A Beautiful Mind?

I got around to thinking today, I notice a lot.

I notice things I doubt many other people notice. Maybe it's because I'm constantly looking for something. Something on people, something in people, and more than anything, something about people.

The other day I pulled up  to the stoplight and looked over at the car next to me. It was a man and woman sitting next to each other. The man wore fatigues and the woman had on a hoodie. Instantly my eyes darted to the woman's left hand. You see the woman was driving and had her hand on the wheel, I just wanted to see if these two were married. After focusing in I saw what appeared to be a small diamond poking up from behind her middle finger. That answered that question. From there my mind wandered to if in fact these two were married or if perhaps they were friends or even brother and sister... unfortunately the light turned green before I could break down the situation anymore.

Just today I realized that I remember a lot of things. Mostly things people say. They aren't significant life perspective type things either. They're little things people often say in passing, many times not even directed at me. Call it eavesdropping if you must, I prefer to think of it as listening for the little things. I tend to remember things I want to remember. And I also remember when someone I like speaks. So if I like you, and you're talking, bets are I'm listening.

Something brought this idea to mind a little while ago. I think it has something to do with people passing out senior pictures to everyone at school. I don't think I'll give any out, I don't think I'm very photogenic and I don't think a picture of me represents me that well.
This is the thing...
I may not be such a memorable face, but I feel I have a memorable mind...and after all the movie wasn't called a beautiful face was it? A beautiful mind trumps a beautiful face any day of the week and twice on Sunday. If you want a picture of me, ask. But I'd much rather have a good conversation.
