hellziggy's not-so-normal life

[hellziggy]

So there was this new character introduced on Bones last week. He's played by John Francis Daley from Freaks & Geeks:


He seemed familiar besides the whole "he's on tv thing" and I finally placed it. He was reminding me of the first boy I ever officially "went steady" with back when I was in 10th grade, R.
This is what R. looked like when I dated him (crappy quality because I took a picture of a picture instead of dragging out the scanner):


Yeah, some resemblance. Skinny, dark messy hair, kinda geeky.

But what R. looks like today? I know there are some of you out there who I've mentioned this to. For many years it was an abstract thing that I had briefly heard about in the news but didn't really have any confirmation on.
Thanks to the wonders of the interwebs though, I did a Google search a while back for his full name and I got one hit. Yes, only one. Because someone who has been in prison since 1990 really doesn't have a web presence other than the Minnesota Department of Corrections offender locator page.
Here he is boys & girls, my first official boyfriend:

I'm not sure how old the picture is. He went to prison when he was 21 and he is 38 now.
It's a very surreal thing for me to think about...

Nope! My last contact with him was the note he put in my locker telling me that he was breaking up with me! He dropped out of school shortly thereafter and moved up north to the family he had up there. And as you can see that didn't work out so well. His victim was an adult family member.

Well phooey on him for breaking your heart! ;) Hellbob is better anyway.
