Me as a simpson

[martincisneros]

Have you ever wondered what I would look like as a character on The Simpsons?  Never? Not even once?
            D'oh!  Well, anyway, I would look like this:

This was the site that did it:

I could definitely never be a woman.  I'm unquestionably cuter as a guy in the link of the opening post of this thread.  This reminds me of The Rocky Horror Picture Show:

You seem to have lost quite a bit of weight as a Simpson!

LOL!  The picture that I normally use online is from July 31, 2005.  I fasted most of 2006 and 2007 because one life was ending and another was beginning.  And when that picture was taken, it was after 41 days of virtually no sleep because of an exorcism that sorta got tossed in my lap while I was innocently minding my own business.  So, I was both heavier and on the puffy side because of what I'd been going through.  I haven't cared too much about a newer picture.  75% of how you're judged online is on what you say anyway.  Larger versions of that picture really bring out the puffiness, especially around the eyes and that I was teetering on being totally dead on my feet.  But the picture commemorates a tremendous victory in my life for that summer with a family member and up until then it was one of the better pictures that I'd taken.  Or perhaps I'm more aware of the anointing that was on me at the time to where I more readily appreciate it more because I know the story of what lead up to that picture. 

My official photographer died, I'm thinking around '04.  Sounds pretty bad to not be 100% sure of when he died, but I've lived more lifetimes over the last 5 years than some whole geneologies have lived with all that's gone on.  There are folks that I could ask.  And I've wanted to wait until I found another photographer that's as good or better.  The picture I use online is a walmart picture.  I've had a couple of photographers take one look at it and say "no wonder! bleh!!"  But I genuinely don't think it's all that bad.  If I had his password to his tripod account, I'd pay to reactivate his website and do a [written] tribute to the photographer that I knew http://richardcoffman.tripod.com He was in Fort Worth with the exception of the last 6 or 8 months of his life.  Then he relocated to San Francisco just to wind up dying on me.  What's particularly bad about the picture that I use online is that I've lost the original CD, so I'm always resizing the same old pic bigger and smaller.  Probably another year or two of using that picture and it'll start to look like the Shroud of Turin:-)

But as a simpson, that's pretty much what I look like.  The opening post, not the second post that was the mischief of someone that couldn't sleep early this morning.

Stress will do that to you. Glad to hear you're doing better. Well, you know I thought you were a "little heavy" for a veg. I kept thinking; man, all this healthy eating sure isn't helping the weight much.

So that picture is four years old, eh? A lot can happen in that amount of time. Not to mention the camera adding 10 pounds...

I do know quite a few morbidly obese vegans that have been vegans seemingly forever.  Just depends on your activity level, metabolism, and there's vegan versions of most of the processed stuff.  It's not just living on salads for most of us.  There's varieties of vegan mayo that are extremely good, but if you eat the whole jar all at one time it's probably about as healthy as having sat down to lunch and having eaten a whole jar of Hellmann's.  Even if the arteries weren't just as burdened with it, the waist just might be! 

Lots of vegan restaurants, in order to turn on the public to vegan cooking, can have desserts that I'm not sure if I'd want to know the calorie count on.  Rawfood veganism is the only diet that I know of that's safely an "all you can eat" without getting the crazy waist over it.  But some of the rawfood uncook books sometimes give the impression that even with that, there's a way.  Some of those dishes sound sooooooo goooood that one of these days I'm going to have to hire an uncook and tell 'em that their job is to keep me happy on stacks of books of those recipes 'cause some of 'em sound soooooooooo tedious with a million processes that you work through with a million ingredients. 

If human beings ever got to where they could successfully and for the rest of their lives live on nothing but air, someone somewhere's going to find the better tasting air with all of the calories!  Seems to be human nature.  Then a woman's complain will be that no matter how little they seem to breathe, it all goes straight to their hips!! :icon_jokercolor:
