My Engagement Photos Will Look Something Like This

People are going to murder me for saying this, but the new trend of "magazine style" engagement photos is really lame. These pictures never look cool. The couple is either in front of a fountain, skipping along a street, or in some other trite setting. They are contorted into any number of cheesy poses that look awkward, unnatural, and monotonous. 55 pictures of staring into each other’s eyes, awkwardly embracing in front of a fountain, or dreamily walking down a boring street? Um. Ya. Looks great.

My friends tell me that when I plan my wedding they are going to remind me of my diatribe against engagement photos. Go ahead. Print out this blog post and save it for later. But you better laminate it because I’m never getting married. I will mostly shack up with some dude, who I will subsequently mate with, but I will never walk down an aisle unless someone drugs/drags me. So, unless you have a steady supply of Rohypnol and a strong arm, I’m not doing it. Cuison I was born. Cuison I will always be.

However, if I were to ever get married (Lord knows I’ve been engaged more than once. Ya, ya. Those stories are for another day.) and commence to get engagement photos done, they would look something like this.




And as for bridal photos, I'll do something like this.

Because seriously, when I get married, the nuptials will take place in wintry landscape located in hell.

So I might as well go all out, right?

You don't like Jack White? Really?

I confessed to my friend of my borderline unhealthy obsession with Jack White. (It’s not really a confession since I’ve written about it in newspaper articles, my blog, status updates, etc.) But she was shocked. She said, “Why would anyone be obsessed with him? That’s a weird person to be obsessed with.”

It hit me that not everyone has to hear his voice at least once a day, in order for the day to feel complete. (True story.)

So, for you, my dear friends, I have compiled the top five Jack White performances/videos that, if you aren’t already, worshipping him as a musician and overall eccentric quirky talented person, you will by the end of the fifth video.

Enjoy.

1. Jack White in It Might Get Loud making a guitar


2. Live performance of Ball and Biscuit


3. Live performance of Jolene


4. Video of Treat Me Like Your Mother


5. Live Performance of Bang, Bang
