I'll follow you until you love me

Since we all love a good generalization, I'm going to put it simply: paparazzi are annoying.

Okay, that's not totally fair. Their job is just annoying. But I'm going to safely say that a lot of them are. And the guilty would most likely disagree via speech and agree via smerk. This, in turn, has given birth to the Kanyes, Biebers, and.... Zayns? Yup, the paps even have the English boy band under their spell. No one is safe. NO. ONE. 
Okay, let's be serious. This doesn't even seem out of character for Kanye. This just looks so natural... like he's handling his business, which just so happens to be this man. I mean, I'm not completely mad at Kanye. Who is to say that you or I will never have a paparazzi in an attempted chokerhold? I respect him for consistently keeping it real, even when it guarantees ridicule, distaste, and the scarlet letter "D" for douche upon his chest. It's obvious his decisions aren't always the best and are hurtful but hey, I'm guilty of both. We may not understand Kanye fully, or even at all, but you have to understand his defensiveness for a lot of things, people, and situations we don't know the half about. I'm not excusing his behavior, just taking an objective peep inside his world. I once read a statement that was like, "I swear I'm not crazy, I'm just passionate." I'm pretty sure that was made for people like him. And I would rather be both than to stand for nothing at all.
Yup Justin, I would hate it too. People holding onto my past, digging into my present, and turning my present into the future (picture on every tabloid in less than 24 hours kind of future). But it's not all their fault. There's self-control, overlooking, and passivity... none of which  sound like a very easy option in a circumstance that seems like deja vu. I feel for you, I really do. I just hope this whole fame thing doesn't make you hate every person you see with a camera and a mouth on the street. I feel like that might be where we're headed here.
Celebrity middle finger pics are actually my favorite, especially from people like Zayn Malik. This one specifically because 1) Zayn is in One Direction and 2) All I can picture in my head is their beyond innocent music video on the beach for "What Makes You Beautiful". I mean seriously, I vaguely remember seeing a female in that entire video. I get it, that was probably over three years ago but I will admit I have problems letting go of Disney-like, teenage superstars. You're going to stay young, sweet, and untainted for as long as we both shall live. No one, and for the second time in this post I mean NO. ONE., can tell me that Miley isn't still Hannah, Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens aren't still high school sweethearts, and Lindsay Lohan isn't a twin. Now slide that middle finger down Zayn, we know you didn't mean it. Tell the paparazzi what makes them beautiful... or not.
