racist?

do you ever look at people that are different from you in a strange way?do you feel like sometimes you judge people too quickly? or just stereotype themby their skin color? or the way they dress? or the way they look in general?i don't. well, that's partially true. see, i believe there's two types of racist: the ones that go and insult people and stereotype them and judge them in a bad way, and then there's the ones that notice that someone is different, but that also see the beauty in the other person. like, i'm caucasian (and my nationality is romanian), but i admire different things in different people.asians, for example, have amazing style and they are so smart. african and african-american women carrythemselves with so much poise, it's actually inspiring. russian girls have amazing blonde hair. and south americans have such a tropical beauty.
i wrote this post because of friday. friday i went to splashtown, in san antonio, texas. i was feelingvery self conscious about my body, trying to cover up entirely in a towel. then i saw this one african-american lady. she wasn't skinny. not at all. she had a lot of curves, maybe a little bit too much. but the way she caried herself, like she owned the place, but without making it seem like she is full of herself, was just so inspiring to meand i'm sure she was inspiring to lots of other girls in the same position as me. this lady made me open my eyes wide andsee that the way you look isn't everything, but if you carry yourself with poise, people are going to love you. and guess what.guys were checking her out the entire time!

guilty as charged.





the other day i went into a walmart store, eager to see the new line by miley cyrus and max azria.actually, correction. i was eager to negatively comment on the line, thinking that it would be just another look-at-me-i-raided-hannah-montana's-closet clothing line. turns out, i was wrong. i can honestly say that i would wear ANYTHING and i mean ANYTHING out of that collection. i love the way they have balanced chic items and then they also have punk and rock elements. i'm probably gonna end up buying the entire thing (although i don't usuallybuy clothing items from walmart). because of this clothing line, i gained more respect for miley cyrus and i think she would make a fabulous designer. pictures below(stolen from the wal mart website)...shhh...don't tell :D

my kingdom for tomato juice...

i just flew to the u.s. the other day. nothing very interesting. i do have to say, though, the following:
1. i. HATE. the. frankfurt. airport
2. i.LOVE.the.washington.airport
anyway...as much as i hate airplanes i would go on another flight anytime, just because of the amazing tomato juice they have.

just look at it...doesn't it look ridiculously yummy? :x....especially when you add salt and pepper. :))
haha sorry for the random post. i'm having a very non-inspired day. lol. i solemnly swear to post something decent at one point this week ;)
