I'm Rob, from Connecticut. I'm a TV/Music/Movie addict, who has now become a Tumblr addict too! :)
I'll just be posting things that either amuse or annoy me... and music, *lots* of music! Enjoy!
Because it’s been awhile since I last posted this: A Throwback Thursday “Rerun”…
Question: What do you get when you cross Welcome Back, Kotter’s Vinnie Barbarino with Family Ties’ Alex P. Keaton???
Answer: My High School Senior photo! (Taken in October 1989)

Throwback Thursday #2: Since you folks seemed to enjoy the Senior Yearbook photo I posted earlier today, here are a few more pics from various stages of my teenage years. (I think they’ve all been previously posted.)
Pic #1: January 1986 - Me, as a 13 year-old Best Man at my brother’s 1st wedding. He was only 17 (a few months short of 18) at the time… It was one of those “Shotgun Weddings”, as my 1st nephew was born just 3 months later!
Pic #2: September 1988 - My Junior year photo. This may be the best-looking picture that’s ever been taken of me! (…And I must say that not many people could rock the ‘peach’ shirt the way I did that day! :P)
Pic #3: May 1989 - My Junior Prom… And my 1st time ever wearing a Tuxedo. (The *official* prom photo was posted previously here.) This prom also marked the beginning of my 1st year-long relationship, with my “first love”.
Pic #4: November 14th, 1990 - My 18th Birthday! This was the passport photo I had to get to be able to get my 1st photo-ID. (As you may guess by the photo, I had been seriously partying the night before!)

![Throwback Thursday: I’ve posted this one a few times before, but it’s been awhile, and I know I’ve had a bunch of newer followers since the last time it ran… Here’s my senior photo, taken in Oct. 1989!
The hair stayed long for a few more years after that, mostly because my girlfriends at that time absolutely *refused* to let me get it cut… For some reason they seemed to like playing with my curls.
[Please also notice: from the Rodney Dangerfield School of “No Respect”: The idiots who put together our Senior Yearbook actually managed to misspell my last name in it! - Over 20 years later, and I’m still pissed at those fuckers! ]

Throwback Thursday - Prom Pictures edition
Here I am at both my Junior, and Senior Proms (June 1989 & June 1990). As you can see, I went to both of my proms with the same girl, my “first love” Carolyn (who I wrote about back in November, after running into her for the first time in a decade). We had just started dating about a month before my Junior Prom, and broke up three weeks after my Senior Prom.
Strange Coincidence/Fact: While Carolyn went to a different high school than I did, the man she ended up marrying had the locker next to me in my Junior year (when I started dating her), but didn’t end up meeting her until many years down the road. I ended up attending their wedding in 1997, and they now have a wonderful family of four children (-the first three were triplet-boys!)

That is a magnificent Mullet that borders on the Farrah Fawcett! I fucking love this picture!
Haha, thanks… Although, technically it’s *not* a Mullet.
Mullets are “Business in the Front, Party in the back”… This was feathered, and a “Party All-around!” :P

And here it is… my “Tiger Beat-centerfold” Senior Picture!!!
(From October 1989, about a month before I turned 16.)
Haha… I know, I look like a damned cross between Vinnie Barbarino & Alex P. Keaton!
…and if you’re too young to get those references, “Get off my lawn!” :P

These are from my HS Graduation party, June 1990.
WARNING: These are graphic images of some serious *80’s Hair*… You’ve been warned!!!
Here’s me, and my older brother striking a funny-pose with our Dad.
Me, with a couple of friends/coworkers who came to my party.
And with a couple more friends…Yeah, it appears that my “17 yr-old Self” was a bit of a playa… :P
[…Actually I ended up getting engaged to one of these ladies a year later, when I was 18!!! - Young & stupid, that was me! :D ]
And finally, here’s me towards the end of the night, after a “few too many”…
“Cheers!”
