Mine is the surname of the lead character of one of my favourite films; "David Holzman's Diary." In fact my whole profile is based on this. the 67 is the year the film was released, 1967.
I chose this because of the subject matter of the film. David Holzman is a character trying to make sense of his life and so he gets the idea to start filming all aspects of his life in an attempt to make sense out of rewatching it. He begins obsessively doing this and his life only unravels further as he is constantly sticking his camera where it is unwanted and even divulging in voyeuristic behavior.
In this day and age of video blogs, first person youtube videos and people's obsession with photographing and documenting all aspects of their lives and broadcasting it so freely, I feel that the film is perhaps even more topical today than it was when it was first released. The name seemed to fit. I've thought about changing it, sure, but I feel I kind of have an identity here now with it.
Is there any meaning behind your username?
