Photo Op
1-26-12

Today, I paid 40 damned dollars for a pen pal site, and what do I put in for a photo? A ridiculous pose and profile with a Billy Idol sneer. Why do this? Because I realize that prison photos are stupid.

After years of trying to get the perfect pose, realization dawns that no one can take a photo without looking "hard" or "down". Been here, tried that. I looked either bored or constipated.

So why not take pictures purposefully dumb? Our people in the free zone get it. We're in prison, so what? Get the stick out and have some fun. Here's my newest "rought" pose. Now I look angry and constipated.

If I was being serious, no one would take this seriously. Yes, I know how dumb it sounds.

That's it for now...
