Day 158 of 365 days. As I’ve said before, I never really considered how big this whole 365 Days thing would get when I started it. At this very moment there are 2,562 members in a group that I never honestly thought would have 30. I have no way of checking for sure, but by…

Day 157 of 365 days. I did another photoshoot today. This time with my friend Nicki. I guess I could have done the same thing I did with Vanessa and Lisa and photographed myself photographing them, but I actually thought it might be nice to show "where the magic happens" for once. So this is…

Day 156 of 365 days. Ever since I started this project, I’ve been wondering how I was going to get a good picture of myself in a wrestling ring. I never really thought I could get a truly excellent shot, but wrestling is a big enough part of my life that I wanted to get…

Day 155 of 365 days. People keep saying they want to see more of my exciting life as a pro-wrestler. The problem is that most of it isn’t really all that exciting. And of the part that is really exciting, I haven’t found a way to take a great self-portrait while doing it yet. So…

Day 154 of 365 days. Weird thing about the way we treat ourselves. I’ve been trying really hard to whip myself into shape. If I made a New Year’s resolution that’s probably it. I’ve been working out every day, trying to dump about 13 pounds (I’m down 8 since Jan. 1). I’ve also sort of…

Day 153 of 365 days. Another day, another job interview. Sometimes I feel like I work harder when I’m not working than I do when I am. It went ok, I guess, but at the end of the day, its just another contract job, and if I get it and take it, I’ll just be…

Day 152 of 365 days. So as I’ve stated, I’ve been dealing with constant job interviews and recruiter calls. I’ve been so distracted with them that I hadn’t even gotten to my traditional FUNemployment (what my friends call unemployment) ritual. Usually, the first official day of my unemployment I spend sitting back, relaxing and having…

Day 151 of 365 days. What was that I said about moving on to other styles of pictures? I actually really did intend to do something different today. I didn’t have a great idea or anything. I was just going to take one of those day in the life shots that I haven’t done in…

Day 150 of 365 days. 150 days and still going strong. And they said I was crazy. Ok, maybe they didn’t say I was crazy, but when I started this, I certainly thought it was crazy. And like I said before, now I look forward to it every day. 215 days to go, and it’ll…

Day 149 of 365 days. This may be my favorite outfit ever. Why? Because most people probably don’t realize that Osh Kosh Bgosh makes grown-up sized overalls. Well they do, and they’re damned comfortable too. I had a conversation recently about why grown up women are sexy when they dress like little girls. (school girl…

Day 148 of 365 days. I love that modern video games allow people to make themselves and put them in the game. Today, Steph and I went over to Mike and Jill’s house and played the new version of Karaoke Revolution, American Idol. While I don’t think my karaoke video character looks as good as…

Day 147 of 365 days. We interrupt this project for a special public service announcement. Hi, my name is Christopher Maverick. I’m here to talk to you about a very serious problem plaguing this nation. Midget on midget crime. The leading killer amongst men stricken with dwarfism in this country are other men stricken with…

Day 146 of 365 days. Spent this afternoon with my very lovely friend Vanessa doing a photoshoot. There’s a funny thing about doing a photoshoot with a pretty girl. Every girl ever has problems believing they are actually attractive. Even women who know they’re attractive have problems believing it. So after a few years photographing…

Day 145 of 365 days. When I first started this project I had very real concerns as to whether or not I’d be able to hit every single day for a year. I was very much afraid that I would conk out and just stop caring after a week. Now, 145 days in, taking a…

Day 144 of 365 days. Long, long ago, before the TV show My Name is Earl ever came out I learned to believe in Karma. Or as I’ve always called it, the Karma Tornado (from an old Tick comic book). The base theory is basically that if I just kinda zen my way through life…
