I wonder why Miss Universe has a question and answer section.

Beauty and brains, it's what every guy would want in a girl, right? Well, quite possibly not. As sexy as brains can be, it's been proven that the more brains a person has the more vices and undesirable acts are likely to be committed. And with enough brains he/she would be able to cover his/her tracks fairly well. And quite technically you'd think about it and realise that you're as unlikely to find a decent set of brains on a beauty paegant as you are to find a unicorn atop a Himalayan mountain. Not to mention that prestige of having the most beautiful woman in the world is in fact a farce, I'd rather be in a country with overall decent-looking girls than one beautiful women backed up by a throng of Abigail Chays.

In fact, the smartest and incidentally beautiful women in the world(which seems like an oxymoron no matter how I look at it) would know better than to join a beauty paegent. There are some things in this world just not meant to go together, and one of them is beauty and brains, along with its semi-rhyming iteration, beauty and games. There are probably several terms you can use here that doesn't exactly fit well with beauty, making beauty a rather grotesque feature of nature since it doesn't fit in like it should. Beauty and Canes? Beauty and Sane?Only if said person is attached, there's a "two out of three" rule on these things. Beauty and Danes? Probably not, at the risk of sounding racist. Beauty and pain, however, go together like bricks and cement.

In fact, it's almost guaranteed that pain can be manufactured out of almost every experience. Yet, with so much pain in the world, it's not going anywhere, proving almost certainly that "no pain, no gain" is a lie manufactured by people who produce those cheap motivational postcards you see in bookstores or even an overzealous primary school teacher looking for a way to make students willingly accept punishment. Hard work may pay off in the long run, but working hard for 65 years to enjoy life when I look more like a prune than a person isn't exactly my idea of living. Heck, living to 65 isn't even very appealing, given that rheumatism starts kicking in and you can't walk ten metres without popping a kneecap. I'm sure there's a joke to be made about rheumatism "kicking" in somewhere. Laziness, however, provides you immediate rewards, and working hard becomes an option when you sit up and realise that laziness isn't working out too well when you don't have money to buy a packet of tissue. However, slacking off in the midst of working will cause you to be your own undoing, effectively screwing yourself over and looking like an idiot. My taste may not be mainstream, but I'm sure public embarassment isn't really an "in" thing right now, no matter how Ah LiAnzzzzzz 4eVa~ may make it look so.

Hard work pays off in the long run, but laziness pays off now!

It has been an oddly uncanny day.
