Where were YOU?
|
Where were YOU? When I was 16 or 17 I bought 2 tickets to a concert, my first concert…of a great many  Well, it wasn’t a band concert but it was at a venue with a stage, lights and a lot of audience. I asked my uncle to go with me because he had wheels and I didn’t, LOL! But he was cool and I knew we would have fun so I wasn’t worried about it  I told him on the way I was going to go as long as I could without laughing…we were seeing a major comedian playing at San Diego State University Open Aire Amphitheater. Uh, yeah…that lasted about 5 seconds  Like subsequent comic shows I missed about half of the material because I was busting a gut open I followed his career from stand-up through television and the big screen. There were only a few of his movies I did not care for but for the majority of his work I was a big fan. No matter his role, his performance was quality. Always a professional, giving and caring, putting 100% into his efforts. Quite the versatile performer indeed. I will never forget being at the T/A truck stop in Earle Arkansas, parked and done for the day. Having finished my shower I ventured into the restaurant for some delectable edibles. As I entered I was sidetracked by the attention to the news story on the TV so I stopped and began to also pay attention. I was dumbfounded. Beside myself. Drawn aback. Awestruck. Numb  If not for the environment I would have most likely broke down and cried, as it was it was difficult to hold it back. After about a half hour I realized I needed to eat but really didn’t feel hungry or even feel like eating, with a somber attitude I got some food and headed back out to my truck.As I ate and even after finishing I tried to distract myself from the news story but I found myself remembering comedy bits as well as scenes from movies and TV. Extremely difficult to not smile or laugh remembering some of his better material. I would like to take this opportunity to ask that you take some time today, the 11th day of August, and watch a movie or maybe listen to one of his live stand-up performances and laugh and enjoy! Spread the word to your family and friends so that everyone can take the opportunity to enjoy one of the great works by Mr. Robin Williams. Sorry this is a “read only“, but I just wanted to pop in real quick and make this post. The illustration below is an original drawing by a good friend of mine, she has her own website and does a lot of great charity work with her art.  Everyone is on a different plane of intelligence. Some people's plane has not taken off yet!!  |
