One, that shirt is fucking awesome. Looks like you've worn/washed it quite a few times.

Two, you never drove yourself around before now!?

The nerdguy shirt? That picture is actually the first time I had worn it.
I've only worn it out once ;)

I have yet to drive a car on my own yet. I've driven around when I've had my permits over the years, but never alone :Q

That nerd picture... definitely has some widespread internet LOL pic potential.

I don't know if it's that funny...
I wonder if I'll be able to keep it for vbulletin...

did you not care (lazy) or just lazy?

I haven't really needed it until now. Honestly I'm still not sure I really need it. After having gone this long without it, I don't feel that it's an essential part of life.

FYI I also don't own a cell phone.

I just passed my G level test today. I had 1 more month before my license was demoted to a G1 (can't drive by myself). I'm 21 but got my learner's permit the day after I turned 16 (birthday was on a Sunday).

A former coworker of mine used to have a replica of that car. I guess it would have been cool had I ever watched the show.

Well I was a mistake :p

My mom said I looked like a terrorist when she saw the picture.

When she saw the new one, she said I could be upgraded to the guy who drives the suicide bombing trucks :(

I'll assume that's a jab at me and how I'm perceived. Afterall, my AT Wiki has down "The definition of a geek." for some reason.

Thanks. I got a "gold key" from the Scholastic Art awards for that back in 1999 or 2000.
Now I've been reduced to designing lame t-shirts :p

Here's a little of my reality. Its as real as it gets for me . Understand this is a HUGH issue I have with myself. It changed how I lived toa degree.

One halloween After I was In deep shit with law . Already on probation. I was 19 I believe.

We did some tricken . Well it ended up being a big thing after people relized it could mean 5 years of my life. The Law came on heavey . I knew I was doomed. Because under oath I would self convict. But something strange happened . THE LAW screwed up.

When we went to pretrail, to plead . They read the charges. I was ready to plead guilty than it happened they read the charges . The times were all wrong . There were 2 seperate incidents that night . I was not at the second one, I had lots of reliable witnesses. When I heard the times I about pissed my pants. I knew I had an out . So I plead innocent . But the other guys involved like me were going to plead guilty also. Hearing me plead innocent they plead innocent . Which put me in hugh bind . As they were at second incident. They had NO witness. I couldn't tell them or I would go away. So I just kept to self built my own casewith witness. I won . Everone else lost. Judge was really pissed . None understood what happened but me. We were all asked under oath about a specific time . That was 2 hours off. Now all new it wasabout the first incident including self. I swore on BIBLE to tell whole trueth and nothing but trueth. I did that as did ever one else . I answered every question honestly. AS to Time period.

I know I didn't tell whole trueth and nothing but trueth because law gave me an out . By not asking correct question.

I been to court since but as a witness . I refused to take oath on bible. Got fined . But I didn't swear either! few days easy time

If I was judging myself here . It would go badly for self. I didn't lie , But I didn't tell whole trueth and nothing but trueth because I wasn't asked right questions.

But I knew. I have had to live with that. Its not as easy as one thinks if you believe in more than flesh . Its good for me GOD judges and not self. For he knows my heart and mind better than I will ever , Unless enlightened .Fat chance that happening, Thats just a glimse of what lies in my mind. Reality is what we make it . Its not pre definned.

You inpired me. I think there might be a movie in this, so I made a quick storyboard of the plot. Let me know if you're interested in fleshing out a whole screenplay.

Look how great this poster came out.

Who could resist going to see this after Halloween 2009?




Imagine how crazy this stuff would be if I had been on drugs :p

Wow, yoyo, that artwork is pretty damn good. I guess it's your talent, but that portrait is amazing for a 9th grade.

I voted #1, because unless you're a woman from south philly, I can't think of a reason why you wouldn't have a license until 25. People from that area will know what I'm talking about, but for some reason, a lot of women from south philly just don't get their licenses, sometimes ever. My buddy's mom still doesn't have one and she's over 50.

Everyone looked awkward when they were younger. Your body flooding itself with hormones will do that.
