"Don't go outside without a jacket or else you'll catch a cold!!" It's a common enough saying in most households. But is it true? Will you really catch a cold if you go outside without a jacket?

Studies show that it's.............. completely FALSE! You could stand outside on a snowy day(something which most likely won't occur in sunny San Diego) wearing nothing but your underwear and not get a cold.    

Not even a small case of the sniffles. See, colds are caused by viruses, and spread from person to person through contact. Though being cold is certainly unpleasant, it doesn't increase your chances of being infected.

Oh, what's this? You don't believe me? You ask why people get colds more often during winter? Well, that's an easy enough question to answer! It's simply because people tend to stay inside when it's cold out. Yes, yes, I know, I kind of stated the obvious.... but it's true! The virus that causes colds is passed through touch. If everybody stays indoors within close proximity to one another, colds can be easily transferred from one person to another.

So next time your mom begins scolding you ("Why didn't you wear that jacket I bought you? I told you! I TOLD YOU TO WEAR IT! Now look, you've gotten a cold. IF you had just worn your new jacket, you wouldn't be feeling so bad right now.") for not wearing a jacket, you can reply calmly and intelligently with this newfound tidbit of knowledge ("MOM, IT'S NOT MY FAULT! For the last time, you that you don't get colds from being cold! It's a VIRUS! ughh... crazy old woman...."). But... if I were you, I wouldn't bother. After all, as a great man and playwright once said, "[insert name of underworld here] hath no fury like a woman scorned".

Wed, 21 Mar 2012 17:04:00 -0700 Shades of Gray http://ace-of-spades.posterous.com/shades-of-gray http://ace-of-spades.posterous.com/shades-of-gray

Shades of Gray  

 

In this world of ours,

This earth swarming with rats

Besieged by darkness

And shedding tears of blood,

There live some…

 

Who are blind to others’ suffering,

Unseeing, blissfully oblivious,

Living in a world of black and white

Where good always triumphs

And rape, torture, and abuse,

Are cruel truths found only in books,

as unreal and fictitious as fairies and dragons.

 

Who are deaf to the world’s pain,

Ignorant, uncaring, naïve

Others’ tortured screams fall on their unhearing ears

Blocking out the harsh realities of life

With expensive Apple ear buds,

And Justin Beiber songs.

 

Who are crippled,

Broken, lifeless, brutally mutilated

Lambs to the slaughter,

Tired of pleading for help,

Of being ignored again and again,

Too weak to do anything,

But wait for the nightmare to end.

  

 

In a merciless world like this,

A canvas splattered with shades of black and red,

a horrific depiction of hell itself,

How could any willingly live?

 

There’s no point in existing.

What is there to live for?

Lost youth, broken spirits, tainted innocence.

Why would any want to endure this?

 

And yet,

A single hand is offered,

one smile is shared,

bursts of light brighten the pitch black world,

tendrils of darkness flinch back

and give way to vibrant color.

 

What once was meaningless and vague

is brought into focus and gains new value.

Crisp and fresh replaces what once was muggy and stale.

Hope brightens what once was a dark, thorny path ahead.

And I think to myself,

Perhaps the world isn’t so hopeless after all.

*It was supposed to be a Message of Hope, but writing about darker things appeal to me more, so.... here it is ^^*

This is a poem from a poetry project that my LA teacher assigned a looooooong time ago.

well.....

Not sure what I'm supposed to write. 

I guess I'll just spam you, yes YOU anonymous reader who most likely doesn't exist and is but a figment of my imagination that I've made up in the hopes to motivate myself to type something, with pictures of Leo.

Leo is half French, half-Korean. He is one of the 3 children who appear on Hello Baby Season 5 with MBLAQ, or Music Boys Live in Absolute Quality (Seriuosly. This is actually the meaning of the name. I am not messing with your head or something. Scout's honor.)

He's sooooooooo adorable!

And another one of the children who appear on the show, Lauren! She's half Canadian, half-Korean.

Aren't they adorable?
