Manic Panic... at the Disco?

Just Kidding, Fuck That Band!

Manic Panic... at the Disco?
The Decline of Western Civilization

Everything is shifting. Can you feel it? It's like everything is falling apart. Like we're going to have to find a foothold to grab ahold of the rubble. Like we are going to have to pick ourselves up and dust off. Like we are going to have to have a steady supply of safety pins to collect our discombobulated parts and attach ourselves back to ourselves.

The resurgence of "Trickle Down Reaganomics" feels more like watching rich, failing assholes who manage to fall up as we break down. Where is the goodness in people?

Oh yeah, all around us... Like, I have never felt like a capital P patriot until this whole Trump deal. When you can reality TV watch someone dismantle your whole country it's super disheartening. But, you can still see in the marches that we are fighting, and that we are fighting for A GOOD COUNTRY FOR EVERYONE. Why does it seem like its so hard for people to want a good country/world for everyone here?

Oh, yeah... It's because some people are afraid of losing what they have. Somehow, the idea that spreading the wealth means that we go without? Like, "I AM SO AFRAID THAT I WILL LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE I AM FORCED TO DRINK CONTAMINATED WATER AND THEN MY BRITA FILTERS WON'T BE ON SALE!"

Yeah, dude. You sound like that. You, like Dennis Leary are an asshole. We are all probably assholes.

Assholes who need hair that reflects the revolution in our hearts but not the sitting on the bed, binge-watching all of the protests on CNN, while internalizing our own hypocrisy. That kind of hair!

For that, I recommend Manic Panic , preferably a few years old, that you embrace from the bottom of an oft-forgotten bin of hair products. You can wildly slick it in your hair and then the jarring sight of yourself in the mirror will make you feel alive enough to make you feel like you are actually a part of the whole viva la revolution, BABY!

Addendumb: Assholes can't make endorsements except for anal bleach. While hair dye is sort of the same I wouldn't recommend Manic Panicing your asshole. But as an asshole I can't tell you what to do.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
