Rubbing Shoulders

I could never see actors to be more that what they were. People with jobs. I never really got star struck by anyone, except for Linda E. And that was only because she was iconic and she loved my eyes. But that's about it. Sometimes I do wonder what it would be like to trade places. Live their lifestyle. The jets, the cars, the free ticket to anywhere. Staying at the W. Vacationing in the South of France. But this morning I watched Lance 'Live Strong' 'I-Got-Testicular-Cancer' Armstrong's story on Oprah. And you realize that everyone, even stars can lose their balls if it's so fated. And Kylie? She almost lost those boobs. And in any case we are all destined to be worm food anyway. So why place stars on pedestals. You gotta admire King Fahd, who recently passed away. He got buried in an unmarked grave with commoners. See, the Muslim belief is that when you die, you die alone and death is truly the great leveller. We are not supposed to be vain, especially in death. And really, having a beautiful grave or tomb is just a waste of mulah. You are part of the human community and that's all there is to it.

PS. When you look at the picture with Matt, who looks better? Seriously.
