Just to set the record straight.
I am beginning to think some of you may believe that I have questionable tastes. Some of you may point to entries on this page, others to archived entries (but you won’t, I was mopey and sad in the archives. It’s a drag to read) Some may ask my family, who read the blog. Although, they all know that if they break silence, they are SO written out of the pinball machine will. So here, let me set the record straight.
Since pictures tell a thousands words, this blog should be a couple million words long.
Me Circa 2002 (Grandfather was dieing, I wasn’t happy). This is me at my heaviest, and me, and my most Hawaiian shirt.
Isn’t that shirt a beauty? I was also sitting next to one of the coolest guys on the planet, if I do say so myself.
You can see some this Hawaiian shirt.
I was in the midst of growing out a scraggly beard at the time as well.
Fast forward about a year and a half, and I found some boots.
(I was sooo Rock)
The the Strawberries that dispense advice (since the achieved sentience)
Then me sleeping the night before Christmas. Surrounded by my computer gizmos.
Followed by me downing some brewski’s after the breakup.
“The Sadder But Wiser Girl For Me” playing on the Mp3 player.
Then me in a jacket
Me surrounded by Star Wars Geeks
Then me in a Brazilian Soccer Jersey.
So, as you can see..
Well, I’m not quite sure where I was going with this, nor where it was going to end.
Oh, and if you pay close attention you’ll notice the coolest thing of all.
The side burns just keep getting longer.
Rock On.
Have they joined each other into an Amish beard yet?
Chris- I don’t care what anyone says about how you look. I think that you look good! I really like the picture of you with your sunglasses on and the ones with your really long sideburns. Hey are you still growing them out? Good luck with that! Just keep wearing what makes you feel happy! :):):):):)
Well, I didn’t see any white jeans involved so I think you’re clear of any unpardonable fashion sins here.
And I really like the jersey in the last picture. It’s nice. But then again I like things like that on guys – like shirts which look as if they’re part of a mechanic uniform with your name on a badge on the breast pocket. That’s hot, even if it is meant to be *gag* ironic.
Dude, I’m your friend (I think, if you’d still call me that after all of the “shenanigans” of late), and as a friend I feel I have to tell you this:
NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE, not even Angelina or Brad, EVER looks good in self-portrait shots. EVER. Too much nostril. Too much chin. Too much “I can’t smile for this pic or my teeth will be HUGE” frowns. Just too much.
Stop taking them already, hand the camera off to someone, anyone, a complete stranger, take a step back and smile, would ya?? I have THE most adorable picture of you up on our bulletin board, taken by someone other than you, with a smile. THAT, my friends, is Hardy. (8 x 10 glossies of said picture are available for the asking, ladies. I think I could even forge his signature if you’d like to make all your girlfriends jealous.)
And PS, I admit, I’ve known about the Hawaiian shirt craze for quite some time but purposely kept it from you in fear that you’d never wear anything else again. 😉
Love ya Hardy!
Kelly: The lamb chops are inching towards each other. I give them another three weeks before the amish beard begins.
Then I start calling ya’ll “The English”
Nicole: Thanks, and yes, they are still growing. Though a intervention may need to happen soon.
Laura: How about a white belt? 🙂 Oh, and unfortunatly, I have work shirts, I have lots of work shirts, most of my clothing is work shirts.
It’s why I <3 E-bay. It continues to feed my addiction.
Leigh: Ok. Ok. I’ll stop with the self portraits, though, I do like the up the nose one.
And what is this portrait you have of me?
I’m all kinds of nervous about that :I Please remind me, before glossies are sent out…
No, self portraits are perfectly fine! However, they’re not fine if taken directly in front of your face (where they make it look as if it is a mug shot) or if they’re taken looking up at your face (where even skeletor would look as if he had a double chin). The secret to taking pictures of yourself is to take them holding the camera above your head usually with your face at an angle. It doesn’t even look as if you took the picture yourself, and it’s an angle most everyone looks great in.
Trust me. This is from a girl who has taken approximately 938203570320370223709 pictures of herself (and deleted 938203570320370223701 of them).
