ツ The best compliment I ever got…

I just got this in email today in response to my 5 Fact video from JohnC. We were in AP Physics together and studied hypnotism almost 25 years ago. This is the most thoughtful compliment I have ever received.

Dave,

If I were to invent a new measurement scale, something akin to Richter’s measure of seismic force but applied to an individual’s relative uniqueness, you would undoubtedly be in the top 3 of everyone I have ever observed or encountered in my life. In 41 years, I’d estimate I’ve had the opportunity to know or briefly interact with at least 10,000 people, maybe more, so that puts you in some rare air. Since high school you’ve kept me entertained and guessing. I appreciate your curiosity and your willingness to share you interpretations of the world. Your interests are diverse, and ever-expanding. That, to me, is the sign of a soul that is truly living – not just someone that is passing the time. In the words of Robin Williams’ character in Dead Poet’s Society, you are gathering rosebuds while ye may. You are seizing the day, and it is good to see. I’m happy for you, my friend.

John

About the Author

I'm hooked on etymology, folklore, writing, live music, and making movies. I jam the axe and I'm currently learning how to beat the skins. I write cool software and meaningful screenplays. I like to drive fast with the top down in the rain with the music cranked. My tastes in TV, music, film, and literature are broad but obscure. I keep a journal, write screenplays, compose music, take many pictures, and create software. When camping at night, you can find me staring into the campfire either playing the guitar or telling a spooky story under the moonlight. I love thunder storms, Friday is my favorite day and my favorite number is 9.
