Brain or Face?

It's been over a week since I've posted. Oops! That's mainly because I've been keeping myself as busy as possible, but staying focused on school. It's kind of funny how quickly time goes by when you keep busy. I'm currently without Facebook, so my biggest every day distraction is gone, and I oddly don't even miss it. I'll be trying to post more frequently, and I have some ideas jotted down, I just haven't had the time to expand on anything. Just a note, I'll be going on a brief trip for Spring Break to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland, OR without a computer, so we'll see if I can squeeze in some cool posts then. I'll be catching 3 plays and a musical in those 5 days, while hanging out with family...it'll be fun, and I look forward to sharing!

So for today, I'll just share an really interesting article I found on CNN, "Beholding beauty: How it's been studied" about how scientists have studied our understanding of beauty. This is part of a 6-week series they're doing called "Perceptions of Beauty."  I'm most intrigued by the idea that is presented in the final section, titled "Beauty as Power." I'm not sure that I agree with the study's results, but I do think there's some truth in the idea that physical appearance can sway people's perception of an individual. I think how a person presents oneself to others is the key to power and success, which comes from one's own personal belief in self, and THAT is a beautiful thing.

I hope to be keeping up with this series in the next few weeks, and I hope you join me!

Anyways, leave your thoughts and comments about the article/series and let's talk!

ps- don't expect another post for another 6 days, I NEED to study, wish me luck on my next exam :P


[edit]: I decided to register my phone for mobile posting and add the email posting option...so maybe you will get a chance to check out the OSF with me next week assuming I'm not to lazy to write something via my phone ;) But if you follow me on twitter, I'll definitely be sharing there!
