GL W4 David meets David

      "The memories I retain of that first year have imprinted themselves on all subsequent experiences" This is an epic quote. I just want to say that posed with myself. The real statue of David was so amazing. Every inch was thought out and perfected perfectly. Michelangelo had a feat of man when he created a perfectly proportional  17 Ft. statue of me... I mean David. Very easily could the statue have been a person covered in marble. And by this I mean that every vein and every muscle that was in David was where it was supposed to be. The hands had veins the biceps had veins, if it started to move I don't think I would have been surprised.
       Ever since I was a kid who understood what the statue was I have wanted to see it. I personally have overcame my Goliath and now I see some strange parallel between my name and experiences of the previous owner of my name. Bizarrely enough I will probably dream about seeing the statue for the first time. I'll just justify it because we have the same name and something on my bucket list can be checked off. I still cant believe the amazing artistry that went into the statue. REMEMBER there are NO erasers in marble carving... or glue if you happen to chop off a finger you get to start the 2 year project all over.
      Alright so enough about my man-crush on a statue (I'll mention it at the end of my blog.) The two readings were very contrasting and I liked it. My opening quote from Muriel Spark says something very powerful to me. To me it says that no mater what, whether or not I loose my mind or I remain completely the same throughout my life I will remember I saw Italy. We will be able to say We say Venice if it gets destroyed by water in our life time. I'll even get to say that I saw myself in statue form! One event never dictates your life like the second author let it do.

     Well would you look at those two handsome devils. I managed to work David into this blog two more times. Even though I couldn't take my picture with the real David, because some jerk spray painted him, I did take it with the fake David. But believe me I got pictures of the real one. This is the time we will never forget. Things may become more faded but will never be lost. The quote that I started this blog off with is a quote that I wont forget about.
