A Little More About Thanksgiving Break!

Patterning your life around other's opinions is nothing more than slavery.
- Lawana Blackwell

Greetings All! I trust you are all having wonderful days. My last few days have been pretty spiffy. They’ve been exactly how I thought they would be: laid back and boring. ^_^ I love it! I went shopping on the day after Thanksgiving (me and the rest of the civilized world). It was quite the experience. My purpose was pants. Men’s pants aren’t really what people go for on the day after Thanksgiving. Most people go for electronics, kids toys, or women’s clothing. That’s pretty much it. So, really, it wasn’t a problem finding what I was after. What was a problem was finding the best sales. And, surprisingly, the best sales I found were at JCPenney. Weird. I got three pairs of pants for less than $60. Also, while at JCPenney, I saw some really good looking shirts too. I eventually went and bought some of those after I told my mom about them and she gave me money. Thanks, Mom! So, yeah, I got what I needed with as few injuries as was possible. The day after Thanksgiving was a success. Now, let's just hope that the next few weeks go as well as the past few days have. The next few weeks entail finals and final projects. I'm scared. I MUST GET A 3.5!

I Miss My Hair
I like longer hair styles. I like them a lot. I like them much better than I like shorter hair styles. This is unfortunately a problem. My parents views are quite opposite. My mom is a fan of the military/athletic styles with hair as short as possible without being nonexistent. I have a BIG problem with this. I HATE those hair styles. Yeah, yer probably thinking “Why does he even care what his parents think? He’s in college 300 miles away from home and can do what he wants.” For the most part you’d be correct, but with my hair I’ve always been under their control. When I go home with longer hair, I always get nagged and made fun of and ribbed until I eventually give in. It happens every time. This time was no different. They came in on my first morning home and sat on me until I said I would get a cut. I’d have fought it, but this was Thanksgiving break, a short break. If I can fight if off for such a short time, I’ve then got to fight it off for ALL of Christmas break. I don’t have that kind of stamina. I just can’t do it. So, I gave in quick this break. I gave in BIG TIME! I let them choose what my hair looks like. The way I see it, if we try to compromise, none of us are satisfied. But, seeing that I’ll be dissatisfied either way at least somebody should come out of the whole thing on top. So, I let them have their way with my head. My hair went from being nearly 4 inches long to less than an inch. I’m so sad! I HATE this! Why can’t I just wear my hair the way I want to!? Why can’t I just do what I want to do!? I WANT FREEDOM FOR MY HAIR! FREEDOM! The pic I have placed next to this section of the blog is of David Spade. The hair style he’s got is the one I really want. I think it’s nice, attractive, and cool. I just like it. So, there ya go Mom. That’s what I want. Does it really look that bad? No, I tell you, no. It looks fine. Give me my freedom!

Info On A Rising Star!
Here’s a little info on a new actress who will hopefully be making her way up the ladder in Hollywood. Cherami Leigh is a native of Dallas, Texas and is currently playing the part of Kim in the new film Fast Food Nation. I have not yet had the privilege of seeing the movie, but my sister has and she tells me that Cherami did a wonderful job. You’re probably thinking it’s pretty odd that I’m so interested in this little (current) Hollywood nothing. Well, I’m so interested because Cherami went to my high school and is a pretty good friend of mine. She’s just the cutest and nicest girl you’ll ever meet and she really is a phenomenal actress. I got to know her when I was in the theatre tech program. And, as impressed as I was impressed with her skill back in high school, I hadn’t ever thought that she’d really make it all that big. After all, making it big in Hollywood is INCREDIBLY hard. But, since she does have this chance and is starting to get herself inserted, I am going to give her all the support I can. So, please, go and see Fast Food Nation and especially be on the lookout for Cherami in future films! Good luck Cherami!

Well, that’s all I’ve got for y’all today. I hope you all have a GREAT week and I’ll see ya ‘round TheO! Sayonara!
