You’re a bad bitch, huh?
Saturday, 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.

Putting yourself first isn’t so bad.
Friday, June 12th, 2009

Updates: website templates – unrequested website reviews

You know, sometimes we forget about our own happiness. We grow accustomed to putting everyone before us and ensuring everyone else’s happiness. But at what cost? Being selfless is an admiring quality and not everyone has it, but I am a firm believer in putting yourself first. I don’t mean it as in be selfish and say “forget everyone else”, but I believe sometimes you have to put your needs and wants first. Some people try too hard to please everyone. You cannot please everyone in life, you just cannot. When you lose yourself in the process of helping others, that’s a problem.

^ I wrote that almost half a year ago (I have a habit of jotting down blog ideas & never finishing them :tongue: ). I would’ve liked to continue it, but I don’t have any inspiration whatsoever to complete it…

So, I added the layouts back. There’s only a few though (and only a couple of new ones). I am still in the process of adjusting the coding with the other ones. I also added the tutorial section and hopefully soon enough, I’ll create some video tutorials. The PNG section is still on its way, but it hasn’t been updated in ages. I might just get rid of it all together, who knows. I know there’s a few kinks I need to work out with wordpress (the poll page, the “thread” plugin), but do not fear- I’m working on it :wink: . Hope all is well with you all!

I guess I am a weak person?
Thursday, March 12th, 2009

Updates: hostees – poll of the week

I was browsing quotes a few moments ago and came across this quote by Ghandi: “The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.” What do you personally think about this quote? Do you agree or disagree; why or why not?

You see… I am somewhat of an unforgiving person. I never forget anything and I tend to hold grudges. I believe in giving people second chances, but third, fourth, and fifth chances are out of the question. I do not put my trust in everyone, so if I trust you and you break this trust, it will be hard for me to get over it because it is something I really value. Once I have been seriously hurt, I am hurt and no amount of apologizing can make me forgive you.

To forgive is to cease to feel resentment against a person, according to Dictionary.com. I really do feel it is alright to hold resentment towards people, I actually think it is healthy lol. I don’t think you should go around and forgive everyone, that’s too passive and some people do not deserve forgiveness. I think the problem arises when this resentment is constantly on your mind and controls you. Does that make sense? Sometimes I don’t make sense… Anywho, I don’t think being somewhat unforgiving is really a negative characteristic (I am not saying NEVER forgive a person btw). What if you had a child and your child was molested or even raped by someone you knew? Could you forgive that person? I don’t think I personally could… it’s like, why should I give him my forgiveness??

ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ATTENTION! I will be getting a new domain either this month or next month. Some of the things you see here WILL NOT be on my new website (in terms of resources), so save what you want to now! This is just a heads up :). Also, I am leaving this Saturday to spend my spring break volunteering. I will not do anything web related during this time. Take care everyone.
