I have yet to understand plastic surgery and the rapidly increasing population having it done.  I'm comfortable in my own skin.  No, I've never daydreamed of having bigger this or smaller that.  Not even once.  Honest.  Would I need it to fit in with the Hiltons and Simpsons of the world?  Yes!  Do I want to fit in?  No.  I think all people are

  Blogging is about your viewpoint.  Your personal feelings.  Your ideas.  Your opinions.  Your hates, your loves, your wishes, your dreams, your breakfast if you want.  Which is not the same as, say reading something on CNN and saying, Oh, that's interesting, I think I'll put in on PU.  If you read something and it strikes a nerve or inspires you, etc. then write about it.  In your words.  If I want to read the news I know which sites to go to.  Yeah, just my two cents.  I feel better. 

Okay, I get it, some people have bad days.  Some people could be experiencing some emotional issues, some personal problems, life - fine.  What I don't get is why it has to be thrown my way.  Some people are just naturally nasty regardless of how nice you are to them and it just irks me to no end. When I try to be nonreactive and just take it, it seems to turn into a situation where they think they can act any kind of stupid and then I get ticked because I think I've given them too much and turn into a major one myself.  What is a person to do and why are so many damn people just angry and vicious all the time??  Is sadistic behavior the norm now?

  Okay, I'm finishing up a World Religions class.  I honestly only took the class to fill a requirement and wasn't greatly interested at first.  But I was pleasantly surprised and learned to love the class and get to know a lot of the people in it.  The one day, I was surprised to hear a conversation coming from one of the students behind me talking to the professor.  She asked a couple of weeks ago which religions we had left to cover and he told her.  And she said, "Oh, good, so we're not covering that trash religion."  Of course he asked her which one she would be referring to and she said Islam.  She was making her remarks and laughing and other people were laughing right along with her.  The professor soon told her that we weren't covering it in the book because a group was doing a presentation on it.
