When Life Hands you Lemons

[polldaddy poll=6709958]

That’s right. Today’s topic is bacon.
If you don’t know by now what bacon is, you must have been living on a remote swineless island for your entire life. Its prominence challenges even that of coffee. Seriously. However, if you don’t already know about it, allow me to educate you:

Bacon is amazing. It’s delicious, it’s versatile, and … amazing. Words cannot express my love for bacon.

It’s interesting to note that the popularity of bacon has risen over the past few years, with the biggest player of that being the internet and internet culture. Why is it interesting, you ask? Bacon has not changed at all since its inception. We now have what is called “bacon mania.”

[transition] It’s possible that this is largely due to bandwagoning. We on the internet are so prone to ideas suggested by others. We’ve trained ourselves not to listen to advertisements, but when someone who’s just like you suggests that you should be eating more bacon, doesn’t that suddenly make you want some? It definitely made me want some.

When I was thinking about this post, I was going to reprimand people who fall into bandwagoning. But now that I realize that I’m one of those people… maybe we can use bandwagoning to accomplish higher goals. Of course, a group of people can’t bandwagon without another group of people trying to disprove every word of what you’re saying. I think you can tell where I’m going with this.

Also, there’s the issue of people calling your argument as “bandwagon appeal.”

None of this really ties together. What is this post about. Where am I. What’s going on. Who am I.

If you thought I was going to let this election go by without writing about it on my blog, you were only lying to yourself.

I think election season is an excellent time to gather social commentary.

There are plenty of people who like to complain about the direction that things are going on and have the ability to change things but decide not to.

There are also plenty of people who only look at the titles of initiatives and referendums (I. E. I-502) before the vote on them; they end up making the wrong choice out of simple ignorance.

Then there are those who think that these things don’t affect them at all.

It’s really irritating for these people to come across my Facebook feed.

Still, people say we made history today.

I don’t really think we did. We all knew that the referendum was going to be passed.

Other things need attention and they’re just being dwarfed by others.

It’s a little irritating, but what can I do about it? I can complain all I want but I’ve already done my part; I can only hope that people see things from my perspective.

I can only hope that people want to be able to see things from my perspective.

“It’s not something you give a **** about one month out of every four years.”

The unopposed candidate in this year’s election requires that peolpe undermining contradictions posed by the unadulterated persons motivating messages be massively boondocked into silver slivers salivating some silly seemingly surplus satisfying saturday sadists. While western wear whelps winter windows, integrated integrity interferes with internal interferences in inputted, imported imbeciles. John joined Johto, jeering jocks jacking juvenile jackrabbits’ jackhammers’ jackets. Omniscient omnipotence obfuscates odd otters; opposing operations opportunates orange openings. Horel minors including power overwhelming this positioning creating pillows of nutella werewolves.

Hats have too much of an impact on our view of a person nowadays–even more so than other articles of clothing. It’s easy to judge a person by the hat he wears, isn’t it? If someone wears a loose baseball cap, it’s pretty easy to get an idea of what kind of person he is. If someone wears a cowboy hat (and it’s not Halloween), it’s a pretty big giveaway as to where that person is from.

But I like hats. I’m disappointed that I was born in the era directly after the one where hats were in style. I want to wear a fedora while I’m walking around, having it mismatch completely, without looking weird.

If you pay attention though, you’ll see that there is still interest in hats. If someone wears a hat to school (other than a beanie or a baseball cap), he’ll take it off and be surrounded by people taking interest in it. They’ll want to put it on themselves and play with it. So why have hats fallen so out of fashion?

Maybe there was a surge of hair styles in the 70s and 80s. Maybe it’s the fact that hats now are so expensive. I don’t know at all.

I just know that I love hats.
