Oh… I was so skinny…

by Matt | November 27th, 2007 |

OMG… Look at how skinny I looked then… Sophomore year of college… SpartanTV televised forum with two Republicans, a Democrat (me, the white shirt) and a Libertarian.

There is definitely, at least, a 10 pound difference between me then and me now (I’m blaming it on the Equality Ride, the Right to Marry Campaign and, now, sitting behind a desk ALL day, every day).

  2. I think if you were to average out the six of you, it would be in the ideal range. ;-)

    P.S. I hope the Libertarian was either of the prim and proper folks on either side of you and not the scruffier ones on the ends. But I’m not optimistic. =/

  3. Sorry… the Libertarian one is on the far left. But I think our dress what quite indicative of our political persuasions. The Repugs (either side of me) were indeed very prim and proper. I was sort of dressed up in an acceptable way (come on, I’m gay… the button up shirt and tight jeans are always acceptable). The Lib was definitely ragged looking.

    lol

    The guy on the far right was the host of the show. I forget what party he said he was personally with.

  4. I knew it! Aesthetically speaking, we libertarians are our own worst enemy. We dress the way Paul Krugman writes and Bill O’Reilly talks. =/

  5. You do look skinny there. You look good too. But…Matt, Matt, Matt….shame on you for using that term “repugs”. That’s what those childish bitter gay types do. You’re above that.

  6. It is all in jest Joe… I think I make fun of myself and my own party a lot too.

    I was really good friends with the two folks representing the Republican side that night. In fact, most of my best friends have been Republican.

  7. Okay (lol).

  8. Hey now! I’ve got my fair share of Libertarian leanings and I (think that I) dress well.

  9. Yes, Brian… you do dress well. You are a very pretty person. lol But you went to school in California. You’re excused from this joke.
