I guess I really do look like Prince


Back in middle school I used to get picked on for looking like Prince. It really bothered me then, but I've come to terms with it.

The other night, my roommates and I went to Toriko's (an izakaya in Kyowa) and a drunk-ass Japanese guy that bought me a few drinks told me that I reminded him of someone. He took a long, slow sip of sake and thought for a minute. His whole face lit up and he announced to the bar 'He look like Prince!'

Not to be outdone, some other guy said, 'No no no... he look more like Mr. Bean!'

Thanks guys. The Mr. Bean reference is a first for me, but I guess I really do resemble Prince in some way. American 7th graders and a drunk Japanese salariman can't be wrong.
