I'd like to meet:
Rainey
Days
As
far as the kind of guys I go for, I hate the macho guy type--too
arrogant and bullheaded for me. I'm not into those flashy clubby guys
either,
so what if you can get us in VIP--I thought the evolution of society
meant moving AWAY from a caste system, not creating artificial and
superficial ones??? Show me how you're educating people about the
racism
Americans have endured, that would impress me! I'm not into guys that
showoff their jobs or money, that only works on gold-diggers, plus it's
like
a girl showing off her boobs (kinda like "I'll show you my plastic if
you show me yours" type thing). I also don't like guys who
automatically
think they're smarter than girls just because they're conditioned from
the status quo of overwhelming male dominance in our world, ie, no
patronizing or condescending guys, please leave your ego's at the
door!
Oh and no stupid boys either, if you have the IQ of wood, make like a
tree and leave. I'm not into wussy guys. By wussy, I mean.... I'm
half-japanese and if you can't hold your own and think the food I eat
is gross
or weird, go find some other girl because I don't need guys like that.
I like a guy with a sense of adventure and who loves to try new things,
I also love walks on the beach with that special someone. I want a guy
who's loyal, who will treat me like a gentleman should. My ex bf was
the successful, all-American physician, JFK Jr.- lookin type. Okay, I'm
through with that type, they're nice to look at and showoff to your
girls but don't make the best choice for soulmates/Lifemates. I've
learned
my lesson...the hotter the guy is, the more opportunity he has to cheat
on you and no matter what, it's just too much for most guys to resist,
ie: Donald Trump, Kobe Bryant, Frank Gifford, Hugh Grant, etc.. all.
These
*lucky* guys were all married to beautiful, intelligent, successful
women and they all cheated on them!Watch "Newlyweds" on MTV and see how
insecure Jessica Simpson acts all the time being married to Nick
Lachey!
I'm not gonna be stupid and naive and say it would never happen to me,
so I'm not taking any chances cuz I only wanna be married one time in
my life. Maybe, I'm just too nice and trusting of a girl but why should
we change who we are? My dad always taught me that "the world is what
you make of it" and I'm going to stick to my values and whatever guy
who
can't appreciate that it's his loss. God, I just want a decent man with
a cute, charming, warm, humble, & funny personality (sense of humor is
important), and likes kids (I'm ready to get married and start a
family). .............
"
MY RENAISSANCE MAN.......... My Renaissance Man would
be someone who is well-rounded and who has an eclectic combination of
the best traits of all the cultures and races of humankind. If I could
create my perfect guy, he'd be humble & wise like Master Yuen Wo-Ping,
funny like Steve Martin, goofy & playful like Jackie Chan, deep &
spiritual like Gandhi, smart like Albert Einstein, confident like Will
Smith, sexy like Antonio Banderas, and have the looks of Keanu Reeves
or
Russell Wong. ^_- yummmmmie!! ............. Oh yea, I have this thing
for
BEAUTY MARKS, I loooove'em!!! On both guys and girls! The perfect spot
for him to have one (1) would be just above the left part of his lips
or if not, then (2) around the corner of his left eye. I don't know why
I like them, it's a mystery to me. When I was little I used to use
black pens and draw them on my face and try them in different
positions...LOL, my parents would always wonder why their little girl
was always drawing on her face! ......
Change:
I think it's as simple as that. We
all would like to blame governments, institutions, doctrines, and faiths
for everything that ails the world today. It's convenient to do so and
it doesn't point fingers at anyone. It also doesn't change anything.
Because behind these intangible forces of human nature are humans. But
the majority of humans, once they've reached that certain age have left
the scope of change. Our energies would be better spent if we focused on
the human children. Human children learn how to be human adults through
behavioral emulation. They segregate themselves into roles based upon
example. More often than not, these examples are based on our bodies,
whether we are fat or thin, Asian or Latin, tall or short...why is Tiger
Woods associated more w/African Americans? It's because he looks more
Black than Asian even though he's 50/50. Do
you see it now? To have a perfect world, we need idealist adult
humans, but where do we find perfectly ideal adult humans? I don't know, I'm
not even sure if many of them exist. How will The Perfect World ever
develop if there aren't any or only a few ideal humans to emulate? Humans
whose thoughts and behaviors aren't defiled by the shells they're
housed in.
Give children security.
That is how
I plan to raise my children. Give them the security to embrace change
and try new things. Change is a scary thing. That is the one aspect of
human existence that transcends gender, age, race, religion, culture,
and time. Yes, time. Too often, we live only in the now and forget about
the past...not slavery and the past of our country, I'm talking about
the past of humanity. When considering issues such as abortion, racism,
or homosexuality...how many of us have thought, "hmmm, how would an
ancient Macedonian feel about that?" Any human ideal that is *truly* ideal
should hold its truth 1,000 years ago, as well as today, and 1,000
years well into the future...don't you think? I do. That's why I want to
give my children security, because I'm not an ideal human and I don't
want them to fear changing from the way they have been brought up and
raised if they are exposed to a new and better way to think.
And that
is why the Republican Party sucks. They do not embrace change. (and
because they favor the wealthy, yada yada...) I hope you packed your
sunblock because we're going to be living in hell for the next four years.
And that is also why haters should STFU when they criticize White
people who "act Black" or White people who "act Asian" or Hispanics who
"act White" or...well, you get the point. These people have overcome
the behaviorally-based roles that society has segregated upon us because
of the type of shell our minds and souls are contained in. Instead of
hating them, you should hope to achieve the same someday. To be a Black
that "acts White?" No.... To have a capacity of thought that extends
beyond your shell.
Books:
I don't read books much anymore, the INTERNET is my book! ;) Things that make you go hmmmm:
-look at Iraq, people can't be bombed into subjugation. But they can be brainwashed into it. This is where art comes in.-those that are afraid to have faith mock those who do
-those who have the courage to believe are mocked by those who don't
-if you are positive and believe in the natural goodness of humankind, the disapproved shall come to you for fear that it is true.
-never forget the moments in your life when you feel like you can do anything, for if you do, your life will amount to nothing
-what if it was published in all the media tomorrow that heaven (or afterlife) has scientifically been proven to exist, how would you live your life differently?
-what if heaven (or afterlife) was scientifically proven to not exist, would you still live your life the same? -DOUBLE STANDARDS: How can guys say that they'll never date an ugly girl NOT come off as shallow, superficial jerks BUT when a girl says that she'll never date a poor guy, she comes off as a gold-digging bitch?-What's more shallow? Dating for LOOKS or dating for MONEY? I think dating for looks is WAY more shallow than dating for money. To have looks, all you have to do is be born but to have money, it takes planning, ambition, discipline, and hard work. So, I think guys who say they'll never date an ugly girl are definitely more shallow than girls who say they'll never date a poor guy.-So, ladies, if poor guys are not for you, say it and be proud! Don't let anyone make you feel guilty about it either because if they don't date ugly girls, they're no better than you are and, in fact, they're even more shallow than we are for doing that!
WHY SEXISM & RACISM IS SO BAD FOR HUMANITY (not the obvious answer):
-My belief as to why sexism and racism are so bad isn't the most obvious answer but it's probably one of the simplest, so this should be easy. As humans, we're screwed . We're messing up this planet more than you realize and I'm as guilty as the next person because of the lifestyle we're all accustomed to and selling to the rest of the planet. How many more generations of humans living the Western lifestyle can this planet sustain? I don't know. But, I do know that one or two or eight or 263 of us out there have the answer to humanity's problems, who are they? Heck if I know! And heck if you know either. Such is the case, every single human being on this planet *absolutely* needs to feel like she or he has the potential within her/himself to come up with the answers to humanity's problems. It's a numbers game, all about statistics, simple as that. The higher the practice of sexism and racism, the lower the odds of that/those special someone(s) coming to fruition. That's why I'm also kind of against abortion. I'm so afraid that we've already killed our next Galileo or Einstein.
I still believe there is (as yet to be discovered) a set of core, divine human values that do hold true quantifiably and throughout the test of time. I've been reading a lot this year about Democritus of Abdera and his tenants on society. It's amazing what he came up with and much of it still makes sense today (he lived in the age before Common Era). He's just an example of what the human mind can think up. Although, he did live the life of the aristocracy. That's why I think we really need to come up with and apply some sort of universally divine belief so that EVERYONE on this Earth can live such a life because it's all about mental freedom. Racism, sexism, any kind of social -ism serve only as mental chains to hold back human minds from free-forming and abstract thought. If 1 human was able to come up with such profound ideas 2, 464 years ago, imagine what 6 billion humans could come up with today? Everyone of every nation, race, culture, and creed: I am pleading with you, we need to do this to save the human race or else we will die by our own hands and no other.
The afterlife:
Do you think that afterlife exists? Before you answer that, let me ask you another question....do you believe in alien civilizations? What do you think an alien civilization might be like? This is harder to do than you think because you have to remove ALL THE HUMAN AND EARTH-CENTRIC BIAS that you have learned up to this point in your life...that is quite a lot of built up bias! Okay, now, do you think that alien civilizations would share a similar belief in the afterlife? So, if the belief of an afterlife is as universal as laws of physics and theorems of mathematics, will you see aliens' souls when you die? What if they *didn't* believe in an afterlife? Wouldn't that completely invalidate this whole world-wide, centuries-old belief of an afterlife? How could something so universal exist for one self-aware, intelligent civilization and not another? I have to believe though, it's too depressing to not.
What do you think is the best thing about being human?
I think the best thing about being human is abstract thought. Pretty much every other aspect of our daily lives is similar to other organisms on this planet, ie, we eat, sleep, reproduce, build homes, interact in social groups, etc, etc. Dolphins are supposed to be pretty smart right? Well, do you think they ever sit around and talk to each other asking, "Hey, I wonder if those humans sit around and talk to each other asking if we sit around and talk to each other asking if they..." hehehehe! Ya followin' meeeeh!? (^_^)
There's another thing that I just thought about, too. Some people might be thinking that "love" is an emotion reserved only for humans but I saw on a PBS documentary one time that elephants have been observed "to cry" when a member of their herd dies...pretty interesting huh? I've also heard the same about gorillas. Now, "falling in love" is a whole other issue. I don't think scientists know if elephants or gorillas are able to "fall in love" but that's only because we don't know how to talk to them.
Another thing that's neat about being human is that we tell stories to each other. We tell stories of our lives and we make up stories of the lives we want to lead. I don't think scientists have observed any other organisms exhibiting that type of behavior. If they have, I haven't seen it on PBS....yet.
Humans aren't the only animals that lie though. My cousin's dog lied to her once. He lives indoors w/her and her hubby and he sits by the front door every time he needs to go pee. One time, he sat there and she took him out. He got in the position to pee and it looked like he was trying to but he was faking it, nothing came out and he only wanted to go outside to play! He actually lied to her about having to pee!
Do you ever think about how lucky you are to be born a human being? We have such foundationally powerful, intellectual, abstractly creative, and emotional tools given to us as a part of our existence in this universe. What are you doing with what was given to you?
Human Society Will Lead To Self-Extinction:
Why? It's simple, one word: GREED
May ask I you what you think is the foundation of modern society? Most would answer individual liberty and capitalism. When you combine the two, what do you get? GREED. The reason why society is going to collapse is because GREED prevents us from designing a type of society that conforms to the laws of self-sustaining perpetuation. In other words, we replenish as much resources as we use if not more. However, I think most people in society have this strange idea that we have tons of resources or they'll be dead by the time they have to worry about it and so they end up wastefully burning up our fixed resources at a dangerous rate. And by RESOURCES, I don't mean your traditional idea of what resources are, no, I mean EVERY LIVING SYSTEM on Earth is in decline and EVERY LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM of Earth is in decline and these two things make up the biosphere. Our biosphere is shrinking! Not only will we die off but we're going to take 30 million living species of organisms on this planet with us.
Some people say that they wish they were born in the future because it's going to be so great w/all the new inventions...well, at the rate that we're recklessly burning up our resources, I wouldn't count on that. We are plundering resources from the biosphere and someday in the future, it will be illegal to do that. Just ask Ray Anderson ( CEO of Interface ) about that.
How Open-Mindedness Encourages Technological Advance in Society:
I was watching "Bicentennial Man" on TV the other night (again btw, it's such a great love story) and I never realized that in order for our technological to grow and advance, our society needs to be open-minded and "into" technology. If there isn't a perceived market for new technological breakthroughs, then corporations won't spend millions on R&D. It seems like old people are so resistant to change and new things. That's truly unfortunate because their attitudes hold back the breakthroughs that would give their children better lives than their own. Isn't that the most basic of all parental attitudes?
One thing I would like to see never change though, is the attitude that embraces change.
READ THIS IF YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO READ ANYTHING ELSE:
Life is what you make of it. That's what our dad always taught us. Please don't be apathetic because when the majority of society becomes complacent, it's the malevolent that'll end up shaping our world, molding it into one that will benefit those sharing their same malevolent ideology. I feel fairly sure and strong of who I am and what my values are and I'm quite certain I'll be passing these traits onto my children. That's why I'm trying to make sure that the future will hold a world where their beliefs will be held with mutually received openness and respect and not squashed and incinerated because it doesn't fit the hard line of the status quo as during the Nazi Era in Europe.
