Saying goodbye to dignity

I think I am only putting these images up because I am stunned by the shock and the horror of it all.

The first, from a company ID card circa 1992 or 1993 makes my look like one of those guys whose pictures show up all over the media following some shocking and horrific crime. I look like a bank robber from 1973.

What's with the hair? What's with the glasses?

After I found this and recovered somewhat, lifting myself slowly from the floor, I then found:

The student Bill.

Again ... what is with the glasses? This is 1984 and apparently there was a real concern that the eyes be shielded by glasses with lenses the size of front pane windows of medium to large size family homes.

I surprised the don't have vertical blinds.

And did I really look that young? I seem to be on the verge of puberty. I now I understand why it was so hard to get laid. Women were probably worried they'd be breaking the law!

I gotta lie down now. This is all very alarming.

  • My old roommate from college e-mailed me a pic from freshman year (1988) where I was sporting a Bosworth doo.

    You may have just given me the courage to post it.

  • BTW - That second pic looks like teh kid that threw the other guy out in front of the Suburban in Taking Lives.

  • Don't thinkI saw Taking Lives. I'll have to watch it.

    What's amazing is that at the time I probably thought I looked like an average schmo.
