Yesterday and Today
 
Post the best picture of yourself from the past. Something that shows you as your mind's eye sees you at your best. Then post a picture of yourself today.

then we'll make fun of how bad you look now, but we'll fawn over how good you used to look, and tell you that you could get back there. Or we'll make fun of how you used to look, AND how you look now. In any event, you can be assured of a lot of abuse and embarrasment. Sound good?

zippyt 05-18-2006 12:05 AM

You first dude

Ibby 05-18-2006 12:18 AM

Yeah, really, you go first

Elspode 05-18-2006 11:52 AM

Oh, great. Another topic to remind me of impending death. Why don't I just get the bottle of poison out right now and save myself some time? :greenface

lumberjim 05-18-2006 12:08 PM

This is one that just depicts me recently speaking at my dad's memorial.

Older, puffier, not a heck of a lot wiser.

Sun_Sparkz 05-19-2006 10:15 AM

man foot the buttons on that jacket are going everywhere!

footfootfoot 05-19-2006 10:48 AM

yeah, what about the lapels? I'm a horrible judge of fashion, I figured YSL I can't go wrong. One of the three buttons is actually the microphone

thrillhouse 05-19-2006 12:00 PM

Women don't get grizzled. Its a male thing, partially due to having whiskers. Having seen your more recent photo, I know you have no whiskers, and therefore cannot be grizzled.

I'm going to be 50 in September. Do I win? :)

I was 30 on the 30th (once upon a time) but you'll never be 29 on the 54th. Or something like that. But that shouldn't stop you from whining. I meant winning. sorry.:blush:

I sympathize with you. This picture shows alot of emotion. :sniff:

You don't look puffy. I think you are quite handsome which I don't say very often. I don't usually see someones outer appearance first. You must be as handsome on the inside and on the out.

that would be prom night..May or June....either 88 or 90.

.....it was 90. In 88, i had Terminator sunglassses on in the photos.....tee hee..... that's the night i decided i was going to dump my date for jinx. her friend Jen had invited me, and jinx went with our friend, Rob. we spent the night hanging out together during and after.....although plutonic, it was the beginning of our odd courtship........it wasn't until August that we actually hooked up, i think.

You were doing a pretty good impression of one of the Dead End Kids, there, Buster.

You and your sis look like good folk.

ibram, it was a 3 minute blowdrying technique, but it took my barber hours to get it just right. i used to actually get compliments. looked like hell when i grew it out from there, though. oh, and do you always suck in your lips when you're rockin'?

lumberjim 05-22-2006 12:56 AM

Kagen, I don't care if you cut your hair. It's your EYES that I'm in love with--and the fact that you're a very naughty boy. :heartpump

LJ--You are still pretty and once you lose a few pounds you'll look like Mr. 1989 again. And, UT is right--you DO look like 'that' guy. :D

I think my sister can scan photos--i'll ask her to scan some of moi next weekend when I go down to see her. That should scare you.

lumberjim 05-22-2006 06:09 AM

yeah, but my beauty is all on the inside now.. what fun is that?

Trilby 05-22-2006 06:30 AM

but it will be on the OUTSIDE soon enough as you melt away a few pounds! That's why we're dieting, because we are shallow and want others to look upon us with envy! Right? ;)


Do you think Kagen read all those books?
