DAY 6: Selfless selfies…..PART I

Man!  I'm on a roll with this blogging thing.  Not to be over confident, but I'll probably be able to blog every day FOREVER!! Okay, thats a stretch.  I thought that since the last few posts have been a touch intense, that we would lighten the mood a little with some oversharing.

As you may or may not know, I am an unashamed lover of the selfie.  It's just damn fun.  How else are you supposed to know that I am driving down the road with a car packed full of stuff unless you saw this?

Nothing creepy about that.  But then I did this, and it almost made up for it.

When traveling abroad, nothing makes you more popular than inserting yourself into peoples lives.  They love it, especially when they are running a marathon, and they don't know what to think about you at all.

Anywhoo, the point is, there is a lot of huff and puff about selfless being douchey, but I say isn't it more douchey for me to ask you to take a picture of me doing something inane???
