The Men In Black

The Men In Black

Today was one of those days... One of those days where you don't get out of bed until the sun is setting (looking at you daylight savings) and you realize you've wasted your entire day looking up weird sh*t on the internet. Fueled by YouTube's "recommended for you" feature and an affinity for conspiracy theories, I stumbled across this video outlining high-profile accounts of supposed encounters with the "Men in Black;" a group of men that intimidate those who have witnessed extraterrestrial life or UFO's into staying quiet (the funniest part is that Dan Aykroyd is number 1. And no, its not because he was in Ghostbusters.)



The craziest story (in my opinion) is the one from the thumbnail: Supposedly this father and his daughter were in some field alone when he decided to take a picture of his daughter. When he got the picture developed, he was surprised to see a figure in the background as there was no one else with them that looked like that when he took the picture. He sent the picture to the police, Kodak (who later concluded that there was no tampering with the photo), and the media looking for answers. He began getting letters from all across the world as this "spaceman" photo was popularized as purported evidence of extraterrestrial life. A few weeks later, the father, actively avoiding media attention and keeping a relatively low profile, claims to have been approached by a group of black suit-clad men asking to be shown the site of the photo for government analysis. After the father obliged, these men reportedly started berating the man, telling him that he was mistaken, that there was someone there with him that day, and that he should never speak of it again. They then got into their car and sped away, leaving him stranded miles away from home.


Obviously don't believe this at all (don't come to my apartment, Men in Black), but it's definitely worth a watch.

Also, Jack Ruby was working for LBJ.

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.
