These Clowns Got To GO!

It's 2016 and we have a Clown Problem.

Get these clowns the hell out of here! Package them up, overnight flat rate them to any location as far from here (I guess the whole country considering they are all over) as the UPS planes can take them. Dump them somewhere, the ocean maybe, a random island. Don't care where. I'll even pay for the shipping.

Personally, I'm not naturally scared of clowns. I have zero problem with them being normal people that make balloons and put on fun shows for kids. All well and good. But it's October 4th and we have these deranged, creepy, killer-looking things running around everywhere. College campuses, the woods, car washes, even people's porches. THEY ARE EVERYWHERE. And it ain't funny anymore. I get you're trying to have a nice Halloween prank, we all do, but it is not going to stop here. Look at a calendar. We have the majority of this month until the peak holiday, and each night more and more of these psychos are popping up. Actually not confined to the nighttime, some of these freaks are out in broad daylight.

My prediction: this gets waaaaaaaaaaaay out of hand.

We've already heard of clowns going around with guns, machetes, bats, all kinds of weapons. And it's only day 4. Tonight hasn't even happened yet. This is a purge-esc epidemic and it must end. But it's going to get way way way worse before it gets better. Mostly because of one thing: our society's mindset is not balanced, we love extremes.

So these clowns are going to ramp it up, get more attention, more notoriety. What will they do? Who knows. I know for the most part they seem to act alone. But imagine 20 clowns with weapons running around?

The other end of the spectrum is the common people. Still not normal by any means, but not clowns. I've seen videos of clowns getting their a***s BEAT. Mobs of people banding together as if they were going into battle. A lot of people have coulrophobia (fear of clowns), but a lot of other people simply won't put up with nonsense. So they're literally CLOWN HUNTING.

And while I feel bad for the normal clowns that are not harming a soul, the unruly figures that are about are provoking and chasing people, carrying firearms, and generally just overall being sketchy. Not saying they deserve to get hunted, not saying they don't deserve to get roughed up. Just situational turbulence this time of year.

Which is even crazier because (and I really feel like it will) when this whole charade escalates, that's headline #1 trending currently. Not about the Presidential Election, but the fact that The United States of America has a CLOWN problem on our hands.

It's autumn of 2016, and we have a clown problem.

2016 just keeps getting stranger by the minute, and it isn't over.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
