Ro Rant - Selfish Selfies

selfish selfies in inappropriate places...

everyone's done it...selfie with someone sitting on the toilet in the background, smiling at a funeral, smiling next to the dead person in the casket, smiling besides someone who's in the hospital dying/in a coma/bleeding...

but i guess what really bothers me is the SMILING...why are you SMILING at an unfortunate event/situation/place??  i don't understand it...i see pictures of people upset at funerals or when they are with their loved ones in the hospital...i get THOSE...but i don't get the smiling ones...

is it because when someone takes you're picture they always say "smile?"

another thing about these types of pictures is the lack of authentic concern or genuine attitude of the event/situation/place...

maybe it's because i'm usually sad/crying at a funeral...not necessarily smiling...

or if my loved one was dying in a hospital, i'm sad/crying...not smiling...

and when i see something that is cool, i usually take a picture or video, not necessarily a selfie and putting me in the frame...

is that what it is? documenting that YOU were there? 

i don't know...

i guess it's when i see a picture of everyone smiling and happy and i think they are at a "happy" function like a party/birthday/wedding and i click to the next picture and realize they are at a funeral...and i'm like "why the hell do they look so happy?!?"

and then there are THOSE pictures where people pose at a party or club...and THEY AREN'T SMILING!!!  those faces need to be switched with the smiling faces at the funeral...lol

another type of picture that irks me are pictures of people holding a wad of cash, fanning it out...ugh...why???

now, yes...i have taken selfies...i have a few on my facebook...but i didn't take them at a funeral...and i don't have any of me holding money, or someone on the toilet in the background or even in the bathroom mirror...

this is my favorite selfie...i took this at a rest stop somewhere between Texas and Ohio...J's eyes looked so beautiful that i could see myself in his eyes...so i took a selfie using his eye as the mirror...you can see my hand :)
