You're quite intelligent! That's a very interesting thought but too intellectual for my creative, imaginative mind. Sho WOW. You’re quite intelligent!

I don't believe in coincidences. Hey, your post made me think of something - I think we discussed this in my Art Appreciation class or one of my Math classes... There's an exact number of songs that can be created in the universe - I think you can solve it by permutation. That's why some new songs actually sound like old songs - they can have the same melody but still be different (which when you think about it, still makes them basically the same - am I making sense to you?). BTW, I really enjoyed reading your blog. I'll definitely be back. :D Hmmn… I don’t believe in coincidences.
