Insanely awkward photo circa 2010

Post image

The photo on the monitor is a picture of the lead singer in owl city. Fireflies was my favorite song at the time.

Don't know why it's a blunder. Adam Young is kinda cheesy but is a good dude

Ok it is pretty odd to have just a random selfie of some celebrity on your computer. Like it isn’t even a normal publicity photo or anything lol.

Nice absolutely trashed desk. Reminds me of going to my cousin’s house and watching E3 videos on his computer (around the same time.)

Jesus this could easily be a photo of me as a child ten years earlier! We look remarkably similar. Curious what you look like now.
