People Are Overrated

I need to clarify one thing. There is a tremendous difference, and I mean overwhelmingly massive when I say tremendous, between misanthropes and introverts.

introvert:  adj. in-truh-vurt : a shy person.
misanthrope: n., mis-uhn-throhp : a hater of humankind.

Introverts are anti-social and like to be by themselves instead of around others. 
Misanthropes are people who dislike humankind, and distrust human nature.

Being a misanthrope doesn't make me introverted. People need to stop confusing the two and not use them interchangeably. I don't like people, and I think we are overrated. My personal beliefs and philosophies support my perspective, but I know this may change for every individual. However, when one thinks about it, it is evident that we humans have an exalted view of ourselves that we don't necessarily deserve. I talk to people, I form relations, I speak out; I am an extrovert who doesn't get her energy from people, but generates it herself. Self-sufficient I'll say, and I think that's how a person should be. Independent, confident. unafraid.

What is "identity"? How do you describe yourself? Are three adjectives enough? I think about this all the time. I still don't have an answer.

Welcome Movember

Have you heard of No Shave November? or perhaps Movember? If you haven't, well then, now you have. It is considered a little graceless when a girl promotes moustaches for the sake of raising awareness for male cancer initiatives, but dear reader, you know that I am no ordinary girl, so you might as well shift your attention to the real subject.

Movember is a month-long charity event that raises money and awareness for the above cause (male cancers but especially prostate cancer). If you want to know about how this whole movement started, you might as well watch this video here, It has a rather unorthodox way of  a beginning. So, this month, boys grow moustaches - not beards or goatees - moustaches, and earn coolness points. Also they will be appointed to the title "Mo Bro" of the moustache brotherhood.

What about the "Mo Sistas"? Girls, please don't grow moustaches, but don't feel left out either. You can help fundraisers, donate, wear moustche printed clothing, or simply cut this below print out, and tape it onto a baton. That way, you can be like an Italian in the Carnival of Venice. Except, you would hold up a moustache, instead of a mask.

By the way, I know this is kind of frivilous of me to write such a blog entry, but you need to adapt to it, if you are visiting :{
