If You've Got It, Go Flaunt It

Yep, you read that right, if you've got it, go flaunt it. Celebrities. They all flaunt their stuff. Whether it be their pretty face, long legs, sexy look, actual talent or their network of other celebrity connections. They flaunt it. People accept it, even want it. That's how they make a living.

Then you have the every "normal" people you see walking around. They flaunt too. Some people are extremely funny, they know it, they flaunt it. Others realise that amongst "normal" people, they've got the body that the general mass wants, they flaunt it (sometimes too excessively). Still others, they figured that they possess a slightly higher IQ than normal so they flaunt that fact too.

Now why am I talking about flaunting? Because in the last two weeks, I've been told by several people to go flaunt it. Flaunt your nice curves (thank you friend ==") . "You look nicer with your hair down" - go flaunt it.

Really?? Why? Because it makes you feel more confident. Because it's something that you should be proud of. Because it's a positive drawing force for people towards you. Because it can get what you want.

Hmm... I'm still questioning that philosophy. I think being low-key is a pretty humble trait to have.

So true to form, I came to think of another way of interpreting the title and this is perhaps something I live by.

You know, besides the good that we have, we also have the bad. Nope, unfortunately perfection is something that we all strive for but will never achieve. Fact of life.

Perhaps people should learn to flaunt their bad sides too. I tend to do that rather often. In fact, I think it's a good thing to do. Flaunt all your badness at the beginning and it can only get better from there. I like that idea and I prefer to stick with it. For example, I flaunt very openly my absolute utter laziness. I also tend to flaunt my tomboy-ish character (according to said friend, this is bad). I like to flaunt my last-minute-ness, I am very proud of what aI have done despite my last-minute-ness (except right now this is driving me nuts). Come to think of it, maybe I should flaunt a bit more my not-so-talkative nature.

I think too much flaunting will become monotonous. That's why I don't usually flaunt the good stuff because that way I can keep it as good stuff in people's eyes for a longer period. And this works in the opposite way with the bad stuff, if you flaunt these bad traits enough, people will get used to it and it'll become normal.

I know, I'm weird but I still think it's a nice concept.

Poop, I'm sick >< The greatest time to get sick too, right before finals. But I've got this. I believe you can will anything into existence and I'm going to will this bug into non-existence. So please excuse me while I have an epic stare-off with this bug. I'm going to win, because I can't afford to lose.
