Flawless?

What is the definition of beauty? Some say that beauty is something present in a person that gives intense pleasure. Other definitions describe beauty as what individual cultures find appealing. I have not yet seen the word perfect in any definition or flawlessness for that matter. The truth is that beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. Everyone has specific things that appease their likings. People today are striving for perfection thinking that it's the only way to feel attractive. Tanning beds, plastic surgery, make-up, and even eating disorders are the dangerous actions they're putting their bodies through to achieve a look that most people aren't even that fond of. When I think of beauty I think of ease and naturalness. In order to be considered beautiful you have to accept your flaws and accentuate what you do like. Happiness is so much more beautiful than sadness.

Blog Critiria

I think that our blogs should be marked as complete or incomplete. Blogs are a great way to practice and expand our writing experiences. That's why they should only be effort marks. As for Blog topics, I enjoy writing about anything controversal and debatable. For example, issues such as abortion, stem cell research, enviornmental problems, etc. Topics on celebraties, movies, books, and fashion also intrigue me. Other than that, I am quite versatile and I don't usually have a hard time expressing my opinions on various subjects.

Super Powers!

If you were to ask me what kind of super powers I would want the most, I would have to say I would find the most fulling sensation from the power of either; traveling at the speed of light or the power to teleport.
Imagine the possibilities, you're running late for an extremely important event, waffle wednesday for instance. With teleportation, you're all ready there. This will save you the annoyance of missing out on the fluffy goodness hidden within the golden crust of the Belgian wonder. These powers would also help me with my disability of procrastination. They wouldn't make me prioritize or anything, but when I'm presssed for time I would just kick it in high gear and get a whole days work done in 0.034 seconds. Another perk to these abilities is avoiding the hassle of traveling. You know what I'm talking about, passports, luggage, air-sickness, and all the other wonderful things that come with air travel. By utilizing these powers I would also be doing a huge favor for the enviornment. No gas emissions, no problem, right?
It is quite evident that for many reasons, the super powers that I have chosen are the most tempting and convienent powers across the board.
