So I'm coaching lacrosse for my beloved HS alma mater this Spring, and one of the other assistant coaches just got fired. There were many reasons, one of which included him having a lot of publicly inappropriate facebook photos. This made me immediately realize that I needed to get a more wholesome digital persona, and fast.
Here are some live-blogged "untag highlights"
- 3 pictures of me holding Donny in my arms. While Donny is wearing a prom dress
- 1 picture of me and Katie - proudly holding my sock that Katie bit a hole in during our cruise Quest domination
- More than a few pictures of me either drinking, shotgunning, or drunk-dancing. 2 of me drunk-dancing while holding a beer and wearing a 3-foot-tall balloon hat.
- 1 photo of me posing next to a "Mr. Viagra" sign
- 2 photos of me double-fisting 40s of King Cobra
- A few pictures of me dressed as Harry Potter... not necessarily bad role-model behavior, but not something I want high school jocks to see
- A few photos of us playing the rolling game
(I'm starting to notice I just need to eliminate every photo taken of me while visiting OU)
- Photos of me standing on a chair and screaming (never knew the lyrics...) along to some Wicked song
- I feel like prior to this, my tagged photos over-represented the amount of time I spend snuggling with other men
- Photos of us playing Buck Buck.... actually, some of those are just too awesome. Photos that represent my jumping prowess must stay.
- Now I'm getting nostalgic and more stubborn about which photos *really* have to be untagged. The picture of me and Donny in the baby pool is a keeper.
- Nor am I ashamed of any photo in which I am holding a poodle
- One photo of me skipping down the street. Coaches don't skip.
- That photo from Sweetheart 2002 is just so damn epic. Let's remind everybody that it still exists.
- Can't get rid of that one of me rodeo-riding the tiger sculpture at the zoo
- I don't think my presence in any album titled "Mika Dance Party" needs to be known
- Starting to get really depressed about the 40 pound up and down weight rollercoaster that pharmacy school has been for me
- Drunk Jake 2006 themes included: Standing on banisters, doing the Heisman pose, letting people know that I'm #1, and of course- staring open-mouthed at the camera
- I'd forgotten that Meg and I started to mock some peers when we started titling our albums "**hOcKiNg HiLlS aDvEnTuRe** *~*lOvE*~*" and so on. Too snooty to remove this opportunity to again look down my nose at such people.
- aaand now I'm dancing with an inflatable palm tree
- Man-on-man piggyback rides? totally kosher
- Not at all ashamed of all the pictures where I can tell I was flexing my calf muscles extra hard
- Dancing with a bowling ball
I have now reached the Halloween where I dressed up as Jigglypuff. It would be too hurtful to ever tarnish the glory that was this costume, and therefore I will now stop this untagging business. I figure if I just look like a boring old married dude, nobody's going to look past the first couple hundred photos, right?
