When I'm procrastinating and avoiding trying to write I'll spend time on Flickr searching for strange photos. But I have to say that my friend Ranzino's always has awesome pictures. He's in "public relations", whatever that means. I think it means he's a greeter at Wal-Mart. That's public relations, right? Anyway, whatever it is he's doing these days, I think he should focus on the photography and make a living at it.
You should probably start here with his favorites and then work through the rest.
What I do is totally NOT like being a greeter at Wal-Mart.
There's too much dignity in being a SuperCenter sticker pusher to equate to what I'm currently doing. If I was glad-handing people in track suits while handing out shopping carts, at least then I could pretend I was a disabled veteran, or had achieved one of my life goals, reaching old age.
No, no, a more apt comparison would be me wearing a full-body Hot Dog costume standing out on the state highway holding up a sign advertising a "One Day Closeout Sale!" for the local Big Lots.
Can you tell one of my New Year's resolutions is to take compliments better? But seriously, that's very nice of you to say.
