I agree too, and as one of the topless guys, I expect more from the girlies. Nice job, Bunny!!

You got it. The camera was LAST thing on my mind at the time, but I'll do better next time...

I like Juanes - he's got some good stuff!! David Bisbal is a little more for me though! And no worries about Spanish, I'm good there!! My first night in Spain I hit a club and ended up dancing with 3 young ladies (sisters!!!) at the same time... Maria Jesus was my personal tour guide....

Hmmmm... probably true, but one of the things that the women I've dated found appealing was my attention to detail.... and not just with shoes...

The SEMA show has some way cool stuff there. I'd love to go someday. If anyone knows how a Joe the Truck Guy like me can get a ticket to that show, pleas let me know.

On a completely different, yet still OT related note, my TV problem is fixed. It's no longer turning itself on. Turns out, it has an automatic input sensor signal on the one of the component video inputs, that turns the on the TV when a new signal is sensed at the input source, so for instance if you put in a DVD the TV will turn on automatically when the DVD player comes on. Pretty cool really. Well, I had my cable box (Hi Def) hooked up to that particular component video input, and as the signal would come and go, the TV would think it's getting a new signal, and turn itself on. I swapped my DVD player's and cable box's inputs, so the DVD is now on the auto input sensor signal, and the TV no longer appears to have a mind of its own. Never in a million years would I have guessed that.

I'm out the door. Time for the annual dental checkup/cleaning thingy they do.

AWWW...NO!!! C'mon guy!! I think Jeremy & I are going to have to take you shopping. The pic of him in his suit tells me he knows how to dress, and dress well. 99% of the time I'm in jeans, t-shirt, or something SUPER casual.... but when it comes time to look sharp.... I've got that handled.

It's also important to not just be able to dress that way, but be comfortable in it. Women will appreciate a nice outfit, but fidgeting will kill it. And white tube socks???!!! You're killing me!!!

God is this ever a load off of my mind. I have been losing sleep over this ever since you first brought it up. Thank you for the update.

These would be cool but I see they are for a moderate astigmatism. I think mines a little more than moderate.

And now for some more pics. As promised, me with a mullet (and topless, LMAO!!!), age about 17.


Me again with a mullet, hanging out with some friends (I'm on the left, if it's not obvious):


Me with some buds more recently with a goatee. As you can see Lisa, it's got the reddish tint to it. LOL. We're out on the lake in the early spring when it was still a little chilly.


Closeup on the lake of me lighting a cigar (sorry, Lisa -- it's not a John Holmes!! ):



Finally, three generations. Me, my Dad, my Brother, and my Grandfather. This was taken in Feb 07 just before going to my Grandmother's funeral.

Thank you, Cris.

Agreed on the hat pic too Lisa. I like it.

Joe, at least get some good pictures this time...and don't forget to email them to me.
That looks like you are thanking me for you not getting any sleep, Jeremy...... If Joe takes pics this time are you still my official picture approver?

You are so right, we love a guy who can dress up when the it is need but even more we want you to be comfortable with it. You wouldn't think it was very attractive if some hot girl was dressed up but didn't know how to act.

Dammit. I knew those shorts would come up... It was the style of those days, and probably a huge reason why I hate this baggy britches look the kids like to sluff around in nowadays. I believe I wore them for gym class, just like the rest of the guys. LMAO!!!!!
