The Defranco Wedding!

Phillip Defranco is one of my favorite Youtubers. He starts off his videos with "Here is some newsy time stuff that I a have brought to you today." Defranco runs a company so to speak, that specializes in current events, and anything nerd like. He has several Youtube channels for different topics, and they are all ran by his company. Recently Defranco got married to his long time girlfriend. They had had a son, and got married this year. This is like the royal wedding for me. I have been watching Phillip Defranco for over three years now, and I am just excited to see that everything is working out for him. He's had an interesting life, and it is great seeing one of my favorite Youtubers doing welling with their life.

Illness

After going to the doctors yesterday I realized that Strep Throat is going around. That made me realize how contagious it is. This is my second time having the cursed illness. The first time was when I was very little, and I do not remember it. I feel like I hardly suffer from viruses, and bacterial diseases. My area typically is depression mixed with anxiety. When something like Strep comes along, I am forced to stay in bed, and that is the very thing I do not want to do for many reasons involving my depression.

There is some sort of mini Strep epidemic. I was talking to a few friends of mine, and some of their friends had it not to long ago. While this week people from my DnD group including myself went in, and all got diagnosed with the dreaded white spotted disease. With half the group so far having Strep, I am waiting to see if anyone else gets it. My hope is that no one else gets it, and we can all move on with our lives.

Dear Future Husband.... Sexist???

Recently Meghan Trainor came out with a video for her song "Dear Future Husband" I have been listening to the song for few months. You can guess that I was excited to see that there was there was a music video for this song. Once the music video came out, of course there were people out there calling it sexist. Trainor says in the song "You have a 9-5, well baby so do I. Don't expect me sitting home making apple pie." A lot of sexist comments are about women in the kitchen... Well she put it out there that she was not going to do that. What I get from the song is that Meghan wants to be an equal in a relationship. That a partnership such as marriage is a team.

Vape Pens- Are they the same as smoking.

First of all I mock the stupidity of people who think that vaping and smoking are the same. They are not the same. Let's go back to science shall we. Let us think about vapor.... Where does it come from... Oh wait it comes from water. Because it comes from water it lingers for less amount of time. That means the smell of vapor goes away as fast as well, while cigarette smoke lingers for a really long time. I mock people who are against it because they are not smart enough to go onto Google for about 30 seconds to look up some information, demonizing everyone that uses vape pens. There are also a good amount of people who do not use the pens with Nicotine. They do it because it is the cool thing right now, and the flavors taste pretty great. Not to mention these pens help people quit smoking. Yes, it is annoying if there is someone that is over doing the pen. One thing that I hate the most is as someone who vapes, I hate hearing people comparing it smoking. People really need to get over the fact that they are allowed inside most places. You telling me that it is the same as smoke, I am going to tell you the same thing that I said at the beginning of the blog, lets look up what vapor, so you don't look like a moron. I am going to continue to think of you as one until you realize how stupid you are being.

Reading Journal, Lola and the Boy Next Door

Lola and the Boy Next Door is a book that I read in high school, and I recently started rereading again. This book shows how the thrills of young teenage girl love can be so naive. Lola see love with her adult boyfriend to be filled with romance, and perfect bliss. The truth is that Max is a front man of a band, who really does not have any potential. He is selfish and self absorbed. Max is obsessed with the Lolita culture, where Lola is just a seventeen year old girl who loves to dress up. There is another love interest in the mix. Kermit Bell is his name. He is the neighbor boy who lives next door. Lola liked him when they were younger, but then something happened. When Lola is not at home with his dog, and her dads or at school, she is working at a movie theater, where her friend who works there has her boyfriend that hangs out from time to time. They tell Lola how bad Max is, and how good Kermit is. Lola thinks she is madly in love with Max, but at this point she does not really know how bad he actually is. Her dads dislike him, and Max even shows discomfort when Lola is not dressing up in wigs and heavy make up. Max likes the thrill of dating a younger girl without having her look like a younger girl.
