My very 1st rant. . . . and some info.

Well. I've decided that I will not be posting topical photograghs of me with every post. Don't worry, the posts will still mostly include picture updates. But I've started to learn a few things and will occasionally open the concepts up for discussion so I can get other points of view. I don't want to be close minded when I grow up. On these posts I may include a picture that sparked the question (like maybe a picture of Arlo Guthrie or an old diner for the previous post about the group W bench) or something that fits the post (like the picture of the little prince) .That being said. . . .
This is Ophelia, by J.W. Waterhouse. Big fan of his by the way. He painted real people. Yeah, they may mostly by skinny, but he painted people how they actually look. Freckles and all. Since I am growing up in a society that is so caught up in the "image" of perfection, how am I supposed to combat the constant barrage of images of somebody else's ideal. Why can't I make my own ideal and live up to it? This is coming from a comment that was made about skinny babies and fat babies. Apparently, it is the mass opinion that you have to be a little porker to be healthy. Sad really, be fat when your a baby but skinny when your older. Make up your minds people. It is confusing to the little people. Just to let you know, I am considered by many to be a skinny baby. Maybe so, but I am healthy and growing so what of it? There, I did it. . . . my 1st rant.
