I love Being Tall


I came across the following poem about being tall which just says it all. If you have any quotes, poems, a joke or anything you want to share about being tall, be my guest. :)

I Love Being Tall by Stacy-Deanne of Houston, Texas

At 5'11 I stand taller than most

Which leaves an ample amount of reason to boast

When I walk into a room, people stop and stare

But not just at my bright smile or pretty hair

Sometimes I'm amazed at the attention I get

While riding in cars or standing in crowds I see easily without breaking a sweat

In the past I was one of the tallest in school

I wasn't comfortable until I realized tall people rule

I love my height more than anything else

It empowers me, guides and allows me to be myself

Even if I had the choice I wouldn't want to be short

Because tallness brings confidence which is now my best sport

When I look at myself I can't help but be pleased

I make an impression and glide through the crowds with ease

My height helps me through all kinds of weather

It's the glue for my self-assurance that keeps it all together

I never knew being tall was such a treat

Until I come face to face with the people I meet

I love being tall, turning the world onto myself

For if I wasn't tall, I might as well be someone else

wow, sounds too good to be true! once a year? how long have you been doing japanese thermal reconditioning for? my hair texture (normal to fine) is apparently not compatible with it per the hairdresser who evaluated my hair. i also looked into a perm that just makes curly hair more wavy - somehow those options seem limited as well for my hair. aaah...such is life!

Uzma03: Nice one... Japanese thermal relaxing may be expensive, but it actually works out cheaper in the long run because you only have to get it done once a year. Also, it effectively cuts out all those niggling frequent trips to the hairdresser!

I moved to Albany for work-related reasons. Gotta pay for all my shoes somehow! j/k

I'm not sure what you mean by "resembling" that remark. Are you being sarcastic again?! ;)

It seems that there is someone else in this village more sarcastic than I...he shall remain nameless (hint, hint...
ALHAKEEMPALI)!!!

I am from Arizona myself...born and raised. How can you think that Arizonans are bad people?! :)

FOXGLOVE: Thanks for the tips. I have now resorted to a ceramic flatiron for the days I do want to straighten out the curls to sleek, straight hair - I have gotten pretty good results with that. Plus, I don't have to deal with roots. And it's oh-so-foolproof and takes 20 minutes or less!

AMMOORI: Maybe all the guys' pictures are just so dull that it makes the girls' pictures look bright...? These things are really all relative. Yes, I am tall, hence my participation in this village!

Just an aside...I was at the mall today, and this lady actually stopped me to tell me she loved my height and wanted it! :)

Uzma: I had Japanese thermal relaxing done (it's also known as bonding). It's very expensive and takes about 4-7 hours depending on the length and thickness of your hair, but it's sooo worth it! Even fluffy, coarse hair becomes super-silky...

The Yuko system fundamentally changes the texture of your hair, and nourishes it with negative ions (whereas blowdryers and ceramic hair straighteners are damaging, and I don't have the time to use them regularly). It is a pain when the curly roots start to grow back, but I just start to wear hats more often when that happens ;)

Regular straightening via chemical relaxers doesn't work - your hair goes back to frizzy in the next wash! If you have normal to fine hair, I would suggest buying a straightening iron which is charged with negative ions :)

I think it's interesting that AMMOORI made that comment about girls brightening pics after my last comment...should I take that personally?

Yes, Vin Diesel is testament to my earlier statement about good looking bald men being really good looking.

I am almost 5'8" (5'7.5" to be exact).

I am not meaning to offend, but there are pics in naseeb that are way brightened!! it just an observation but not a generality.

Vin Diesel looks great. If he just don't talk, he would look even better. So Uzma03, I tend to multi task when I write so I don't spell check nor double check what I write.

Do girls brighten their pics on Naseeb?! I don't think so, or at least I don't think its fair to assume that all do. No matter what her skin colour, a girl should be happy with it, why deceive others. Besides, Amoorie, there Pakistani girls range in skin colour from white to dark... so if a Paki girl looks white on Naseeb, it could be that she is.

And bald guys who look good.......Vin Diesel! 'nuf said ;)
