DB Is Throwing It Way Back to 2006 for Viral Photo Trend
I’m usually not a fan of these old trends but I had to try this one. All across Facebook people are posting a collage of their first Facebook profile pictures and comparing them to their most recent selfies. I joined Facebook on August 16, 2006, which would have been not long after my birthday. I didn’t upload my profile picture until Dec of that year and this is what I posted:

DB 2006: Mysterious. Hiding in the shadows in my old gray hoodie. I get cold in most air conditioned rooms so you can honestly see me always wearing a jacket so that checks out. This would have been my first year of college. I initially went to school for theater thinking I would become an actor but in the midst of this I switched to mass communications with a focus in Broadcasting. I was about 160lbs and for my height I was a string bean. My voice was as deep as it is today so it was a weird sight. I just was trying to be cool here and overall I’m pretty embarrassed.

DB 2024: Still a silly guy. I’ve been together with my wife for close to a decade. We got married in 2021. Since 2006, I’ve lived a few lives. Monitor Technician, Photographer, Videographer. I’ve lived in Wilmington and have moved to a few different apartments before buying my first home in 2020. Survived a global pandemic. Hosted events including stand-up comedy shows, trivia, costume contests etc. Less mysterious but this guy still likes to wear a hoodie. I gained some weight. I think my voice matches the person now. I don’t think I care to be embarrassed anymore. I feel like the heart is still the same but the stories have taught me many different lessons. I wish I could tell 2006 DB, you will never truly figure it out because you aren’t supposed to. Live and have as much fun. And most of all it’s ok.
