The Glorious Mangina

Todays Tunes: “Objects In The Mirror” – Mac Miller

I can’t stand people who try and fool themselves in academic settings. If you’re a genius then be a genius, if your not then you're not. Point Blank Period. You look like a dumb-ass. As I came to the end of my semester I notice how people all of sudden people want to take life by the horns when its time to study. Finals are just another exam that happens to count twice as much so why stress about it? Seriously, everybody seems to be hopped up on Red Bulls and espresso shots that nobody is normal anymore. All-nighters become a staple as if we’re all vampires (not that twilight shit either).  We’re down to two more exams and the world seems to be getting the best of the class. Oh whatever shall we do??

As for me, man, I just chill. I take ahold of what is important and focus. I know that I am a bright and talented individual who can accomplish many things when prompted to, but I also know that some people don't rock like people like that. Naturally smart people are always betting looked at funny like Trinidad James at the BET Awards. The problem arises when you want to be like the rest, but have a hard time hiding what is obviously there. Which leads us to the “Mangina” theory. For those of you who don't know what a mangina is, This is an example of the mangina in all it’s man-scaped glory . 

Californication: The Glorious Mangina

The Mangina is a concept where we are clearly granted something that is blatantly obvious (I.E. a penis, natural smarts, work ethic) but yet we pretend to act like it doesn’t exist. It happens by tucking whatever we want inside for a short period of time in order to blend in with the rest.  So as I continue this trek to dental school I realize that there are times when we must put on a mangina and make it glorious, sell that mangina as if it was the real deal. Sure I could have walked around this program like King Henry VIII and rubbed it in the face of the “peasants” that I am a genius but what does that get me? A lot of cold stares and words being scribbled behind my back like a "kick me" sign.  But instead I tucked my genius capabilities in and allowed myself to be submerged in the world of the above average student. When left to myself and my own academics, I take it back out and slang it all around and put the smarts back on. It may seem like I’m putting up a façade but lets just take this, a penis is sometimes a threatening and disgusting thing to most people. If you put the junk away then people don’t get intimidated/freaked out. So in a nut sack, people can feel intimidated or inferior to an individual if he bares it all. Give the world a tease. 

When donning the mangina it is key to remember why you are doing it, is it to help reach out to the world or are you hiding your true self because of fear, embarrassment etc? Don't do it to be a fake or a fraud because we see through that shit quick and tear you to shreds. Sometimes it's good to go with the flow, don't be a complete individual all the time. Life sucks when your solo-dolo, regardless of what Cudi said. 

As I conclude my venting I just remind all of you individuals who may be taking the time out of their monotonous and boring lives to read about an equally monotonous and boring individuals life that there’s nothing wrong with hiding the goods for awhile. However take too much time and it might find a way to poke you in the ass...literally which is something nobody don’t want.  Remember this and that the mangina is not a sexual stimulant, it’s a solution to handling the feeling of being intimidating to others. Use the mangina to makes friends. Because we all know why we need friends right?
