It would be nice if more people had the same name I think. I share the same middle name with someone on this board, which I find to be very companionable and nice, but I pine to meet someone with the same first name as me.

quotes about some guy's book my profound influence on ILX
"Mark Colemanâs words carry us along like a clear-running mountain stream into the beauty of nature, the power of silence, and the depth of meditative awareness. His great love of the wilderness opens us to the liberating dharma of the natural world."
"Mark Coleman shows us how mindful awareness tools can open the sacred book of nature and a help us to breathe the invigorating air of wakefulness, extending meditation far beyond the cushion and into the great outdoors of life itself."
"With simple, self-effacing clarity, Mark Coleman walks us into our senses. With such a guide, freshness of mind returns, and we rediscover a pearl of great price: the life-changing gift of pure attention."

When I meet other guys with my name they are always cuter and younger seem more like "drews" to me; I have not met nearly as many females with my name as I would expect, but maybe the moviestar Drew Barrymore has dibs on being *the* female Drew or something. Drew does not seem to me to be the name of an old person, really.

This probably isn't true: there are at least two actresses who go by this. (One is, umm, Parker Posey; the other is a little girl named Parker McKenna Posey who played Damon Wayans's daughter on his sitcom, presumably using the "McKenna" because of the other one.)

Another guy and I wrote a joke reviews-column for a while where my byline was Phil D. I still see some writer friends from those days, and they'll still call me Phil D. when we first greet. And then I showed up here and discovered there was another Phil D. in the world.

But as he faces what could be the final moments of his life, even his pitiful attempt at prayer is self-serving; "Please God please let me live."

I just checked on name distribution in the US via some ancestry website and there are only about 20 families with my surname in the US at all. So we're probably related to every single one of 'em. That's a lot rarer than I thought, for some reason.
