   ### - henry miller (the writer) had similar cold (blue) eyes and i enjoyed   
   'all' his work, he thus cuts through the crap and gets to the point of   
   life & living and the experience of 'being' alive - 2 of his works   
   standing out for being a bit different: 'The Air-Conditioned Nightmare' &   
   'Time of The Assassins' (both well worth getting stoned and   
   reading/contemplating for the cathartic vistas they repeatedly produce)

   ### - there clearly wasn't any 'thought' put into it, a knee-jerk reaction   
   on your part as you say, your default mode, no thought involved :)))

   ### - am just sayin' that intelligence isn't about how much a person   
   knows, so much as how fast they operate at :)   
      
   i mean, i know you're not unintelligent, you're definitely not dumb... but   
   you 'are' slow on the uptake sometimes... and the only way i can explain   
   this contradiction is to say/suggest that you have 'blind-spots' in   
   certain areas that most people don't have any problems with; similes,   
   analogies & metaphors in particular making it difficult to say/suggest   
   anything of a 'poetic' nature to you...   
      
   the problem being, that imho (and experience) life itself is something   
   that can't 'be' accurately expressed/described in cold, hard, factual   
   terms without leaving-out/omitting 96% of the equation, the   
   universe/cosmos clearly being more than just a bucket of nuts & bolts job!   
      
   that in that sense, the cold, hard eye can be very useful indeed in   
   cutting-through the nuts & bolts part of it all (the purely material side
