Service to my future self


I assume that some time in the far future I'll be branded a dork by my posterity. This picture is the first of many that were taken with the hope of countering this dark inevitability. If it's not cool, it's at least interesting enough to make them look at my past in a different light. I could tell them a number of fanciful tales-- that I won the regional downhill long-boarding championship three years in a row, that I was once homeless for a year, carrying with me only the clothes on my back and my trusty long-board, or that I had a girlfriend whose hopeless addiction to photography led to the giving of a wicked-awesome camera which led to the eventual taking of this picture. I could say all of this and it would be almost completely and 100% true, except for the last part, of course.

What ever. Just compare that picture to the musicians of the hippest bands of our time - that ought to shut up your kids.

I am personally very fond of that photo. It reminds me of my warm welcome back to Rexburg.
