Part Two of The Fine Line Between Pictures and Mental Pictures. The other one is getting soo long.

Wouldn't it be funny if it died down now? Last time after awhile it just gets boring and people stop for awhile.

The thing I don't get is why do people who look like they should be acting or even modeling waste the time and talent to write? If I looked like Tom Cruise or even that crooked nosed Owen Wilson I wouldn't be here. Since I don't well here I am.

Wes, where's your pic???? What gives?!  ;D

Wes, in your last comment, who are you referring to??
Maybe some people here that are good looking like writing better than modeling.

Who here thinks I should post an actual picture of myself? Not a teaser like last time, but an actual picture.

I'm just saying, the people I've come across these last years seem to be too good to be just writers. Modeling is a job best suited for the ones who have very big egos and think they are everything to everyone. But acting is a gig for anyone who looks the part.

I think certain people should do both, write and act. You don't see the writer for the most part and in my case that's a good thing.

I don't know about posting pictures of myself.

I decided to transfer this pic into this new thread.

BTW, how old do I look, just curious.  8)
Posted by: Antemasque, April 20th, 2005, 5:25pm; Reply: 15
18 would be my guess

I'd guess 16. Guess how I guessed?  ;D
Posted by: AsianBoyToy (Guest), April 20th, 2005, 5:41pm; Reply: 17
It says 16 on his profile, but at first glance, I thought you could go over 21.
But, you cant really tell, cause we can't see your face
Posted by: Chris_MacGuffin, April 20th, 2005, 5:41pm; Reply: 18
I actually get that alot.  ;D Most people ask if I'm a senior or either a junior, you know.

BTW, let's see some more headshots...

ABT, how old are you I thought you said 13, but judging by your picture I find that hard to beleive, you know.

Hmmm... strange, I guess my school starts a little later, you know. I'm only a sophmore, but I looked at your profile and said it you were born in November, and I was born in September, so I dunno.

Oh my mistake ABT, I guess you look about 22 or so.

So let's see some more headshots, you know. We have yet to see a picture of the Goose, Bruce, Jason Bryam, Balt, Casey, Pardoxical Shaman, Heretic, and others...

U don't wanna see a pic of me... I'm 8ft 2 and have a hunch back and have giant boils all about my face and neck. I'm not a pretty sight to be hold.

However, if A man says to you everything I say to you is a lie, would he be lying to you or telling you the truth?  A riddle, yes.

In all serious manner here though... I don't know how to upload a pic or I would... I'm 6ft 2 -- Brown hair, Brown eyes, goatee, 210 lbs at the moment, but this is gonna change in the next 4 weeks to 225 maybe 230 dare I say???  

I'll upload a pic 4 ya if I found out how... ;)

Balt,

You need a website which hosts photos for you. Like photobucket.com etc.

Then you'll have a html page with the photo and then you paste the link to it here and add [img]link here[/img] either side of it.

If you want me to upload a photo, I can, just say.

What other types of threads should we start in here? This is getting to know you and well this seems to be the only thread. People are introducing themselves and all which is a good thing but maybe there should be more threads to get to know one another since that is what this is for.

So, If you think of something, start a separate thread and see where it goes. It can't hurt.

If you do make sure you get my good side... which side was my good side again? Do I have a good side still? Hmmm...?

No, if you want, yeah... do so... But let me pic the pic k?  I like the one with me on the fountain looking towards and the one in Victoria too... I dunno, tough stuff and I know it's getting rough.

Take care and don't be so down and gloom... Smile or look happy it's the end of the world ;)

Okay ...

Here I am ...

You can see my face at:

http://www.geocities.com/radiomovie2002/photo/Alan.jpg

I think I had the flu when I took that picture.  My hair's not right, and neither is my shirt ...

... but I assure you that I can wear a tuxedo with style.

And when I wear sunglasses, I'm ... protecting my eyes from UV rays.

-----------

Here's a pic I took of the Broadway Bridge in Saskatoon at wintertime.  The picture is taken from the east-side of the city, with the camera pointed towards the west-side of the city.  Directly behind me when I took this picture, are huge, rich houses.  

http://www.geocities.com/radiomovie2002/photo/squirrel/1372852_4510002_0.jpg

------------

Here's another picture of Saskatoon's skyline, taken on that same winter day.  It was after a performance of Rocket Squirrel, a play I was in.

http://www.geocities.com/radiomovie2002/photo/squirrel/1372866_4510057_0.jpg

-------------

Here's I am with the rest of the cast of Rocket Squirrel. We're not in our costumes.  It was a children's play, and I played the bad guy, so I was the oldest member of the cast.  I was 23.  Everyone else was 14-to-17.  The age difference didn't stop me from becoming part of that clique.  I now yap with some of them, in MSN IM, regularly.  One day, we will be among the Canadian actors who run Hollywood!

http://www.geocities.com/radiomovie2002/photo/squirrel/cast.jpg

---------------

Here I am in my ... well, it's almost a costume from that play  ... just hangin' with my crew backstage.  I say "my crew" because I played an evil starship captain, and those two girls -- both named Alyssa in real life -- were my crew.

This is the room where all the costumes were kept, and Alyssa -- who turned eighteen a few months after this picture was taken -- is wearing bunny-ears which I don't think we ever used in the play.  But I really don't know if we used those ears or not, because I was always so focused on doing an amazing job with my role that I didn't even know everybody's real names until a couple weeks before the first performance.

http://www.geocities.com/radiomovie2002/photo/squirrel/imperialcrew.jpg

--------------------

This head-shot was taken in the spur of the moment.  I wasn't prepared.  My hair wasn't combed.  I was sweaty. My face -- especially under my chin -- looks fat at this angle.

Whites aren't the majority anymore, there are more Mexicans in America than Caucasians. There are more females than males nowadays which means dudes are now outnumbered by women and girls.

I'm a generic white guy, Balt kinda looks like a professional athelete or an actor.

Ha! Well... thanks Wes, really... Actor hmmm?? Nah, not good looking enough and athelete? I work out, run and do a little boxing, that's about the extint of it. I can't hit a baseball, throw a football and I can't jump high enough to dunk so I'm pretty much assed out on them fronts... I can play some mean golf though ;)

It took me forever to get these pics, but my friend finally uploaded them onto my computer (I lack my own camera).  Both of these are from a party where... going's on were going's on if you catch my drift.





These where the only two and I like the second one better just because it reminds me of "A Clockwork Orange."  But trust me, I do not think I am nearly as creepy as that pic may lead your to believe.

It was intended to be a much nicer picture, but something happened when I took the shot, and my computer monitor reflected off of my glasses.  That's why if you look really, really close, you can see that the blue light is made up of little Quagmire heads.

Here are two new images that I am posting now that I am no longer under the influence of... "tiredom."





The first is my awesome Batman hat.  The second is me teary-eyed while watching "Batman Begins" at two in the morning.  My cousin took the picture.  I would like to say that I am teary-eyed because of how late it was... actually, I was half-crying over the movie.  Pathetic, no?  And though it is just a coincidence, people say I look like Jonathan Crane (a.k.a.: Scarecrow) but not the actor, Cillian Murphy.  Strange...
