lol! But you have a story to talk about, which changes your conversation, right?
In another words, you'd have no comment like this, which wouldn't solicit a reply....
My point being: Even meeting people in positions of power, firsthand, changes the conversation and the memories we have, and the discussions we have.
For instance, I met David Schwimmer (From Friends), briefly, apparently he thought his sh*t didnt stink and he ran in front of me and my wife as we were on our anniversary, pushing us out of the way to get into a taxi cab. Another time, I ran into Jamie Lee Curtis while I was on my Honeymoon, at Four Seasons in Maui, she was staying there with her partner, I went to commend her for her role in True Lies, and instead she scurries away hiding behind her bodyguard. The people in power may often be jerks, or hide behind someone big. But then there's another time I was in the tube in London and having a casual conversation with Jamie Bamber (Adama from Battlestar Galactica), or another time my drunk buddy accidentally bumped into Cameron Diaz's arm at Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas, spilling her drink, and I offered to buy her another drink - apologizing profusely for him, but what was funny was - she didn't have anyone 'guarding' her, and she was down to earth cool.. She was like 'normal' folk, no one seemed to be bothering her. I understand why now, but it's nice having those random meets...
It's fun seeing public figures on the screen, then while you're out 'in real life' maybe having a discussion with one randomly changes everything. Zooey Deschannel for instance, something about her I just want to find out more about... Would not suck to have a random encounter with her...
So consider this. Maybe the effect of the prime minister meeting wasn't something that was 'intended' to have any effect on you until much later in your life... Like right now, for instance, hearing a story like this, or maybe even later, when you use the story of the prime minister meeting to reflect on what happened and say..
Well maybe, it did change some things...
Conversation, serendipitous meetings, getting out and about and socializing. Are all a part of what creates 'energy', stories, conversation, variety, and most of all... inspiration that these figures and their positions are 'within reach' of just about anyone, and much of what we see on television is... spin......
Talking heads create drama on tv, movies, radio, print media, books, and more... It's something that is sad because it never stops, there never seems to be writing and creativity for the sake of enjoyment anymore... But then you take one step outside the internet and 'spun' media and realize. Life's far crazier, and more fun, a story in fact. That's why I loved Paris. It just seemed spontaneously Creative. Vegas is starting to get like this too.., But Hollywood, and Politicians... All it takes is a little courage and reflection to understand - we're all in this together. If we don't act like it, then life's nothing more than an act.
Didnt we already have that chapter in the bible? And Numbers? Isn't it time we make a new chapter called... Love.. or Hope....
Not hiding and scurrying away...
