The real me

I realize that I don't often post pics of myself. In fact, I think only one has slipped in around here. So, inspired by Evil Spock, I've decided to give you a glimpse at some snapshots of me. Hopefully they will satiate your curiosity and you will leave feeling more fulfilled. In order for there not to be any confusion, I'll walk you through them.

This first one is of me when I visited the kids of South Park not long ago. Handsome fella, eh? Anyone who knows me would agree, that is pretty much my normal look: button-up shirt, khaki pants. I've kind of turned it into my own little uniform. You'll never see me in jeans, not often in suits. It is a comfortable look that can be professional without being intimidating.
Now, don't get me wrong. If the occasion calls for it, I'm all for kickin' it up a notch. Here I am feeling slick.

On the other hand, I'm probably most happy during some precious down time. Here I am in what my Japanese friend refers to as "change wear:" T-shirt and sweatpants. Maybe I'm about to do some project around the house, maybe I'm about to watch a movie, or play around on the computer. Who knows, it's all good.

That relax time is important, for sometimes at work it feels as though I've been through battle.

Some days I'm a little bit this...

Other days I'm a little more this...

Most days, I'm just a healthy combination of both.

Whoops, hey, how'd that one get in there? I don't look like... who took that... OK, that's enough pictures. Hopefully you now have a mental image while you read on. BTW, if you're interested in wasting time too, click here and knock yourself out.

Self-portraits with a touch of (cute) humour... it certainly appeals to my inner child :)
I only wish there had been a female version on the site you used!

Yes...a female version of you "on the weekend" would have been nice.

You are too cute baby doll. Love the grey streak. So accurate my friend, so accurate. :-)

You look absolutely nothing like I thought. I always imagined that you were a sort of cross between Buddy Hackett and Joan Rivers.

Heehee, I remember when I used to spend time building those South Park dolls. Pictures. Things. You know.

le nightowl: Ah, but there is! Well, really you start out pretty non-descipt... a blank canvas literally. You can make yourself look however you want, even some well placed bumps if you are so inclined ;)

rr: Gotta have the grey streak, it's my trademark.

dan: No, more like a cross of JFK Jr. and a thinner Kevin James.

spacecake: Yes, it's amazing the goodness that came from cut paper.

Good to see you've learned something by visiting The Few!

Evil Spock will reveal himself sooner or later. Gotta ramp up the anticipation and get a haircut . . .

I like how the only one you are smiling in is the comfy sweats and T. That says a lot.

Merci de l'information et bonne journée Monsieur AML!

I will have to agree with hair that the grey streak is the best touch. But it does look like a little AML on SP.

That is NUTS!

Oh the SP stories you could do just in the apartment complex!

iheart: Ah, you know he's not my dear, but it's OK to fantasize.

le nightowl: De rien.

cmeddie: It's weird how close it is eh? In a cartoony South Park way of course.
