Wacky Holidays: Selfie Day

National Selfie Day

Date When Celebrated : Always June 21

Today is National Selfie Day. It's a cinch to participate in this holiday. And, it's fun! Simply take your smartphone out of your pocket or purse, and take a selfie. Better yet, get a couple friends, and take a selfie with them. Make sure to put on as big smile. And, don't forget to post it on facebook.

Selfies are extremely popular. Millions of them are taken each and every day. It kind of makes you wonder why we need a special day to encourage us to take a selfie.

Most people believe selfies originated when smartphones came on the scene. Smartphones have built-in, hi pixel cameras, with a lens on both sides of the camera, making it easy to take a selfie. In actuality, selfies were around for a long, long time, they just weren't called "selfies". Back in the day of film based cameras, some cameras had a delay feature on the camera. You could set the camera up on a table or tripod, aim it, and press the delay button (usually ten seconds). Then, you had to run to where the camera was aimed and pose. They were not called selfies. Although, some people referred to them as "self-portraits".

Thought for the Day? If a picture you take of yourself is called a "selfie", shouldn't a picture you take of you and a group of friends be called a "groupie"?

The Origin of National Selfie Day:

Our research did not find the creator of this special day. This day was originated sometime after the arrival of smartphones with built-in cameras with the capability to take hand-held selfies. At,most this holiday has been around since the early 2000's.

ENJOY!!

 I LOVE CHOCOLATE! (AND HOT CHEETOS!)

SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT I AM CRAZY TO LOVE CHOCOLATE AND HOT CHEETOS. SOME PEOPLE LIKE JUST CHOCOLATE, AND SOME PEOPLE LIKE JUST HOT CHEETOS. I DON'T KNOW WHY I LOVE BOTH OF THEM, BUT I DO. 

AS I AM WRITING THIS, I HAVE TWO SMALL SYMPHONY BARS BY MY SIDE. THEY ARE MADE OF  "CREAMY MILK CHOCOLATE, ALMONDS & TOFFEE CHIPS", THIS QUOTE IS TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM THE WRAPPER. 

I REALLY LOVE HOT CHEETOS. NOT JUST HOT CHEETOS, BUT REALLY, ANYTHING SPICY. I WILL SERIOUSLY ADD CAYENNE PEPPER TO MY MAC 'N' CHEESE! THAT IS HOW MUCH I LOVE IT. 

I ALSO LIKE HOT CHOCOLATE. HOWEVER, IT HAS TO BE MADE A VERY SPECIFIC WAY. I WILL PUT NOT ONE, BUT TWO PACKAGES OF HOT COCOA MIX IN MY MUG. (MY MUG IS HUGE, SO IF I DO NOT MAKE IT THIS WAY, IT TASTE' VERY WATERED DOWN. )

I ALSO LIKE PANCAKES. I AM NOT SURE WHY I ADDED THAT. MAYBE I SHOULD NAME THIS POST FOOD INSTEAD OF CHOCOLATE AND HOT CHEETOS. YOU KNOW WHAT? THAT IS WHAT I WILL DO.

 

                                           FOOD!

 (IN TALK-SHOW VOICE): HELLO, AND WELCOME BACK TO FOOD! THE SHOW WHERE WE TALK ABOUT NOTHING BUT FOOD, FOOD, FOOD. TO MY RIGHT IS MY VERY HELPFUL SYMPHONY BAR, WHO WILL BE EXPLAINING THE ADVANTAGE OF EATING CHOCOLATE WITH EVERY MEAL! WE WILL BE RIGHT BACK AFTER THIS AD.

WOULDN'T THAT BE HILARIOUS? I AM NOW SERIOUSLY THINKING OF STARTING A TALK SHOW ABOUT FOOD! NOPE, DUMP THAT IDEA, I GET STAGE FRIGHT! OH WELL. IT WAS A NICE IDEA. 

SO, BACK TO THE TOPIC OF CHOCOLATE AND HOT CHEETOS. WHERE DID WE LEAVE OFF? OH RIGHT, HOT CHOCOLATE. WELL, AS I WAS SAYING, I CANNOT DRINK MY COCOA UNLESS IT IS HOT. IT MUST BE AS CLOSE TO BOILING AS IT CAN GET. 

WELL, I AM TIRED OF TALKING ALL ABOUT THAT. I WILL NOW LEAVE YOU, SO THAT I CAN EAT MY CHOCOLATE. GOODBYE!
