A change of pace
hello.
I have been doing an awful lot of posting about finishing my basement and working on those nightstands. I think we all need a change of pace.
Feeling uninspired, I thought I would go to wikipedia, and devote a blog to one of the featured articles. I was bound to find something entertaining on wikipedia.
That brings us to this guy:
.
This man made some poor choices.
Actually, from the looks of it, he made forty to fifty poor choices.
This was Barnet Burns, born in 1805 and was a sailor, trader, and a showmen. Lucky for him, these are all jobs that don't require an interview. He lived with the tribal society of Paketa Maori for some time where, although it does not say this, he must have lost a very serious bet and they tattooed his face.
This picture certainly is an eyefull. One of my favorite things about this picture is that he dressed and posed for this portrait in a way so he could try to look dignified, despite the fact that he looks as though he passed out early at a house party with some dudes that had a magic marker nearby. I really expecting to see " I love balls" on his forehead.
This concludes this post that isn't about building furniture or finishing my basement.
