I’ve always loved this movie. I find the “Fact from Depiction” part particularly close to my heart because in a lot of ways my stories of random everyday experiences follow this direction. I have a wild and vivid imagination and for whatever reason I seem to be in the wrong place at the right time. That coupled with my mini-adventures, a lot of books/journals I read and have read, my extensive travels and whatever useless knowledge I’ve stored away, I will always have something to talk about. My friends over the years have been subjected to my story telling tendencies. i.e. the necessity I have to include all the background information and my exact point of view of the event. I’m probably really bad at telling stories but I have a style and I’ve seem to have stuck to it.

I have a great friend who is very articulate. I often think of this person whenever I find myself not being so much. I would trade any one of my virtues talents in a heartbeat to be a little more eloquent and precise when I have conversations. I really work hard at it. This blog however will not see a moment of that effort.
