My Name is Andey. And I am Biased.

So for those of you who haven't heard about my romantic fiasco yesterday, the readers digest version goes like this:

There was an uproar on Facebook and I was astonished by all of the support I gained on my frustration. People love to have a cause. That was my cause for the day, and nothing made me happier than people joining my cause! (For those of you who would like to join, I'm calling it the Revolt Against the Idiots of the 21st Century. Join me. I'm known to bake delicious free food for all of the members!)

So, I was telling a friend about all of this (because when I am pissed off about something, everyone is going to hear about the injustice of it all!) and he started telling me that everyone has a bit of a biased nature; sometimes without even meaning to. Of course, he is that person who is always right. No sarcasm here. He is always right. For privacy's sake, I'll refer to him as "Mr. Right" (minus the romantic connotation). 

So, I must acknowledge that this is true. Because Mr. Right is always... Well, right. However, I could not think of what I was biased against... So I set out on a mission. While I walked to my class, I was going to figure out what made me biased. At UT there are a lot of very good looking men of every race, religion, eye color, major, etc. I admired God's lovely work, searching for what made me the biased person I complained so heavily about.

Then it hit me.

I don't like round heads. Specifically heads that are spheres. I am biased against sphere heads. I know people with spherical heads are born with them, but I am sorry. There are no exceptions here. So... Let me say this: If you have a sphere head, I can't date you. But! Just know that I still respect you as a person. Even though you have a sphere head. You sphere head, you.

How to Be an Optimist

For those of you who know me (and I mean really know me) you know that I am a pretty optimistic person. However, when you're an optimist, you're not always happy. Being happy is a process, and I am here to share this process with you.

How to be an optimist in 3 easy steps:

1. Acknowledge the bleak, the stupid, the hard, and the irrational.

You can't have dark without light, and you can't have light without dark. When you acknowledge that your life (life in general) isn't perfect, you are one step closer to becoming an optimist!

2. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

You know how when say a word over and over and over again, it eventually loses its meaning and starts to become ridiculous? If you haven't, start with your own name. When you can ask yourself the question "Why on earth would anyone ever name their child that?" You've completed the task. It's the same thing here. When you think about life's lemons, you start to realize how silly your face looks if you eat them.

3. Laugh about it.

Don't take life so seriously! There is someone in this world who is far happier with less than what you have. The sooner that you realize this and start to laugh at the ridiculous situations you find yourself in, the sooner you will be happy.

That's all there is to it! When you become an optimist, you find that it's so much easier to deal with even the hardest situations. This being said, I beg you to take everything I say with a grain of salt. On this blog, I will make fun of people's behavior, actions, and give you a sneak peak of what it's like to be in my head and see through my eyes. And oh, what a marvelous view I have from in here.

And until my next post... Watch this, and enjoy it. It's freaking awesome.
