NEWT!!!

SHAKING HANDS WITH THE ENEMY

Normally I would not shake hands with the enemy as I am in the picture.  However, in this case, you don't get these opportunities every day.  It just so happens that the drum major of the drum corps I was in had an uncle who was pretty high up in Washington.  You guessed it right....NEWT!  So, being the respectable uncle he is, he came to see his nephew perform.  In addition, he  recieved a swarm of people wanting pictures with him.  This included a great number of girls in sports bras shoving their breast in his face asking for a picture.  Rumor has it, some of these pictures are involved with his futute stepping down. Hehe

BAND SPRING TRIP 1998

Ahh! Spring trip to Tenn. my senior year of high school.  You can see here the pimp that I truely am.  Yes that is a smile on my face.  I'm smiling because I completed my first super eight film, documenting the trip.  Not to mention my encounter with the "Live Bait" vending machine.  My film includes hundreds of people waving and a rather interesting shot of my friend wearing a gas mask standing by an old abandoned house where there is posted a sign reading, "Danger Asbestous KEEP OUT!"

CHRISTMAS OF YEARS PAST

Here, above, are some shots of me (and oldest brother matt), during the hap..hap...happy season of the Yule.  Of course not yet drinkning my super-charged eggnog.  You can see me smiling or at least trying to.  Those were the days when I smiled with my heart when I smiled with my face.  I still do now, but only a lot less.
