Blackbeard 10 Posted November 29, 2009 I was browsing through some old photos on my hard drive and came across several I'd taken to put on social websites (myspace, friendster, etc). Almost brought me to tears realizing what I looked like back then. I decided to make this one as a before & after to remind myself why I go to they gym every night. I hope it inspires you as well.   P.S. I was just thinking -- imagine if the pictures were reversed. If the one on the right was the before and the left were the after, I'd want to strangle whoever did that to me. Unfortunately the guy who did that to me is the one in the picture.
