That's not me in my profile picture. The lady in the picture is named Maria, and she is my girlfriend. I thought it necessary to tell you all about her because she is great and I know that you all like great things. Maria is great in the sense of being better than good and equally the best, which I think makes her wonderful. On top of it all, she is a great idea.

Great ideas are floating all around us. It's funny, too, because searching for them is like really hard. Searching for a career for me has also been very hard. But Marie has been there for me, and because she's so great everything else is distant. I like to harvest ideas sometimes...ideas that lie in my near or distant future that may or may not ignite my passions. The act of searching for anything, though, I feel is misguided. It seems that the best things in life are free, unexpected, and invaluable. The most important Lady in the Picture is a citable example.

But why does this matter to you or anyone else? Keyword: matter. I use my brain matter. I use it like a sieve to filter out all of the great ideas that don't apply to me. Sifting through all of the visual noise itself, like advertisements and traffic and computer screens is such a task. We aren't meant to be exposed to all of this. Everyone is blind and deaf who lives in New York City - I'm pretty sure that's true but it's just an inference. But if you don't mind, than it doesn't matter. That means focus.

The Lady in the Picture is similar to the idea of the scope, which is great. She can be a telescope, or a miscoscope. Macroscope or Oscilloscope. She sees things on different wavelengths and is their interpreter. It's really crazy and I think many women can do it. Sometimes women sound more like syllables thrown in a blender, but that's because men aren't so multi-channeled. Still, she is a sieve, and a blender, and a toaster. She's the kitchen because wherever she is is the hottest room in the house. That's a metaphor...also something hard to find through a search. Bottom line is that good ideas should just come to you. The Lady in the Picture came to me, so I bring her to you.
