My boy Jon and I had just finished our bike ride this morning when a funny thing happened. We’re chillin’ by this rest area when two white women ride up. They say hello and one says “Oh, you’re those two guys who just zipped past us…” So I partake in a little small talk with them while Jon is talking to some fellow alums he just met that minute. Then one of the women drops the bomb. Old girl says “Oh my gosh, are you guys twins?!” To which I say “Who? US?!?!?!” She says “yes”. I proceed to tell her that we’re just friends. Then she says “Oh, maybe it’s just that you have the same goatees.” At this point, I’m just like whatever. As you can see, we look nothing alike:<\/p>\n

![\"My](\"\/blog\/images\/jon_twin.png\")
<\/div>\n
It’s hard to tell from those pictures, but I’m a few shades darker than Jon. We’re almost the same height, but you’d have to be crazy to even think we were brothers, much less twins.<\/p>\n
This led me and Jon in to conversation about mistaken identity. He was telling me how was just on a recent trip to the Bahamas where many of the hotel guests thought he was either an athlete or a soap opera star. I’ve had people tell me that I look like Eddie Murphy, Busta Rhymes, and I’ve also heard that I had another twin who was an actor on a soap opera back in the day. But the capper had to be what happened a few years ago while I was on vacation in Maui. We were on one of those dinner cruises and these little kids kept staring at me. Their little eyes were fixed on me like some targeting system. Finally one got the nerve to ask me “are you a pro?” To which I said “a pro what?” He responded “aren’t you a basketball player?” I should have lied and told him I was Ray Allen or somebody, but I just told him no and rolled on. But what I really wanted to do was get all Eddie Murphy (from the Delirious\/Raw days) on him and say “What, a normal brotha can’t take a vacation?!?!” \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
I won’t even get into all the people that ask me what sport I played immediately after they find out that I went to Stanford. I’d be here all day with that topic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
