Name Dropping

Horrible to listen to, surprisingly easy to do. Really, its weird how people can be so famous to others and not at all to some. I'm not talking about DJs, cool dudes, or beautiful girls. More like people you'd rather leave in the past with toe curling (excuse the pun re below) memories. The English philosopher John Locke, believed that at birth the mind was a 'blank page', that there was no prior or innate knowledge, anything we knew was through experience. I sometimes wish meeting new people could always be like that, that friendships could be based on nothing to do with upbringing, parties, mutual friends. Then again, it does make things a lot easier sometimes.
