You can call me Ray, or...*
Atlanta, Georgia, January 2008
I swear he's smiling. I suppose anyone would be happy living in a $250 million state-of-the-art facility, cared for 24/7 by some of the top marine biologists on the planet, staring out all day at thousands of people who adore you.
It's the watery equivalent of a rock star's life. Too bad I lack gills.
Your turn: Life in a bowl. Please discuss.
Wait, I'm not done: Still accepting captions here. And still giving away a free iPod here.

* Does anyone remember the old commercial from which this line is shamelessly cribbed?
I used to live in a small town where everyone knew my business. It was life living in a fishbowl. Now I am in a foreign country where I get to reinvent myself and like the fish--I'm smiling!
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to do some underwater pictures or the likes. The prob is I dont have a camera for that and there is no sort of aquarium here for fishes unlike at home in Bergen.
ReplyDeleteHe is TOTALLY smiling! :) I needed that this morning! I explained in my newest post.
ReplyDeleteI looked at "Ray" and he is smiling! How cool is that! I don't know how people deal with living their lives in fishbowls. I think celebrities and political people have it rough...with everyone in their face all the time...and putting their business out in the street - so to speak!
ReplyDeleteIf I were a celeb and had all those people following me around - I think I'd be a very mean nasty person - and probably swinging a baseball bat at a few of them.
THAT is cool.
ReplyDeleteCool picture!! I always think underwater pics are the coolest...
ReplyDeleteI don't recall the commercial - but maybe it wasn't this side of the water..
ReplyDeleteHe is smiling but is he feeling it?
We all need to get out of our bowls occassionally...or we need a rock to hide under....:)
Beautiful pic. I don't know if I'd want to be stared at all day like that, but after working with sharks every day in a law firm, it'd be a welcome change.
ReplyDeletegreat photo! I don't know if i'd be happy in the big fishbowl.
ReplyDeletemichele sent me.
Before I saw what you said...I said to myself....'Awwwwww, He Is Smiling'!! He really looks as happy as he can be....That smile is a look of total and complete contentment!
ReplyDeleteMichele thinks so too, Carmi...And we both LOVE this picture! You had quite a time there, didn't you...!

ReplyDeleteI don't remember the commercial. However, I do recall a character who said that line frequently: Raymond J. Johnson, Jr. from the David Steinberg Show.
