The Tims, they are a-changin’
A couple years ago I was cleaning the mountain of stuff piled on my desk at home when I happened to come across my old drivers licenses. At the time, there were only three licenses to consider, but now there’s a fourth.
All I can say is Wow.
Who is that fresh-faced stranger from 1994? I’m not sure I really know anymore.
Some things of note: Notice the much thinner face in 1994. I may actually have been a decent looking guy in 1997 without those awful glasses. Of course, I had those same specs in 1994, too. Notice also the long hair in 1997 which was chopped off that October. Also, notice the pendant cord in 1994 and 1997, from an obsidian pendant I used to wear all the time that I picked up on a high school history club trip in Salem, MA in April 1994. I’m not sure if I was still wearing it in 2001 or not, though I do still have it. The new picture is hard to make out very well, but it’s the first picture I’m wearing a collared shirt for, apparently. I also seem to favor black and red.
Maybe it’s time to go back to a longer hair style. Perhaps something a bit less computer geek and more rock-star.

1994 and 2005 are the cutest pictures, but in very different ways. 1997 and 2001 are slightly scary, again, in different ways.
Yes, you do favor black and red, usually on the same days I do. Stop doing that. Perhaps you should try yellow and orange.

Holy cow…those are VERY different pictures! I’m not sure I would have recognized you in the first one. The fact that it was on your blog, and that you specifically referred to it as your photograph, kinda tipped me off, though.
I can’t say the ponytail worked for you, but the first picture is adorable!

Empirical evidence proved that the ponytail in fact did not work for me.
The ghost of a memory of my former self says aw shucks. :)

You know, I had forgotten what you looked like in ‘94. :)
Hopefully the inverse is also true.

Scary, innit? We’re not getting older, we’re getting better damnit! :)

Hey Tim.
Just saw your post on my blog. Wanted to thank you for the support, but I couldn’t find your email address on this thing. I hope you’ll be listening this coming season. I’m certainly planning on having one of the more… interesting shows on WPRB.
By the way, 1994 and the current photo get my nod. 1994 for it’s Brat Pack-esque clean-facedness. The current picture for the striking John Travolta in Swordfish similiarities.
Much,
~Jon
