I have been told so many times (too many to count) that I remind
people of someone when I first meet them. This has happened to me my
whole life. Therefore, I must have some evil twin out there living my
life before I arrive. I say an "evil" twin because I can use this
person as an excuse for any bad deeds I may perform and this excuse
should work.

Last night I went out with "E" and met a bunch of her friends. This
group has pretty much known each other since high school and still
hang out together. This is pretty cool because I definitely do not
hang out with any of my high school buddies. Hell, I don't even hang
out with any of my college buddies. I seem to go through friends
pretty fast and regular. Around every four years I seem to hang out
with a new set of friends. What does that say about me? Commitment
issues for sure...

Anyway, I digress, last night I reminded them of their friend
"junior" and heard it all night long. It wasn't bad at all, actually
it was pretty cool because these were good people and accepted me as
if I was their friend pretty quickly. I just find it interesting that
I remind people of someone else pretty regularly. I wonder just how
many evil twins I have out there in the world. And what if these
twins are more cool than me. Man, that's a lot of pressure on a
person. I have to be "cooler" or "better" than these twins to make
myself stand out. After all, who wants to be known as the boring "twin"?

So if you see me out there in the world and I am boring, you must be
meeting my boring evil twin and not me. But if you run into me and
I'm the life of the party, then it is the real me and not the evil
twin. It's kind of nice having an evil twin I must admit.
