Cammo and i went to school together in our youth.
We went to the School for Special Magical Boys...
Kinda like an X-men school
but for those less fortunate...

Thanks for the OUTing,Ravers and Kiki!
I was having fun just being a spectator...
:lol:

Bring em on!

I'll try to find some Marine Corps era pix
when i was lean and svelte and streamlined...

  • (circa 1979) w/ my lil' sis (noelani): sold about $200 worth of butter-toffee-peanuts to get to YMCA-camp that summer + got my 1st smooch from a Y-counselor-wahine (ate tons o' Jolly Rancher Fire-Stix, never Orange ChapStick like the others)...

  • (circa 2008) kickin' it in Kona w/ my wife-wahine (Java Loa): visited some special tikis & honu amidst the clear-blue waters of Hawai'i...

(Does Jolly Rancher make a Mai-Tai-Stix?!?)

Okay, I had to get in on this too. If it wasn't for my oldest kid graduating from high school in a few weeks I'd have no clue all these years have gone by.

Here's me mid-eighties at Doggie Style + Chili Peppers gig in LA:

And, here's me almost 25 years later at our wedding:

Java Loa - Laura! Wow, you were such a hip chick! :wink: You still are! Times have changed our bodies but not our minds. We still wanna get out and have fun, think outside the box, and rail against the machine. ( I can't say "rage" cuz of that dam band).

And this is why my favorite saying is "I may be over the hill and scraping my way up the other side, but I'll be damned if I'm going down without a fight! Life is what you make it. Age is just a number. Damn, I hate my number right now! :lol:
Here it is almost 5:00 am, and I've already been up for a few hours.. How does that other saying go? Early to bed, early to rise, make a girl, healthy, wealthy and wise.. :lol: OK, so I changed it a we bit... Either way I'm going to have a good time, until my lights go out..

I will most likely regret this...

1975 - I can still hear my mother on the left of me there "what the f**k do you need a belt for when you paint your britches on dummy!"

Then 1978 - wild child at this point - I just get larger after this.

And finally today, with the advent of modern medicines, I have mellowed out a little.

Matt Reese posted on 06/02/2009

Alright, I actually used to be thin. The hair is kind of a Swans deal.

And now I am rather large (cuddly). Luckily I've still got some hair. I'm on the left with fellow Finknik Mike.

Well, did you guys ever consider the fact that cameras might not have been invented yet back then?

Personally, I like the then-and-now Ingrid.

Believe it or not, I have a picture of a young Ken Ruzic, in his pre-psychedelic drug days. Snapped a photo of it when I was at his shop a while back. I'll have to scrounge around and see if'n I can find it.

And Squid, you look pretty darn near the same! How'd you do that? Got a special portrait in the back of your closet that ages for you?
