there is a guy running around the philippines with my name...

I'm pretty sure he didn't steal it (or my identity) but it's pretty weird...

I think it's a little weird when someone else in the room shares just my first name, let alone my first and last name...

I think there are a few more guys that also have my name.

I'm not saying that I have exclusive rights to it (my name), but I guess since I have not done anything of any significance as of late, I shouldn't expect to find myself when I google myself.

it is the one thing that I share most readily with people... it probably the one thing I own that other people use more than me.

go figure.

I've found some limits...

I can't sit around talking about art all day. I just can't. I can look at it all day... and mostly internalize what it is I see, but it's just not something I can explain to you, because, to me, viewing art should be something that evokes emotion...There is a lot of symbolism in art, which leads me to believe that it is for more educated people.

fine.

but even those people have to be told what it is they are looking at...

before they were told, they were just like everyone else who didn't know that a puppy means an innocent yet excited devotee, or that a mirror represents God's all-seeing eye...

in any case, although the artist had a specific motive for creating, it does not mean that a personal interpretation is in any way incorrect... just different.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder. if everyone agreed about everything, then what would be the point?

I can listen to music all day.

actually I do, but a lot of the time, it is just whatever is in my head. If I had spent more time practicing and paid more attention to my musical theory, then I probably would be able to better transpose that which is in my head to something a little more solid... and repeatable.

but there is always a beat.

I cannot just watch tv all day.

there are days in which I have, but there is almost something else going on at the same time. so that basically means that I'm not just watching tv, but doing something else.

I've never attempted to eat more than a quart of ice cream in one sitting. one sitting usually meaning less than 15 minutes. I can usually pound a quart in less than 10, but 15 is a good number up to which I can round.

I'm not sure if I could eat more than a quart. but I guess you never know until you try.

I found a third person with whom I share a birthday. you'd think it's not that big a deal, but the first time I met someone that shared my birthday was when I was a freshman in college.

but you know what? I think I'm just a little crazy.

... ... ...

by the way, did I tell you that I found someone with my name running around the phillippines?
