My Left Hand

There is a movie called "My Left foot" which I've seen a long time ago and liked very much. Daniel Day-Lewis starred in the movie and he became my favorite actor at that time. All of these movies I've seen when I was younger, I have to see them again. I'm sure I would feel differently if I see them now. I have more experience and (hopefully) got smarter now, so I guess I would understand or notice more stuff in a movie. But then, I'm probably losing a certain kind of susceptibility which you only have when you are young and my movie viewing will never be perfect anyway ;-?

Well, I wasn't thinking about writing about a movie...
My topic was my left hand -- I've been intensively using my left hand recently. Maybe I never used my left hand this much before in my life. I'm right-handed :)
I'm using my left hand now because I started playing a guitar and driving a motorcycle. In both activities, you use your left hand a lot and I can see my progress in using my left hand. Now I'm wondering if I use it a lot, my right brain will be stimulated and I become more creative :-?

There are quite a few left-handed people around me. Of course, I have more right-handed friends, but it seems like I have more left-handed friends compare to when I was younger. I wonder if Japanese schools still force the left-handed students to become right-handed (or make them be able to use both hands). Maybe not anymore...?
Anyway, in my personal opinion, most of the left-handed people that I know are relatively creative. .. Or it is just my prejudice against left-handed people and I assume they are creative :P well, either way.. it is still kind of fun to develop a part of your body and see the progress. I'm sure a part of my brain gets stimulated and it will have a good effect even if it doesn't lead to creativity ;P

Hmm... I'll do more research on a relationship between the left hand and creativity.
