This is very creepy. This morning while I took my time it get out of bed I was half watching a documentary on Van Gogh half trying to go back to sleep. Its my day off I'll take as much time as I need. During the end of the show they were talking about how some of his art was scattered around Europe during his life time. I happened to look over at the T.V. and they showing a portrait they looked ALOT like me when I was a little younger. And then I heard the narrator speak "Portrait of Doctor Ray." I was up at that moment. I've been known to go by "Rey" at times.
One of the things that happens in a lot of fiction involving time travel is some finds a picture of themselves in the past. I've spent nights thinking about how it could be done. So naturally I hit the net looking for a copy of this picture with no success. I ended up seeing if anyone in this chat room I was hanging out at could find it. A guy found one hit.
I spent a half hour looking it over seeing just how close it was to me. Then I saw it. He had my mole. Strangely enough when I flipped back to my chat window someone had posted another picture of the image:

Yeah, Doctor Felix Rey.
A little hunting down of the right name I found little information. Year of Birth, death and he was a doctor. Oddly enough he died 50 years before I was born. A man that looks like me with no past. This just got me digging more. I did how ever found a photo graph of him. In real life he doesn't look like me or that much like the painting. It was a fun afternoon anyway.
