You Look Like Ed Zachery....

Why is it when you are explaining someone's physical appearance you feel obligated to somehow compare them to a celebrity?

Is it because you're to freakin lazy to give an accurate description of the person?

Maybe its because you want to pretend like you are popular and you know someone who looks like so n so.

I personally have always enjoyed someone talking to me and then all of a sudden they turn there head like a dog and with an astute observation that they just realized, they advise you who you look like completely ignoring your conversation and cutting you off with a .....

"Hey, you know you look like...."

"Has anyone ever told you - you look like..."

"You look like .... in that movie....."

"Oh my God it's like talking to....."

First of all, don't interrupt me because everything I have to say is important and I need your full undivided attention.

Second, I don't look like the celebrities, the celebrities look like me.

Here are the celebrities I've been told I look like in no particular order.


Frank "Ponch" Poncherello from the T.V. show CHiPs played by Erik Estrada.

I use to love this TV Show. I think Ponch looks more like my Tio (uncle) Sal. I've always wanted to be a CHiP because I enjoyed how they would get a call in the middle of lunch and they would throw it away as they ran to the motorcycles. The call was always for a 17 car pile up....I've always wanted to do that so being compared to Ponch is a compliment. Now a days I see Erik Estrada on local TV networks desperately trying to sell real estate for property that most likely doesn't even exist. That sorta worries me as I can see myself in the future trying to sell used Lawn Mowers.



Oscar De La Hoya, "The Golden Boy"

Even though Paul Hamm has a deeper voice than this former Gold Medal winner, I use to take being compared to him as a complement. Now that he constantly gets his ass kicked more than Whitney Houston, I'm thinking I would like to forget about ever being told I look like Oscar. The fact that he actually recorded an album making him look like a doofus doesn't help the situation either.

Retire Oscar...you're embarrassing the Hispanic community.



A Nascar Driver

I don't remember which Nascar driver I was told I looked like because quit frankly, nobody cares about Nascar except for the people that can sit for hours watching cars go around in circles. Watching cars go around in a huge circle? That is so exciting! I decided to add a picture of various drivers and maybe one of them will stick out as the one I look like. I've always wanted to look like a white trash-mac N cheese-eatin-toothless Nascar driver.

Or maybe the person who told me I looked like a Nascar driver actually meant I looked like the Beaner that gasses up the car on a pit stop.



A Latin Jim Carrey

He's tall and gangly with big teeth to go along with his big mouth. I think this might be the most accurate resemblance of me yet. I mean, I do have a big mouth and I am gangly and most importanly...I'm special. When I was younger I wasn't allowed to sit across from the window during dinner because I wouldn't eat as I was making faces in the reflection of the window. That is a true story. I was forced to sit with my back to the windows....I was deprived growing up.



RJ Helton of American Idol Season 1

Judge 1 "Awwwright dawg, you just didn't do it for me...I mean, I see the resemblance but I know you can do better than that dawg."
Judge 2 "I think this is one of the best comparisons yet. You still could do better, but I feel you did an amazing job tonight."
Judge 3 "You're an idiot. TIMMY! looks nothing like him. He's a teenager, and he's short. I've seen better comparisons of Robert Redford & Farrah Fawcett to a bag of beef jerky."



A Backstreet Boy...not anyone in particular, but I've been told I belong in the Backstreet Boys

Wow, being compared to 35 year old guys who cater to 15 year old girls has always been a dream I've had. Maybe I could pass as a Jim Carrey Backstreet Boy.



I've been told I look like "that guy"

I've been THE Grody Guy, but who the hell is "that guy"? Maybe being "that guy" is better than being "this guy". Still, why can't I just be TIMMY!?



Freddie Prince Jr.

How sad is it when I'm being compared to a cartoon type of caracter? Times have gotten low when I'm compared to a shaved Freddie Prince Jr. though I can take into delight that his last name is Prince which sorta is like me.....only sorta like me cause I'm not a prince, I'm a King.



Chayanne - Latin Singer/Actor

Most of you won't know who he is...actually, only about 3 of you will know who he is, but I've been told I look like him. I think the pictures of him speak for themselves in showing the resemblance....err, maybe not.



JFK Jr.

This was a nice comparison when he was alive. But now I feel like someone is making fun of me when they compare me to JFK Jr. The dude is dead for Christ's Sake and I'm told I look like him. Wow, thanks.....errr, I think.



Maybe someday people will say....Hey, You look like TIMMY! Then people can put my picture up on their website.
