This is a picture of me and my boys, Tristin and KC. We've always got each other's backs, especially here at our Mardi Gras Dance (2003). I watch out for my boys, and they watch out for me...and I wouldn't trade them for any other guys out there...
Hear we are again being goofy at our friend's Graduation party as it was coming to a close...man we've had some great times. Ya'll're my boys!
OK, so maybe they're not so much OUR chicas, but they're part of our crew. (Clockwise) Marelya, Leslie, Kassie, Judith, and Sara are all really good friends of mine.
And this is my good friend Jodi with her current boyfriend Aaron, at her Prom (2003) dance at her school in Germany. Doesn't she look grand? Right now she's going to school in maryland...I believe...and Aaron is in the Navy. She's one of the sweetest, kindest, and coolest gamer chicks I've ever known. I've known her longer than just about anyone else on this page that isn't family.
On the left is Jessenda, who is the closest thing to a little sister I've ever had. I love her to death because she's such a goofball. The right is my friend Marissa who is also like a sister to me...she's "stellar".
Theses two are such cool kids...I've come to the conclusion that they are just female versions of K.C. and Myself. That's Rachel (who is going out with an old friend of mine from El Paso) and Lacee, whose last name is WHITE (coincidence? I think NOT!) They are just so fun to hang out with that I needed to put them in.
This is the 2003 Mile Relay Crew. The actual relay consisted of Gene, Daniel, Derek, and myself...gene wasn't originally running, but Jesus (far right) got injured, so Gene took up the challenge. We had a blast, and were all very pleased with the turnout. I wouldn't run it with anyone else, but my 2 brothers, and the other 2 (now "adopted") brothas...
Early November! These guys were the first act we saw when we got there...in fact, this picture is taken as we are approaching the stage area (that's why it's so far away). The fun was just begining!
This is a picture of Yellowcard before I went into the pits...the put on a great show and it got crazy fast. As you can see, the stages were huge, and it was raining like a b***h.
Taking Back Sunday was the last group we saw right before we left, and MAN was it a hell of a show. I enjoyed it beyond compare, even though they have a new lead singer and lead guitarist since last year...they still rocked my socks off...but wait, it gets better...
Now THIS was the trump of the day! New Found Glory put on the best show of the entire day, because they rocked, and Jordan got like RIGHT into the crowd (as you can see) which kicked major ass! OMG, it was intense...this is how close we were all day, but this was the only decent close picture we got. It was the greatest experience of my life!
This is a picture of my friend Marian and I, after Prom ('03) that she just kept begging me for...so I took it. She's a good friend of mine, and also part of the girl's crew. No, I wasn't there with her...for that matter I wasn't there with anyone...couldn't find a date, but Oh well...this next set of pictures is full of people WITH dates...
.
As our high school careers ended, some of us felt that it would only be necessary to end with parties. This is the party that (as shown much earlier) Tristin, KC, and I were messing around at; it's the party of our friend Maria, which was right after mine. She had a pool party for her friends...good stuff.
For any of you who are actually INTERESTED...here is a pic of me when I was a little kid...now, I know what you're thinking..."He must have started out as a studmuffin!"...well, you're right. I was a little bit of a playa when I was a kid too...we start so young, and grow up so quick.
They're all Art concept photos...stuff that I came up with off the top of my head. And NO I am not naked in any of them...
Self Consolance
This one is my FAVORITE, because it actually makes me look like I have muscle...lol. The Light was red and yellow, reflected from below. This was taken in November '02, the same day right before I cut off my long hair...
He Who Lives By The Sword...
This one was shot with a direct white light from above, so there are a LOT of shadows on my body. Then we hightened the brightness and contrast with the computer, and added a reflection and ripple effect. Then we drew the reflection around my (also with the computer) to make it look like real water, and pulled my waistline down (ALSO with the computer). The sword (as much as I wish it was) is not real...it's a wooden sword that I've had for quite some time.
