Women are from Mars...

Dear Readers,

So I randomly asked my brother and his friend what I should write about today and they suggested girls, followed by the top ten reasons men don't understand women. I can sum it in one: Men are stupid. They laughed at this comment and my brother agreed. So, why is it men and women are so different? I'll try to come up with some differences.

1. Women are much more effective when it comes to communication. I once heard a funny phrase about the fastest way to speak an idea, "Telegraph, Telephone or tel-a-woman." Although this is meant to mock women, the idea couldn't portray more truth. Women are great communicators and can spread any kind of news like wildfire. I'm pretty sure the origin of this speed can be found in the ancient tradition of going to the restroom in herds. Not to mention, when guys get together they usually only discuss three things: women, sports and their choice between cars, sleep or food. Thus, women are much more informed.

2. Men participate in pretty pointless activities. Women have hobbies similar in nature, but no where close in number. Racing cars, sporting tournaments, etc, are all pretty pointless. Yes, sports keep men in shape, but there is no reason to base an entire month off of basketball. Watching these sports on television dominates the list in idleness. I love sports, but they have so many needless applications.

3. Chick-flicks. Now, I would like to ask a question. What classifies a chick-flick? Women love them. Men hate them. I love them(Except for "Win a date with Tad Hamilton," that movie has a terrible flavor). Until that receives a good answer, I will let your imagination give an in-depth description of the different genders' opinions.

4. I have kind of the same policy about what men and women think about love. Women strive for it and men...to be quite honest, I don't know what men think. Although, I enjoy the comedy sketch by Shaun Rapier about the BYU Board with Wedding rings and dresses. Watch that to find another explination of how men and women are different.

5. Women take forever to get ready. Case and point: I had to be over to a rehearsal at 10 this morning. I got up at 9:45 and was still there with five minutes to spare. Also in my house this morning was one of my brother's female friends. She appeared to been up for about an hour when I was running out the door and she was still in the bathroom straightening her hair. Women take forever. Especially at dances. They need about 3 hours. Although, I love the song entitled, "Waitin' on a woman." It points out that men don't mind anticipating the girl's arrival.

There are many more differences, but if we were to explore them all I would be here all night. I can't pretend to even begin to know them all. So, Curtis, you and your girlfriend should feel honored I took my subject from your inspiration. :)

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breath, shine like gold...

Dear Readers, Ok, so I can't fit the entire title into the title box. It's a good song, go look it up: "You make me smile." The title can apply to anyone, I've found. The rest of the lyrics would probably refer to a best friend or a significant other, but anyone can make you smile. They all have the own way of doing it. Some are just funny all the time and you can't help smiling when you're around that person. I know some who take care of people so well that you just smile when they're doing something for another. Others you can talk to about your problems and no matter what they say, it seems to make sense and you feel better...thus a smile. Ok, a smile doesn't always come in that case, but people usually smile after that. Anyone can have a blonde moment and make everyone smile because of it. I'm glad I've got friends who can do all of these: have blonde moments, take care of others or have an episode of hyperactivity that you can't he...

Am I Proud to Be an American?

This weekend is the 4th of July, or Independence Day in the United States of America. One of my favorite songs during this time of celebrating the country is "God Bless the USA." The words paint a detailed picture of the beauty of the United States, both in a physical and emotional aspect. Our country is often depicted in a majestic manner such as this, making it seem like the greatest in the world and we often hear those bold words, "I'm proud to be an American."  With all of the issues that have been cropping up over the past couple of years such as impeachment, systemic racism, foreign intervention, and most significantly the COVID-19 pandemic, I have reflected deeply about what we celebrate with the 4th of July. These issues are just a few of the many that have made me wonder about the country we praise so proudly.  Am I really proud to be an American?  Thomas Jefferson wrote the candid words of the Declaration of Independence, which were th...

That's What Makes the World Go 'Round!

Dear Reader, Bonus points go to whoever can name what movie today's song title comes from. Comment below to submit your answers. Today I wanted to give you an update on the great " ALS Ice Bucket Challenge " that is taking the internet by storm. What started as a small campaign to raise awareness and funds for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's Disease) has grown and caused thousands of people to dump ice or ice water over their heads. That is how it works: one person nominates another to the challenge. That nominated person then has 24 hours to either donate $100 to the ALS foundation or have a bucket of ice dumped over their head. I would like to think most people are both accepting the ice bucket challenge and donating to charity. I won't judge, though. With all of this publicity that the ALS campaign has received, it made me think of other fads that people participated in during the 1920s and 1930s. Did you know that people regularly participated...
