**: First HNT of 2007: The clean start edition ...

I apologize in advance. This post is gonna be all over the place as I am a bit scatterbrained today. It's the first HNT of the year for me. I've been playing since almost the beginning although I have taken the occasional week off. I have also been considering joining the 365 project. In case you don't know, the 365 project is where you take a picture a day of yourself for a whole year, hence the 365! It would certainly be a challenge coming up with 365 self portrait poses and angles, but I'm seriously considering it. I'll let you know.
Now to the HNT portion of tonight's program. I've always been told that the best way to start the New Year off is with a clean slate. Sounds fishy to me but I decided to give it a shot, so tonight I present me ... getting myself clean.

Aaaaaaaaaah!

See if you make it black and white it's art, not porn. Which begs the question: If I post a nude and erotic picture, does that make me neurotic? But I digress ...
I have a confession to make. I'm actually not doing this for the new year. The truth is I may have a date Friday night and I'm just so damned excited I can't stand it. It's been ... what? More than two decades since I had one. Nothing fancy, just dinner and a movie but it's a step forward. I hope I still remember how to treat a lady! Can you tell I'm giddy as a school girl? Nervous as an alter boy at a priests convention? Sweating like Mike Tyson trying to read? Yeah, me too.
In other scintillating TommyNews, I had an eye appointment this week. For those who don't know (or care about this shit) I wear bifocals and have to get a stronger prescription. That plus the fact that my baby boy is about to join the Air Force, really brings home to me the fact that I am getting old.
You see, I know a little secret. A well known blogger that's very close to the Darkside (and the onset of Alzheimer's) has a birthday coming up. That's right friends and neighbors. Your humble (and yet? Totally witty, side-splittingly funny and damned good looking ... but most of all humble. No! Really!) correspondent turns 45 next Tuesday. Yay me! Pffft! C'est la vie. N'est pas?
For that reason, I have been doing a lot of drooling and pinching young chicks ass ... er, self reflection lately. I've come to the conclusion that while some wine mellows with age and gets more expensive, other wine comes in a box and turns to vinegar. What does that have to with the price of tea in Indo-China? Don't ask me! I'm old remember?
In any case, Happy HNT to you. If you want to, click through the pic. There is an uncropped version waiting on the other side. Don't worry, it's still fairly safe for work. There's also a rumor sweeping the internet that I'm "hanging out" on another corner of the web this week too. Look around why don't ya!
Wanna join in the fun we call Half Nekkid Thursday? Go see the king of all Nekkidness, the man we or at least I) call the Wizard of Os. Get the rules and get to snapping already! Now, lets get Nekkid huh?

Very nice picture. My favorite "cologne" on a man is soap. Soap and warm skin: can't beat it.

Wow...happy...almost birthday! You're looking very fine (aging well...like a fine wine...hey...you said it).

Maakes me seriously consider joining the ranks of HNT again...I used to be a regular...but dropped out...but if you can take 365 self portraits...wow...then I should be able to take one a week...maybe.

Happy HNT.

hmmmm nice! I would offer to join, but I have a feeling this shower would soon get overcrowded with female commenters lol

Congrats on the date!!!! So glad to hear about it!!! And at 45 you're a mere pup. I'm not sure I'd agree to date such a young man, I have zero pedo tendencies, see.

Happy HNT!

Those shower shots are awesome! I'm still afraid of getting my camera wet! Can't wait to hear about the date ;)

Very nice shot(s)...and apparently, great minds think alike (though you don't have to click mine to get to the "art")! ;o)
HHNT and good luck if the maybe-date materializes!

Great shot and love the black and white...very dramatic. 45 is not a bad age...that happened to me last year and in true form of my grandmother...never act your age and my mom is still telling me to grow up. You, like fine wine should be savored! HHNT and good luck on your date ;o)

On your date, don't forget to open the car door for her. Chicks love that.
