Out of focus but even I see something

So here in Kansas City we have a phenom. His name is Joakim Soria. His nickname is The Mexicutioner. He gets this for the way he mows down the competition we he comes on in the ninth to save a game for the Royals. Those games a few and far between otherwise I think he would be leading the league in saves. He is a great story (read here)and the local media has jumped on his bandwagon cause lets face it with the Royals little else is interesting. So one of the local radio stations was giving away (asking for donations for charity) Mexicutioner T-Shirts and I got one. I put in on and had my dad take the picture with my phone to send to a few friends. You cannot really make out the graphic on the tshirt to well, but what I noticed was that I did not look like a fatty slob.

Now before you start saying that the shirt is racial insensitive please realize the Joakim Soria has embraced the shirt and the nickname. If you want to see the graphic more clearly and learn more about the history of the nickname click here.

It is a 3x that has yet to be washed. I figure by most of my clothes I am at a 3x in most stuff and a 2x in some. Considering I was a 4x and had give some shirts the ole fat guy stretch to make room for my bell I am pretty darn happy.

You don't look like a fat slob - in fact I think you look damn fine! Good work - maybe I'll take a more recent photograph. I still have this aversion to the lense. I think its based on years of scary results... Let's find out this weekend!

Holy cow, Matt! Is it possible to lose weight in your head. Your head and neck look so tiny. Are you just walking around with a big, silly grin on your face? You SO should be! Congrats, palsy!
