Fug, I turned 68 a month ago and seldom ever think back to when I was 28. By then I had an 8-year-old daughter who I didn't see often enough because she was living hundreds of miles away with my ex-wife, and my oldest son by my second wife was about a year old, and I was probably just starting to go fulltime to college, working in my spare time as a teaching assistant. Except for the kids and the fact my second wife hadn't yet developed into a nut case, life wasn't all that exciting then, living in student apartments on my wife's full-time salary, my part-time salary and the GI bill, plus student loans and an occasional scholarship. My biggest accomplishment at the time was making the Dean's list by maintaing an above 3-point average in my grades. My 20s-30s weren't all that exciting--I've had a lot better times since then, including in my 60s. Funny thing is I don't feel a bit different from when I was 17, although I've learned a hell of a lot over the years. Boy, if I could go back to then knowing what I know now, my first-ex-wife-to-be would catch hell and some of the other girls in our school would be writing about me in their diaries.

Chit, "growing old" is nothing! It's when you stop aging that's bad, because then you're dead.

Tried to add a dash of coolness to those ridiculous outfits by wearing RayBans? Not even Sergio Da Sex Martinez could look good in those outfits and he's the sexiest man alive.



Just look at that mug. Exquisite cheekbones. Can you believe this guy makes a living as a professional boxer? Crazy. *I am straight*

Seriously Matt, congrats on your graduating. Are you going to study some more or do you feel like it's time to start earning a living?

You're fabulous.

By the way, Congratulations to Matt (John McClane) on his graduation.

Thanks everyone. And no, I'm not going through anymore schooling. My alma mater has taught me well.

Wha? are they recent photos you have posted lately? I always thought you were like mid 20's.

I have been canoeing a lot on the Puget Sound a some various freshwater lakes. The outrigger in one photo is so I can fish out of it and not flip. I can't remember if I shared any of these, so my bad if it is a double post of one or two of the photos.

Good stuff, Matt.

You definitely look more cut around your waist. I see little or no change on your upper body though. If I might ask, what's your eating regime? What are your specific goals?

I could help out if you've got any questions regarding what to eat / what not to eat or regarding how you'd like to look eventually (big, lean, extremely cut...)
