I haven't used this stuff since I was little, and haven't really had a cold that made it necessary to use it but this past week I have lived by this stuff. Vicks Vaporrub I love you. I was quickly brought back to my childhood when I smelled this stuff. Edward not so much. I'd come within a foot of him and he'd respond with a quick cover of the nose and some comment along the lines of "that is burning off my nose hairs". Obviously I couldn't smell the extent
of it as he could so I was on cloud nine. So kudos to Vicks :).While I've been sick I have also spent a lot...no an excessive amount of time online. While facebook stalking does consume a lot of my internet browsing when you spend an excessive amount on here it requires you to find new things to browse. So here are a few things I've been looking at lately.
1. Online window shopping. Yes this is an actual activity. I go to these websites fill my cart up with hundreds of dollars in clothing, accesories, and shoes look through it and wish that i had the money to splurge on these things. You would think that this activity would depress me, it doesn't. In fact it motiviates me to find a job...which hasn't happened yet. So obviously this method of motivation isn't working.
2. Catching up on my gossip websites. I have found that I only go to these when I'm bored to an unhealthy extreme. That part makes me feel fantastic because it means that I've grown up a little bit and can go without being sucked into the gossip scene. That's not to say that I can simply walk by all the gossip magazines when I'm in the grocery store...ask edward, it's like a desease. Almost as bad as me trying to walk by the Hershey Almond stand in Hannaford without picking one up...which might I add RARELY happens.
3. Youtube. I feel like that's all I really have to say when it comes to this website. Youtube is like a drug...you can't just look at one video. I find myself looking at one thing and then clicking on the "related video" which in reality isn't usually related at all. and this cyrcle continues until my laptop gives me the lovely "16 minutes remaining" warning.
4. If all else fails I browse blogs.
Which brings me to the point of this post. Opinions. Ask anyone I love....LOVE...sharing my opinion on EVERYTHING. I don't have to know a single thing about it and could still have an opinion. I also enjoy hearing the opinions of others...but I feel like now a days I need to put a disclaimer right after that statement saying "although I enjoy hearing the opinions of others, I strongly dislike hearing people state said opinions in disrespectful and closeminded ways."
I get so angry when I see blogs that talk down about those who they don't agree with. I understand that people have different opinions and that everyone is allowed to have those, that's why we live in America, but being disrespectful with those opinions is not my idea of respect. You can say you dislike something without using adjectives that you would only save for the most disgusting disturbing situations.
I was reading this blog and it mentioned gay marriage. While I am pro gay marriage and support gay rights I can respect those who do not feel the same way. I love having debates about this subject and enjoy hearing their opinions I can not stand hearing them describe these things as disgusting, and horrible. I can respect that you don't agree, but I can't agree with using these horrible terms.
Maybe that's my opinion...maybe that's the point. We can say whatever we want and people can't stop it. Oh America, you've made life's big questions a little gray.
