What the...

Why do people do the things they do? That's kind of a broad question, but really, what is wrong with some people. Look at these pictures:

Now don't get me wrong, it's fine if you want tattoos or piercings. I have no problem with it, and in fact I want tattoos myself. But why do people feel the need to go so overboard. I can't understand why people cover their faces and bodies with so many random tattoos and piercings. These things are for life people! It might look good when you're younger and it's the cool thing to do, but the tattoos and piercings (depending on the size) will last you a life time. A tattoo isn't gonna look as good when your skin is wrinkly. Not to mention you might not even be able to tell what it is. My grandpa has a tattoo of a rose on his ankle and you can barley tell what it is because he is wrinkly and the colors look like they have faded. Now imagine that all over your face. The man with all the colorful designs on the picture above will deal with that for the rest of his life. Not only is it bizarre now, but think of when he's old a wrinkly. No one wants to see a crazy old man with a face full of tattoos.


Not only will everyday people look at you twice as you walk by, (and not in a good way) but how can you ever be taken seriously. The first picture of the woman with the "butterflies" on her head must have trouble in life. I don't know when she got the tattoo, but how did she have a job with that thing. She could never really work for a business because I'm sure there wouldn't be much company for her with such an inappropriate tattoo. Also how do you explain that kind of tattoo when you meet new people. Then you just get into a long awkward discussion of a stupid mistake you made when you were young or you lost some crazy bet.

If you must get a tattoo then if anything get it somewhere that can be covered. There's a disadvantage for someone with a huge tattoo of something inappropriate for the workplace. But also people don't really think about the results of piercings. If you get gages or something really big, the hole might never close up. Then you will always be walking around with giant holes in your ears that aren't meant to be there. Plus, the guy in the middle picture looks like he has a giant piercing in his nose. How is that even going to look later on in life. Probably not good.


All the time when I'm at work, I always see these two older men who come in and they have tons of piercings and tattoos on their faces and arms. Now I'm sure they were the cool kids of their time, but obviously they didn't think ahead to what it would look like when they were older. Honestly, they look ridiculous and if it were me i would regret the decision to pierce my face and get tattoos in visible places.


I know I've been bashing tattoos, but I like tattoos. There just should be a limit on when your going over the top and later on you might regret it. There should be someone to tell you that you will look like an idiot. But for the next few people they must have been alone because no friend would allow this to happen:

How would you like to be a business person trying to introduce skull man, cow butt, or checkerboard face? I would even be embarrassed to introduce them as my friends. The moral of the story is to think about your tattoos and piercings before you actually get them. Something that permanent should not be done on a whim and if it is you will probably regret it. Especially if it's something embarrassing or just plain weird. If you really want a crazy tattoo and don't care what other people think about it, go for it. Just remember if you need to remove it, it would cost a lot of money and cause probably a lot of pain. Have fun getting your face tattoos lasered off!

Nerdy television show obsessions

I have nothing else to blog about at the moment, so I will tell you all about my nerdy obsession with Supernatural. Supernatural is my favorite television series and I could spend all day watching it. The title pretty much describes the show completely. It's about two brothers who go on "adventures" to find supernatural things and destroy, or sometimes help them. Before I say anything else I have to post a picture of them: These are the brothers and main characters of Supernatural. In every episode, Sam and Dean go on some crazy road trip looking for monsters and mythical creatures. Yes, I know this is nerdy and a little over the top but I love the show. Not only do the brothers have the ability to catch a viewer's attention with their good looks, but surprisingly the show can get a little emotional. There's nothing more emotional then when two strong men start crying about things that are important to them. I have never cried over this show, but my friend who shares the same obsession of Supernatural was in tears when same "died". But he came back to life so no worries.

This show has a lot of action in it and to me it's really intense at some points. Also I noticed a lot of ideas from horror movies and concepts from things such as the original Brothers Grimm, which by the way I got the original stories for Christmas.

This is Supernaturals representation on the Brothers Grimm Snow White. In the plot of the show, the little girl is really an older girl sick in the hospital. The little girl symbolizes the fear she has about being in the hospital and the whole episode is about her dad reading her fairy tales while she is sick in bed and somehow the girl is making the fairy tales come true. She recreates the big bad wolf and it actually kills someone. It's kind of ridiculous and out there but it's really interesting. To me it's also a cool twist on the fairy tales that are supposed to have the happy endings and the character gets what they want.

Another on of my favorite episodes was one about a wishing well. People threw coins into a special fountain and their wishes came true. One of the wishes was by a little girl that her teddy bear could come to life. The scenes with the giant teddy bear were more comical, until the bear became suicidal and ended up killing himself. Yikes, not exactly what a little girls wants to see her teddy bear do. Another on of the wishes was a really nerdy guy wished for the pretty popular girl to love him. Turns out his wish wasn't what he planned on and the girl was obsessed with him. He ended up not liking the girl anymore and needing Sam and Deans help to put an end to the wishes and the wishing well.

Most of the episodes carry on like this. The first scene shows a supernatural problem: a man was found dead with his heat missing, scarecrows that come to life, ghosts in an old house, and a lot of random things about demons. Then Sam and Dean find out the problem where ever it is, drive down there in their old fixed up car, and save the day using their smarts of all things supernatural. However the series does have a plot line. Sam and Deans mother was killed by the "yellow-eyed" demon and they are on a mission to find the demon and kill him. They eventually do so in one of the seasons and a sort of new plot line is formed. But in their spare time between killing demons and finding angels, they save everyday people from the supernatural things. So yes it is the ultimate nerd show, but it's also a mixture of horror and action movies all in one and will definitely keep you interested and hooked to the series until the last episode.
