A true smile


   Sometimes I think we forget how to smile. I think we get so used to putting on that fake smile that we forget what it's like to actually smile. Between posing for facebook pics, plastering that fake smile for work, or when talking to that particularly annoying family member/friend. We forgot how to just genuinely smile. 




However sometimes that real smile comes out, and usually it's accompanied by an unexpected event. Much like the ones these people experienced when they logged into chatroulette.com. 

        Ok, so chatroulette.com is basically good for nothing other than creepers, frat boys, and boobs. However every once and while something as worthless as chat roulette proves itself worthy by becoming part of the human experience. This video of a man parading around to Carly Rae Jepsen’s “call me maybe” side by side with his unknowing audience and their varied reactions. 
        Once you get past the quizzical WTF look, almost everyone begins to grin or sing along. You know that grin, the kind that happens when something completely unexpected surprises you. That I shouldn’t be smiling at this man prancing around in a bikini singing one of this summers catchiest tunes, but damn it I am smiling at it. So the point I am making is that sometimes you need something so ridiculous, something off the wall and insane that catches you off your guard so you can flash a truly genuine smile. In fact on of the viewers actually thanks the man for “making his day”
