…at least for me. I try not to blog before noon….Mainly because my brain’s not normally awake and also because the day’s just begun so it’s not likely that i have much to say.

It seemed that my post yesterday about running into Brad Pitt sparked about 40 people to email me. Most wanted to know why i didn’t tie him up and Fed-Ex his body parts to them. There were actually some really funny remarks that I’d rather not repeat in the journal. [I wouldn't want to bump my Blog rating up to NC-17 rather than it's R-Rating]

Oh Val snapped this photo of me yesterday outside…Not a typical photo studio shot but I figured I’d share.

I think it’s good to post recent photos of myself constantly…The main reason is this way, you don’t notice that I’m getting to be an old man It’s sort of like visiting Michigan and my friends and family there. Since I don’t see them on a daily basis, i notice age added, weight added/or removed, hair lost, …You get the idea. I’m sure if I were to see these people daily, I wouldn’t notice that sort of thing. Funny, most of the time i still feel like I’m 16 years old and then other times i feel like I’m 60.

The last time my sister came out to California to visit along with my mom, we were talking about how strange it is that we both can remember when our mother was the age we are now. This sort of thing makes me think about my own mortality. Having these sort of realizations is what makes me “go for broke”. It’s that, “you only live once” mentality so let’s pack as much into this life as we can. I know…It sounds a little “preachy”…Not meant to be. It just transformed a shy kid into an attention gathering hog

Sometime in the next few days i have to get more photos taken. These new ones have to show a variety of looks rather than just my usual one you see above. Should be fun
