Yeah, I hear ya,
I have similar aspects, just opp. and Cong. instead of squares.
Britney Spears is a perfect example of a train wreck that people are so fascinated with, yet I wonder if this fascination will help people acknowledge their own disfunction or if this type of figure just promotes detachment.( I hope my post makes sense
)
I hope it doesn't just promote detatchment, I hope people do get a look at how critical they really are of themselves, while taking pot shots at celebrities and ignoring their own "things" that they personally have going on.
I still think it is ok to laugh though.....especially at ones self....no one should take themselves so serriously....I sympathise with celebrities quite often for the reason that they are often at the threat of being "designed" by the populace.....who the populace thinks they should be or how they should act....I think for brit. it was an act....or attempt at liberation....I dont believe it worked out......hair is just a physical thing....its often just a symbol of who we think we are..self image..its a part of having an identity. There is nothing wrong with that either.
Some identities get old...especially when so many are doing their best to break them down......a phenoix comes to mind.
Brit, does have alot going on, but....so do other people as well.
It's just more convenient for some to pick at others then take a look at themselves or their own disfuctional behavior.....some people get a kick out of watching others fall....some think it makes them look or feel better about themselves...when really it's just a large indication to the degree that they hate themselves....or mabie they just feel that it may take the spotlight off of their own garbage. It seems that If people are focused on tearing down another, they dont have to care alot about improving themselves o various aspects of their own lives...or even notice that they may have some of the same stuff going on. It is often a form of detactment that people seek...a form of personal neglect.
I am not a Britany Spears fan...never was......never will be.......It's nothing personal...I just have never liked her music(laughing).....alot of people do, and Im
ok with that......but there are some aspects of her that I can appreciate....people have trouble with powerfull people quite often....power scares them....its easier for some to take others down. She is a pretty powerfull girl...with very insane expectations....concidering how I see the average joe acting in society.
Still I hope she pulls herself together....I just get tired of all the hate.
One thing I have noticed is that when I dont like some aspect of someone else, I have to ask myself, "When have I done that...or something similar...." Because its just me puting what I don't like about myself on other people. It's nice to forgive myself...then I dont have problems with celebrities...or others...I don't give them that form of negative attention....or seek only to make them wrong, or nothing, out of some form of self justification...hate.

I have been recieiving alot of the Spears Jokes lately........I don't really worry so much about people pleasing apearances, for the whole sake of JUST pleasing other people ...so its just been kind of odd and an experiment on my part.....can't please everyone........when I had long hair all I ever really heard were Critical remarks....and now that I have cut it, I have recieved a backlash of sorts from alot the people that are arround me.....(laughing)...I don't know...what
can you do?? I think it looks fine...I was suprised cause I didn't really think I would like it either...I wasn't sure....I didn't expect such a reaction either......I am a man!(laughing) so I thought that the Spears Jokes would not be so pronounced........But I got 4 of them yesturday....I thinks some people really just dont have much of anything else to say other then whats going on in pop culture as well....it's lots of things......It is kind of a nervous thing to say after saying hello.
It makes me wonder...are people ever going to want to comunicate about whats going on in their own lives instead of hidding in front of the TV"S.
I didn't do it impusively either.....I did do it myself...but my moms a hairstylist, so I have alot of "hair gear" arround the house. I was thinking about doing it for over a month.
Anyway....I thought it was funny you brought her up, cause I have been hearing alot of it lately.(laughing) Some people are even mad at me.......(laughing)....Like...."why and they hell did you do that!!!!"
There just upset! I mean it really got to them! It wasn't my intention...I
really didn't think they cared about my hair too much....(shrugs)....
I didn't think it would ***** with them as much as it has.....
I think they thought I had long hair as some form of status symbol......and now that I have cut it....it's supposed to be another form of status symbol...its SUPPOSED to mean something....(laughing)...like I gave up on something or even them......weird.
I really have never thought of it myself that way....but I know that other people do quite often.....I'd rather just be happy with who I am regardless of appearances....To some people appearances are the whole of reality.
In a really weird way....its kind of helped me weed out superficial people from my existance.....overall its been possotive....even with some of the negative byproducts.....Its helped me know some of the people arround me better.
