I posted earlier, and the person that judged my avatar said it was "a person". True, it is a picture of me, and not a traditional avatar. But I noticed many people here using actual photos of themselves---so this is my avatar. But the picture is of me when I was naive to the world. It was taken in 1974. Today, I am an adult. But that picture is my avatar now because it represents my social naiveness to the world. I can remember when that picture was taken. I was standing next to a vase of roses my father had bought my mother on their anniversary. It was August. Vacation to Myrtle Beach was over. The county fair was over. Summer was nearing an end as school would be starting soon. But still, I was dreaming of an amusement park I would build someday. I was thinking of roller coasters, carousels, and funhouses. While other children played ball down the road, I was content in my own world---with my family---with myself---and with my dreams. That was on my mind when that picture was taken. Sometimes, I wish I could return back to that time and cherish the innocence of childhood once again.
And I give release the bats a 10.
