I am Simon (but not YOUR Simon)

by bryan on December 2, 2008

So I finally upgraded my Xbox to the new Xbox experience. Of course, the first thing I did was create my avatar. I was trying to make it as close to reality as possible because I’ve seen some people that bear an uncanny resemblance to their avatar. (According to Dennis, I failed– my hair is blond, no matter what I tell myself.)

Anyway, moving right along. When I was done with it, I was thinking, “Alright. Now that is me.” Or so it was at first. But after about 5 minutes of this annoying memory tickling my conscience, but just out of reach, it finally hit me: I am Simon. As in mySimon, the guy from Superbowl commercials of web bubble #1.

Take a look at these two:

Somehow not as threatening as the name

Somehow not as threatening as the name ImpendingFate implies...
