Smile Challenge- Falseyedols' Entry

in #smilechallenge7 years ago (edited)

What's good steemit family?!

So, there's this #smilechallenge going around, and the lovely @eaglespirit has called me out. I am not a person to turn down a challenge, and I haven't posted a lot of pictures of myself over here either, so I guess this is a good chance for me to show off my beautiful smile and tell you a little more about myself!

The time I got to jam on 98.5 Blazin FM with local jazz legend Tony Exum Jr.

It wasn't exactly the easiest to find good smiling pictures of myself, as I'm not usually the one to smile with my teeth. Some of these are a few years old!! But I think it's kind of cool to show you guys some of my awesome experiences along the way!

Ok. Let's go way back to 2011, when I graduated college from the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs (UCCS).

My mother, step father and myself. I have such an awesome family

Alright! Now onto probably my favorite passtime (aside from making music), snowboarding!!!! I'm an old skateboarding punk, and transitioned into snowboarding when I got my own job and could afford my own gear!

Can you tell which one is me?

Ok, so now onto a cool experience I had where I got to fly on a small Cessna 182 plane, as apart of this ambassador program for the Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum, which is all about getting the youth more interested in aerospace!

The Cessna 182 I got to fly in. By far the smallest plane I've ever been in!

I was hoping to get to fly in this 1940's WWII fighter bi-plane, but the weather was too cold

Let's transition over to the first (and only) time I got to see New York City/New England. I had the honor to be the godfather for one of my best friend's @mic.mayhem daughters, and because they were living in Delaware at the time, I flew out there with his mom to be there for the christening. His wife's uncle was adamant about taking me out and showing me NYC. Unfortunately the homie stayed back and watched the kids, but it was an unforgettable experience!

The irony of going from this photo to.....

This one. This was well before states got hip to legalization.

Now to my favorite person in the universe, my precious spawn. I am lucky to be the father of such a smart, beautiful and imaginative young lady! She has taught me so much, and has become my best friend.

Back in my senior year of college. Had my kid when I was a junior, and almost thought I'd have to drop out to take care of her. Luckily I have such a supportive family who was able to help me watch her so I could graduate!

One of my favorite pictures! Sorry but my daughter wins this contest by default!

Finally, more leisurely photos of me with awesome people.

It was a lot of fun! Thanks for stopping by :)

Hey man, what a cool post and idea! I like this #smilechallenge idea and think that post I was talking to you about on discord may be the right one to connect to this! I'm working on it!!

Those were some cool airplanes. I love your buddy's soprano sax, too. I'm rusty, but went to school for alto.

Your daughter beams. What a sweetie. We'll be having some kid-friendly meetups coming and should def plan some more so that she feels welcome and can meet other kids from steemit families!

Righteous! I'd love to bring her sometime too! I look forward to your post

These pics are awesome! Some good ones in there!

How cool is that, and of course you cheated by throwing in a baby! How dare ye LoL
I loved the fam, friends, especially the WW2 plane, and musicians. Awesome share, thank you for participating! xx🦅
Ps. The popo/legalization segment was hilarious!

I enjoyed the challenge and letting everyone know a little bit more about me. Thanks for the nomination :)

@falseyedols, yeah the info is super good! Pictures do speak a 1000 words, that’s why if I could just sit post photos that would be soooo good! LOL
Thank you for participating. xx 🦅
