I was watching it last night.  Thought about it, but theres so much training to do.  I'm 28 and by the time I get some good training I would be 35.  I mean some good training.

Well I'm not headed for Mars but actually to bed with my sleep mask. Surprisingly after getting use to it my work on the layout increased dramatically.

When things are going wrong I look at this picture.

The forums have meant a lot to me.

Thanks,

This is my other hobby I pursue in warmer seasons
1946 Ercoupe undergoing restoration.

   The yellow "get to the LHS fast and spend the last of my hobby money mobile" and my trusty copilot, seems he's always "gawking" out the window and mumbling something about finding the "Great Pumpkin"! LOL!
He's not really into model trains, so he stays at the airport year around.

Actually need a new picture taken, these were taken when I was 30 pounds heavier than I am now.

Charlie, I could be wrong, but your code doesn't seem to indicate a particular photo, only what may be your account #.  Also, you must place [/img] at the end of the URL for the server to recognize its end.

This is me with my daughter at a friends wedding. Were both sad because they decided against a Train theme.

I was kinda *** when my man Karo Parisian got robbed during Fight Night Live on Wednesday. That wasn't even a good knee that dropped him, yet the ref felt the need to stop it. Karo wasn't even out! You see how angery he got afterwards? Whoooooo...

Aggro, are you a personal friend of K.P.? Never met the guy, but he strikes me as a hot head, so didn't care that he lost (although a longer fight would have been preferable).

Robby, at 28, if you aren't already wiping out everyone (outside the UFC), then it would be tough to attain the level needed to succeed in the UFC, which you already know. Gotta say, I'm impressed with how far this sport has come since the early days. No more being a Master of just one style, unless you want to get your a-kicked. Some *** good fighters at the top, no doubt.

Naaaa my wife calls that the "Train-bliss" look, she says every Model Railroader looks like that when they are around the things. :D

Let's not jump to some hasty conclusion.  Even it is, he's done nothing wrong by trying to post an pic and participate in this thread.

Thanks JK I was bored today.  Anyway dont worry it will be deleted in due time.  I am more than positive someone hit report abuse or whatever.  It wont last for sure.  Its funny that i am the ONLY brotha in this.  And I am banned from this forum.  I grew up in a totally different lifestyle than everyone here but I am looked at as the bad guy.  If I was on a rap or hip hop forum I would fit in and be accepted for being me.  Here though, Some of these guys hate me to death.  Not that i really care though.  I like JK and a few other guys that are laid back and do not mind me being me.  Take care!  peace
