IT’S ME LOOKEN’ AT YOU. No Really!

img_0790_2_3.jpg

Just me (now above). I never dress up like this, but to fit in for others sake at events.

and 20 so years ago around 35

JUST ME BUT

OK. (one exception down the page)

THIS IS MY CHANCE AND YOURS TO JUDGE MY SANITY

I MEAN WHO I MIGHT HAVE LOOKED LIKE OTHER THAN ME.

(A curious thing about the “actor” story, is that my fathers photo was seen by a very famous actress during WW-Two who saw him smiling out of a plane in a major newspapers photo of him, and had her agent send him an invite to come to Hollywood for a screen test. He never went, but my aunt (his sister) showed me the letter a few years ago. I had herd of the tale long before.)

(#Genetic background explaining appearance.)

Half Lithuanian, half Italian-French Canadian-(Abenaki indigenous peoples)

THE ODD COMPLIMENTS I HAVE HEARD ABOUT MY APPEARANCE.

FOR SOME REASON WHEN I WAS 11, A NINE YEAR OLD I KNEW SAID HE THINKS I COULD GROW UP TO BE A MOVIE STAR. MY MOTHER HAD JUST DIED WEEKS BEFORE, AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS AN OFF THE WALL BUT KINDA NICE THING TO HAVE BEEN SAID TO ME. I OFTEN THOUGHT I WAS UNUSUALLY STRANGE LOOKING, IN NOT A GOOD WAY AT TIMES.

AT 22 SOMEONE SAID; “DO YOU KNOW YOU LOOK LIKE THE LORD?” I THOUGHT; YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING, JUST A BEARD AND LONG HAIR DOES THAT TO MANY.

IN MY LATE 20’s, MY SISTER SAID IF I PUT ON A ROBE AND WALKED DOWN MICHIGAN AVENUE IN CHICAGO, TRAFFIC MIGHT STOP. HENCE THE LATER PHOTOS OF A TURIN NOT LIKELY TO BE MISTAKEN IMPOSTOR.

TOO NOT TURN in THIS INTO ANOTHER LONG EXPLANATION, MY OTHER HALF DOZEN OR SO MISTAKEN IMPRESSIONS PEOPLE HAD THAT I WAS ONE OR ANOTHER MOVIE STAR. AT THIS AGE HARD TO TELL? Hint; Clint Eastwood, Christopher Reeve (superman), “Eddies father”, Fabio, and I don’t remember who else.

THE REST ARE MY LAST CHANCE AT PRETENDING TO BE A “STAR”. AND MAYBE EXPLAIN WHY MY POSTED PHYSICAL FEATS OR RECORD TYING MIGHT MAKE SENSE. (on other pages all about my closest associate, me.)

AND NO. I HAVE NO PICTURES OF ME THAT ARE UP AROUND THE HOUSE, so I can keep an eye on myself. YOU CAN BE EMBARRASSED FOR ME IF YOU SO CHOOSE. I’M JUST HAVING FUN ON A BLOG OF ONE PERSONS JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE AND IMPRESSIONS GATHERED THEREFROM. THE PHYSICAL, LIKE IT OR NOT, IS ONE ASPECT OF ALL OUR LIVES. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME HERE.

I MIGHT BE ABLE TO PLAY COUSIN “IT” IN AN ADAMS FAMILY REUNION IN 2020.

Took these today.

If 60 is the new 40

just a few years away.

This is what all those years of trial and tribulation leave one as;

a 6′1″ 224 lb. withered old man. On my nephews site, all the young guys seem to have their shirts off. I am young at heart. Remember, 100 yrs. old is the new 50.

Oh! I am having fun with these! I love to experiment with the computers editing abilities and my imagination. A dangerous combination!

And I have a willing subject who models for free.

Now for the even weirder ones.

The Italian side of my family comes from just two places; Calabria region, and Turin.

Potential “cousin It” material. (The Adams Family, click, click.) My face is forward. I know you could tell.

YOU LOOKING AT ME?

WHO ME?


ENOUGH ALREADY

img_0728_2.jpg

I have tried everything to make me look OK

ending up with scrapes and bruises, and looks almost like a minor black eye above.

img_0815_2.jpg

an, fooled you, a 24 year old photo when I was a “farm manager”.


You should be tired of this by now!

It sure looks like I am!

One week of occasionally doing what is never done,

which is having my picture taken.

Here’s looking at you.

I can see you from 23 years ago.

No. I really can.

Photo taken from old photo today.

Come on folks. Let’s see who you are, or were, before it’s all over! You know, before you are frozen, compost or a dust ball.
