Mr. Wrestling II

The splash page currently only features the "old" Detroit Tiger logo as I seek to restock it with fresh snaps.

Jesse Popp has landed. And for those who were worried, it's now 24 hours in and we're getting along famously. Just ate bowls of cereal together not an hour ago.

I saw somebody on the subway that looked just like me. This has only happened to me one other time in my life and it had to be at least 20 years ago. It freaks me the fuck out. I was looking at this dude and the realization hit me and I looked away as I tried to convince myself he didn't look like me as he wasn't charming my senses. Then I looked back and decided the eyes were mine, the head shape too, and just about everything matched except the nose. I was again faced with the notion that this dude was kind crappy looking and that I too might look that crappy. I think it goes both ways in the mirror. Sometimes you look and your brain convinces you that the boil on your forehead is much more grotesque and hideous than any on looker thinks. But there are the other times when you think you look like the cat's ass when in fact others think you're pretty below average in appearance. The time ten years ago when I saw my doppelganger I was extra tripped out by the way he was acting as we obviously shared mannerism and that almost caused me to pass out. I just hate seeing a lookalike and being disappointed.

I know, really hilarious stuff right there.
