Photos of Me
It has been awhile since I posted photos of me. So here are a few from the xanga meetup.
Is it me or do all of the people that show up to these xanga meetups always appear so short? (I am the guy on the left. Stephanie is the girl in the red. Jacob is some guy we found at the zoo (just kidding Jacob) and Serenadante is on the right.
In the above photo you can see Josh on the front left and wolvenchick in the grey shirt in the middle.
The above photo is Serenadante and me in the mini bubbles.
The above is me stuck in the mini bubble.
The above is me and serenadante petting a goat.
People always say I look different than they expected. For some reason people expect me to look 50. I guess I sound 50 in my blog. People are typically always surprised I laugh so much. I guess I don’t give the impression that I laugh. I promise I am always laughing at each of you.
Is that what you expected me to look like?

HOLY HELL BATMAN, A PICK OF DAN?!
Sure.
Yes, but only because I’ve seen you on Facebook and on Xanga Chat.
You’ve lost weight! ^.^
I think I’ve seen pictures of you before. And you look exactly as I thought you did. In the best way!
I’m so glad you all had fun wish I could have been there.
You must be like 8 feet tall. Holy shit.
I expected you to look like the guy reading in your profile pic….
Not remotely close. Stripes???
I guess you don’t really need the ladders in your blog’s background
I always pictured you as a tall man and light hair. Nice to see you!
Yeah you look different than I expected. Better actually.
YOU DO HAVE A FACE!
I’ve seen you before, so yeah, you still look like Dan.
WE NOW HAVE SEEN THE FACE OF XANGA-GOD.
I have you added on facebook and you sorta looked like what I expected you to: a white, older, texan man.
You look absolutely nothing like what i pictured.
You did (but I had seen you before on xanga tv), but I didn’t know you were so dang tall. I remember I Saintvi and I both were quite small next to you.
okay you must be real tall or they just really short lol
u look like what i expected
damn you’re tall
I thought you were a bald guy with glasses. Why’d you ruin my image of you?
I know you laugh at me. Everyone laughs at me for some reason…
By definition, it is a good meetup when more than 17.5% of the participants are non-Asian.
Inbred, monochromatic “we already know one another IRL!” Xanga events look much less fun.
And man, this must be a first; self-posted picutres of real-Dan. ^_^
I don’t know why but I always see you as a friendly fatherly guy, somewhat like how you look in these photos.
I knew what you looked like from catching your Xanga tv one time last year. But I didn’t know you were so tall!
I’m finally starting to get rid of that mental image of you, as an old man sitting in a chair
I always pictured you looking like your picture. I don’t always do that, but it seemed to just fit “you”.
I feel cheated. You don’t look like your avatar at all!
Actually, I don’t think I’ve ever given any thought to what you’ve looked liked. I’ve been subbed to you on and off for most of the last decade, and I don’t think pictures have ever come up (Except maybe when I wasn’t around xanga). Since I just assumed you didn’t post them, it never occurred to me to wonder.
Xanga LA?
Oh hey, Dan is a real guy!!!
I jest, I knew you were real =]
You are TALL!! To me, anyway… I’m just under 5’1″
I did not expect you to look like that, it’s kind of strange, you seemed so old.
And I don’t mean that as an insult or anything.
Their designer Hermes bags escorted the company into the 21st century, while retaining the timeless and classic appreciation for Old-world charm. The description of the entire market will be incomplete without highlighting some of the fact about this company.
I guess I always pictured you as being similar to the dude in your profile pic. Definitely not what I expected…but in a good way!
no. i figured you never went anywhere with your pipe and rocking chair! i mean your just-your-chair. ha.
and well they are small to you because you’re a giant, Gulliver.
Why didnt you take a picture of you in a chair with your leg crossed and wearing glasses smoking a pipe….? That’s what I expected to see. Ok so since I didn’t get that picture……I expected you to be wearing something totally different…lol
I guess people kinda expected you to look more like your profile cartoon. I kinda pictured you the way you looked, a little shorter though.
LOL As naive as it is, I always figured you looked like your profile picture
With that said, you look a lot better than you’re profile picture! 
I did expect you to be tall, but when I met you I was still surprise by how tall you really were!
I thought you looked like jim belushi from your profile pic.
I expected you to look a little more godly…nice to know you’re just like the rest of us though X)
Honestly, I wish I didn’t see these pictures in a way. …I figured you to be a lot different, and it’s kind of like when you read a book and imagine characters in it, and then see the movie and are like, “WTF!?” they’re not supposed to look like that!
I just didn’t expect you to be so big….
Welp, I’ve seen you on Xanga TV so.
holy shit you’re tall! and I actually imagined you older-looking.
Oh wow, this is definitely not how I imagined you for some reason haha. And I never really got the impression that you laugh a lot either, although there are ALWAYS plenty of things to laugh about in the comments on your blog haha always stirring up shit
i remember seeing a snippet of your xanga tv once, so i knew what you looked like (had forgotten, but the pics gave me a reminder lol). judging from the xanga tv, you definitely speak a lot differently than you write! and the same goes for serena. how old are you really?
This freaks me out a little! I’m not sure why! There is a need for exclamation points!
I’ve seen your pics on Facebook already
And someone commented saying it looks like you lost weight?!?! Yay 
)
Hahaha like I said, I always pictured you to be asian. I think one time you wrote a post about going to the cell phone store and the man was asian so you were afraid to check and see how xanga worked on the phone and from the on I guess I somehow it just made me picture you as an older asian man… I really don’t know. hahah.
Holy Jesus, how tall are you!?
@colormethespian - Haha I thought the same exact thing. He’ll never actually look like the guy in these pictures to me lol
I think you look like I imagined, not far off anyway. And people probably expect you’re 50, because of your profile picture.
I would be dancing in joy even if I were only up to your nose!!
I saw you on your Xanga chats but I never knew you were 7 feet tall.
That picture with you and Smaranda int he bubbles made me laugh.
I like the pics and no you didn’t look like what I expected. You look better!!
thanks for sharing
=)
nope…i thought you would look like one of those fancy dark haired businessmen. You know, the ones that wear navy blue suits and use a lot of hair gel. I’m glad you don’t, though.
Uhhh I expected you to look like some wise old sage, obvs.
I’ve seen pictures of you before. Looks like you guys had fun
@Cestovatelka - I just saw Jesus’ eyes!! ~ Dane Cook
LOL
c: Not what I thought. glad I was wrong. c: yay now I know what you look like
I knew what you looked like because I think you did a post like this before. I know it sounds stupid but I am so conditioned by your profile picture I just feel like you look like that guy in the chair! hahaha
love the random pictures, petting a goat hehe
You’re not 50?
Nice to see your face Dan! Glad you had a nice time.
I didn’t expect you to be a white socks wearer.
The stripes threw me off.
funny
CANNOT UNSEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
those are so cute! LOVE THE BUBBLE
You are a handsome young man to me. And I’m glad you laugh a lot. I’m a huge laugh-er! And I’d be honored if you would laugh at me. Looks like you all had fun!
HUGS!
Im with the crowd here, I expected a constipated old man, all by himself, because all he wants is a support system. Sorry.Page.
Is it strange that that’s almost exactly what I pictured you to look like?
tall man
Exactly what I expect! Dan, you’re so wonderful.
Wow! I’ve been here 10 years and thought I’d never see your picture! lol You look different than what I expected, as in less serious. More relaxed than what your blog sounds like. It’s good to finally see you! I can now leave Xanga in peace xD Well, maybe you SHOULD do a photoshoot looking like your profile pic.
I saw you on a vlog awhile back but dude you are TALL!
I’ve seen your pictures on Facebook, so this didn’t really surprise me!
actualy yes thats pretty damn close to how i thought you looked, though not quite so tall XD
You actually look very much as I thought you might. I mean that nicely of course!: Rather tall-ish and genial. I’m so glad I know now! I had often wondered…
interesting!! I always imagined you kind of like the guy on your profile pic. Short chubby bald and wearing glasses
kinda. but not really. you look happier than i expected.
You would look good in a suit, hah.
nice
I knew it!! You are jim gravy’s father, lol.
@omgroxie - LOL
I always pictured you as a old man sitting in a chair surrounded by years worth of newspapers.
I am so surprised!
No i have to admit i’m always suprised when i see pics of you.
But now that i’m getting used to how you look i think it sort of fits.
I liked this line too lol ‘I promise I am always laughing at each of you.’
yes because I remember when you did Xanga TV
@k8tthelate - Good thing I wasn’t there,they woulda said Dan was short LOL
lol, idk…it might be sort of what i thought you looked like. better than what i thought rob_of_the_sky looked like
lol.
You are a lot older, taller and broader than I expected you to be!!!!
You look like an engineer more than a blogger hahaha Great stuff nice photos!
I’ve seen pictures before. I don’t remember being challenged by any preconceived ideas of how you looked…. except maybe your height.
Even though the picture was of you sitting down, you were definitely taller than those around the table with you. :)
Glad to see you all had a good time. I’d like to do something on the East coast.
[I promise I am always laughing at each of you]
A quick glance through the first 50 comments, and no one has reacted to that.
It’s amazing what you get away with, and people just don’t see it.
I’m just enjoying watching the hordes of sheep that don’t realize they’ve been played.
Not at all, I guess you do come off sounding older on here. How old are you exactly? And dang, how tall are you?!
I’m sure you have a very hearty laugh. I don’t think people expect me to be as tall as I am either.
you dont look like what I expect of you. I expected someone….like Drew Fuller in Charmed…

Not surprised; however I’m more surprised that SerenaDante doesn’t look as Romanian as she appeared to be in her profile pic.
True-fully i expect a mid 30 year old guy
too bad @serenadante isn’t in canada. My husband and i follow her xanga and we are in ottawa atm.
Yay!!!
@Keeko1 - It’s probably cause I tried to dye my hair blonde and failed
I expected you to look more like the goat.
I thought you will look smaller.
Awww that goat is so cute.
But yeah, that’s pretty much exactly what I thought you’d look like
No. I thought you were younger for some reason. You look friendly and nice though.
you sound like you never laugh in your posts, but I’m glad we amuse you.
lol. I expected you to be older by the way you sound in your posts/messages.
With the gray hair, I guess so.
Never imagined that SerenaDante was a ginger.
“I promise I am always laughing at each of you.”
Dear Dan
Thank you so much for posting a picture of yourself up on xanga. now i can die knowing what you look like.
Court
No seriously thanks for sharing those pics!
I thought you’d look much older and have a beard…err…and possibly wear a Stetson
until i saw those pics, i imagined u look like socrates with the robe and everything. dunno why, but thats the impression u give me lol
you don’t look like what I expected but then, neither does Serenadante! It’s nice to have a face to go with the posts!
Not at all I used to think you looked like the guy in your pfoile pic on your chair
Haha, I pictured you to laugh a lot, I don’t see why people would be shocked about it. I knew you were tall but I didn’t expect you to have so much white/grey hair. Yet, I’m not shocked.
@stupid_systemus - LMAO!!!
I never said you didn’t laugh. But I’m not sure I appreciate you laughing at me….
I use to wonder what you looked like a few years ago when you took xanga by storm.
…anyway, I have met a good amount of my old xanga friends through the years. I’m happy to say some of them have become very good friends of mine. Its good to see that xanga is still alove and well after all these years.
where was ya’ll at?
it looks like a zoo i’ve recently visited. >.>
These pictures are cute
Yes you do look like what I expected you to look like and love the photos. Thx for sharing them.
I had a feeling you were tall! But for some reason I imagined you with nerdy glasses.
That’s about how I imagined you.
But I wonder if now that you’ve humanized yourself, I’ll look at your blogs a little differently.
I didn’t know what to expect, did you like that goat Dan? The goat didn’t look interested in you, he/she looked like he/she was giving you the “brown eye”… Did that hurt your feelings that you were getting the brown eye and Serena was getting all the love?
“I promise I am always laughing at each of you.”
How reassuring, Dan. LOL
I think people are expecting you to look like C.S. Lewis.
i imagined you looking like tom from myspace…
WHOA! Is that what you look like?!?!
hahah
Its not what I expected you to look like. Oh and we are always laughing at you too
You’re taller than I expected. And no, I wouldn’t expect you to be the laughing type. More like the silent and cynical kinda guy.
I had always expected you to look like your profile picture….and I’ll continue with that delusion…and old. Definitely older, with a pipe and something to read at all times. *nods*
holy shit. you are just like a freakin’ giant
that’s nice to see you in pictures and sounds like you all had fun!
Thanks for posting this up…if I could have found a way to go I would have totally been there. Unreliable car…too broke to travel…husband who would wonder who the hell I’m meeting up with in Houston…ect.
Isn’t it funny how we can perceive each other here at Xanga? I have no idea what people think I’m like or what I look like. I have a few friends here that do know what I look like, but for the most part I’m probably a mystery.
I’m like you in that I’m always laughing and joking around so I would think it really weird if people were surprised by that about me if they met me.
@MySpiceOfLife -Oooh, you’re right! I totally forgot about Xanga tv… but yeah, he was always sitting. Standing up, he looks suuuuuper tall!

I am laughing histerically at you being stuck in that mini bubble!!! Ok, we all seem shorter coz you are like nearly a foot taller than the average woman.
Steph and Serena are really cute BTW. hehehe
