Forcing change, in mood and politics

    1- The fashion:

I've read once that the color yellow fuels the nerves and purifies the body, while orange helps energy levels. I’m a morning person, I LOVE the sun and I’m simply obsessed with huge windows, I talk about them all the time it’s quite annoying, and so yes I do believe that colors do affect us to some degree. However I find a little hard to blame certain colors around me for my mood or state of mind! Though I have to admit, wearing lace or, in general, a girly outfit can instantly change the atmosphere and force a contented smile. 

2- The books: 

Now Let’s talk politics, Ron Paul is an American republican politician and physician, in his book “The Revolution: A Manifesto” discusses how the concept of “living constitution” was turned into a dead constitution, How National security issues have actually threatened the well-being of Americans and others. And how forced compliance with international treaties and laws has disrupted national sovereignty. The revelation here is that needed drastic transformation that should restore justice and prosperity to those who deserve it the most.  Similarly, “Death of Common Sense” by Philip K. Howard discusses how the today American system of regulation has been tremendously controlling and authoritative, but with very little effect in serving the people as bureaucracy takes over and irrational administration of government continues.   

  

Reading with Style

I’m one of those who messed out a lot in life, for so long, fashion and beauty weren't necessarily things I felt the need to know about, most of life I was busy with school and work, first studying literature, then came three different jobs, and then law school, before I know it I was in my thirties thinking why hasn't anyone told me about what can eyelash curlers amazingly do, and  why a designer bag was important!! 

now Although today I think I do fashion quite well, I’m still catching up with makeup tricks and learning to paint my nails!  I just have the tendency to have to wait at least one entire year to follow a certain trend; that was the case  for skinny jeans, aviator sunglasses and studs & spikes which now are all trends I reluctantly, and not entirely, have embraced.

Reading on the other hand, is a problem, I can’t stand a forwarded video, but I’ll read a forwarded link to a 10 pages article, whether about Breaking Bad finale or history of Christianity in the 15th century. I don’t even consider myself a true bookworm; I just PREFER reading over other visual attractions. I always, secretly and after further self-analysis, rationalize that to being extremely narcissistic that I can only enjoy information when they are narrated on my head with my own ugly voice.  Don’t get me wrong I love watching movies and tv shows, I just can’t take educational or informative doses of any sort unless they are in a readable format.

And if you think all that reading obsession made me smarter, think again, I’m still that same average person I've always known except sometimes I suspect I’m deteriorating. I think, and that’s me analyzing again, it’s attributable to my sudden fashion obsession mixed with my reading complex. With constant feeling of guilt, lots of faith issues and “becoming a good person” fixation.  And so maybe it’s okay to make all of those topics in this blog.
