Old Habits Die Hard


Author's Note: For those of you who may be wondering how a man this old and wretched can possibly take care of his 81-year-old mother, please be advised that I used several photo editing effects, including special real-time lighting, photo shop lighting effects and high contrast effects, just to make myself look a lot older and more hideous-looking than I really am. I did it just for fun, just for the hell of it, and to make people laugh and for no other reason. I hope it didn't make you hurl.

For instance, my hands look like they belong to ol' Nosferatu but I'm actually a lot healthier looking than this flash image suggests. I wanted to look hideous and two steps away from the morgue. I couldn't care less about how I look in a video or a Flash image as long as I look mildly to disturbingly entertaining. Just by being online one undergoes such an instant removal of one's dignity and privacy that human foibles like vanity and pride and human virtues like commonsense and modesty are not far behind when the casualties of cyber war are finally tallied.

So, that's right, I wanted to look awful in this post so it would appear that I'd been partying for two days instead of just using props for a couple of minutes. The visual result made me laugh like hell so I posted it here and on two other blogs. I always say "If you can't laugh at yourself, what the hell good are you?" Hope you got a kick out of this madcap bullshit and not a scary start. Thanks.
