The first time I ever came across shoemoney was in a photo gallery where in every single pic, he stuck his tongue and fingers out like Gene Simmons from Kiss. Immediate brain imprint of him = douchebag.
But after talking to him a few times via email, I did a complete 180. Even with all his shit going on, he somehow found time to be really helpful with advice and tips. Overall, a pretty cool guy. Yeah, he exaggerates quite a bit sometimes, but we're in IM for fuck's sake. Who doesn't exaggerate?
The Duodenal Switch procedure he had a few years ago to lose weight seems to be wearing off though. He's begun to pack the pounds back on. Gotta be careful.
