new wrestling entry up…

there’s a new entry in my wrestling training diary (in character, of course) complete with a brand new picture of me where I look all dangerous and fierice and stuff instead of just tired the way I looked in my last picture. At least I like it a lot. So I’m looking for comments, is it a better picture than the one I am currently using as my wrestling icon here? I’m thinking about switching it.

    I suppose it’s not playing along to point out that the “mountain” was more of a hill, and the “hell of a work out” it required didn’t cause, you know, sweat to happen or anything like that.

    But yeah, the picture is a bit better. At least your head isn’t clipped by the frame.

        Oh, what I meant to say was:

        My god, how thin the air was, five hundred feet above sea level! When that fierce drizzle moved in, with us exposed on the rock face, I thought for sure we would have to resort to cannibalism to survive. Sheer desperation almost made me want to spend $1.29 per minute and use my cellphone to call for help. But fortunately our Sherpa guide Heather was able to navigate a safe path down the treacherous paved road. Judicious use of revitalizing mixed drinks prevented any long-term damage from exposure. But it was close… too close.

    i like the new picture better ’cause it doesn’t look like you just hurt your hand. also you look fierce, but cheerful. the one you’re using now looks kind of sullen. which can have its uses as well.

      yeah, I really think I like it better too… actually its older than all the other pictures, and I’m starting to feel like its much cooler, which makes me wonder why he wasn’t using it all along.

    I like the expression and the pose, but what’s that dangling from your crotch?

      ahem….

      actually, I believe its just the drawstring from my shorts…

        The photographer’s use of negative space draws the viewer’s eye to the crotch region. Which is usually a good thing. But there is an anomaly there. Which is nearly always a bad thing.

    p.s. they didn’t bold the “k” in “Sebastian Dark” in the second paragraph. i’ll assume that the grammatical errors in the penultimate and ultimate paragraphs are there to lend verisimilitude to your punk wrestler status.

      hehe… the grammatical errors are there because I wrote it at 3am this morning and didn’t even try. Usually the guy who posts them catches those, but he must have been in a hurry because its up now, and there are errors like that. I didn’t expect it to be up til like tonight or something. He must have just tossed it up there without paying much attention before he went to work. The bolded K missing is odd too…
