Is This Real Life?

Lots of times when you get a person on camera they’ll act a little differently than they would otherwise. It’s easy to become more aware of yourself and how you’re being perceived, and it’s very easy to get self conscious. So maybe you act and react a little differently. “This is how I always stand,” you’ll scream to yourself, in your head. “I have to go to the bathroom and look at my face, I think it might look weird right now.”

But sometimes you get a person who just doesn’t give an F what anyone thinks about him, and maybe doesn’t even realize he’s on camera because he is a penguin and doesn’t understand what cameras are, so he’s just totally natural and it’s just so refreshing to see. He’s not trying to impress anyone. He understands the world and he rejects it because it is terrifying. He’s just keeping it real.

Humans on the Earth

Belgium is famous for its waffles, but apparently not enough has been said of its wackadoodles. Here is a fine specimen, and a great example of people who think they are animals. People who think they are animals (or PWTTAA) never seem to get into all the boring parts of animal life. Sure they love the costumes and walking weird like an animal, who wouldn't. But why don't they also get into eating gross animal food and sleeping on the floor or outside animal style. Real animal living requires commitment, and unless these PWTTAAs start getting real, they are just poseurs if you ask me (I know nobody asked me).
