The 30-Day Challenge: Day Eight

So, I've tossed around the idea of playing along with this facebook trend for sometime. But I've never really enjoyed following trends. However, my apparent narcissism keeps bringing me back to it.

That being said, I'm going to participate, but I'm going to do it here, instead of on facebook. (The goal is to satisfy my narcissism, as well as motivate me to start using my blog again.) Enjoy!



Day Eight - A picture that makes you laugh.

Had I planned ahead, I probably would have saved yesterday's photo for today. Instead, this classic from back in 2007. My brother Tim and the Concord Marching Band marched in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The trip turned into a "family vacation" for us, so I went along as a "chaperone". It was organised through a travel agency, so one of the NYC stops was at the New York Madame Tussauds wax museum. Tim and I decided we wanted to spice up the visit by taking more entertaining photos than the usual stand-and-pose-awkwardly.

There are quite a few gems from the afternoon. I'm throwing up gang signs with John Paul II; Tim and I play the two missing Spice Girls; Tim and I showing off our grillz with Hilary Clinton. (That reference is the greatest rap song ever written--"Grillz" by Nelly, if you didn't know). However, this photo is by far the greatest--the pose, the face--everything is perfect. There was an Indian family following Tim and I, laughing at us uncomfortably the whole time.
