So after a while of not watchin' TV I decided to flit through some channels. I came to this one where these people are in some contest to be a model or somethin', I forget what it's called. Anyway, this was I believe the first episode because people were talkin' bout their background and stuff. So yeah, they were showin' what all the people looked like, and I must say this, BLECH! My god, they were all like frickin' twigs. I mean, ya look at the actual model whose judgin' and stuff and she's much more meatier, and she's actually attractive. But these kids, and they really were kids cause they were young, have like bones stickin' out everywhere and are like an inch thick and just blech. Even the model thought they were all too skinny. I had to turn the program off cause I was gettin' a horrible stomach ache just lookin' at it, I mean where the heck did food go? So why are people gettin' so skinny when REAL models ain't that small?
I'll tell ya why, MAGAZINES! Ya know what they do? They take pictures of models, nice semi-healthy (they could still use some freakin' meat, I swear), and then they use computers to make 'em look like twigs. So, of course, unknowin' teens and now kids (oh yeah, it's gettin' to people younger and younger each year) are thinkin' that's how they really look and want to copy it, since it's EVERYWHERE! I mean come on. I can't blame the people for wantin' to be like that though, at that age they just wanna be admired, tis hormones ya know, and thanks to the new hormones they're forcin' on chickens and cows which gets in the food we eat, our hormones are hormonier (I don't think that's a real word, but ya get the point) then ever.
What really gets at me is this, WHY THE HECK ARE MAGAZINES DOIN' THAT??? What do they want, to decrease the freakin' population by killin' people? I mean come on, who would do such a thing? Are they tryin' to make a new fashion that requires less material for clothes? WHAT IS IT? Whatever it is, it better stop or Semok here is gonna be havin' a talk with 'em, and it won't end pretty, I can tell ya that. So many people are just acceptin' this thing too, like it doesn't matter. It's the same with drugs and alcohol too. People in my school are blabbin' about how they got high and jokin' around about all the stupid stuff they did, AND THE TEACHERS ARE LAUGHIN' BACK! Am I the only one that finds this sickenin'? I mean I know why some people do that kind of stuff, but they can get help, and they need help, and WE can help if we'd stop actin' like it's so unimportant.
Shoot, I was suppose to make this entry short, guess I'm a ranter at heart, eh? Anyway, just had to write about that. There's gonna be some major changes 'round here though, some major changes. I just gotta figure out how...hmmm...well, there's strength in numbers, so RISE UP DARN IT!
