Do Not Fear Me

July 2nd, 2010 7 comments

At some point, I became the scary guy. I’m not really sure when that totally happened, but these days, I tend to make people nervous. I’ve been used to being an intimidating guy for a while. I was used to hearing people say they didn’t want to mess with me, because I was a big dude that could probably kick their ass. That usually ended up making me a little self-conscious, though, because I was never looking for a fight and I don’t like people scared of me.

Eventually I just got used to it. Whatever. It is what it is. People that know me, know I’m just a happy-go-lucky guy. Now, though, I guess the combination of size and tattoos and facial hair have enhanced my intimidating presence. It’s more often than not that older people clutch onto their valuables or push their kids behind them when they see me coming. I’ve literally had people walking towards me, move further away or suddenly cross  the street once their eyes locked with mine.

I won’t grab your children and throw them in the back of a van. I am not a Hells Angel. I am not some radical white supremacist. I’m not even violent. At worst, I may cuss a little too much. But if I don’t start getting some better respect in public, I might just have to start killing people in broad daylight.

Seriously.

The Food Monster

July 2nd, 2010 6 comments

food monster! If I didn’t know better, I’d think this was just a result of really good weed, but there’s a freaking food monster hiding in this ad. And Target’s all trying to be nonchalant about it.

“Oh we’re just here to tell you about coupons and stuff. Never mind the food monster hiding by the milk.”

Don’t mess with me, Target. I don’t appreciate it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

UPDATE:

For those of you that simply do not believe, I have provided the rough sketch that I did here at work. It’s scary, I know. Parents, you may not want to let your children see this… unless you’re really into giving your kids nightmares as punishment or even fun. If that’s the case, then by all means.
