One For All You Smileys
All my life I'm getting admonishments from those brave enough — like mom — to "smile." It's not a natural facial expression for me, folks, even when I'm plenty happy and content. Plus, my natural frown serves me well. People don't fuck with me, and they don't pester me. They tend to stand off and I've heard from others that I come off as "unapproachable." Suits me fine. The less banality I have to deal with, the better, I say.
So let me throw you a rare bone, taken just this week with my bro-in-law, Sam who's looking good into his 50s.

You know, my natural expression is pretty close to a frown. Especially when I'm thinking about something, people will ask me what I'm angry about.
I'm not angry, I just look like it.
I know this is a very old post but I tell you what – at least in the photo Sam looks like he is in his 30’s!
Still looks just as good. Just drove back back from Vegas with him today (to Vista, CA).
Amazing! How does he eat?
Not great, but he has always worked out regularly and mostly weights.
