Ezzie in a Nutshell?
Some of you may have noticed the new slideshow on the top-left corner of the blog... It's basically pictures from my life, starting from near the beginning, all the way through Elianna enjoying Chanuka. Hope you enjoy! Meanwhile, JustStam tagged me with this meme, and I found it interesting, so... take a look. I've put my comments in as well:

yayyy thanks for doing it :)
ReplyDeletecan you explain the flashback one? like in the movies where someone has a flashback and like collapses type? i dont get the question!
"57. Pretended to be a superhero - who's pretending?"
ReplyDeleteOOH!!! I'M BATMAN!!!
Wow, in the slide show, Elianna looks more like you as an adult than you as a baby! : )
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get to see the Northern Lights? What about milking cows? Starting business? Combat zone? You've got some interesting answers there! : )
the pic of you in the red shirt, and you can see your faces profile and you are on the floor doing G-d knows what, looks exactly like Elianna- the cheeks espc. its no doubt shes yours man!
ReplyDeletewhat was the awesomely awesome Purim costume?
ReplyDeleteexcuse me mister- who did you kiss in the rain and when? in the engagement video the umbrella is blocking....
ReplyDeleteStam - That's a rough situation. Basically, someone is having a flashback to a past incident, usually something very traumatic, and they somewhat think they're there there again.
ReplyDeleteTaz - :P
Irina - I know, she does. But there are some pics from when I'm about 18 months where she looks a LOT like me.
I was in Israel during the intifada, and went to some interesting places. Everywhere was a combat zone... when you're a kid in Cleveland, you're going to visit a farm with school... you can see the Northern Lights once in a while from Milwaukee (every few years I think)... and I started a couple of small things.
Anon - Playing with my cars! Yeah, we concentrate the same way. And we definitely both have cheeks. :)
PN - Dressed as a dummy. When you're in WITS, and you're seeing dummies hanging from all over and doing all kinds of things, a moving one scares the crap out of you (especially in the middle of the night or if you're drinking).
SNL - Hmm, I wonder who this could be. It wasn't that day, as you should know. It was much later...
ReplyDeleteHi, I just wanted to let you know that I have done a sort of statistical study of responses to this meme, and that yours was one of the
ReplyDeleteblogs chosen for the sample. (I tried to let the unwitting participants know through trackbacks, but apparently the spam-filters caught all but a few of these).
The first of the results are posted on my site here.
