I decided to be born in the wee hours of May 7. The doctors had scheduled my birth for May 9, but one of my key characteristics is that I'm not good at taking orders.
I stormed through kindergarten leaving behind teary, crying children whose sandwiches I had "spiced" with sand or caterpillars, or whose toys I had torn to pieces. I continued the practice in school, only this time I had more raw materials - fountain pens, books, notebooks, chalk, etc. Marvelously enough, none of my crimes against classmates were ever proven, and I managed to graduate with an impeccable record of good behavior.
High school was rather dull - my classmates were either too goody-goody or downright nerds to deserve any special treatment from me. College was more fun, and I still remember fondly all the martinizing I did with my colleagues over a pint of cheap rum in the cold winter days, while a few chosen victims were attending the classes to provide us with reading materials.
After college... life began, and it's not been particularly nice to me. But hey, I can still kick back every once in a while, and boy, it's really, really fun.
For the rest, I leave all to the poor, especially my debts :).

Hello. I like the wavy hair, and the rest. The sepia tone had me going even father back in time, and then I yanked back that it is trick. Please emphasize the pic is recent.

The 1970s vibe is strong in this, and I love the postwork. The background is really quite nice. I don't see it so much as vingage 70s, but it's successful and works quite well because it is nicely abstract, and there IS the reference to 1970's style wallpaper that the postwork DOES recall, but I like the fact that it is more abstract. It makes the image ageless, if that makes sense. The sepia tones are marvelous, and I'm quite curious to see how this might look if you'd be interested in the shot in color, but with the contrast and intensity tweaked to look like a 1970s era Polaroid photo! Ah, but that's just me...I like to play around and doing that might be fun for you too. You do great self portraits and the sepia toning is perfect in this, in my opinion.

This is really nice, I see like early 40's not 70's but it is still a really nice job
