i'm closing in on my 5th year of continuous travels and like a star that shone too brightly and made the masses laugh (& cry) for far too long, i'm burned out. like an angel, not meant for this earth... i'm destroyed. like a pornographic thespian that's taken one too many in the eye... stick a fork in me.

since february, i've jetted from one beach vacation to another to avoid my traveling and photographic duties. from one of my vacations comes this gem of a photo teaser:

i allow you to click through the above photo to my flickr teaser photos and gawk at my sublime abilities with a shutter. not pictured during these mini-vacations is my sublime ability to eat, gain weight, then do nothing to work the excess kilogram-age off. i'm a fat bastard now. someone, put me out of my misery, please.
