I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
Not much of a story with this one. I saw a book cover that I liked, I adjusted the red, cropped, filled, added my call and state and voila, avatar.
The M83 avatar (just before it) was from the group of the same name. The picture was from a outdoor concert at night in New York's Central Park.
The "Don't Teabag Me" avatar was meant to be the exact opposite of what the Tea "Party" stands for. Opposite colors, opposite facing snake, opposite sentiment.

I tend to change them often enough. Thanks to Warren who gave me my first avatar, the New Haven Comet shield.

This thread prompted me to try a new avatar (that I am using on various forums). It is a macro shot of a bank of LEDs and Push Buttons when I built one of these
I have always liked the look of electronics under the hood.. they always reminded me of little cities with roads. Even when I was a kid.

I'm still saving up my money to purchase an avatar.
I don't change mine very often. Mine displays my attitude of late. To quote a line from Richard Pryor's last line from his often over looked film Which Way is Up?: "If you don't like that, you better shoot me in the ass right now, cause that's that last thing you're ever gonna see of me.......mutha fucka....."
One of my previous avatars:
I don't change mine often because of my extreme laziness.

I couldn't find my normal avatar, so I saw this one in my junk pics folder and stuck it on. I need to update it.
Ok. Updated. Waiting in the ER after a mountain bike ride.
