Pumpkin Fest 001
I met Barney Fife this weekend. He was really just an impersonator, but it got me thinkin' (oh, shit)...
Do people that make a living and hence spend their life imitating other people have their own personality, or do they become almost obsessed with becoming someone they are not. I also wonder, do these people imitate because they look like someone, or because they admire someone?
I have one of those faces. I get asked at least once a week, "You look just like so and so." I have even been approached by people in other cities, theme parks, etc. "Oh, my god, you look just like my cousin." I like to think, no, they look like me. Is there really such a thing as a dopple ganger (evil/nice twin?)

I have been told that I look like a bloated J-Lo, but it's usually when I'm walking away from them. Hummmm....don't understand why anyone would want to look like Barney Fife, but then again, some people I just don't get.
Ahhh, what to comment on first? Those are great questions you pose concerning impersonators. After life time of impersonating someone else, do these people even know themselves anymore?
But maybe I'm, in the words of that great Americian if there ever was one, Barney Fife, "being obtuse." I still love that show. What does that say about me? LOL
