I'm not ashamed to be me.

Apologies to all of you offended by nudity, but this is about body confidence and not being afraid to be you. http://www.mybodyisbeautiful.com/. I'm fed up of culture and society that makes us ashamed to be who we are. It really is time someone said enough is enough because there are some genuinely good people out there who think they are worthless because of what society does. If you are reading this and feel like you are that person. Let me tell you. You are not worthless, you are not ugly, you're a good person and you're not in any way at fault. Society glamorises unhealthy behaviour, and unnatural standards of beauty as well as vulgarising the human body. Enough is enough!

Paper bag culture.

A friend of mine today said the following:

"If only we all had paper bags on our heads, then there would be justice and equality"

This made me think about society and the way we percieve ourselves and others. Do we really go around with a 'Paper bag' mentality? The answer, quite honestly put, is yes. We hide our true selves and cover it over with what society chooses to give us. So my friend's statement should be reversed. What if we actively choose to remove the bag and look at the world and truly see the vulgarity that society and celebrity culture present to us? We'd have a much happier friendly world in my opinion.

Christmas joys

Hey, it's been a while since I've had anything to write about but here I am back again. I went to Switzerland over Christmas which was a new experience. We stayed in a Novotel overnight on the way down in France and I must say that was a brilliant experience. The hotel, for what we paid was really good. Me and my family went to Switzerland expecting a similar, if not better standard, only to say we were incredibly disappointed. The Hotel was pretty awful and there was no English television apart from CNN, which is great if you wanted to watch countless reruns of Kim Jong Il's funeral. Of course that would have made for a very merry Christmas. Not going to bash Switzerland too much other than to say the place was basically built for millionaires, not us ordinary folk who'd need to take out a loan just to buy a coke bottle - Not a large one either.

This having been said, the snow was amazing, we went to Engelburg at the foot of  the amusingly named Mount Titliss and we took a ride along the glacier express from Andermaat to Chur. The views of which were stunning. It was my first ever white Christmas and I enjoyed every moment of it, including the sledding on Christmas day. I sincerely hope your Christmas, was as pleasant and I wish you all a fruitful new year!
