Okay, against my better judgement, the only pictures of me that I know of on the web can be found by typing "mac charles" in your search box. If "forever and a day" comes up in the description line, click on that and you should get a look at my ugly mug.
Okay, okay. I admit that by posting the nine year old me, I was onlly playing the game, half-assed.
Here's my hubby's favorite picture of me (wonder why? LOL)
It was taken in Vancouver in 2000:
BTW, Chester, which one is you?

jester and chester -
okay. now that's funny.
so i see from your pics you are both musicians.
jester - none of the music links on the acoustic brownbag link for mac charles was working and now i'm kinda dying to hear your stuff. does it exist anywhere else?
and chester - you were playing the guitar in one of your photos there. do you have any webbased tunes? i think i recall you e-mailed me saying you listened to a couple of mine. so now i'm curious to hear these other musicians on this forum!

Trying to work out how to post my pic from photo island but it keeps only putting the URL up, not the actual picture. Any help greatly appreciated!!!
Fingers crossed this works, if not, back to square one.
YAY.......okay, explanation now. The above photo was taken in my garden on Fathers Day 2002. That's my son Liam (NOT named after Liam Finn surprisingly enough). And now hopefully my avatar will work too...........
Hey LikeRain....yep another gigging singer songwriter...... recording some stuff now so will post it somewhere when its done....and yep I did go to your site and loved your songs.....

Iv'e had a lot of complaints about being scarce on the net,as for that acoustic brownbag show,I don't know why it's not working. that's okay though because I never liked that show anyway, I wasn't quite awake for that one. unfortunately a lot of people booted it and passed it around.blech!
I wish I had a faster connection so as to hear everyones music properly.

Overall, it has become clear to me that we, "the Frenz" are a very handsome bunch, a group of unique, cosmopolitan and actually very "presentable" fans any music group should be very proud to have! That said, get ready, because here comes an onslaught of my unsolicited opinions about all the piccies on this thread, so far!
Here goes:
Silke – You give the impression of being a VERY good friend. And cute, too!! My favorite is the pic of you at the playground.
Brandi – not that I need to point it out again, but wow what a smile! Your friend in the pic seems COOL ASS, too. Love her smile and the great silly wink. No wonder you smile so big and so genuinely around her!
Prplmeanie - That costume ROCKS! We should all look so good in silver mini dresses and go-go boots! (Including Geddy! LOL.)
Donovan, your fanciful ‘do’ is just divine! I think Anslem is just jealous. He must suffer from frequent “bad hair days,” I guess. LOL. Kidding, Anslem! (also trying to goad a picture out of you!!)
Geddy, you have kind eyes and a pretty mouth. (Is it P.C. to say that a man’s mouth is pretty?)
Kill Eye, smooches to you, darling. Thanks for sharing! *kisses *
As for me, I like the "pre-rack" me best. I looked smarter then, didn't I? Let’s face it we were all cooler at nine, weren’t we?
Alison, another pretty smile! Who’s the bloke, BTW? (Or have we already established that?) I remember seeing that TV show with the “steroid Barbie” too! Hee hee.
Jenn: no fair! I always wanted to be a dazzling blondie with a perfect smile who looks good even in fuzzy pictures!! It seems to me that your teeth can hold their own, even compared with brandi’s beautiful choppers… Also, it seems you picked out the perfect avatar to describe yourself, given the choices provided.
Arlington… that first link is “expired.” Bastards. Even picturetrail has now started requiring money… therefore all my piccies are soon to disappear! Oh well, no great loss.
Mabelle- You are a cutie-patootie. No other way to describe it. Cute smile, pretty toes, ooh, and a bit of leg, even! You go girl! Hee hee.
Missing Person: Might I say that your mouth is also quite pretty? LOL. I’ve been to Adelaide, too!! What brought you there from Seattle? Inquiring minds want to know!
Sacredcow: That’s not a bad picture, really. I can see that you have cute dimples on your cheeks and nice thick, long hair. The way you’re balanced in front of the water would make me want to toss you in, though, to see if I could get a laugh or a smile out of you.
Joanna: You have what I like to describe as “sunshine face.” No CYBORG at all!!! My best friend from school had that kind of sweetness about her. Also, how cool to have such a nice shot of you and Neil!!!
Arlington: OMG what a sweet baby face you’ve got! I’m sure the girls go gaga over you!
Dorthonion: Yeah!!! That’s really cute! Each of you seems like a “good catch!” I like your haircut, too, BTW: just enough curl up top without looking like Tim in the Never Ceases to Amaze Me video. Hee hee.
Belle: Bummer! All I’m gettin’ is the little red X and a “Remote Linking Forbidden.” The Funky Evilness thing is kinda fun, though. And you picked a cute AV… so good on you, anyway!
Speaking of Avs, Brandi… is that a Chicken McNugget, or what? LOL.
Kia: Again, I’m amazed at how MUCH the first pic you posted looks like your avatar! Same “chin up,” classy features and attitude. Kewl! But your second picture is even better, because it is so natural looking…shows off your pretty blue eyes and wavy hair. And, oh yeah, “nice tat!”
Gemini: I’m with Kia! You have a very “Laura Ingalls” wholesome beauty! Cheers and another glass of champers to you! LOL.
Anne: Look at that! Another beauty! A bachelorette party, huh? Come to think of it I CAN see that very healthy rose in your cheeks… and is that a devilish gleam in your eye? LOL.
Chester and Jester… I had fun surfing up those pics of you two. Suddenly… now and forever!…the two of you will always be linked in my mind.
HINT: Go to likerain’s profile and you can surf onto a couple of pics of her, too. Quite a lovely musician.
Houser: VERY cool avatar, and I did get a look at that sweet pic of you and your son before it turned into a little red X. Quite charming!
Alright now, let's see everybody else!!
I am particularly curious about:
stepinmyshoes, Anslem, suenotsusan, Error Gorilla, Secret:God, grace0418, Caledonia, Pet Eunuch, Betty, Siren, Paul_G, Jaffaman, boarderGurl, kaysee, JuddFinn, blueballoon and of course the REAL Donovan!!!
Give us a look, eh?

I second Joanna on the description of you as "Sweet"!
And, as a blonde speaking to a blonde, I got a look at your picture - you are looking darn good there yourself!!
I second the notion that we got a lot of good looking people here, wow!

Ok, well it KINDA worked! That's actually the link to see all the pics I posted there, which is OK. YAY...it finally worked! I'm working on a web page. I'll post the URL to that when I'm done. Or maybe I'll even post it while it's still under construction.
BTW, Arlington.....I LOVE the crayon TIE Fighters on your wall in the background!

SSP, I don't think there is anything wrong with saying that geddy and MissingPerson have "pretty mouths" BUT it does make me think of the movie Deliverance which is not a good connotation, it you know what I mean!!
(No offense to geddy and MissingPerson whom are both cute by the way)

I'll forgive ya the go go boots comment, although I feel a nightmare coming on tonight
:Edit: Jenn, Thank you too. And no, I wasn't offended by the "pretty mouth" remark, but if it had been spelled "purty mouth" instead, and heard the banjo - that'd be another story!
You'd see me running away for a totally different reason! More Pics Please!!!!
SSP and Jenn - thanks for the compliments and no, I don't have any problem with having a pretty mouth Have to say I've never had anyone say that before though. SSP - do you have a mouth fetish or something?

Thanks Sweet Secret Peace..the woman in the first picture is my girlfriend and the second is my best friend.I usually smile myself silly around both of them (but for different reasons )
And yes,my avatar is a Chicken Mcnugget..haha.The only reason is because at one point my friend and I had photoshopped her ex-husband's face onto it,so I thought the original would be cool to use.Yes,we have too much time on our hands.
Brandi
BTW..I love all the pictures too..keep 'em coming!

Here's a pic of me being arrested. It was taken during an outside street party by a fellow co-worker. It was a good party other than that!
P.S. - The public intox charge was dropped, all is fine.

locked out:yeeaaahahaha!!!been there,done that!
Here we go...me at the drums at a Beatworld gig.
Thanks everybody for not choosing to ignore my long-ass post! (I get that a lot... hee hee.) And also for saying I'm sweet... *blush* Also, in case some of you are now thinking that I have no life, rest-assured that what you are experiencing is actually �the slow season� in my business, and since I�m my own boss I get to spend as much time on the Frenz board as I want. So there.
Hey Jenn�OMG, I must've missed that "purty mouth" line in Deliverance! Scaaaary! (Don�t worry Geddy I promise I would never tell you to squeal like a pig!!) Hey, I just noticed you�re a MinnesOtan! I�m originally from Wisconsin, so we�re practically neighbors, don�cha�know! Have some lutefisk for me this Christmas! *plugging nose*
Missing Person� I was an AFS exchange student to Adelaide in 1984. I lived in a suburb called �Paradise.� (Cool name, or what?!) When we�re all waiting in line in Seattle for a long ass time you can tell me and boarderGurl and all the rest of us the story behind your long distance move! Oh, and thanks for noticing my cute AV! I actually found it online somewhere�so I can�t take credit except for choosing it. Oh. And, yes, I suppose I do qualify as having a "mouth fetish" assuming such a thing exists outside of Deliverance. LOL.
Brandi: forreal I thought those two were the same friend; just making different faces for the camera. So you have a girlfriend and a girlfriend, huh? This is saucy news, for sure! LOL. I suppose now all those guys who've looked at your gorgeous pics and fantasized about waking up next to you are now fantasizing about waking up between you and your girlfriend! Nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more. (Except maybe this: Good on you girl! And: She is one lucky girlfriend! That sort of thing. )
Sacred Cow: I knew it! Congrats on kickin' ass at the badminton thingie!! LOL.
Locked Out: ROFLMAO! That's a great picture!!
Pet Eunuch: Okay, now you really need to post a picture of yourself...if only to prove you're not a *ahem* pussy.
Dr Thirsty: Hey, nice touque, eh?
Beatworld: Cool!!
Cheers, all. This is really fun! Thanks so much for sharing who you are!
Well �la de da!� you mean one of the Frenz is actually famous enough to have a SUB-fan club? LOL. Dude, you�re gonna have to post a better pic, cause I ain�t joinin� your fan club until after I decide if you�re cute enough! Plus, I agree with Silke you are a big ole braggart and a show off!!! * green with envy* (I'll forgive you, though, if you tell me you stuck out your foot and sent old "Holmer" flying across the floor for botching up the Enz anniversary webcast like he did�) Heh heh.quote:Originally posted by Silke: [qb]For the girls: There actually is a Jeremy Ansell aka Jaffaman fanclub at Yahoo because we think he's sooooooooo cute!

HELL yeah! Hey, I like that: "Crayon TIE Fighters"... that would make a pretty good band name! Man, gurl, do those mountainy shots make me jealous! I�m stuck living in this flat, humid, petroleum-addicted concrete jungle for now� but I�ll be up your way SOON!! (We�re still on for that �aging groupie� thing, right?

Juicy juicy news indeed...haha,but thanks again for the compliments Sweet Secret Peace..and yes,the beautiful brown eyed woman in the first picture is my girlfriend girlfriend.But I'm the lucky one to have her..sometimes I don't know what I did to deserve her,she truly is the other half to my whole. Okay..I'm done being sappy now.Come on,who's next?Who's the next brave soul to share a photo?
