Nail Polish: My New Addiction

I think I should have been Asian. In case you didn't know, I've been getting super good at doing my nails lately. I actually feel like I'm really good at it, which is saying a lot because I don't ever really give myself credit for anything. I'm still trying to overlook the unnoticed mistakes I make when I paint my nails. 

But anyways, here's a few things that I've done so far. I encourage feedback! And I do this all by hand, I promise. 

Neon Stripes. This was really easy...

....and they glowed under blacklight!

Music notes. Cause I'm into music and all that :3

Rainbow Stripes :O

Animal Print!! 

Watermelon Toes. One of my favorites. 

Pacman nails. This isn't my photo or my hand but it basically looked like this. 

Skyline nails. This isn't my photo either but it's really close to what I did. 

And as soon as I get a hold of brown nail polish, I'm gonna try Perry the Platypus (: Wish me luck!! 

                       

Teen Fads. Why I hate my generation.

The following is a list of some of the stupidest teenage fads that I could find of today's generation. I'm warning you, some of this stuff is pretty ridiculous.


Stupid Things We Do


1. I'm gonna start us off with hand sanitizer. It's cheaper than alcohol and you get the same effect!!  
Yes, I mean people are drinking this stuff for the alcohol content in it. It's disgusting and desperate if you ask me. 


2. The Choking Game. It's exactly what it sounds like. You can use a rope, a belt, or even your own hands to choke yourself to the point where you experience a momentary high (aka: lack of oxygen to your brain). This game's been going on for years and there were several reported accidental suicides from it. Because it's totally cool to hang yourself from a rope in your closet (That's sarcasm. Don't actually do it).


3. Planking. It's basically laying face down and as stiff as a board in public and having a friend take a picture of it. WTF. We have more freaking electronics and game systems in the world than we ever did and we're laying on random things in public for entertainment??? *facepalm*


4. Biting (and no, this isn't bath salt inspired). With the whole vampire craze going around, people are actually biting each other. And this isn't your average hickey. This is like, I'm gonna suck your blood kind of biting. All I have to say about this is, why?


5. Flash Mobs. Okay, I'll admit, I think they're pretty cool and I want to be in one. But when a group of teens take it upon themselves to organize a flash mob, people are going to get hurt. And it's happened already. 


6. Smoking and/or snorting Smarties. No explanation is needed here. 


7. Sexting. freaking sexting. I think we all know what this is. Can't you two just wait until you're alone? For real. That's not classy at all. 


8. Trunking. Due to new driver laws that limit your number of passengers in a car when you first start driving, people have been hiding in trunks. This shit is for real. Look it up. 


9. The Datura Flower. If you eat it, you get high. But you also probably end up in the ER or dead. So good luck (: 


10. Being a whore online. "Hey girls, did you know, that ummm, you're boobs go inside your shirt?" Like seriously though, you're like 10. Put your training bra back in your shirt.






Stupid Things We Watch


I'm not even going to explain these. 


1. The annoying Orange


2. Fred


3. Jersey Shore


4. Spin offs of Jersey Shore


5. American Idol


6. Glee


7. Keeping up with the Kardashians


8. Anything else with the Kardashians 


9. Twilight


10. 16 and Pregnant (what ever happened to 'my super sweet 16'?) 










There you have it. I'm not perfect either. I've probably seen a few episodes off of the list above. And I'll admit, I was once a Twihard. But some of this stuff makes me want to bash my face into a wall. 


If I missed anything you think deserves to be on this list, feel free to comment!!

Summer 2k12. While it went fast, it was a summer full of firsts. Probably the most exciting first I had this year, besides plane rides and dunk tanks, was riding on a motorcycle. It's the most amazing feeling in the world to be speeding past cars on the highway with the wind in your face. Seriously, you will never understand why dogs stick their heads out the window until you ride on a bike. And I'm quoting my aunt there. 

I'd also like to address the issue of how misunderstood bikers are. The ones I've met are probably some of the nicest people I've ever met. And they all look out for each other. It's like a wolf pack, only with bikes and leather. It's only about 1% of bikers that give them a bad rep. Believe me when I say, these are awesome people. 

The people I met are from an association called the CVMA. It's basically a bunch of combat veterans from all branches of the US Armed Forces who ride bikes as a hobby and help out other vets. They're doing what the government should be doing. Some of these vets get checked into Veterans Hospitals and have to pay for their own toiletries. Some of these vets get checked into Veterans Hospitals and don't have money or family to help them. Click here to check out the CVMA website

I find this fact just disgusting. These men and woman risk their lives and give blood sweat and tears to defending our country and then they get shit on. Wars and soldiers are so underrated. Especially our Vietnam vets. But that's another story. 

It's never too late to thank a vet. 

Oh and try riding a motorcycle sometime. It's awesome. I swear.
