I was looking over the plastic surgery thread in Fashion and suddenly then I felt a surge of annoyance run right up the middle of my spine. Not due to the people who posted but the concept of being one of the beautiful. It just stemmed my thought on a part of society or culture I did not like.

I do not care about plastic surgery in all honesty. I mean some people need it, those in wrecks and with deformities. I consider its use for that a blessing. As far as beauty, we all deserve to feel beautiful. But I am neither for nor against its use cosmetically. I would not ask anyone to have it done (if I was married or in a relationship). I have seen nasty consequences, though it is rare but possible. Some are willing to risk it though, I am all for it. I just feel people should be happy with themselves, but even as I say that. I dislike a few things about myself as well. So i am in a way a hypocrite and not everyone thinks of the same wave-length. For some it is easy to say "I like myself but I wish I could do something about -insert problem here-. Oh well I will either do it myself or live with it. People can like me for who I am." Then of course there are others who are not that way, which is TOTALLY understandable.

Society is twisted but with the bad comes the good. And sure I will not completely say "I hate society and conformity", how can I when I am part of it? One of their personal problems with society is my fault and their own doings affect me so they are at fault as well. Styles change in clothing, music, architecture and many other "fads". Beauty does as well, or evolves in its own special way. That is where plastic surgery comes in, why change yourself for a society that does not like you for WHO you are. You get your face done, lips injected, boobies perked up, and buns of steel- the full Monty. It just seems to me you will attract more assholes that you never liked in the first place. Same with men, over 10,000 men had their nipples tightened or whatever it was they did to make them erect. I read that in a magazine. Of course, I am not against it more or less confused sometimes.

Now... I will say when such work is done to people in general. Yes it does sometimes make them more attractive. Movie stars need it to keep up their sexy physiques. At least today, but look at John Wayne. He would have never had it done. Ok I am going off on a tangent -regains composure-. Keep to the meaning Cannibal. Alrighty round two.

I am a realist or I would like to think I am but. One reason I hate the whole idea is because, people who already look beautiful get even prettier. Yes they do have that right but think of the overweight girl, who is scared to LIVE. One reason is due to the society of the beautiful. Now not all are that pompous and have a heart when it comes to others. But, I mean they want to be like the super models, the sexy bodies they see in swimsuits and one of the beautiful people. I mean they will consider getting things done to them and get that worried or obsessed nobody will find them attractive.

It use to be the larger and more plump the women were, the more exotic and beautiful they were. Today you have to look like Alley McBeal, without an ass, without any muscle definition and fingers of a Egyptian mummy. And some continue to rely on looks rather than simply expressing themselves and liking who they are. I mean they should take pleasure in eating an actual meal, rather than eat and starve when they could eat unlike children in third world countries. They should be able to just not have to worry about something that does not mean much down the road. Sure beauty counts, but it is not something that one SHOULD rely on. That’s trivial as what will honestly happen down the road? When your beauty fades and the collagen injections grow more numerous until it looks like you have been stung by Japanese hornets.

I am not trying to sound like a advocate of good feelings. Nor am i trying to win hearts or popularity. This is an issue I have a problem with. The one I do not like about society. I will not lie either, I think these plastic models are sexy. But you can be built like Athena and still be a twat. I just think to much is placed on beauty. But again and I can't stress this enough, though it is redundant. It was merely a thread on plastic surgery, but I just thought of something else. Now back to society..

Society, daily you hear people whine about how they hate it. Why should you hate it? The way I see it society is all of us and we contribute to it. I DO NOT like certain aspects of it, but my bitching will do little. Hopefully this will just express how I feel, everyone needs a good rant and rave. My own happens to be on this certain subject at the time. I hope it is coming through clear. The thoughts hit me like a freight train, striking me like a thunder bolt from Olympus and confusion comes quicker to me than the locusts did in Egypt.

But I mean while I was in college and throughout my years in high school. I would remember watching people and I did observe. I studied them and you knew how many felt, when they wore the baggy clothes or when the girls wore their hair down to cover that ghastly pimple. Why is this, simply because they were embarrassed or did not feel pretty, when the popular ones would walk passed them. It really wreaks hell on people’s self-esteem, but a lot of us say thing and even I am guilty. We regret them and sometimes do not. But I just think on how people view themselves when they are beautiful, in their own way.

In the end looks mean shit and they might even change. But personality remains solid and that is one foundation that can't be washed away.

God I rambled. –takes breath- Now where did that doobie go.
