“I Don’t Know…Who Am I…”

There was a guy my friends and I knew in college who had a variety of different identities. I don’t think he really knew this as much as we did. We even gave the identities their own names, talked about it over lunch and cracked up the food service guy in our college cafeteria. After a few years I am going to attempt to remember the names: Ghetto Tony= T-Money, Preppy Tony= Anthony, Skater Tony= ? and regular Urban Outfitters Dressing Tony= Tony.

My point in rehashing this memory is to say, how cool would it be to have different identities? Seriously. I already attempt this sometimes but really do not pull it off so well. For example I try to dress all hippie-like when I go to music festivals or certain concerts. The fact that I now have a tattoo is really going to help that identity look more authentic. Upon consideration, I don’t think I have any others.

Let me clarify something. I am not talking different personalities per se, that would make me a little crazy. I am more talking fashion-wise. Slap on some shades and hoop earrings and call me Miami DW. Birkenstocks and organic beer by a camp fire and label me Tree Hugger DW. Maybe I’m feeling a little sassy. Throw on a sleek dress and some heels and you can find me at the “it bar” as Metropolitan DW. I’m heading to a concert. Bartender? Send me a PBR and check out my skinny jeans. I’m Hipster DW.

Maybe I’m weird. Or possibly I need to “find myself.” But if I may get deep on you blog readers, I feel there are parts of me that are a little of each of these things. I guess I try to live in balance with all of my interests. A little bit of ying and a little bit of yang. However, I do not go too far with any of these looks because I fear I may look a fool. My friends would probably look at me and say, “ummm what are you wearing? That is so not you.” Also, now that I think about it, I probably have to get more of a life and actually go to places whose attendance isn’t limited to middle class college graduates who look like a scene from an American Eagle catalogue. That could help.

In conclusion, I am really tired today and writing blog posts to refrain from doing work. Therefore, I apologize if this post makes absolutely no sense. But also, I’m a little bit serious.
