It's a Christmas Miracle!!1!!!!1!one!!1

I've met a woman.

"I met a woman. The kind of a woman that makes you want to go back in time to before you met her. Whatever the hell life was like then, it's not as bad as the hell now. Knowing she's out there and you can't have her."

Just maybe though.

Next time a girl says she's waiting for her Prince Charming, you should fill her in on the fact that in the first, original context that it was used, it didn't actually say "Prince Charming." It was miss-translated. The original text says that the Prince was charmed.

So what I'm saying is that if you're waiting on your very own Prince Charming, maybe you should spend some more time trying to charm some more Princes.

"Charles Perrault's version of Sleeping Beauty, published in 1697, includes the following text at the point where the princess wakes up: "'Est-ce vous, mon prince?' lui dit-elle, 'vous vous êtes bien fait attendre'. Le Prince charmé de ces paroles... ne savait comment lui témoigner sa joie". ("'Are you my prince?' she said. 'You've kept me waiting a long time'. The prince, charmed by her words... did not know how to express his joy.")
It has sometimes been suggested that this passage later inspired the term, "Prince Charming", even though it is the prince who is charmed (charmé) here, not who is being charming (charmant).
In the eighteenth century, Madame d'Aulnoy wrote two fairy tales, The Story of Pretty Goldilocks, where the hero was named Avenant ("Fine", "Beautiful", in French), and The Blue Bird, where the hero was Le roi Charmant ("The Charming King"). When Andrew Lang retold the first (in 1889) for The Blue Fairy Book, he rendered the hero's name as "Charming"; the second, for The Green Fairy Book, as "King Charming".
Although neither one was a prince and the first was not royal, this may have been the original use of "Charming".
- Wikipedia.

It could be worse though. You could have the Dorian Gray kind of Prince, who ditches you (and then you inevitably commit suicide).

"Then, Oscar Wilde's 1890 novel The Picture of Dorian Gray refers ironically to "Prince Charming", perhaps the earliest use of the exact term. The main character, Dorian, is supposed to be a young actress's "Prince Charming", but he abandons her and in despair she commits suicide."

Honestly though, maybe if there were more girls that acted, or even looked, like Disney Princesses, maybe there'd be more Prince Charming's (the Disney version) crashing through windows and stabbing people for you.

Just maybe though.

I got called smart today.

A friend of mine came up to me and asked me what her belt-loop was called. I told her "a belt-loop." She apparently thought it was called a belt pocket or something. I'm not really sure.

"Man, you're so smart Greg."

I'm smart because I knew what a belt-loop was called. Cool. Although, I'm not really sure if that's a compliment to me, or an insult to the rest of the world.

People, it's called a belt-loop. Inform the masses. Increase the populous intelligence levels. I refuse to be smart.

Seven Shots

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

I can hear it out my window, the clamor of the night. Shadows swiftly take delight in other peoples plight. Everything the light wont see comes out to play at night.

One.

I can hear it out my window, the horrid scream of silence. Seven shots ring out the might of hate, malice, and violence.

Two.

Above the moon rains down the gloom, the boom, the clattering scurry. "Hurry hurry we have to go!" A man with a gold chain hushes. Another man lays on the ground, his vision getting blurry.

Three

First responder, always ponder, "who is this man?" and "why?" "Will he live? Will he die? There's little time to squander."

Four.

He's just a man, late at night, all emotion latent. Not just a man, the man's a doctor, he's lost another patient.

Five.

Lonely mother, lost another, wont make it through the night. Nervous, crying, praying silent, no one to hold her tight.

Six.

Heart sank deep, the crooked creep, the one who did the deed. "How could I take another's life, just to feed my need?"

Seven.

I hear it out my window, seven shots ring in my head. Seven billion people here, just now there's one more dead.

Consumerism costs your heart and soul.

"Research shows that intrinsic values not only promote personal, social, and ecological well-being, but can also act to immunize people against materialism. It's that see-saw again. As intrinsic values go up, materialistic values tend to go down. So part of the trick is to build a life that expresses your intrinsic values. That might involve spending more time with people you care about, finding meaningful work, even if it pays less, or taking part in volunteer opportunities for causes you care about."

You heard the man. Love what you do and you'll have a better life. Remember that, everyone, ever, as you go from high-school, to college, to the real world.

If you watch the video and really pay attention, you'll see characteristics described that you see in people you know, and you can learn a lot about them when you connect the dots.

These videos? They're essentially random.

I got a webcam recently, so I started making these stereotypical-type vlog things because I honestly have nothing better to do with my time. These are the first three. So there you have it.

Watch them on YouTube. Give me some comments. Tell me I'm stupid. I don't really care. As a matter of fact, go to YouTube and leave a comment that just says "you're stupid" and leave your name so I know who left it. It'd make my day.
