Over the past year, many of The Churning Loyalists have pointed out the fact that I rarely smile in pictures. Someone says “Say cheese,” and my expression says, “Fuck cheese. I’m drunk.” But the truth is - I’m only drunk like half the time. Here are a few examples:


JJ and Jimmy.

I swear I’m not drunk in this picture.

I made excuses last time, saying it’s because I don’t want to put on a fake smile. “Normal” people smile in pictures, and I just can’t bear to act normal. Then my mom sent me an email this week, proving I’ve always been like this. She attached a picture of me when I was just a little fella. Even as a kid, I couldn’t act normal in front of a camera:

I’m such a dork.
