So.....lets be random!
1). Promposals. Ummm...are you kidding me?? I have been seeing these on social media a lot lately. I am so confused by the idiocy of this. I know I am old (I mean, I AM rocking out to the 90's station while I type this). But when did this become a trend! It is absolutely, truly, unequivocally the dumbest thing I have ever seen. I don't think it's sweet. I don't think it's cute. Ask a boy to the prom...ask a girl to the prom. But just ask! It's a dance for crying out loud. Not a life-changing event. It doesn't warrant fanfare, I promise you. Something is clearly wrong with our society. I am really riled up about this. I am old-fashioned. To me this makes marriage proposals look trivial. And a marriage proposal should be the most important proposal you get...because marriage is life-changing. Surely to goodness I am not the only one deeply disturbed by this. I would say that kids are just kids and being stupid is what they do. But I am positive the parents are equally as guilty. Thank God above that I don't have children. Because I look like an ass enough on my own without having a kid that I feel the need to "live through".
2). Luke Bryan. Okay, I'm about to say something that will not be popular with a lot of people. BUT....he sucks. He sounds like he is singing with his nose pinched closed while inside a barrel which is inside a phone booth. And I know, I don't have to listen to him. And I don't. Ever. But then he committed this unfathomable sin. He sang a Lionel Richie song in the tribute they did for him the other night on the Grammys (which I just got around to watching last night). Now, all those people up there singing Lionel Richie should have been smacked...He is Lionel Freaking Richie, for crying out loud. Just give him the microphone! But Luke Bryan slaughtered that song. Did anyone else who watched see the look on Lionel's face when Luke Bryan was singing? I translated the look on his face to say, "holy shit"...and not in a good way. If I were him, when I went up on the stage to sing, I would have taken my microphone and smacked Luke Bryan in the head with it hard enough to make the rest of the tribute singers fall like domino's. But that's just me. Which I'm sure is why God didn't given me talent...
3). Nude Lipstick. I know it's the trend. Mark me down for non-trendy. I think people look dead when they have on nude lipstick. I'm not talking about the pinky-shades that could pass for your lip color...those are great. I'm talking about all those tanish and ultra-pale pink colors that truly make people look sick. I see make-up artists rave about nude lips all the time on YouTube and I see it in magazines and read about how fabulous they are on blogs. You might as well be wearing concealer on your lips. Ugh. They are grotesque. Stop.
4). Bae and Boo. I don't have a "bae". I don't have a "boo". And neither do you. You want to instantly drop your IQ by 75 points? And lets be honest, that would put some of you in the negative category.
5). Pinterest. Now this topic deserves its very own blog post. I love Pinterest. I don't get on there very often. But I find it useful for recipes. Its great. BUT.....people have completely gone bonkers with it. No child has an ordinary birthday party anymore. Every parent pins these elaborate birthday parties for their children. Every bride pins these fairytale weddings. No one can just go and have pictures made...they must first pin all the poses they want. Every holiday party table setting must first be Pinterest-approved. Pinterest is a great place to get ideas for things. But why is everyone suddenly trying to "out-Pinterest" each other. No child needs a fancy three-layer birthday cake. Come on, that's not for the child. That's for YOU, the parent. The world of Pinterest has warped people. Life has become this grand competition. I promise you that your children would be just as happy having a Wal-Mart bakery cake in your backyard. Reality check, people. Our parents didn't have Pinterest when we were growing up and I'm sure all your birthday parties were spectacular in your eyes. Because it was your day. And that's what made it special. Not things. Not decorations. The Pinterest world you create for your children isn't realistic. I'm pretty sure it doesn't make them happier children...it will just make them more screwed up adults when they figure out that the world doesn't roll out the red carpet for them. And I don't care if you have the fanciest place-settings on Christmas Day or if you bought paper plates on sale at Hobby Lobby (which is what I personally do)...and I guarantee your family and guests don't care either. The older I have gotten,the more I have adopted a minimalist approach to life. And guess what? Less really is more.
Well, my "boos" (ha!), I am signing off. No more typing for me for a while. Hopefully by the time I am able to blog again, I will be loaded with things to talk about. :)
