History

My high school teach showed us a portrait of Thomas Paine in AP History and I thought he looked like Richard Gere. He was handsome and so I liked what he wrote and read Common Sense. Strange, but I felt a connection to this person from another era. Actually, not strange at all.

Isn't he attractive?

This is E.M. Hemingway:

I have watched Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris multiple times and cannot get enough. And I totally have a crush on Hemingway's writing, now. Thanks to Corey S_____, I am now thoroughly interested in what the man had to write. A different perspective and suddenly his words make sense and I appreciate the excellent skill of his understated work.

Ironically, this film made me wish I could meet the people of other eras more ardently than I did previously. But the point is that we have to find satisfaction in the HERE and NOW.
So I have been noting any bits of brilliant hemingway-esque attributes in the people I know...none too many so far, but I'm still looking.


I'm in a writing mood. I feel like working on a novel. I think I shall.
