Poor Man's Son

  • He is displeased with being obliged to walk a-foot
  • He feels himself naturally indolent, and willing to serve himself with his own hands as little as possible
  • judges, that a numerous retinue of servants would save him from a great deal of trouble.
  • With the most unrelenting industry he labors night and day to acquire talents superior to all his competitors.
  • He endeavors next to bring those talents into public view, and with equal assiduity solicits every opportunity of employment.
  • For this purpose he makes his court to all mankind; he serves those whom he hates, and is obsequious to those whom he despises.

Friendly Neighborhood Black Kid

  • He is pleased with the freedom of on foot travel
  • To a degree, loves work, but loafs often
  • Disagrees, if you need a job done right...
  • Often, to the shirking of other tasks
  • In progress, via mediums abound, decentralized and the like
  • Disagrees, for what you allow will continue

It is then, in the last dregs of life, his body wasted with toil and diseases, his mind galled and ruffled by the memory of a thousand injuries and disappointments which he imagines he has met with from the injustice of his enemies, or from the perfidy and ingratitude of his friends, that he begins at last to find that wealth and greatness are mere trinkets of frivolous utility, no more adapted for procuring ease of body or tranquility of mind than the tweezer-cases of the lover of toys; and like them too, more troublesome to the person who carries them about with him than all the advantages they can afford him are commodious.

It's not about the money.

What's the difference between him and you?

Skipping the rest of that. First of all, the model is pretty. However I love the hole in her pants. It looks awesome in the top right photo. Most of the time holes like that just look a bit dumb, but that looks good for some reason.

That's my favorite photo of these anyway, the atmosphere is good in it. Construction site and all.

I should've just done this. Here's to you.

I smiled reading the enthusiasm in your comment. If it pleases you to know, Elena does have a potent taste in garb.

I commented this in the wrong place?

Everything pleases me. Smiles, happiness, beauty and photography.
