International Internet Reveal Your Horrid Teenage Years Picture Day

This was Helen's idea.  Blame her.

Personally, I thought that every day was International Internet Reveal Your Horrid Teenage Years Picture Day due to the advent of Facebook.  That's where I've reconnected with many of my old high school chums, several of whom have been gleefully posting old pictures.

This was the first one to appear on Facebook-

This picture thoroughly embarrasses me.  I mean,  I'm wearing a Seals & Crofts T-shirt fer chrissakes!. 

I cannot for the life of me imagine why I was wearing it.  I don't remember owning it, yet there it is.  I'm probably 13 or 14 in this picture so I was definitely smoking lots of pot at this point. 

But that's no excuse.

These next two were most likely taken around the same time.  Even then, I liked wearing baseball caps and I had quite a lot of them.  Much to the chagrin of my wife, I still do.

I really have to say that the dorky hat notwithstanding, I was not the ugly dweeb I always thought I was.  This guy should have gotten laid a lot more than he actually did.

Maybe it was the hair.  Believe it or not, my hair was often much longer than this.  The only time I got it cut was for a play.  The rest of the time it grew wildly.

So that's my entry for International Internet Reveal Your Horrid Teenage Years Picture Day. 

Guess I had it better than I thought, eh?

~Easy

PS: I just thought of someone else to blame, at least for mine.  Kristine didn't do an SPF for today. 

So I'm declaring this the SPF theme for this week. Kristine is welcome to file suit if she wants to.

Did you play?
