What keeps me sane through the day.

So…tonight’s the night, and no, not when the teddy bears have their picknick… When I break away from this humdrum 9-5 working existence and fly to the stratosphere…or should I say Status-phere. Modeling people….Modeling

Soon, I’ll join the ranks of Mr. Page 255 (item C) in the Sears 2008 Fun in the sun catalogue. From there I could go on to grace the alternate images for a slightly bigger, but not as widespread parent company magazine. After that, I’ll get various offers to be in local leaflets and maybe a pamphlet or two, BUT by that time, I’ll have let the fame go to my head and have turned them all down as they will be beneath me, I’ll develop a pixie stick addiction, shower even less then I do now and finally grace the pages of the National enquirer as the poster boy for hemorrhoid medication. I should get an agent to bail me out of jail when the time comes….But really…I’ll probably just have new nice photos for avatars on my blogger page or a sexy Christmas card to send to my mom.….

So today, I want to share with you something of my everyday. The internet machine and the places I visit daily. These sites make me smile and laugh and when possible …think.
First…

Now as I am in the “biz”, I love looking at photoshoped work that people fuck up so badly that it’s gets posted to a whitty blog.

So what will it be today? Again, in this attempt to hone and re-develop my writing skills, I’ll try to add a snippet here about my daily comings and goings. I sit here with my Large double double, thinking, but not really being thoughtful of my goings on’s yesterday. I did what I do every day. The same ol humdrum existence of an IT worker….EXCITING.

I could start with me coming up with a new book I want to begin, but as it’s still in the conceptual stages, I’ll not share it just yet, (but really…who reads this.) I could also go into candid detail about trying to find a cool and useful commuter bag as I need a new one really bad, BUT there is very slim pickin’s here in the little burb that is Saint John.

But I’ll start here. My good friend Ivon sent me an email yesterday asking me if I’d be interested in …..are you sitting down and ready for a laugh?... good….. Modeling. I can’t even type that out without giggling. I mean…COME ON!!!!, I’m devastatingly handsome..BUT COME ON!!!! But the ting was he was serious. (he he) So the email read..

“I have a friend that needs a male model with a bit of an edge... tattoos and such..You up for it? ... he needs an image for his studio to balance out the images on his wall...Lets just say he has on too many women on the wall....
I was thinking a shot of you ... showing your back looking over your shoulder... B&W...Anyways... he is a wizard with photoshop....”


So after being flattered a little, I really gave it some thought… and you know how famous artists go through various stages in their creativity?” working with different mediums, styles, subject matter? Picaso and his blue period? Jackson Pollock and his “Action Painting” or Pierre-Auguste Renoir and his lengthy period of Impressionist style, (mind you that was his main style but it was as I had said…a lengthy period) Well I think the photographer is going through one of those periods.

I’m thinking that it is his fat period. He may call it “Fat with an edge”
BUT needless to say, it should be interesting. I’ve never modeled with a professional before (I know what you saying..”BUT jerm…you so handsome, you’ve got to be kidding us???” ) Well Im not. And I haven’t. It's a good thing as Ivon says "he's a wizard in photoshop". I'll get him to add muscles and remove flaws and add a bigger ....erm...wait...so yeah...where was I...

SO Yeah, I’ll keep you posted on how that turns out and hopefully this time next year I’ll be able to look back on the experience and say “I wish they hadn’t laughed so hard when I took off my shirt…”
