Alivn, Simon......Slimadore?



Have you ever come across the idea that some tv show character or personality is just like you? Or even that the character themselves is based off of you? Well, a LONG time ago,

Melissa MacNeal (http://melloland.blogspot.com/2006_02_12_melloland_archive.html) addressed this issue. And a few days ago, I discovered that I too had the same problem.

I am Theodore Chipmunk. Or maybe, he is me. I'm not sure.

A few days ago, while working another 13 hour shift, I began jamming out to a "Alvin and the Chipmunks" album of somekind that was on my Ipod. How it got there is up for debate, I'm not actually sure. In the middle of one of the songs, Dave (the leader/Father figure of the Chipmunks) is going throgh and speaking to each of them on how they did on the first verse.

Dave: That was very good Simon.

Simon: Naturally.

Dave: Very nice work Theodore.

Theodore: (annoying giggle sound that sounded very familiar)

Dave: Alvin you were a little flat, so watch there on the second verse there Alvin........um Alvin......ALVIN!

Alvin: OK!

To you, this may have just been the Chipmunks being themselves. But I'm telling you, I am Theodore Chipmunk.......and my brothers are possibly the Chipmunks (Josh as Simon, and Jay as Alvin) as well. The comparisons there are amazing: Jay was always the trouble maker who dragged us in with him. Josh was the brilliant one who just knew stuff that no one else heard off.

Anyway, here is the profile on Simon (http://www.chipmunks.com/bios.php) if you want to read it. Instead of reading Theordore's name in there, put my name in. I'm telling you we are the same guy. And we both have the same laugh.
