Tis' the Season of Bloating and Food Comas

Ah yes, Thanksgiving is t-minus one week from today. Yes, it is already Thanksgiving time. It is time for over eating, over drinking, and lots of questions from your family that you must answer about 50 times throughout the entirety of the day. 

I think my favorite time of November though is the two weeks between November 1st and Thanksgiving. Now, it sounds insane because nothing interesting happens then besides the bi-polar weather (& Veteran's Day). The reason why I enjoy those two weeks is because I enjoy seeing the incredibly anxious Christmas celebrators who decorate on November 1st and start their Christmas caroling immediately following taking down their Halloween decorations. Fal la la la la it is Christmas time 

In contrast, there is so "Bahh humbug" people who just can't quite get into spirit. In other words, these are are the bitter people who rant on social media about how it is not "Christmastime" and there is still Thanksgiving, blah blah. The clashing between both sides is purely entertaining. 

Remember though, no matter what ANYONE says, there is time at any time of the year to watch "Elf." 

Everyone on Thanksgiving^

See a bit of both holidays? Compromise.

 

Anyways, Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas ***pause for angry rants about how it is not Christmas yet. 

 I'll leave you with some nice Christmas spirit from Miley.

Looks like Santa is drinking a lot of Eggnog there.

 

Inspiration

Here is some inspiration to keep everyone's hopes up on this beautifully cold and rainy day..

Remember whenever you are down and you just have no motivation to be productive, you have to: 

Just do it,
& don't let your dreams be dreams. 

Halloweekend to an End

All the pumpkin picking pictures, the spooks, and the awkward month filled with chilly mornings and blazing hot afternoons are coming to a close as November begins.

Now, I am not in any way "hating" on these concepts because I know I am guilty of it myself. The pumpkin spice lattes are my guilty pleasure, and you can't go pumpkin picking without taking basic pictures. So, I get it. You can't go wrong with going to at least a million haunted attractions throughout the month of October. 

Yes, I dressed up for Halloween as well. I didn't do anything too crazy. If any 90's babies recall Doug, I was the main character's love interest, Patti Mayonnaise. If you still are deprived of a childhood and still don't know who I am talking about here's a visual image: 

 There you go.

Halloween is filled with multiple types of people, and to be honest, you see more of some people than is probably necessary. 

In my opinion, there are three types of people on Halloween. 

Firstly there's people who, as I mentioned before, probably reveal a bit. Or a lot. 

Because I'm a mouse, duh.

Secondly, there's the people who in Lindsay Lohan's case, didn't get the memo on the "slut" rule.

Then there's the third type of person on Halloween (which is my personal favorite). That would be the people who just dress for humor. Unfortunately, I don't have a Mean Girls reference for this one, but here's some Miley again. 

haha sike. 

In all seriousness though, Halloween is easily one of my favorite holidays; you can be anyone for a night (or 3). It's also a day where you can't be judged for what you wear or who you are. It's just all silly and fun, and you can't go wrong with that.

Now time for Thanksgiving. 

Or Christmas...either way.

 

Deep Thoughts

I'm thinking...

I'm thinking...I'm thinking too much. 

Now I'm thinking...I should go to sleep now.

You know how I feel every morning?

It would be a combination of this:

Or this:

(You can't go wrong with throwing Lord of the Rings into anything)

Thou does make a point.

Any way...back to my main point. I discovered the aggravating truth last night when I had a terrible headache equivalent to being hit by a truck (I know I'm basic with my metaphors, sue me). Regardless, I am sitting at dinner asking myself why have I had this consistent headache all day that no amounts of Advil and Aleve would reALEVE me from (haha get it?)? 

Then I finally realized: 

I never had my daily dose of caffeine that day. I am so accustomed to downing an unhealthy amount of coffee mixed with my pre-workout every day that without it I felt with drawl, yes with drawl, symptoms from not ingesting caffeine. 

Goes to show, caffeine with drawl symptoms are a real thing. A throbbing head ache all day: not fun. That's not even going into detail on how tired I was.

To all you caffeine addicts out: I get it. 

I'll always remember my daily dose of caffeine addiction so I can feel like this everyday:

Smile on folks.

"I've become so numb, I can't feel you there

Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you"

-Linkin Park

I listened to this song today titled Numb, sung by Linkin Park. Based off of Linkin Park's song history, they aren't exactly well known to be entirely pleasant in their lyrics. To be honest, I use this song when I am running at the gym. It keeps me motivated. In my opinion this song really speaks out to me. I don't doubt Linkin Park one bit that this song has a dark message.

My opinion, however is different than their intentions. When I run to this, I just think of how much I want to be who I am. That "I'm tired of being what you want me to be." I am running to be healthy, to feel good for myself, and no one else. 

My main advice here from this is to never forget who you are. Be who you want to be, not what other people want you to be. 


Love,
Kenna 

RANT #2: NEW FASHION

Okay, so apparently red lipstick is a thing right now? Now, I won't act like I haven't done it. I mean I was a dancer (well, attempted) for 16 something years and I had to beautify my lips with firetruck red lipstick to stand out in the crowd. But, to be honest I think my awkward tripping and poor performance of dance was enough of a strategy to stand out.

I'll admit it though, even with this whole rant, I did drive to CVS and purchase red and bright pink lipstick..***sigh***. You could call this hypocritical, but to be honest I wanted to find out what the obsession and hype of this fashion style is.  I hate saying it, but it's actually kind of fancy as hell wearing red lipstick. I have discovered though that I could not just wear it around for fun, but when going out somewhere, it's nice. 

Except when drinking out of glasses, that shit gets everywhere. 

 As I am typing this, a Miley Cyrus song came on, ironically considering I just ranted about her in my last post, so I will leave you with this... 


Have a wonderful day!
<3 Mack

Hey look kids, it's some red lipstick!
