Day #66: The Evil Twin

Sometimes I wish I had an evil twin.

Allow me to explain.

Throughout this process there have been times where I've seen something absolutely ridiculous (admittedly, on my Facebook feed) and I feel compelled to respond.

If there's one good thing about Facebook, it's that it alerts us to how much stupidity there is in the world and allows us to respond to it by putting up passive aggressive statuses.

Unfortunately, I no longer have that option.

As a writer, I imagine the solution--an evil twin.

A mean version of me who can walk around saying whatever he wants and it won't matter that everybody hates him, because there will still be Good Me, which I suppose would be me.

I don't actually need to be the one standing up in the face of stupidity all the time, I just need SOMEBODY to, and it always seems like there never is anyone.

Luckily, my friend Andrew takes up that torch most of the time, and so I've started a new Twitter account (Name: ALLMYGAYFRIENDS) chronicling everything he says as a way of putting it out into the Universe and out of my head, since eerily enough, most of the time Andrew and I are thinking the same thing.

For now, he'll have to be Evil Kevin, until that sheep I cloned learns to talk.
