Black Eye

Black Eye by CTRL-F5.
For some reason this is the only photo i like of myself, i think its the colors that i like. I use this pic in most of my profile photos on all the sites i am a member of, and to answer everyone's question.. No it is not photoshopped, it is real.
I gained this magnificent shiner just before xmas 2002, which isnt the best time to get facial bruising.

A drunk guy tried to start an argument with me on my way home from work (i was sober). After walking away from him he (or a friend) hit me with his car, my head hit the windscreen and this is the result. Fortunately this was the only damage i got.. I think i must a thick head and legs.

And a follow up five days later (after a shave)

Saw this photo on Colour Lovers and thought it was pretty awesome. Sucks that it came from getting hit by a car though.

Nice one! One of my friends gave me three blackeyes at different times when we were rough-housing (I got my digs in too) but I told him if he gave me one more that he would be buying me a nice pair of Oakleys to cover it up.
