Does Beauty Matter?

Being BeautifulOk, I’m going to tell you about the Law of Attraction that exists in our society. However, let me make this clear. I am not talking of the metaphysical Law of Attraction that many believe the universe is propelled by. I’m not speaking of the “positive thinking gets you everywhere” mentality, nor am I condemning it. However, I am writing about the Law that governs how people treat each other, that explains some inequality, that gives people who have this an advantage, and that makes our prejudgments downgrade those who don’t. The Law that I am talking about is the law that our society has created that gives the attractive more opportunities, better income, and many advantages in our daily lives. It isn’t fair, but it happens each and everyday. I’ll try to attempt to explain why we do this and how we can use this knowledge to help us to get ahead.

Why are Sodas Bad for you?

Sodas are Bad for YouSometimes I find it quite amusing to see how stubborn many people in society are. On the back of cigarettes, it clearly tells you the consequences of smoking.

Yet so many people relish in its presence as they down bottle after bottle. However, I’m a pretty understanding person. I mean if you are like me, then I like to know the reason behind an objection before I am truly convinced. I wouldn’t expect you to stop drinking soda without enough supporting evidence. Therefore, I will analyze every aspect of soda that makes it bad and pass the message on to you. If you can still drink soda after I’m through, then you are the paradigm of a hard-headed, narrow-minded, self-indulging brain washed zombie!

Bodybuilders and Power Lifters

Today while I was working out, I made a new friend. I’ll just call him Joe. Joe was curious about my reasoning for working out, after all, I’m not a student athlete. I told him that I was training currently for a bodybuilding competition and afterward I would try to further pursue fitness modeling or future shows. I am a pretty tranquil, easy-going person almost all of the time, however, I sort of have a pet peeve about people who try to fake like they know what you are talking about, and when in reality they are clueless. Joe asked me what weight I planned to lift for the competition.
