So I come to the most random realizations sometimes.
I was watching Chronicles of Riddick with some female friends last night, and they were remarking on how muscled and studly Vin Diesel is(Yes, it was awkward.). So I asked if I could make similar comments about the women in the film. Well, they said it was different because they are girls, but they did give me permission. But at that point I was struck by a realization. I really didn't find any of the actresses that attractive. And I suddenly related the reason for this to the Ontological argument for the existence of God(Strange, I know, but bear with me.) One of the major facets of this argument is that Reality is inherently better than anything created by our imagination(That's not the whole argument, that's for another post sometime.). So, a real apple is inherently better than the apple I'm thinking about. I may think that an actress is pretty, or that her character has a great personality, but that image on the screen or in a magazine or on a billboard will never be as attractive as the girl sitting across from me. Simply from the fact that the girl sitting with me is real. (And, you know, because she's actually sitting with me, and not thinking I'm a creeper or something. lol)
So... that's my thought for the day. I hope you enjoy.

Oh, and comments are great! Really. They help me know I'm not just sending this to the oblivion of cyberspace. Feedback is essential for writers. Not so much for musicians.(See... that was a joke! Haha)
