Growing Up!
1981 - Okay so I was a top-button-fastened kind of guy, what of it? It was more about the red, white and blue collar for me. I was very patriotic! Seriously though look at those big blue alien eyes, I mean I really do LOOK like an alien.
1982 - When in Rome, do as the Romans do. These shirts were all the rage in the early 80's…in West Africa. Dude I was a mack, and I had the messy hair look going. I'm telling you I was a pi-o-neer.
1986 - And then I moved to the United States. Whoopsy, I got a hold of a few too many Big Macs. No really that's just baby fat. But take a look at the dimples, they were beginning to take shape.
1987 - Shut up. I know what you're thinking. Let me just say this though, using hair mousse was cool back then. And those shirts, those big, poofy, striped polo shirts were as well. I thought the blue brought out the color in my eyes. Shut up.
1988 - I enter the 9th grade. I slimmed down some cause I had gotten a weight set for Christmas. Too bad my lips didn't slim down as well. Seriously, they look disproportionate to the rest of my face in this picture.
1989 - And the hair helmet begins. I don't know what to say, they were crazy times, I had no sense of hairstyle. And I just couldn't get away from those striped polo shirts. At least I remembered what color brought out my eyes.
1990 - Okay, it was a tough year, I was growing. I know I look like a mongoloid, my eyes, oh my god, look at my eyebrows! What the f***?! Holy s***, my hair…I…I…no comment.
1991 - Look at Mr. GQ Smooth. Yeah that's right, I finally got it together. And yes, that IS a mullet. It was the style then and I had finally found a little bit of hairstyle. God I hate these pictures so much, but I love self-deprecating humor.
