this probably isn't the best way to start out a blog about the media, but i just need to complain for one second about digital cameras. actually, it's not even really a complaint. just a comment about my digital camera use, which can be summed up in one word: excessive. i take so many pictures. and it is a huge problem, especially when trying to pick a picture to display at the top of my blog. i mean, choosing a picture is kind of a big deal, right? it's the first thing people see and it's HUGE--mostly because i can't figure out how to make it smaller but still...i have so many pictures of myself and i just couldn't seem to pick which one would be the best. should it be a serious picture? a cheesy picture? a classy picture? so many pictures of myself made the choice rather difficult especially since i look super great in every single one of them--HAHA. i probably shouldn't tell you this but i have been sitting at my computer for about an hour now going through all the many pictures of myself trying to decide which one would be most appropriate for this blog. such the dilemma...
now, if you happened to miss the picture when you first logged on (which was probably difficult to do considering the size of that thing!) just take a look right above this post and you will be able to see the lucky picture that got chosen. now, many of you may be wondering why i chose the picture i chose. well, this is what i eventually had to do because sometimes i lack assertive decision making skills: randomly select an album, pick the thirty-seventh picture in the album (yes there are at least that many pictures in each of my albums hence the dilemma. also 37 is my favorite number f.y.i.) and wa-lah! picture problem solved. my roommates may not be too happy about the decision (they're the girls with me in the picture) but to them i say, i'm sorry. this was the only solution i could come up with and personally i think they look great!
so now you know a little bit about how this blog came to look the way it looks. and to those of you out there thinking about creating a blog of your own, i have just provided you with a way to choose your blog picture. what can i say? i'm here to help.
well that's all for now. more significant media posts to follow :)
