Happy MLK Day!
January 18th, 2010

Happy Martin Luther King Day you guys! I actually feel bad… It’s supposed to be a day of service, but I’m not volunteering anywhere. Instead I’m going shopping for school =/. Eh, at least I know that I can volunteer any day; I don’t have to wait for a day to designate when it’s best to volunteer :). I actually want to start volunteering at a few places, preferably a homeless shelter for families (I want to really work w/ children) and a rape crisis center (since I want to go into that in my career). I am not sure if I have time for it since I am really busy with my final semester of college. I do, however, know I’ll have time during the Summer.

Totally random: Glee won a Golden Globe award last night. I did not see it myself, but a friend texted me. I was so happy they won because I LOVVEEEEE that show. I have absolutely no problem admitting that I am a Gleek (see #7). I love Glee! I breathe, sleep, and eat Glee… okay, maybe that is an overstatement, but I do love the show. From the diverse cast, fun show tunes, good amount of drama, and hot guys (come and get it Puck ;) ), you can’t go wrong with this show. Even if musicals aren’t even your cup of tea, you still probably will enjoy watching the show; it’s that good. What are some of your favorite shows? If you don’t watch TV, what are some of your favorite books?

You’re a bad bitch, huh?
January 9th, 2010

Updates: new skin – website templates – articles – list of hosts – photoline actions – poll of the week

Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of girls on Facebook talking about this Nicki Minaj character. Everyone wants their last name to be Minaj all of a sudden. Everyone wants to be “harajuku barbies”. I did not know much about this woman, aside from knowing she’s a female rapper and seeing a few pictures of her, so I decided to look at youtube videos of her and read some of her lyrics. I seriously can’t fathom why girls would want to emulate her? Ladies, we have lowered our standards so much that we would rather be bad bitches than beautiful queens??! It hurts my soul that people actually look up to Nicki Minaj (heck, even Lady Gaga, Rihanna, & Beyonce for that matter). She SHOULD NOT be your role model. Find someone worth emulating or better yet- BE YOURSELF!!

That’s a huge problem nowadays. People don’t want to be themselves. They want to be followers and do what’s “in”? But, why? What’s “in” now may be old news next season! Then you’re going to have an identity crisis, right?? It’s just upsetting that some person who you don’t even know has so much of an influence on you- your style, your speech, your thoughts, etc. That’s some serious mind control right there.

… In other news (lol), I am FINALLY back and I hope 2010 will be an active year here at Doux Riens! I’ve added a few new layouts and two articles- 7 Essential Sites for College Students & What NOT To Do When Approaching Girls. Be sure to take a look =). If there’s anything you ever want me to blog or write an article about, just let me know; I’m always looking for ideas.

This site is so dead…
November 21st, 2009

SERIOUSLY, it is and I have no one to blame but myself. I haven’t neglected the site- it’s far worse than that, but I am determined to be active again. I apologize for neither updating you all nor my site. The semester is coming to an end pretty soon, so hopefully I can get back into the swing of things :). Perhaps I’ll shoot for the new year? Maybe even sooner. When I have a definite date, I’ll edit this entry to let you all know. Until then… :heart: ya!
