Each day that passes...

With each day that passes and you still don't reach out to me. Do you really think it'll make you just fade away? Is your plan to create distance so that I can forget about you? Or is it so so that you can forget about me? Just add me to the notch on your belt? Chew me up and spit me out? Play with my emotions like they are a bouncy ball? Just a simple, "hope all is well" would be nice. I know I don't really mean anything to you but I can't get over the humanity factor here

A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say. I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you're wrong? What if you're making a mistake you can't undo? The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying.

Sigh!!!

At the end of the day, when it comes down to it, all we really want is to be close to somebody. So this thing, where we all keep our distance and pretend not to care about each other, is usually a load of bull. So we pick and choose who we want to remain close to, and once we've chosen those people, we tend to stick close by. No matter how much we hurt them, the people that are still with you at the end of the day - those are the ones worth keeping. And sure, sometimes close can be too close. But sometimes, that invasion of personal space, it can be exactly what you need.

Where's my Vampire? P.S. Bite me!

Oh boy...I am unconditionally and irrevocably in love with Edward Cullen.

Yes, I'm not ashamed of it: I'm absolutely in love with the Twilight series.

Do you remember the absolute hopelessness and depression you felt when you realized you were a "muggle" and that you would, in actuality, not be able to attend "Hogwarts"?

Well, that's what I'm feeling right now after Twilight.

Where is my Edward Cullen? Where is my breathtakingly beautiful vampire love? Where is the werewolf BFF of mine? One who wants to steal me away from my one true vampire love? Why is no one waging war or fighting over my awesome self?!

After seeing Edward's crooked smile on screen, i almost died and went to vampire heaven - Edward Cullen= PERFECT ..
and if i had to choose anyone to phase me into the vampire world, it would definitely have to be Robert Pattinson and his beautiful crooked smile ... *droooooooooooooollll*

I am totally head-over-heels in LOVE with Edward Cullen aka Robert Pattinson

Because he's unique in a cool, un-emo/goth/schoolshooter way.
Because he has pretty eyes. (that change colors!) *swoons*

Because he will never leave you, even if you kiss another guy.
Because mood swings are hot.
Because he's rock-hard. (don't bother giggling, the pun is intended)
Because he watches you in your sleep.
Because he says the word 'sexy' on occasion
Because he drives over the speed-limit. (Aha)
Because he loves his family.
Because he's old fashioned.
Because he's Edward Cullen, dammit!

Conspicuous Consumption

American advertising has always embraced illusion approach.In their constant quest to attract consumers and associate products with “cool” or luxurious and hedonistic lifestyles, some advertisers have consistently pushed the boundaries of what is ethically and socially acceptable.Media ads and campaigns often blur the distinction between reality and unreality.

There are many controversies which focus on the societal effects of advertising. For instance, does advertising make us more materialistic? Does it force us to buy things we don’t need? Does it reach us subliminally in ways we can’t control? How does it affect the art and culture of our society? Does advertising debase our language?

In the free-market system, consumers can choose the values they want in the products they buy. If, for example, low price is important, they can buy an inexpensive economy car. If status and luxury are important, they can buy a fancy sedan or racy sports car. Many of our wants are emotional, social, or psychological rather than functional. One way we communicate who we are (or want to be) is through the products we purchase and display. By associating the product with some desirable image, advertising offers people the opportunity to satisfy those psychic or symbolic wants and needs.

Advertisements on television are designed to make you feel included in a group if you buy a product; that’s why ads use attractive people, so on some level you’ll believe that you are in that group if you buy the product they’re selling. We are a society consumed by consumerism. It is sad to say that, but it becomes truer each day. Consumerism can be defined as the tendency of people to identify strongly with products they consume, particularly of name brands and status-enhancing appeal. With the marketing world growing larger by day it seems more and more people are attracted to the advertised products and feel the need to have them in order to keep in style with the rest of society. The term “conspicuous consumption” applies to those people who show off their products in order to show their wealth. These people who show off their expensive clothing, jewelry, or cars are trying to make an impression on people. We live in a highly materialistic culture in which conspicuous consumption governs much of our lives. We strive to acquire goods which will define us to ourselves and to others and somehow satisfy our human need to justify existence.

times change.......

It' sad when people whom you know become people you knew, when you can walk right past someone like they never a big part of your life. How you used to be able to talk for hours and now you can barely even look at them... It's sad how times change. But, there comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore and who always will. So, don't worry about people from you past, there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.

Isn't it ironic..we I G N O R E those who A D O R E U S adore those who ignore us H U R T T H O S E who love us and L o v e those who hurt us?

There comes a time in life when you have to let go of all th pointless drama and the people who create it and surround yourself with people who make you laugh so hard that you forget the bad and focus solely on good. After all, life is too short to be anything but happy.
