Whats popping besides needle drugs?

I was going to write about Alito and the sorry state of partisan politics plaguing the people, but beyond that alliteration, I didn’t have much to say.

Then this situation arose out of the clear blue.

Earlier today while I was at work doing my job like I get paid to, this chick rolls up on me and is like "Has anyone told you that you look like exactly like C. Thomas Howell?" and I’m all "Nah, nah. I don’t even know who that is. Nah."

But this was one of those newfangled persistent chicks I keep hearing so much about and she (as persistent people tend to do) persisted and said "He’s an older actor, he was in The Outsiders. You look just like him." At first I thought she was talking about the New Jersey based rap group The Outsiders (whose Nightlife LP is very dope, go pick it up) and I was about to reassure her that I did not look like anyone who was ever in that group (except perhaps Eminem and even then only on the basis of skin color. You probably didn’t know Eminem was in The Outsiders, but then again you don’t know shit.) when I recalled a book of the same title. And where there is a book, there is usually a movie. I call it the smoke-fire theory.

So I told the chick "I’ll do some research."

And I did.

And while I don’t throw around words like "exact" or ever really talk to strangers, I could see where homegirl was coming from. Unfortunately I don’t really have any pictures of me deadpanning it or looking sober to compare the flicks of C. Thomas Howell to, but its possible you know me in real life and know what I look like. Personally, I think I have better bone structure in my face than he does.

You decide.

1: Uhhh. Black and white? Driving a car. These are not things I do.

2: Sweating, looking under the influence, appearing on film. That’s more my stee.

3: I guess if I did my hair all silly? I don’t really see myself as looking like this, but then again my concept of reality is pretty much hit-or-miss.

PS: NO HOMO on all of this.
