and yet anything that i COULD be writing will most likely have already been thought of and written by somebody else. thus diminishing the creativity and authenticity of my own ideas. i thought of them, but someone else thought of them first. so are they really mine and is there really true creativity?

Petey: i realized before that you are not in both pictures, that does not diminish your good looks.

oh! a very good book i'd recommend: house of sand and fog. kind of reminds me of our discussion about how japanese-americans were alienated during ww2 (story is about a clash between an immigrant family and a white woman)
