035 – Responsibilities

this is what comes up if you google image search the word

Today I was minding my own business at work, when a colleague informed me that i have “the same head as [Phillip Seymour Hoffman].” I’m not entirely sure what this means – his clarification insisted that if the backs of our heads were in close proximity, we would be brothers – but I don’t totally hate the comparison. Most often I get Seth Rogen; I guess my voice sounds like his, making the physical resemblance more obvious. The Rogen one is a comparison that I do not enjoy, and – even though Hoffman was not an attractive man – it is refreshing to hear something new. Because Hoffman was a true talent, gone too soon. Who knows what responsibilities drove Hoffman to the depths he reached, but that doesn’t really matter because I’m turning this non sequitur of an anecdote into a segue to my review of the day: being responsible.
