I hate having my picture taken. Whenever I see a camera, I stealthily try and blend into the background - chameleon style.
You can probably imagine then how it came as a bit of surprise when I realised that I’d been papped and overnight had sensationally become “The Face of E-commerce Expo”. True it might be a pretty geeky face, but that’s not the point.
Not content with using me in a starring role on their website (without paying me I might add), it seems that the E-commerce Expo folks have also decided to immortalise me on film too. Let the royalty cheques commence…
It’s that time again when one of the world’s most important people will soon be elected. The race is hotting up and everyone is talking about it. True, it’s already been dragging on for months, but you can’t help but get caught up in it, can you?
No, not the American elections silly, I’m talking about The Sun’sPage 3 Idol (nsfw) - although they do both currently seem to involve choosing a big pair of tits. Anyway, we’re down to the last sixteen clothely challenged contenders and it’s nearly ballot time. Oooh… decisions, decisions…
I was going to have a crack at this last January, but I never got around to it (probably because I forgot to put it on my to-do list). Anyway, with the new year just starting and my mid-life crisis in full swing I’ve set about making a big ole list of 43 things that I want to do before I’m 43.
Don’t worry, I’m not planning on turning all Earl Hickey, I’m just trying to think of achievable stuff, that at the same time isn’t too easy (and hopefully isn’t too shallow). Sounds quite simple, doesn’t it?
Hmmm. Well after filling in a bunch of fairly obvious stuff that most people probably want to do… I’ve come to a bit of a full stop.
So whilst I’m waiting for inspiration to hit me, what sort of stuff would be on your list?
When I went to E-Commerce Expo 2007 earlier this year, there were a few people running around taking pictures of the event. Whenever I saw a camera pop up, I made sure I ducked behind someone or stepped out of view. There was no way I was going to be papped. No way Pedro.
Unfortunately, I seem to still have been snapped! Doh!
