Normal vs. Robot Life Pt.1

Pt.1
It’s fair to say that I live two entirely different lives (neither are very exciting).
To clarify, I have never been treated for schizophrenia nor do I have multiple personality disorder. These multiple lives are differenced by physical, rather than mental ways (phew).
The first and most evident life of mine consist of the normal college kid from Boulder; sometimes he thinks he knows everything there is to know and he owns a rather gangly appearance. Little do people know that this normal college kid (albeit thinks he is different) usually goes home after school, makes himself a big sandwich, then steps into his bedroom to evolve into an entirely different being.
(reduced to show texture)

After dressing the gangliness in a ridiculous combination of bright colors, spandex and carbon fiber; that normal college kid enters into a fully evolved state. This new state may be mistaken for a robot that makes repetitive motions with the legs for hours and is entirely unrecognizable from his previous state. Once the repetitive motion of the legs has stopped, it is then safe to exit robot mode and assimilate back into the normality of college life.

This completion of physical evolution (for the day) comes with great responsibility. Is it morally and/or socially acceptable to tell your neighbor in class that you were one of those guys blocking a full lane of Folsom street this morning? In the opinion of myself that answer to the previous question would be a simple “no”. However, there are many people (especially in boulder) that live a similar split life. Little do you know that the cubicle/desk/computer/coffee shop adjacent to you is the home of an individual that experiences full evolutions of their physical self. You have all been warned,
