Day 500 of 365 More. 500 days ago, I saw Stephen Poff’s Superman picture and it inspired me to start the 365 Days project. Back then i never knew that it would eventually change my life and the lives of so many others. I like to mark big milestones in this project with big posts…

Day 499 of 365 More. In this joyous holiday season I am reminded of one of my favorite carols. Please join me in singing along to that old classic by Mr. Nat King Cole. O Festivus Pole, O Festivus Pole, Your single beam delights us. O Festivus Pole, O Festivus Pole, Your single beam delights…

Day 498 of 365 More. Today is the fourth anniversary of the worst day of my life. I still miss you, ‘Lonzo. So it’s not a good day to start. But then it gets even worse. Got up early this morning to take my car in to get its annual emissions test. It goes smoothly.…

Day 497 of 365 More. Today was Max’s birthday. Tomorrow is Jameel’s birthday. I learned when I was like 4 that sometimes when your birthdays are close with someone else’s (my cousin’s birthday is 2 days before mine), you have to share parties. That’s what happened for Jameel and Max today. First, after work we…

Day 496 of 365 More. Got my car back and went to work. These last several days of not really sleeping are starting to catch up to me. I was ass tired all day. Hopefully I’ll get a good night’s sleep tonight because tomorrow I make my return to Baraoke! Tonight, was the beginning of…

Day 495 of 365 More. Well, that got your attention didn’t it? More on that later. So, at long last I’ve finished the coffee table book of the first year of 365 Days. Talk about a labor of love. There’s not just the straight year of self-portraits, editing the book was a bitch and a…

Day 494 of 365 More. I often say I don’t sleep. That’s not really true. I just sleep very very little. My normal amount is 4-5 hours or so a night. Last night I got about 3, give or take. The difference between 3 and 4 hours of sleep in immense. I aim to fix…

Day 493 of 365 More. You know, I thought yesterday’s pic was pretty good, but I guess no one else did. It’s now after 4:15 in the morning. I’ve been up all night working on Christmas presents, and I’m STILL not done with shopping. ARGH! I took this pic shortly before midnight. I had something…

Day 492 of 365 More. Do you remember when the Steelers were a good football team? At this point, only vaguely. *sigh* After the game I had a shopping date with one of my models and got some more Christmas shopping done. Then I came home and did some photoeditting while watching the season finale…

Day 491 of 365 More. First of all, Happy Birthday to my little brother Marcus. Went looking through my basement for the extension cable to the lights for my christmas tree. Still no luck. But I did find something cool. My black Santa hat. I bought it a couple years ago when I saw it…

Day 490 of 365 More. It’s not quite a partridge and a pear tree, but today is the first day of the 12 days of Christmas. Steph and I started the celebration by going out and doing some shopping after work, and then coming home and putting together our tiny little Christmas tree. Seeing as…

Day 489 of 365 More. Art is pain. Sometimes it’s psychological pain. Sometimes its emotional pain. Sometimes its spiritual pain. Sometimes its physical pain. Today, its physical pain. Did my first photoshoot in several weeks tonight. It went quite well, but towards the end, I burned my thumb while adjusting the lights. There’s a blister…

Day 488 of 365 More. I put a lot of stock in the fact that I don’t have to dress up for work every day. I could be making more money than I’m making right now, but that would be at places where I can’t wear jeans and t-shirts to work. Being able to dress…

Day 487 of 365 More. Picture of an addict in action. I’ve actually been trying to quit smoking for a while. Kind of passively trying anyway. A pack of cigarettes lasts me a few days. I generally get by on 5 or 6 a day. Today I had four. Mostly because that’s all I had…

Day 486 of 365 More. Ever wonder how I grew up to be so big and strong? It’s because I take my vitamins everyday. Combine this with the Charles Atlas workout and one day I’ll be kicking sand in bullies faces. Just imagine if I could drink milk. 10 Million Strong…. and growing… 365 days
