Uncle Leo, why are you so angry!

Remember that Seinfeld episode where Uncle Leo has his eyebrows burnt off accidentally and ends having some eyebrows (badly) drawn on. He ended up looking angry at everyone, which made the episode a classic. While that episode was funny, the reality is...eyebrows do bother me. No no, not in the sense that they should be removed. My pet peeve is seeing so many butchered eyebrows! Honestly, there's a limit to how much you can pluck them! I'm getting the hunch that these people are going for an eyebrow look that falls in between a transvestite and porno star.
So let's start with what I call the McDonald Arch eyebrows. These eyebrows have an unnatural semi-circular shape that makes you look like you're constantly surprised. The picture above is the best I could google at the moment, but I've seen worse..
Next, there's the "I glued on a piece of string" for eyebrows. These ones are literally as thin as a piece of string. I'm not really sure what to make of it because it doesn't look natural at all. I think Pamela Anderson is a good example of that.
The last one on my mind is what I call the "mini chopsticks" - these ones are excessively trimmed, to the point that it just looks like a straight line hovering above your eyes.
Whether you believe it or not, there's a science about how eyebrows are shaped. For example, forensic experts can figure out the width of your lips (when you're not smiling) based on where your eye pupils (the dark spot) are. Similarly, the eyebrow has a science as well. The eyebrow starting positions is roughly where your eye starts (towards your nose that is!). It then slopes up almost in a straight line until it gets to its peak. The arch (peak of the eyebrow) is found by drawing a line from the side of your nose, across the eye pupil and then towards the upslope of your eyebrows. Afterwards, the eyebrow slopes down so that if you draw a line from the side of your nose again, past the outside of your eye, it'll meet up where it should end. Here's an example of what I'm talking about, I drew some lines to make it clearer. Well that's the end of my rant about bad eyebrow jobs.

Where's her face!?

Some people think bigger is better. I just never thought that it would apply to sunglasses to the extent I saw today. As I sat peacefully on the bus this morning, a young lady boarded, and if it wasn't for my common sense, I could have confused her for a gigantic fly. Her sunglasses covered I would say 2/3 or more of her face! I understand that the current fashion is the big sunglasses look (which is recycled, since my grandma has the same glasses), but it seems that this fashion is getting out of hands! The glasses I saw today covered half of her forehead and went down to nearly her mouth. Which brings me to the next point - fashion trends are usually followed to look attractive, but when you can only see someone's chin and some of their forehead, then what are you showing off? Well, we'll see what the next fashion trend will be...sunglasses at night anyone?

Human Nature - Broken

So yesterday I had the privilege of learning that a friend of mine blocked me on msn. I really don't know whether to consider them as a friend any more, simply because our friendship was fragile by this point of time already. It's kind of like those "Jenga" towers, and my friend's final move toppled everything over. Am I bothered because I was blocked? Not fully, I just find it immature. What does bother me though is that one week ago, that person said that they would never do something like that. I trusted those words. Now I have no trust.

Why would I trust someone if the friendship was so fragile? It is because it didn't used to be fragile. That person used to be my closest friend. However, a long time ago, I made a mistake towards this person - I bottled up some issues I had involving this person because I didn't want to risk losing what we had. That bottling up ended up hurting both of us, and despite my best intentions, I ended up losing the person anyways. It was inevitable. I could only delay it for so long. However, all was not lost. There was one last strand of friendship between us. We kept distance, but I thought we still trusted and respected each other. I thought wrong. Now, I move on. The last strand was cut.

Does all of this bother me? A bit; but I can't let things linger within me. Life is too short. But deep down inside, like any human being, I'm looking for reason and understanding of this situation. More importantly, was this situation incidental, or is it reflective of those around me, those that I will meet and human nature as a whole?
