Don't Judge a Book

People always say "don't judge a book by it's cover". I must say, it is good advice. After all, just because the kid on the front of that book looks a little bit retarded, doesn't mean that the book's insides are retarded. However, no one ever seems to follow that advice.

The whole point of a book cover is to be intriguing, right? To catch some poor soul's eye and entice them into thinking that the book must be good, even though it's really a history book. Think about it this way. Why do girls wear makeup? Why do guys wear cologne? Is it to look your best for the school day, or is it just to hide that cherry-like zit on the end of your nose, or cover up that "manly musk"? It's disgusting, really.

"Hey, kid, yeah you, there. Don't ever, ever, never judge a book by it's cover."

Three hours later.

"Ugh! Why do none of these books look good?!"

I wish we could just technologically advance quicker so that the time machine could be invented and I could go back to medieval times. Seriously! You wanna complain about fat people? Get to work on that time machine and you can go back to a time where they actually had to plow a field . . . with their hands! I'm sure there were plenty of skinny people back then! And they didn't even have to go to gym class! Plus, they didn't have make-up, and their books were either scrolls or had boring brown covers with maybe a few words on them. Which brings me back to not judging books by their covers. I'm guilty of it. You're guilty of it. We're all guilty of it! But maybe for some people that's a good thing. Authors make out rich, really not-as-attractive-as-they-seem girls get the "cute" guy. Depressed, super sad people don't have embarrasingly red noses and bloodshot eyes on the outside, even though on the inside, they're still grieving Dumbledore's death. It's really what makes the world go 'round.

What was the meaning of this, you ask? I don't know. It's a rant. They really just go in endless circles.
