Where did this come from?

I woke up after 2.5 hrs of sleep.  I can't sleep, so I decided to write up where my logo came from.  I was at a business networking group a few days ago and was listening to a speech/presentation on "tolerations" and how we all have them and how they affect our daily routines - especially our business operations.  The speaker also talked about how to deal with them.

So during the presentation, I started to "doodle" as I sometimes do on his worksheet cuz I had a nice new blue gel pen that puked ink all over the place.   I liked what I had started to do, so continued this flowing, circular, artsy-fartsy thing.  The 10 minute presentation was over, my doodle was done, and I was finished.  I took it home, scanned it - traced it with CorelTrace 11 (which is where the grey lines came from) and whipped it into shape using CorelDraw 11.

I don't really like it and it doesn't actually fit the look/feel of this website, but in a way I do, simply cuz it was done in about 10 minutes, so I'm stickin w/ it.

I dunno, maybe I was "tolerating" the guyz presentation by keeping busy.  Actually, i'm not knocking it at all and it was pretty good stuff.  Just thought it was kind of ironic.
