Danielbeast
I played dodgeball against Danielbeast tonight.
They beat us 5-1, but I took him out once or twice.
I wasn’t sure if it was him, especially from the other side of the court (and especially when immersed in the five D’s of dogeball: dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge!). After the game, when the high-fives & good games where complete, he happened to look over, so I said “Hey, are you Danielbeast?”
“Yeah!”, he responded, clearly happy with the notion of being recognized.
I replied “I thought so.”, turned around, and headed home. In hindsight, he clearly was willing to talk to a fan. Maybe, dig into the storyline of lonelygirl15 a bit. After all, he’s just been kidnapped, so now more than ever before, is his time in the spotlight. Maybe pose for a fan-photo or two. An autograph. Offer to buy him a beer.
Alas, I was only curious & none of those thinks really occurred to me.
As Jimmy said “I stole his glory.”
I wonder if this is what turns celebrities against the general population. George Clooney had to go through a long phase like that. Sure he’s A-list now, but there was a long period between his start & now. A random couple on the street might have noticed him 20 years ago, “Hey, aren’t you that guy who was in a few episodes of the Facts of Life?”
“Yeah, that was me, George Clooney! Want an autograph? Or better yet, I’ll pose for a picture!”
“Um, ah, that’s okay. We only have 5 shoots left in the roll & we’re saving them for this weekend. I was just I was arguing my wife that you where that guy from the Facts of Life, but she said no, you would have had a mustache then. I told her no, she was confusing you with Schneider, the plumber from One Day at Time, and that you where you.”
George, clearly crestfallen, “Oh, okay. I understand.”
“Thanks George. Good luck with the TV acting.”
After they turned around, I’m sure George cried a silent tear or two.
No wonder now he hates the paparazzi so much. Where were they then?

Yeah but lonelygirl wasn’t there… do people still watch that show? and isn’t it real?

I stopped watching it after it went all crazy with kidnapping & the like. They had an interesting story going, just with the coming of age, coming to terms with the religion of one’s parents, etc. Don’t know why they went crazy with the kidnapping/cult crap.
