Are you my evil twin?
 
 
 
 

A (stupid)Theory:
 

Yesterday walking to lunch, I noticed a dog who looked exactly like Grayson.  Exactly.  It was strange.  The dog and I made eye contact through the window of Volvo it was sitting in, and it was creepy because we stared at one another for a full 10 seconds, which is a lot for a dog and this dog looked at me as if it knew me, like we were old buds, and that I'd caught it doing something bad.  It looked guilty! It lead me to wonder about the theory of evil twins.  What if this dog was my dog's GOOD twin? (clearly, Grayson is the evil one...)  What if, at the very moment that dog was staring at me so intently, my dog was at home doing some BAD?

There are a few dogs around that look like Grayson (look here for a reminder) and I'm always surprised to see them.  I mean, she's a mutt.  An unusual looking mutt, to be sure, but a mutt nonetheless, so it's like seeing someone who looks EXACTLY LIKE YOU running around, or like seeing someone who looks JUST like your best friend or something.  Imagine, then, bumping into this person who looks JUST LIKE your best friend while you're walking to lunch, but knowing that it can't possibly be your best friend, because your best friend is climing Mt. Everest or something at that particular moment, so you're left with this weird feeling that you've just seen a ghost and it makes you want call the person on the phone just to make sure they didn't just make up a trip so that they'd have two weeks free from you and your bullshit.

Anyway, evil twins.  Seeing this dog made me wonder if we all have an evil twin, and whether or not it's possible that we, ourselves, ARE the evil twin.  What if I'm the GOOD twin, and there's someone out there, right now, having a great old time, gambling and drinking and doing fun stuff while I'm stuck here, at my crappy ol' job, wearing crappy ol' clothes, eating crappy ol' lunches, just getting fatter and paying bills and answering phones for other people? What if I'm NOT the evil twin?!!?  Sure, there are those of you out there who read "Dana, not evil twin?" and snort, because you don't LIKE me or something, but whatever, you're exempt from contemplating my existance.   What if one person's evil twin hooks up with another person's GOOD twin?  Possibly worse: what happens when two evil twins hook up?  Definitely worse, and by far the most boring:  what happens when two GOOD twins hook up?  What if every single thing I do is to balance and counterbalance the rash and foolhardy actions of my twin??  The mind boggles!! It DOES!!

These are important things to ponder!  I thought about it all on my drive home, the dog, Grayson, evil twins and when I walked into the house, there was dog shit all over the floor, PROVING, beyond the shadow of a doubt that Grayson is the evil twin.  See?  SEE???  Evil twin!!
