I love writing. If you want to know anything else just ask me or else read up! I have two blogs ("A Pen Itching To Bleed Onto Paper" and "The Rebirth of J"). One of my blogs (A Pen...) is updated more frequently than the other. "The Rebirth” is more of a story I am writing with my life whereas "A Pen" would be my random thoughts past, present, and future in this unfolding journey I call life. If this is your first time reading my blog, please visit Post #2 for the month of April 2008 in my "A Pen" blog archives... Thanks!

Yesterday Post 2: If God wanted boys to wear earrings...

"If God wanted boys to wear earrings, He would have made them girls...” - Don Siegelman

LOL! I read this quote yesterday (Friday) and it had me laughing. I guess I'm a little old fashioned but never have I thought that earrings were a guy thing. I went through my trendy phases when I was a kid and all but pierced ears were always a girl thing to me. I always thought it was really feminine, especially when guys had BOTH ears pierced. When it comes to piercings in general, they're not that fem, its only ear piercing. Eyebrows, nose, chin, and lip piercings all seem acceptable for guys. Now tongue piercings are different, I don't thing anybody should do that, lol.

It seems like guys are getting more and more fem these days. Earrings, plucked eyebrows, manicures and pedicures are considered normal these days. Back in the day (in my hood, lol) guys like that would have gotten mollywhopped, lol! Today all of this is acceptable, go figure. Either way, it is amazing to see how things change as time goes by.
