Alter ego theory..

Mmmm.. Something just occurred to me, the other day whilst in the waiting room at the docs with my grandma. Time mag from a while back was flipped open on my laP and headphones on to keep my head up in space. An article about Eminem was drawing my attention. Whoever the writer was, they had me with the ever so witty sketching of eminem. Oh btw, I like Eminem, he's a good artist, some of you may not agree with rap nor may you agree with his ideals or him but I think he is pretty brilliant and perhaps one of the best in his line of business. His songs hold meaning and they are actually good I think. Anyways, back to the article. The writer was making a point on how Eminem was a character of split personalities. Marshal Mathers, Eminem and Slim Shady. In an album it may be just one singer but it is actually 3 different personalities speaking. Its quite definable too, some songs he refers to himself as Marshal, others Eminem and the most slapstick of them belong to Slim. So the Q is, is this whats happening to me? Am I a different person around different people? Do I happen to write differently as Sonic? Do I act more mature as Xmas Island Boy? Is Jensen the mediator between the two? Gosh, I cant really tell the difference between my writing, as the writer cannot be his own critic. But I do want to know if this is happening to me. Given this is only a online blog but it may just be the same in the physical realm of things, Maybe I am 3 personalities that click on and off when needed, all controlled within a single body under the congress of one heart and the will of one brain. I wonder if there are anymore personalities within me. I know this though, I have noticed it recently. I can be unfairly harsh towards strangers, for that I am sorry but I guess that's just me, I will however try to keep that part of me in check, ohh and when I say that I am unfairly mean towards strangers I mean I always give them the benefit to prove that they are awesome =D which 99% of the time they do so all is good in J-town.

Hahaha I get that feeling sometimes too. I try to reconcile those split personalities at times, but fail. But then again I suppose it's not always a bad thing that we adapt different parts of ourselves to different types of people we talk to so as to meet what they want/are looking from us?
