Picture It…
Imagine my surprise to find that in my absence from the blogging world, Blogger has made it immensely simpler to post photographs. As we used to say back in the Navy: Huzzah!
And so, I have made a decision. It is time to change my profile photograph. The old one, commonly known as “The Best Picture of Dave Ford Ever” (BPDFE), has had its day and served me well. But, truth be told, that was taken years ago… I’d even guess that it might have been taken last century in fact. Don’t get me wrong, I can still tell it’s me. I personally don’t see the problem, but the beard seems to confuse people. Are you that guy that has the articles in that magazine? Yes. But you have a beard. Yes. The picture doesn’t have a beard. No…. Honestly, I don’t really get it. The article title is Desi-David – GlobeTrotter, there’s a white guy with long hair in the picture, there are amusing anecdotes about an inside-outsider view of Pakistan… but yet when they meet me, a white, Canadian writer with long hair, the beard throws them for a loop. Okay, it may not look exactly like me, but it sure as hell doesn’t look like anyone else round these parts.
So here’s to you Best Picture of Dave Ford Ever, it’s been a snap.
It is with great pleasure that I introduce, “Raja and Dave.” One of my favourite pictures recently, it is also the primary reason for the bizarre rumour in Canada that I purchased a camel at an auction. Works for me. Welcome to the blog.
hah! nice. welcome back to the blog mate.
Welcom back, now get get to some funny writing!
BEARD?!?!?
You had a beard?
{scratching own beard trying to remember}
Yay!!!
PUNK!! justwanted give a bit of news from back in west. Your Great Uncle Paul is living with a terminal stomach cancer dianosis. First dicovered August14/06 He is currently receiving palliative radiation at the WW Cross Cancer Institution in Edmonton which seems to provide a reprieve temporarily. We have canceled most of our business and pleasure travel to be with him. He is realatively pain free and quite lucid and coherent but this will not last forever. The original prognosis was 2-6mo. Paul feels that things are moving on the fast side. He had trouble finding your blog so promised him I’d do this.
I really hope you are well andthe life you are living there is filled for most part with peacefriendship and simplicity.
Via con dios amigo!
if i didn’t know u were canadian, i would believe it if you said u were pakistani
Sorry about your Uncle Paul. Wow, maybe it would have been better e-mailed to you.
Your new look must send the Pakistani girls reeling. Gora men who look suspiciously Pakistani has long been admired by the local desi femme fatale!
Is that a picture of a camel in front of you, or a picture of you behind a camel?
No, it can’t be both.
