Day 129 of 365 days. I had to make a CD of some of my design work for a job I applied for. They want to do a portfolio review. I was hoping to get a clearer reflection of myself in the CD but oh well. Like I said, I’m trying to be a little…

Day 128 of 365 days. (This is sort of an unintentional copycat of sorts of Sick Little Monkey’s pic from yesterday. I ‘ve had the idea to do it for a few days now, but I had more time sensitive pics the last couple days. Originally this was planned to be the shot from the…

Day 127 of 365 days. Hello there ladies. Let me ask you some important questions? Are you dating me? Have you ever dated me? Do you plan on dating sometime in the near future? If the answer to any of those questions is no, then you are totally missing out. Why? Because I am the…

Day 126 of 365 days. Merry Christmas to me! To paraphrase the great poet and philosopher Eric Cartman, "I have a PS3. Who wants to touch me?" I went to Electronics Boutique to buy a birthday present for a friend of mine today. While there, I happened to get into a conversation with the salesman…

Day 125 of 365 days. And its backup picture day. I didn’t have much in mind today and I had that Christmas party today. Lots of rowdy wrestler goodness and I got a book in the gift exchange. I was too lazy to take any pictures during the party however, so today’s picture is one…

Day 124 of 365 days. And its officially the Christmas season. I’ve actually been doing my gift shopping for weeks now, but today I wrapped my first present. Tomorrow is the IWC Christmas party when I will do a gift exchange with some of my wrestling friends. I suppose when I get my first present…

Day 123 of 365 days. This is actually something I wanted to do for a while. Kind of an abstracted self portrait. Actually its just a macro of my skin. I hadn’t been able to really get it before because I couldn’t get my hand far enough away from the 300mm lens to focus on…

Day 122 of 365 days. Yep, I’m definitely getting sick. Oh well. Today marks the completion of one third of this project. I wanted to mark it with something dynamic. I actually came up with this idea a couple days ago, but wanted to save it til today to mark the occasion. I’m glad I…

Day 121 of 365 days. Back to basics. I haven’t done a good sitting in shadows picture in a couple weeks, so I decided it was about time. Actually I decided yesterday, but I didn’t have the time to devote to it til today. It started out being a pretty good day, actually. Slept in,…

Day 120 of 365 days. Had a wrestling show today at IWC, my "home company." I had previously shown a shot of my stable in BDW (the other company I work for), Afirmative Action. Well pictured here is my new stable in IWC, Sexual Harassment. Tonight, being the dastardly heel that I am, I turned…

Day 119 of 365 days. Today after work, Steph and I went to a going away party for a couple we know. It was an evening of fun where we discussed politics and books and college and football and tv shows. Had a great time with old friends and some that I didn’t even know.…

Day 118 of 365 days. (Stephen and Jack, this is another one you might enjoy) One might be able to gather from several other pictures in this project that I am a comic book fan. Even if I weren’t a comic book fan, I would hope that I would still have had the foresight in…

Day 117 of 365 days. So one of the about a billion things that has had me stressed and tired out lately has been reading. I’ve been reading gender studies books in preparation for a paper I have to write and present at a conference in April. I’m actually pretty excited about the paper. It’ll…

on my exploratory committee…

12-5-06 Originally uploaded by chrismaverick. So I’ve mentioned several times in the past that people should consider me automatically running for any unopposed offices. I always write myself in. But this weekend at dinner sui66iy and others started asking me why I don’t run for mayor next year. You see, there’s going to be a…

Day 116 of 365 days. So a little backstory. For the last few years, I’ve had this thing where I refuse to vote for any unopposed candidate, instead voting for myself. I urge others to do the same. A few months back, Pittsburgh’s mayor died and he was succeeded by the President of City Council,…
