Photo complaints

Yesterday I cheated and just stole a picture off the internet, after searching for "birthday cake on face." Well, after being accused a racist for using a photo of an obviously Aryan baby, I hunted up this photo of me, which was no small task--do you KNOW how hard it is to get photos out of the National Archive's holdings? Evidently the photographer couldn't get me to smile, grin, or even show any happiness whatsoever. They finally contented themselves with snapping the photo the split second after pulling the pacifier from my mouth. I think it gives me that, "you've got to be frickin' KIDDING me" look that is so popular these days. It's evident that even at a few months old, I was already very advanced in my world-weariness and ennui.

Plus-- look at my fauxhawk then, it's almost identical to the one I'm sporting in my bio picture to the right! I have to content myself with that for the time being, since I'm probably going to have to move to a monk haircut with my genes.

Now I know what you look like with a little color! Did you just get more sun as a baby?

Cute picture. That is the Jeremy we first came to love. As to Jamie's remark, have you been doing a Michael Jackson on us? It does look a lot darker than you are now.

About the hair, maybe you could just get an oversized skull cap and everyone would just assume that you have converted to Judaism. :-) I know that you would never resort to a rug, at least I think you would never resort to one.

Ah, well, we still love you even if you are "half-haired"

If "doing a Michael Jackson" means being stuck in front of a computer for 8 hours a day and not seeing real sunlight except on tv and movies, then yes, I have been doing a Michael Jackson.

Seriously, do I really look darker in that picture?

I think you look EXACTLY the same!

Oh what do I know? I haven't seen you in what, 13 years?
