Am I the only one that remembers Mr. Yuck here from the commercials that used to air during Voltron, Transformers, G.I. Joe and M.A.S.K.? Mr. Yuck was a guaranteed laugh for a bunch of 7 and 8 year-olds because he would drink things like Drain-O and Windex and eat things like 74 Bufferin or Grandma's blood pressure pills and pass out-- after making the trademark face you see here. OK so the message was clear--don't be eating nothin' stupid, dumb-ass! But over time my twisted mind (along with my siblings and other friends) have made this face countless times and used it to symbolize things we really don't care for at the time. Like my current job situation. Or my current dating situation. Or my curr-- you get the point. So here's to Mr. Yuck, who for the last 25 years has symbolized things that you shouldn't ingest, be it literally or figuratively.
This is an experiment of sorts to try to tie together my online identity and my offline personality. I've made plenty of business oriented sites, but I have never actually put together one for myself personally... With the advent of social networking sites like Facebook and Myspace along with blog sites like Blogger and Twitter, I find that I have cut a wide swath here in the internet, in terms of being actively online, but there isn't one place to really tie that information together. So this will be an attempt at doing so.
