Sometimes, while I work, this thoughts come to my mind. They are funny things that resemble a lot the kind of things I used to think about when I was a child. It's a game of "what do I look like?" I've played this with myself several times during my life. The good thing about it is that I always have a different look. I'm always doing something different. So, it's a blast.
Lately, since I have stopped having stupid thoughts about selfies, I have taken some while I work because my hair looks funny, or I'm wearing something odd. Today, I was using my mask for the first time. My head hurt because of man-bun, so I decided to set my hair free. I saw my reflection and started laughing. This haircut is something funny. With the mask, I almost looked like a Cyberpunk Character.
I love sci-fi. This kind of look came just as something to make my day. I didn't hesitate and took the picture and also made an Instagram story out of it. I'm missing some neon lights, body augmentations (I'd totally get a bionic eye and some cool hand with a lot of gadgets). Also, I believe I'd need to have a fluorescent hair (maybe some pink hue, who knows). And of course, I wouldn't be a cyberpunk guy without some leather. That's very important.
On a side note, I love this mask. I think I could wear it to go out and stop worrying about my allergies.
This got me thinking and I went around my facebook looking for some of the pictures that resonate with this idea of "I look like this". These are the ones that made me laugh a lot.
This one came from a bowling alley in town. I was helping my friend (the little curly girl next to me) with an activity for her new English Academy. We lost the game. However, I would end up joining this team and teaching there. It was one of my few good teaching experiences. So, I dressed as a teacher and then became one.
This is a good one. During VenTESOL's English Summer Camp in 2016, I had no idea how to dress up for this retro night. My aunt lent me this shirt. I saw myself in the mirror and thought that maybe I could pull something up. So, I didn't cut my hair and this was the look. I think besides that time I had a cut for the last year of college, I haven't had a cut that eliminate my curls. They were quite the buzz in the camp. This also got me into dressing as however the hell want to. I think I look like a tropical Weird Al.
Do you know that kind of guy that always brings his guitar to all events? Well, during some time in college, I was that guy, but with a Venezuelan Cuatro instead of a guitar. This picture came shortly after the Summer Camp I think. My hair was still long, so I wore a pony tail. You know to fit with the phony guitar guy look. Oh, those were the days! I still bring instruments anywhere. It's even truer now that I craft them.
A day of wonders as we went to this exposition of Children's Literature before it was opened to the public. A paradise for a Literature Student.
I look like that hot Spanish teacher that was your crush in high school. Don't worry, you don't have to spill the beans. A lot of girls, including the ones in the picture used to tell me I would be a hit in High School because of my looks. Unfortunately, I never went into teaching that because I would need a haircut because women can have long hair, but men aren't allowed. That's a teaching sort of convention. Pretty weird, don't you think? I remember those days. I had the privilege to be the only guy among all these smart women (including the teacher). Well, at least, I still have it in photo.
Do you ever look at your attire or daily look and think about this? Are there any funny stories about a picture you have dress as something that led up to something of the same nature? Do you mind sharing?
