i'm sorry

i just HAVE to say this somewhere, to someone:
i find it absolutely ridiculous when couples take pictures of themselves looking each other in the eyes, or kissing, or whatever...how can you even pretend that that's actually an authentically romantic moment of you just staring at each other without another thought or care in the world, when clearly you're both thinking about the fact that one of you is holding a camera inches away from both your faces, and trying to angle it so that both people are in the picture, but you can't look at the camera to check and see if it's at the right angle because you're supposed to be busy looking at each other, and you know right after you take the picture you're going to stop looking at each other and check the picture to see if it's "cute" enough (or if both people's faces are even in the frame)?! and finally, why, oh why, would you post such a picture on facebook? and not just ONE such picture. more like 20. in a row. see, the assumption is that you only post pictures to the internet that you think other people would want to see.

but we live in a crazy world where people do crazy things all the time. and i guess if i had to choose between the cultural revolution and sappy inauthentic couple pictures on facebook, i would take the latter. but only reluctantly. ha ha...just kidding...

i was so tempted to post an example picture, but i won't. just in case any of you know these people. hahaha. okay /rant.
