You know who I think I look like..

No one is going to be licking your fingers..

I remember working at this new company a few years back and meeting one of my co-workers for the first time, I introduced myself, and when he did a return introduction, he said, “you can call me JT”.  Definitely different from his real initials of, well, we’ll say SG.

Of course I am curious, some people of different backgrounds use more westernized names and nicknames sometimes (he was white though), or perhaps you go by your middle name(s), or what ever.  This wasn’t the case. He said “Well I look like Justin Timberlake, so you can just call me JT”.  He looked like Justin Timberlake just as I look like Dr, Manhattan in The Watchmen.

OMG...Cher? WTF? Try Bram Strokers Dracula..

Sometimes it’s OK to think in your head that you look like a celebrity, but when you need to start trying to convince people that you look like, are related to, or are that celebrity, it’s going a little far.

Funny enough I see this happen more with guys.  I have met people that have had a habit of telling other people who they look like, and it’s almost always guys.  We go to a bar, they walk up to a girl, and tell them straight out that they look like Jude Law, or Brad Pitt.  The icing on the cake is cutting your hair like that person and trying to dress like that person.  How many Brad Pitt movies must you rent before you think you pulled it off?

I don’t want to know who you think you look like because that’s a really sad existence. Celebrity impersonation is for drag queens..
