Personality Crisis - New York Dolls

Good morning and happy Sunday.

Happy Sunday 70s. Got a story about David Johansen of the New York Dolls. This goes back almost exactly, to the day, 17 years. Just after my oldest son was born we took him out for the first time. I had to pick up new glasses. We lived in Staten Island ,NY at the time. So we go to Lens Crafters by the mall. My wife and son waited in the car while I went in. So I'm sitting there, no glasses on while they are adjusting and doing whatever it is they do when I hear a voice that made my head turn. I couldn't really see other then a blurry man across the room, but the voice! So I actually leave the store and go out to the car to ask my wife is that is David Johansen. She said, "Who?". Buster Poindexter, she said, "Who?" The cab driver from Scrooged, "Oh... maybe". So I go back inside and before I get my glasses, he was gone. Not a great story, I know, but... So after I get my glasses we decide to go to Bed Bath And Beyond. Who should follow us in but Mr. David Johansen. We ended up shopping with David Johansen and his lady friend. It was so much fun, everything he saw was the most amazing thing he'd ever seen. He freaked out over towels! I don't think he ever really shopped before, seriously. So that's my David Johansen story.

Was encouraged by Tulli to post some of my original work here today for portfolio day. Besides GG20s, I'm also developing a cyberpunk story about a rookie cyborg boxer in an alternate 2001 Los Angeles in the style of late-90s anime.

I also have a side project, developing a video game idea on exploring the Pacific ocean and speculative marine sciences.

Also some posters I've done, including a piece I made for The Lovers.

i have suddenly become obsessed with a theme that HoO established but never proceeded to extrapolate on, which is:

You are Percy Jackson, and you have been swapped with a boy who was allegedly everyone's favorite person, but they have decided to replace him with you. They just met you. You stand next to his best friend and the people he's known his entire life. In his home. In his cloak. In his place. They stopped looking for him.

You are Jason Grace, and you have just found out you have a long lost sister who completely replaced you in her life with this girl you just met. Your lives and personalities are mirrors. She is you, living the life you were robbed of.

You are Annabeth Chase, and you have just become starkly aware that you have been inhabiting the void left behind by your best friend's long lost brother. You and Luke were just replacements for him. Now you have to look him in the eyes when he has nothing and know you took that life from him.

You are Piper McLean, and you have just found out your relationship is fake and built entirely on the memories of Annabeth Chase. You have been given a boyfriend when hers has been taken away. You have no idea how much of it is real or not but regardless you feel like if your relationship isn't exactly in their image that you have failed.

You are Leo Valdez, and you have just learned that you are the echo of your great-grandfather. You are not your own person. You just exist to be a mirror of him. A doppelganger. An actor and stunt double facing all the danger he never had to but wearing his face. To be there for his best friend decades later simply because he couldn't. You are playing a role. A seventh wheel and a pawn for a goddess who carefully sculpted your entire life for her own purposes.

You are Hazel Levesque, and the only reason you are alive is because your brother couldn't save your his sister. You are a consolation prize. An apology. Your existence here is misplaced in every way but you inhabit it anyways.

You are Frank Zhang, and you are a shapeshifter. Inhabiting your own body feels strange and clumsy when you could be literally anything at any time. You are anything and everything and live your life with the simple certainty of knowing exactly how you will die.
