Yes, I Think I Will

So the mysterious Piano Man finally spoke. If you aren't up on the story, they found this man on April 7th soaking wet, but in a suit. While under inspection, he didn't speak but drew a picture of a piano which, when they brought it to him, he played quite well. So he just decided to start talking. When asked if he was going to speak today, he replied, "Yes, I think I will." Now he can go home.

I am amazed. I have a huge fascination with people who, unlike me, do not feel the need to divulge every aspect of their lives. I love people who can have something happen (like say read an article about the Piano Man) and not tell everyone they see about it. Naturally, at first I thought he was experiencing some trauma that was causing the silence. But to just not talk for a few months because... well, we still don't know! Oh, the delicious ambiguity!

If I had the willpower, I would love to just hush up for several months. I bet you'd get some Zen like understanding of the world or something. Unfortunately, this is not a practical pursuit in life and there's no way I could ever do it anyhow. I would love to be that mysterious for the briefest of times in my life though.
