Overpass Experiences The Eric Wroolie Blog

What I look like now

If you spend time with me now, you would know that I don't look anything like the picture on the side panel of this site anymore. That picture was taken two years ago-- in the summer of 2006 while standing next to my brother on a beach in San Diego. My appearance has changed since then and people who knew me then don't always recognize me in public.

Like a lot of people, I'm not comfortable with pictures of myself and rarely like how they look. So, I keep that one up until a better one comes along.

On the train the other day, I took a picture of myself to post on Facebook. Here's a comparison of two pictures two years apart:

2006 Me	2008 Me

I've had a beard for about a year and a half now. The weight I put on is concerning (and I'm seriously trying to get rid of it). The gray in the beard is a surprise too. I wear my hair longer and, for now, I like it that way.

When I posted this picture on Facebook, one of my friends said "What have you done to yourself?" Well, that's it.

When I find a picture I like for the side of this site, I'll update it-- but for now, 2006 Eric stays there.
