QotD: Rubbing Elbows
As much as I'd like to say that everyone was a celebrity, I would like to share with you a little piece that I came up with:
It's best if our imaginations were a product of ourselves, rather than ourselves being a product of our imaginations.
It's probably better to dream that you were such a celebrity rather than be one, but I wouldn't know.
Anyways, yes, I've actually had a couple of run-ins with Robin Williams--he lives in San Francisco with his daughter, and was at Herb Caen's funeral. He's actually a pretty nice guy, come to think of it. It's funny because I don't really remember exactly what we said, but thinking, "Wow, I'm talking with Robin Williams, and, wow, he's just like another guy."
What I mean is, I don't think any celebrity IS a celebrity. They're all just people, like us, only they get seen more often than we do. We, the silent, background people probably have just as much talent and just as much going on. It just never gets publicized.
