Okay, some of you have seen this show- model-like women (I think that one of them is a playboy bunny), paired up with a 'nerd'- trekkers, scientists, guys who haven't had a date in... ever. They live in a house together and need to team up and learn about eachother, then compete with the others as pairs are eliminated.
Now, though they pass them off as 'geeks' and 'ditzes', appearances can be deceiving. Some of these girls are really smart, and some of the guys great at socializing.
The other night the guys were 'made-over' and auctioned off by their partners as sexy hunks. The winners who 'bought' them were taken to a bar to get to know eachother.
So, were these guys 'worth' more when they looked like models? They seemed to get higher bids, and their female counterparts sure cheered when they saw their new and 'improved' looks.

What You See Around You
So, you wake up in the morning, you go on your way to school, work, errands, whatever. You may smile at those around you or keep to yourself. You think of many things during the day, you see many people, places, objects, but what are you really seeing? Does the world look friendly or scary to you? Do you ponder the beauty of a flower, or feel anger that they aren't as nice as your neighbour's? Do you feel glad for happy families, or wonder why those parents don't keep their children quiet?
When you get home, end your day and lie in bed, alone with your thoughts, are you feeling a positivity, peace, and tranquility, or rage, hatred, and negativity? Either way, what makes you feel that way? What is it that directs our inner eye, thoughts, and feelings?

Beauty Is Relative
Welcome to my Blog!
I have been thinking alot lately about society's views on beauty. The standards of attractiveness have changed so much over the centuries- from sturdy to dainty, aristocratic features to china-doll.
Each culture sees different things as beautiful, and our own outlook on the world starts shaping from early life. What we see as lovely, valuable, comes from what we are told, and even more by what we see.
So should we naturally seek to obtain what we see around us, or do we fight against it. Do we go along with the way things are, or do we think that a person's worth is more than skin-deep?
Please share your own opinions.
