This stuff wasn't that represented in teh media, and I don't spend lots of time around little kids(except my cousins - after they had gotten a little older), and, as you say, people just don't show genuine emotion that much these days. And yeah, I probably need to get out more, but still.<br /><br />Those pictures did throw me for a loop, though. I must not be used to seeing even a hint of sadness in the faces of small children, like most from my age group. <br /><br />Oddly enough, facebook put a picture of a little kid doing the same expression - "happy-sad" - after catching a fish. The pic looks like its from decades ago. <br /><br />Its on facebook's login page, so you have to log out of facebook, and then open facebook in a new browser, to see it. You should def. do it if you have FB.<br /><br /> Its eerie you should mention this now, actually. Maybe the culture is starting to get looser...<br /><br />-CurtisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-68150857507785384682013-02-02T20:22:39.823-05:002013-02-02T20:22:39.823-05:00It might be because I only put up happy-sad pictur...It might be because I only put up happy-sad pictures -- if you go through the old photo albums or shoeboxes, you'll see the full spectrum there, not just ones designed to tug at the heart-strings.<br /><br />But yeah, it will feel like looking into a different world if you're used to Facebook and YouTube.<br /><br />I've begun insulating myself as much as possible from the kabuki world, and going through all this old stuff is a great relief. The only thing I use YouTube for now is to find '80s music videos and commercials. Just search for '80s commercial vault -- there's enough to last a lifetime.agnostichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12967177967469961883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-66229365410164872662013-02-02T17:44:44.081-05:002013-02-02T17:44:44.081-05:00You've said that during reclusive eras, people...You've said that during reclusive eras, people are scared of feeling emotions towards others. Now, maybe this is an exaggeration, but those pictures of the sad little kids def. hit a nerve with me. <br /><br />-CurtisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
