Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you&#039;re really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I&#039;ve got a few missing. It&#039;s ok though, because I&#039;ve got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation.. so when I meet someone who&#039;s an 8-color type.. I&#039;m like, hey girl, magenta! and she&#039;s like, oh, you mean purple! and she goes off on her purple thing, and I&#039;m like, no - I want magenta! <br /> John Mayer
