Pfew! Thank goodness there aren't any photos of when I was 12, gangly, oppressed by braces, and permed is all I'm sayin'. Er... wait...

14 March 2006

Not the best day for me to have a case of the giggles (which I do). Not only is Jenny my newest favorite in-law, but she should also win some award for "Most Creative Use of a Scanner".

Let me introduce you to my brother, "Sir Thinks-He's-In-Dokken".

mullet

Yes siree. That's my big bro and that's my big bro's permed mullet circa 1991. Ha ha ha {gasp} ha ha ha. If I were truly cruel (which I am) I'd go home tonight and dig out the photo of my gangly, 8th grade self putting his mullet in to a ponytail for him.

Because, uh, ponytails are really hard 'n stuff. Just ask my big brother!

Just look how his cute little baby-girl curls lay against that perfect shade of blue polo (which match his eyes) (I'm also pretty sure that shirt was part of his uniform in Catholic high school).

Oh man, I'm just killing myself today.

LOL!!!---SIR-THINKS-HE'S-IN-DOKKEN,,,
THAT KILLS ME, ESPECIALLY SINCE HE WAS/IS SO PROUD OF THE FACT THAT HE ONCE MET DOKKEN(and I'm sure he could tell you the band member's names too)

BTW.. I think it's about time I find the home video of his "band" I'm sure the boys will get a kick out of it (God bless Shelby for archiving all those special moments)

Thank god she only did that for Paul and not me!

Cuz, um, that would've been real, real embarrassing (not to mention mortifying, humiliating, and totally unnecessary) 'n stuff.

Wait. Don't said photos of Margaret exist somewhere on Flickr?

Damn, Steve is good.
Wow.

But I think this one's better...
The boat pic is just too, um, normal looking.

How about this one? I find it's fitting with today's hat picture.
THEN.
NOW.

Damn, Steve is good.

No, I've just known Margaret long enough. Besides, I've been threatening *cough*blackmailing*cough* to make those public for a loooooong time now.

Oh ha ha...very funny...it is to laugh.

I knew Steve would have my back!

Oh and Dokken Rocked!!! in case your all wondering.

The Gates of Hell just opened up and this mean war....yeah this means you Sophie....and of course my loving wife is going down hard!

Oh just so everyone knows I stopped perming my hair back in '88...that au'natural thank you very much

She wore that day a pretty print dress that I had seen on her once before, ample in the skirt, tight in the bodice, short-sleeved, pink, checkered with darker pink, and, to complete the color scheme, she had painted her lips and was holding in her hollowed hands a beautiful, banal, Eden-red apple. She was not shod, however, for church. And her white Sunday purse lay discarded near the phonograph.

Ha ha, yes you guys are very funny 'n all that.

What I find most disturbing about those photos is that in the past 12 years I don't appear to have changed all *that* much. I mean, I still pretty much look exactly the same. Thank god I grew out of all that awkwardness though cuz gangly and introverted would just never do in 2006.
