Australia Doesn't Exist

The continents of the world: Africa, America, Antarctica, Asia, Europe, South America, and Oceania...

If Oceania doesn't sound familiar to you are more than likely from the United States. And I just want to throw this out there, but the continent of "Australia" doesn't exist! Please save yourself from sounding like an idiot and kindly refrain from making such a horrendous mistake. The actual name off the continent is Oceania. And to those who disagree with me, I am pretty sure someone FROM the continent would know are from. When I first heard about the phantom continent of Australia I was deeply confused. When I figured out that the maps which are distributed in the United States are actually... mislabeled I was shocked and kinda disturbed. Now I'm trying to be as PC as possible, but this actually annoys me a lot, so please have a little understanding.

I get that Australia is the largest land mass in Oceania, but really? I feel like Americans should be given a little credit here... they kinda learn about 50 states AND have to spell Massachusetts... I mean seriously? that is not an easy word to spell! I'm more than sure that actually giving the correct name of a continent is not too difficult to grasp. Whatever the reason, if you try to tell me I am from Australia, I will be highly offended. I am not from Australia, have never been there, and probably will never go there in the future. If it does continue, I may just say that North America is named Canada...  

Ten Things You Should NEVER Wear

Some people are blessed with an amazing sense of style. Others are... seriously lacking in the style department. In order to help all you out there avoid some of the biggest fashion faux pas, I have compiled a list of the top 10 things you should never wear! And if I catch any of you wearing anything on this list, I will cross the street just to avoid being in your presence...

1) Stripes and spots together

I was taught this as a child: never under any circumstances wear stripes and spots together. It's one of the first fashion "rules" most people learn. I shouldn't have to explain why, but will anyway. It's awkward, looks hideous, and almost everyone in their right mind knows not to do this! Way too many things going on at one time!

2) Bigfoot Boots (or fuzzy boots)

These are absolutely hideous! I'm sorry, but it looks like you cut off a large furry animal's feet and are wearing them. Nothing about them is right! I understand that people are concerned about keeping their feet warm, but there are better ways... wearing 2 pairs of socks, other boots that don't look so grotesque... Seriously, they are ugly! If you think otherwise, may the Lord have mercy on your poor tasteless soul! 

3) The Visible Thong

Again another, slap in your face obvious faux pas, but you have no idea how many people I see doing this. It is my firm belief that unless you are a whore or prostitute, attempting to sell your services don't do it. If you happen to be one, please refrain from doing so in view of the innocent public. This just screams out "tacky whore."

4) Socks and Sandals

Feet are just creepy in general, so this no-no makes me shudder. Do not under any circumstances leave your house in socks and sandals! Seriously, put some shoes on if you're going to wear socks!


This rule has only one exception. If you are in Japan, it is okay. Outside of Japan, don't leave the house! 

5) Stained Clothing 

Wearing clothing with visible stains just screams "trailer trash." I mean... if that's the look you're going for, be my guest, but you're going to look like a dirty slob! If there is a stain, wash your clothes! If it won't come out, throw it away!

6) Jeans that are too tight 

As the go-to item in many wardrobes, jeans are often abused by people who want to believe they are still the same size as they were in high school. When wearing jeans that are too tight a person gets what is called a "muffin-top." As shown in the picture, your love handles hang over your hips and look like a muffin. This is in no way attractive! If you find your jeans starting to feel a little snug, it is better to go out and buy a new pair. You will look and feel better without the constriction.

7) Jeans that are too Baggy 

Jeans can not only be too tight, but also too baggy. It has become a "trend" for young boys and men to wear their pants practically around their ankles. This is just wrong! No, I do not want to see your ass, and I am not interested in looking at your underwear! Another fun fact: sagging was originally used in prisons for inmate to show each other that they were "available" to have adult relations with another inmate. Is that the image you are wanting to portray? You are "available" for adult relations...

8) Skin Colored Leggings 

A friend of mine actually posted this picture on Facebook the other day... the person (not quite sure if it's a man or woman) looks like they aren't wearing pants, when in reality they are. If you have a shirt, skirt, or dress that covers your bum it's okay, but really? You would have to be taking some sort of illicit substance to even consider this look!

9) A Snuggie outside of home 

Now don't get me wrong, I am all for being comfortable / cozy, but unless you are at home, please do not wear a snuggie. It makes you look like a slob who is in some kind of cult... what am I supposed to think? I'll probably think you sacrifice puppies and kittens... so wrong on so many levels! If you own a snuggie, please only wear it in the comfort of your own home!

10) An Animal Tail 

And I saved the worst for last! I mean really... what the hell???? A tail? Can someone please tell me what on earth would provoke an individual to wear a tail? I've actually seen people wearing them, and my immediate thought was "are they on crack?" People are not supposed to have tails! If I see anyone wearing a tail, I may just have to walk up behind them and cut it off... just saying!

"Oh that I had wings like a dove, for then I would fly away and be at rest. Then I would wander far off, and remain in the wilderness."

Epic Fail!

Back in the day I had a dream... that dream was to go to Juilliard and study classical piano. Sadly, because I fail at life that dream never became a reality, and now my piano skills are lacking to say the least. Basically, compared to when I used to play, I FAIL! It's pretty sad and pathetic.  

Even though I fail, I want to attempt to get as good as I used to be. I decided this when I watched this epic video of a guy named Andy Johnson playing "Chopsticks" on YouTube...

All of the songs in the video are ones I have either learned or wanted to learn. When I am able to, I really do need to get a keyboard and start playing again. The possibility of my getting to the level of epicness that is Andy Johnson is... well, slim to none. A girl can try though...

I am a Weird Foreigner!

Apparently I am a weird foreigner... why? Because I think that people should not drive 100 miles an hour in the rain. Call me crazy, but I believe in this strange phenomena called hydroplaning. It's this weird thing that happens when water builds up between tires and the road surface. What's the big deal? Well, there is this other crazy thing called traction, and this makes it so you can tell your car what to do. Your car basically becomes a sled! Yay for out of control 100 mile and hour crazyness! *insert sarcastic laugh*


But hey, don't listen to me, totally fine. I'll just laugh at you when you get into a horrible accident, rendering your body useless... okay, I will visit you in hospital and feel bad for you, but in my defense... I tried to warn you! 

And with that, I will leave you with a song: "Rain is a Good Thing" (it totally is... just saying).
