The Start

Alright so obviously here is my first blog-well on here anyways. I'm not going to say one specific thing i'm going to talk about cause i know some people are all like "i'm gonna gossip about stars! or be a critic" but actually i just talk and write about everything ha not that it matters right? anyways sometimes i'll be pretty philosophical other times i'll just be whever.
Okay so question...how the heck do they hold swords in veggie tales? ha

So on another note: Currently in my school there is a protest to the recent decision to make us all wear uniforms next year. While I completely reject the idea- especially since this will be my senior year- I find the constant complaints without action to be quite pointless. There are points to both sides.
Positives: Cheaper in the long run, protects from gangs, and people can't form clicks based on clothing
Negatives: It takes away from individuality and expression
Now obviously there are far more pro's than con's, but the level of each holds it own. One thing that should be pointed out though is that many people use this con as a way to justify why the uniform is wrong, yet they fail to see they do not actually dress as a form of expression but rather as a way to fit in socially. When you buy what everyone else wears because everyone else wears it or because you want to show off how much money you have and such you aren't actually expressing yourself or being an individual but conforming per say. This isn't to say that there is something wrong with this, because quite frankly this is natural. There are a few who are still expressive though, such as goths- though that is becoming conformative as well. I personally feel I'm one of the most fashionably expressive people in my school, and hearing about the uniforms was bunk- a bummer- yet it's not the end of the world. I see it as a challenge rather. For everyone who says "I express myself through clothing." and you happen to be in the same situation, see it as a challenge. To truly be an individual you must be able to change what others push upon you. Find ways to bend around and show your self even with all the rules :D I know I've already started my plans to modify the outfits for next year.
