Lets get this Sausage Fest started... here is one of me...

You remind me of the guy on Sons of Anarchy who's wife got killed. Donna I think her name was. I can't recall his name right now, but he's one of my favorite characters.

i'll play along...

but, i saw earlier in the thread someone asked whether we should post old pictures or new.... i'm just gonna go ahead and post my life story, so you understand me better as a person.

i started off handsome enough, even at this young age, it was obvious that women would love me. i had the perfect dimples, and just the right amount of hair on my head. i didn't really talk much, but i'm heard stories that i only need bat my eyes and grin, and the ladies would swoon. my uncle used to take me to the beach wit him in san diego. he would point out a women, and set me loose. i would walk over and kick sand on them. my uncle would come scoop me up and be the apologetic single dad. and set up a date for that night :lol:

by third grade, i had my first girlfriend. oh yeah. angie cupp. the cutest blonde in the whole third grade. we were boyfriend and girlfriend forever.. almost two whole weeks. i think we even held hands once at recess. but, alas, it wasn't meant to be. she dumped me for michael price because HE had a superheros lunchbox WITH a thermos. but, he didn't have this awesome head of hair nor this sweet vest.

by 6th grade we were living in florida. ohio just didn't offer enough sun for me. my life force depended on the suns rays on as much of my body as possible. my arms, my legs, my.. belly????? i only wish i had discovered the wonders of baldness back then. i was quite the yo-yo-er i might add.

320702_10150432298624188_512959187_10467825_628623005_n by jaythomson, on Flickr

by high school i was the cool kid on the block. back in ohio, i brought florida charm with me. my hair was a long braid down my back, my mustache was meticulously trimmed, and the chicks loved me. too bad they all had to wait. i was the lover boy that dated the same girl from 8th grade till i graduated and even after i went off to war. ahhh yes, april, my high school sweetheart.

after an incident in high school in which the star was my fist, and the co-star was billy nose, the cleveland institute of art revoked my full scholarship. so i joined the army. basic, ait, and i was headed off to the sandbox. it was during my time in the land of machboos, april, that high school sweetheart of mine decided to cheat on me and send me a dear jay letter. i smile every night when i go to sleep, as i like to think there is a special place in hell reserved just for her.

war made me tired. so when i came home i took a very long nap.

10319_184030169187_512959187_3868914_7192371_n by jaythomson, on Flickr

when i awoke, i wasn't sure who i was. all my friends had grown old. some had died. i got fat. i had a major identity crisis. for a short time i even thought i was a pregnant hooker.

but then i snapped out of it and remembered that i was actually the greatest single dad in the world !!!!! and i have the coffee cup to prove it !!!

248620_10150255780639188_512959187_8983712_3702621_n by jaythomson, on Flickr

then one day the family and i went on a soul searching trip to the Dominican republic. it was on this journey that we found my long lost father. turns out, i'm not french & indian after all. i'm iranian ?? my daughter was so happy to meet the grandfather she never knew she had.

10319_184022989187_512959187_3868900_7572525_n by jaythomson, on Flickr

eventually i found my true love.. la playa y santo libre. a beach, and a glass filled with some ice cold sprite and rum is all it takes to keep this old dog happy these days.

so now a days, if i'm not trapped in my shop in ohio printing t shirts for a customer, i am on the beach in the DR, or up in the mountains, but wherever i am, you can be sure that Diosiris, the love of my life is there with me. it's only been two years and we have already been together for longer than my first two marriages combined !! :lol:

but, even when it's over, i will still be the happy go lucky, wise old fun guy that i always have been..... especially if i've got a santo libre in my hand.

I did too, but wondered what happened to commitment.

naptime · Jan 4, 2012

my only commitment now is to living my life in a way that makes me happy. and keeps a safe, happy, encouraging environment for my daughter.

Did you seriously just randomly bump into the Iron Sheik in the Dominican?

worse. we bumped into him at the atlanta airport on our way down.

i spotted him right away, so i said let's go get your picture with him.

we went over and shook his hand and i told him i was a big fan in the 80's.

when i asked if i could take asia's picture with him, he said "sure, but do you have $10.00?"

i was floored. but, i wanted her to have this.. so i paid him 10 bucks, and we took a few pictures.

then i asked if she could have an autograph. he said sure,and reached into his bag and pulled out a PRE-SIGNED photo of him with a camel from back in the day. then wrote "to asia". as he handed it to me, he asked for another $10 for the autographed picture !!!

talked to him a few minutes. he was on his way to some wrestling event somewhere. said this is how he makes his living. autographs and pictures in airports and at small time wrestling events.

when i look back on it now, it's just like the character in "The Wrestler" with micky rourke

we randomly ran into mohammad ali in a hotel in louissville back in 06. we were coming out of the elevator, he was coming in. he was standing RIGHT in front of the door when it opened. she literally ran right into him as she went to run out. headbutt to his stomach lol

he let us take a picture of her "punching" him in the face, and he had his head jerked back from the blow.

i'll have to see if i can find what drive it's on.

That's an awesome story! Before I got to your mention of the movie The Wrestler, that's exactly what I was thinking. Crazy way to make a living late in life.
