Okay so I know that most of you aren't happy with me for this and won't agree with my opinions on tanning but I'm going to write about it anyways.

In my opinion tanning is not an entirely bad way to start doing a couple of times before Summer starts so you aren't completely starch white when you go to take your shirt off at the beach. I mean seriously people, I love you, but sometimes you are sort of blinding and after I look at you I have to close my eyes for a while. I mean when I sit in between two of my best friends I feel much like an Uh Oh Oreo, and it's kind of weird. So my main point in saying this is that I feel that I am completely justified in going tanning a couple of times before Summer starts so that I can get some color before and so that I don't blind people.

Yes, I do know that a long term effect of tanning is the possibility of getting skin cancer, but seriously what doesn't give you cancer, I mean it seems that one generation does something and then we find out it had horrible long term side effects in the generation after. I mean if you want to fix something that is really killing millions of people go fix the AIDS epidemic and leave me alone. Or in my opinion we could be trying to fix something that will eventually cause the human race to no longer exist and is leaving our planet devastated. Umm, lets see, what could this be??? Pollution of course. And btw the polluting that we are doing is depleting the ozone layer and thus causing millions of people to be overexposed to UV light and is causing the temperature of the Earth to increase. I'm pretty sure that it would be a lot worse if the majority of the world got skin cancer versus just me getting it. So before you worry about me, please worry about the millions of other people that will exposed to UV light that don't want to be.

There are much worse things that I could be doing or could do again. I brought up this point with my dad after he made a big deal about the tanning thing and it got him to shut up. Well, that and the fact that my mom used to tan all of the time and doesn't really care that I'm going even though she thinks it's a waste of money, which I have plenty of.
