeup. That really saddens me. However, I do feel bad for them, so I'm going to post my current Mirror Verse* and then move on to happier topics.
"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's eyes." -1 Peter 3:3-4 NIV
Okay, so to let everyone get to know me a little better, I figured I should include a video, picture, song, or something of the sort with every post so all you cyber-people can see the kinds of things I like. Since it's my first one, I'll start with an awesome video that totally rocked my world.

Why, yes, that was the hit song Africa, originally done by Toto. And yes, it was being done by a group from Slovenia. And yes, it was amazing, was it not? I know, I know, I have awesome taste in music. And now you can too!
*Mirror Verses are verses I put on my mirrors so I can see them everyday. They usually have something to do with beauty, but can really be about anything.
