The Face Behind BlissLogs
I’ve been tagged by Johnny Fuery to show you the face behind the blog. He’s been a reader of this blog almost from day 1 so what the hell, I’ll continue this meme. Also, it’s good to learn a few tidbits of personal info on your fellow bloggers and to put a face to the blog. Rather than me tagging any new bloggers, if you want to be included on the list below, comment to this post with a link to your “face” and I will gladly add you.
First, a couple things to fill you in on some of my history. . .
- I received my bachelors degree in Computer Science at the age of 21, in 1995, after splitting the cost of college with my parents.
- I spent more years than I needed, following college, going out and getting way too drunk every Friday and Saturday night at the downtown bars. My beverage of choice evolved from Bud Light to IceHouse to Jack and Coke. Every Saturday and Sunday morning/early afternoon was spent swearing I’d never do that again.
- I went from in the year 2000 vowing to never get married or have kids to 2001 getting married with a step-son and twins on the way. It’s amazing how fast life can change on you when you’re not looking.
- I now work at a dead-end IT job where my only motivation to keep it up is to continue supporting my family.
- I have an Xbox 360 and am optimistically looking forward to the following game releases later this year: Halo3, Half-Life 2 Orange Box (contains: Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2 episode 1, Half-Life 2 episode 2, Team Fortress 2, and Portal), Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Mass Effect, and Assassin’s Creed. I know I won’t get them all, but I can dream them can’t I?
- Now for the face. . . a co-worker got a camera to start a new hobby a couple weeks ago and snapped this picture of me at my desk. That’s why it looks like the life is getting sucked out of me.
Again. . . I won’t tag any new bloggers, but if you want to join this list, write your “face behind the blog” post, include a link back here and I will gladly add you to the below list. After I check out your mug that is.
1st thing to do:
Post a short paragraph or series of photos of yourself showing the face behind your blog. If you already show a photo on your blog, then make your post more interesting by choosing a photo that’s not currently online.

There’s still some life left in ya, J.
The “shaved yesterday” look works well on you, btw. Not sure the same is true about yours truly. Heh.
Thanks Johnny,
The day old shadow is more a result of my being too lazy to shave everyday as opposed to a look that I’m going for. But if it works, sweeeeet.
Great to ‘meet’ you Jason. Thanks for continuing this meme. And, thanks for the link love.
BTW, great photo of you.
Sorry, I am playing catch up on this particual meme. Welcome to the group!
Don’t forget the original 4th step. It is important to notify David Airey’s. His blog post The Face Behind the Blog started the meme and he is keeper of the official list.
4th step
If you link back to me here and send me an email. I’ll add you to the list above. This isn’t absolutely necessary but it does help me to keep track of the collection (I have an idea or two for an ultimate blogger showcase).
Each person tagged should create their own post and repeat the process.
Hi Jason,
Thanks for joining in! I think it’s always great when people come out from behind their blogs. It’s more personable that way.
Thomas was kind to mention me in his comment above. If you could add my name to the list, or what he suggests, it’d be very much appreciated. I hope to showcase everyone in the near future and will head back to my original list and add this post now.
All the best.
