Weird?

It's 2am, so fuck off if this post seems weird, i'm tired

So I've been spending the past hour or so on youtube, searching for controversial videos, to read about stupid arguments people have in the comments on the videos. It amazes me how daft some people are; how they can only see their side of the argument, and all other opinions are blasphemous and unimaginable. Of course I realize that I may be similar and not realize it, but whatever.

So I was looking at controversial videos, like a video that labeled My Chemical Romance as hard metal:

You would NOT imagine the amount of people spamming the comments as if they have nothing else to do in their lives... it's odd to imagine how worked up people get about music genres. I feel the classification of music is an opinion, with no hard-set boundaries, so bands go where people THINK they go...


another one was the emo song:
the people on THAT one were a bunch of pretentious people who thought that every person who dressed even remotely like goth/emo were a bunch of depressed, cutting, attention-seeking drama queens who are most likely homosexual. God, I despise those people. Maybe the people who dress like that just like the style? but that most likely NEVER crossed their minds...

one more was a documentary about eating disorders:
So over on that video the comments were not really outright and agressive, most of them were people asking about help on how to be anorexic, because they want to look good for such and such, or lose the christmas fat. It irks me to the enth degree about how clueless they are, and the fact that the mortality rate for anorexia is about 10-15% depending on the statistic's subjects. Diet and exercise are one thing, eating disorders are another.





So yes, I'm tired, And I am freaking pissed at postsecret for being 2 hours late at updating the blog for sunday. I am mentally punching them right now :)

And just to let you know, I have my own secret to mail into postsecret sometime around the spring... I'll post it when I'm done, but be patient, a few months still before it's doable

Now what? I'm bored with nothing to do. possibly more posts, idk, maybe more vids, maybe postsecret will finally update their blog so i can sleep [yes, i know, i'm addicted].

fair thee well young blogstalkers,

Randoms

Since pressure has been anonymously laid upon me to update this blog, I am doing so.

[Just realized that whenever I click enter I hold down the shift key when I do it, no clue why :S]



So my interest has been piqued recently about mental disorders involving body image, such as bulimia, anorexia, body dismorphic disorder, and a few others. I find it interesting how the mind of someone can be out of touch with reality in many different ways, with bulimia, anorexia and a others relating to a body image grossly overweight, to body dismorphic disorder which makes the person perceive their body as constantly too puny, and weak, so they feel a compulsive need to bulk up constantly. Whichever disorder the person is afflicted with, the common ground is the inability to comprehend what their true body image is like.

Those disorders aren't as easy to notice as you might think, anorexic/bulimic people aren't always emaciated, gaunt skeletons, and B.D.D sufferers aren't always buff beasts. Just because you think one way, doesn't mean you can act upon those thoughts well. The disorder is in the mental aspect of the condition, not the physical side effects.

My friend did a media project on body perception in the modern media [tv, movies, modelling, etc.] and it was quite interesting how someone else perceived the issue. In my opinion, the project was well done and well presented, especially with some of the writings used.

Some people decide to write out their problems, because venting helps everyone feel better about their problems, and it annoys me to no end how some people view this type of venting as a form of attention seeking. Those persons are ignorant and stupid. They also think that eating disorders, cutting, and dressing/acting differently than the norm are cries for attention by kids/teens/adults.

I wish we could just be who we are, and do what we want to, and not be judged... Just to be accepted, and loved for who you really are, not for how well you can pretend to fit in.
