summer m.: a look back
it's my birthday. and though i'd like to post 26 wishes (that'll happen friday), i'm gonna post pics of me over the last 10 years. this isn't my own, self-centered idea. hell, i barely even look in the mirror when i brush my teeth. a while ago, phoenix (the one with the longest shout out on my blog roll) suggested that i post pics of me from the last ten years. just to show, iono, that for three semesters in college i tried to be a girl. so here goes...
1995
the kid.
1996
yeah, basketball gear and shit.
1997
what you know about senior pictures? (peep that nike, playa.)
1998
if you wanna see it, click here. if you don't wanna see me at my girliest, don't go there. warning: this shit will be removed by 1900 hours central standard time.
1999
fresh perm (comma) yo.
2000
what's that on my lips?
2001
still a bit, um, girl-ish.
2002

2003

I'm excited for your new year so be blessed.
I keep remembering that if I do a retrospective of that all my pictures from 1995 - 2003 would be incriminating.
Happy Birthday Sum-Sum,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUM SUM!!

Oh my damn. Summer was all super girly and shit. That's a beautiful ass dress for real though. Oh and excuse me miss are those new pumas (black with gold laces) I see you wearing?
Happy smurfday too.
