Because weekends are always slow… and I need to clear these out of my Photoshop files… here are three pictures…
That is a picture of me. Well, it isn’t really me. But it sort of looks like me. I have this friend named Joe Hoover. Well, he isn’t really named that. That is what he calls himself for blogging purposes. His blog is called London Survival. He is English. He did a post: http://london-survival.com/2013/08/23/the-moods-of-thumb/ where he took his little Gravatar picture… which is a picture of his thumb… well, he tells me it isn’t really his thumb… but since those small pictures are called ‘thumbnails’, you can see how a picture of a thumb and it’s nail is frightfully clever… anyway, he did a post where he turned the little thumb into some of his favorite bloggers. And did some other funny thumb-related stuff. I was honored to make it onto the list. And I think he captured the essence of me. In fact, I might have all my fingernails done to look like me. Because I am that freakin’ self-centered! Did you get all that?
Okay, that is a picture of a little Civil War diorama/model that I am working on. Jason, my older daughter’s boyfriend, took the picture, then cut parts out and added them again… you might notice the same guy in there more than once… to give it depth, and then added the mountains, smoke and sky digitally. I might have to try that myself.
And that is a picture taken at our unofficial high school reunion. You may recall that I dropped out of high school when I was 17 and went into the Navy. It is a long story, but I don’t get invited to real reunions. And I am okay with that. Why hang out with people just because they went to school at the same time as you?
We did an unofficial one. We just invited all of the people we liked, the people we hung out with and partied with. Age didn’t matter. You didn’t even have to go to the same high school as most of us did. That was one heck of a party, let me tell you. Those Bay Area people know how to do it. A friend put this picture up on Facebook. I have a bunch of photos of this party. Remind me to do a post about it sometime.
This took place a while ago. Let’s see… Mollie, whom I’m holding, looks about a year or a little more old. That means Jessica in the front would have been 9 or 10. Mollie is now 14 and just started high school herself. So this is about 13 years ago. That is my friend Chris on the right. Simmer down, ladies. Yes, I know… he is still that handsome. Remember the picture of him pulling up on his Harley at my mom’s party a few weeks ago?
And look at me… still had the long hair. My chin hairs were just starting to turn a little grey. I still have the long hair on my driver’s license picture. I am keeping that picture until they make me change it. Because it is funny watching people compare the now me to the then me when I cash a check.
Pouring My Art Out 
Get down the nail bar and have that done
What about the nail gun?
It won’t look very manicured using that
I guess…
How often do you have to change drivers license pics?
I don’t know what the rule is off the top of my head.
Try drawing it with a brush next time 🙂 lol
