My so called "twin"
-
I get this all the time. I think it's just because everyone knows that someday I'll be good looking, famous and incredibly wealthy. They want to get to know me while it's still affordable to do so.;P
My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will finish this project, in this life or the next. Slightly modified " from Gladiator. Code-frog System Architects, Inc.

This is getting far more intriguing. I may have mentioned this in the past, I seem to recall a joke or two about "fight club" (which I did not understand, but I have since watched - intriguing, but hopefully not the case). I was reminded I haven't mentioned this recently when I mentioned gambling. Since that was how this started. History: I do NOT have a twin brother as far as I know. When I go to Ruidoso, I am 50% of the time approached by locals who congradulate me on my winnings at the Casino. I do not gamble, and although I have walked through the casino on non-crowded hours, I have not put a dime in a machine (I have purchased some native american flute music from the CD rack in the back in the smokeshop, but that is it). They are adamant that it was me, some even having approached me close enough to shake my hand at the table. Supposedly this guy plays the card games, poker and blackjack, and rakes in a small fortune from which a small portion goes to the ladies under each arm (I barely remember the last time that "a" woman was under an arm, there has never been two). Current: The latest occurance is running into folks at Siggraph from a nearby town, Las Cruces, where I used to live. They were from the University there. They also swear they have seen me there. Although I have, in the past year, considered going back to school, I have yet to re-enroll. This is beginning to sound like elvis sightings, but the whole idea is rather intriguing. I am familiar with the idea that eye-witness testimony is often way off, but there have been dozens of people and all very, very sure of themselves. Only four recently with this university sighting, but I am more curious than ever. The "fight club" concept, although interesting, I do not think is possible with this latest sighting. I work 12 hours a day (1 hour commute, work, 1 hour commute back), which makes these sightings when I am publically visible at another location. Sorry, not possible. So we are back with the other possibilities: A) This guy actually does look like me, I am curious how much B) We both have a face no one actually pays attention to, and therefore look like what ever the witness wants us to, but really look nothing alike. C) We simply have the same taste in clothes, no one pays attention to the rest. I am considering increasing my trips to Ruidoso to find this guy, possibly even trying to find out when he visits the Casino. I may not gamble, but I have an insatiable curiosity and this is getting to me. _________________________
