I'm not sure why this news struck a chord with me, but it did. After I read it, the story kept going over and over in my mind. Finally it hit me, just like the rest of us Nefertiti was two-faced.

This is a common syndrome among humans...we all tend to be two-faced. No, I am not referring to the rare syndrome of having another head attached to the back of yours, as is common with so-called "Siamese Twins." And I am not referring to the common attribute of mothers everywhere of having "eyes in the back of their heads"

No, I am referring to the well-known syndrome of acting totally differently depending on our audience. Of being Two-Faced.

For example, often we act one way for our immediate family members, and totally differently for other people. For one group of people we may act kindly and thoughtful, while for another group we are abrupt, and rude. If asked about us, one group may swear that we are the nicest persons on the face of the earth, while another group swears AT us, declaring how rude and obnoxious we are.

And truthfully, none of us want to be-two faced. We WANT to be kind and patient to all, yet we find that some types of people just plain drive us nuts. I myself am afflicted, sigh. I WANT to be known as a nice, thoughtful, peace-making sort of guy. Yet, at times, I am a real pain in the backside. I know this. I only wish I could change myself. I try.

I know that at times I am not at all thoughtful, patient or kind. Sometimes--especially if I am attacked for my peculiar brand of humor--I become a bit irate. I have been known to ruthlessly poke fun at the attacker. I SHOULD be tolerant and patient. I SHOULD be conciliatory, and apologetic. I SHOULD welcome dissenting opinion and placate the commentor. But, I don't. Rather, if the person rambles on with multiple misspelled, badly punctuated sentences, I have been known to lampoon the person and point out their--to me--idiotic constructs.

Do I myself wished to be treated that way? Of course not. If I comment on the blog of another I wish to be listened to politely...to be placated and apologized to. But will I apologize in return? Maybe, maybe not. I am two-faced.

But aren't you glad we are ONLY two faced? What if we were four-faced, or five-faced? We often speak of a person being a "block head," presumably like a square block. So they could have at least "four faces" on their block, plus one on top. Or if they had an eight-sided
octoblock then they could be NINE-faced, (eight sides plus the one on top). What an interesting construct THAT would be.

Hmmm, suddenly being two-faced does not sound so bad. I just wish my "other face" didn't eat so much, I am fat enough as it is.

How many "faces" do YOU have?

What are the most number of faces you have seen on one person?

Do your "other faces" have an appetite of their own?

PLEASE, would you leave a comment? I read and answer all comments, usually within the hour. Of course I DO log off now and then, to sleep, eat, and take care of OTHER bodily functions; though sometimes I just do them at my desk. I'll leave you to figure out WHICH.

See? The comments and my answers are sometimes funnier than the original posting! Hearing the thoughts and crazy comments from my readers, and thinking up totally nutty responses are what make this blog really fun!

So, would you please read the comment section, and leave a note of your own? C'monnnnn, I know you are shy, so just use "Anonymous" as your name...gowaaaannnn, you KNOW you wanna!
