looking through old pictures

well, not really old pictures...
i keep my computer organized like i do my life....with "junk" folders in a couple places. i use junk folders to keep any file that doesnt seem to have a place anywhere else (internet pictures, random docs, etc.).
well...after a couple of months its usually fun to go back and rummage through whats in the folders. these were a couple pictures that made me laugh....

(above) this is a picture of my older brother, manuel. its a rough picture thats probably about 15 years old now. for me, this image just captures him in a way thats so fitting. he was a crazy dude when he was younger (still is) and this image for to me is just "my bro, manuel". haha.
(above) this is a picture of my cousin coming off a launch on rollerblades. when i was younger i did a lot of inline skating. i was pretty good but couldnt pull anything super gnarly. anyway, this is just a funny picture. that seems like such a long time ago. before kids, before divorces, before everything. (above) this is my senior picture (dont hate). i was not into high school at all. i liked the school i went to and i had good friends. i just was not into the school activity stuff. i never got into the yearbook my entire time in high school. i was kind of like a drifter my freshman and sophomore years. friends at school but entirely different friends on the weekends. junior was cool. went to a pretty cool tech school. it was sort of like an a junior college i guess, but it was open to 10-12 graders and you had to apply to get in. it was pretty killer to have so much freedom when all yours friends at their schools had to do some lame ass sick class schedule. i had block scheduling, which mean i only had 3 classes a day. it was like mondays were science all morning, then you had an elective "major" (mine was "commercial art"). anyway, im going off topic here. the school was pretty cool, probably the only reason i stuck around to graduate....

ok, my senior picture, i look like a dip shit. my hair looks wicked. haha.
