Gray Matter

i was working on this at the skate park, sitting on a skateboard under a tree next to the bowl. two kids on their racing bikes interrupted me by saying "Hey. Are you an artist?". I looked up at them, holding back the many thoughts that went soaring through my mind... and stared at them for a couple of seconds, almost too many seconds to where they looked confused... i then replied.. "Well thats really all down to the individual perspective, now isn't it?" One of the kids looking taken back says... "Well, Uhh... Do you like to draw?" i replied "I like to create and sometimes yes i enjoy creating by drawing". The other kid then said "Well... we think you are an artist!" I just let it go and shrugged and said thanks... then told them where they could go if they wanted to see more of my work, and they said okay, but still looked a bit puzzled by my response.

I smiled and got back to my creation.

from wikipedia...
The function of grey matter is to route sensory or motor stimulus to interneurons of the CNS in order to create a response to the stimulus through chemical synapse activity. Research has shown that the amount of gray matter in a brain is positively correlated with human intelligence.
