Theme Thursday: Hair

Some people don't approve of Lady Gaga because she does outrageous things sometimes. But here, she does something really nice for a fellow who lost his best friend to cancer. She's a good person at heart. We all need to cut each other a little slack before we judge.

This is a response to a Theme Thursday prompt.

Hair (Lady Gaga)

Whenever I'm dressed cool my parents put up a fight

And if I'm hot shot, mom will cut my hair at night

And in the morning I'm short of my identity

I scream, "Mom and dad, why can't I be who I wanna be, to be?"

I just wanna be myself and I want you to love

Me for who I am

I just wanna be myself and I want you to know

I am my hair

I've had enough, this is my prayer

That I'll die livin' just as free as my hair

I've had enough, this is my prayer

That I'll die livin' just as free as my hair

I've had enough, I'm not a freak

I just keep fightin' to stay cool on the streets

I've had enough, enough, enough

And this is my prayer, I swear

I'm as free as my hair

I'm as free as my hair

I am my hair

I am my hair

Free as my hai-ai-air

Hai-ai-air, hair

Free as my hai-ai-air

Hai-ai-air, hai-ai-air

Sometimes I want some raccoon or red highlights

Just because I want my friends to think I'm dynamite

And on Friday, Rock City High School dance

I've got my bangs to hide that I don't stand a chance, a chance

I just wanna be myself and I want you to love

Me for who I am

I just wanna be myself and I want you to know

I am my hair

I've had enough, this is my prayer

That I'll die livin' just as free as my hair

I've had enough, this is my prayer

That I'll die livin' just as free as my hair

I've had enough, I'm not a freak

I just keep fightin' to stay cool on the streets

I've had enough, enough, enough

And this is my prayer, I swear

I'm as free as my hair

I'm as free as my hair

I am my hair

I am my hair

Free as my hai-ai-air

Hai-ai-air, hair

Free as my hai-ai-air

Hai-ai-air, hai-ai-airr

I just want to be free, I just want to be me

And I want lots of friends that invite me to their parties

Don't want to change and I don't want to be ashamed

I'm the spirit of my hair, it's all the glory that I bear

I'm my hair, I am my hair

I'm my hair, I am my hair

I am my hair, I am my hair, I am my hair

It's all the glory that I bear

I'm my hair, I am my hair

It's all the glory that I bear

I'm my hair, I am my hair

I'm my hair, yeah, yeah

It's all the glory that I bear

I'm my hair, yeah, yeah

It's all the glory that I bear

I'm my hair, yeah, yeah

It's all the glory that I bear

I'm my hair, yeah, yeah

I've had enough, this is my prayer

That I'll die livin' just as free as my hair

I've had enough, this is my prayer

That I'll die livin' just as free as my hair

I've had enough, I'm not a freak

I just keep fightin' to stay cool on the streets

I've had enough, enough, enough

And this is my prayer, I swear

I'm as free as my hair

I'm as free as my hair

I am my hair, I am my hair

Ooh, I'm my hair, I'm my hair

Theme Thursday: Wonder

If you were wondering what Spectra wonders...
Spectra wonders a lot of things. The older Spectra gets, the less she knows.
But here is something that is on Spectra's mind a lot of the time.

Spectra wonders why there is so much hatred for people of larger body types.
You should be dancing, no matter what your body type. Without "losing weight" as a reason. Just dance to be dancing.
If your legs don't work, make your wheels dance!
If you're bed-bound, let your mind dance.

No one body type is better than any other.
Some body types allow people to do more things.
But there is zero significant difference in the abilities of healthy thin people and healthy fat people.

Spectra hated her body for years because it's a fat body. She punished it, trying to make it lose weight. The weight would go away for a while, then it would return, plus several pounds more.
Spectra stopped exercising because it wasn't making her lose weight.
It became apparent that attempting to enforce weight loss wasn't working.
Unfortunately, it took 35 years to realize this.

Now, I move. Now I eat healthier food but don't restrict calories.
I don't love my body, but at least now I'm not always berating it.

Regarding the above video:
Wasn't John Travolta great in Saturday Night Fever?
He was lithe and lean, and he could dance.
Now John is heavier.
Why should this make him the butt of jokes?
He's still a great actor.
And I bet he can still dance!

I wonder if we could all be a little nicer to each other, regardless of race, nationality, gender, religion, sexual preference, or size.
It really isn't as hard as we make it.
