"Nothing can be so amusingly arrogant as a young man who has just discovered an old idea and thinks it is his own." - Sidney J. Harris.
I love to learn about history, and the more I learn, the more I know that there are very few new ideas under the sun...just ones I haven't heard before. I have definitely noticed this happening as the years go by...especially in fashion. The younger girls think they are the first to look so cool, but I wore virtually the same thing in the '70s...!
Of course it happens in every area... music/arts, science, politics, philosophy/religion...but I automatically think clothes because I am shallow and vapid...

I want my readers to know...
I love to write thoughtful, carefully crafted stories about my life, memories and aspirations... “narrative non-fiction” is what that sort of writing is called.
One of those aspirations was to have a reason to write those stories, and a place for others to read them.
That is the primary reason this blog exists. It is my place to make available the stories that live within me. It is my intention for this blog to be a reflection of myself and my interests.
I write strictly for my own pleasure (and hopefully your reading enjoyment). I do not get paid to write anything that appears on this site!
It’s all me – all the time.
That is my full disclosure…

Not that I've ever really heard much Paganini. Apparently he was a pianist subjected to the equivalent of today's papparazzi during his peak.
Hmmm. Paganini Paparazzi. Sounds like a bad band. Or a pizza parlor.
(By the way, I've added yours and scott's journal feeds to my own, which is http://graycie23.livejournal.com. I like livejournal because it is easy, albeit not independent or grown up, but oh well. Anyway, just dropping in again =))
Love your live journal - it has been added to the roster in my trusty google reader.
If you ever decide you want a proper blog - you know how to contact me. My family discount can't be beat!! Ask Gina, I only charged her a couple hundred for this....
