Who Am I?

Do you ever wonder if you're a different person? Not that you've changed, but that maybe more than one person inhabits your body?

Several years ago I was looking through old video tapes without labels I found one that was really strange. It was a bunch of things I had taped and mashed together. Bits from videos, ,commercials, tv shows...just a lot of stuff that had been recorded.

I remember thinking it would be a good idea, then I remember recording one of the videos. But there were hours of this stuff. Several tapes full of it. I didn't remember recording all of that.

The same thing has started happening recently. I've been renting from netflix. It's not like the video store where you just go and get something that day. You have a queue, a list of movies they are going to send you. Mine ususally hovers around 100. The strange thing is when I get a movie and I don't remember why I added it to my queue or why.

I got this movie, Intacto, and I can't figure out why. I don't remember adding it. It doesn't seem like something I would normally like. No one reccommended it to me. Sometimes I can figure it out, like I recently recived Fright Night Horror Classics: Vol. 2. I dug around a little and figured out that it was because Dementia 13 is on that. It's been reccomended by several people and also Francis Ford Coppola directed, so that makes sense.

There are others though that make me wonder about my sanity. There's a documentary about Noam Chomsky, several b movies Burt Reynolds made in the 70's like "Gator". Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. Why would I rent that? I hate those sappy Jimmy Stewart movies. The entire series of My So Called Life. I've seen all of those several times.

Who rented this stuff? Obviously it was me, but what was I thinking?

Have you seen "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" yet? Maybe you pay a visit to Lacuna Inc. far too often?
