Celebrities

Working up at Sundance has given me a unique oppertunity to meet some "famous" people. At first it was a thrill, an absolute joy to meet them. I felt overwhelmed "in the presence of greatness". But as more and more come in, after 1200 pizza runs, after hissy fits about snow covered walkways, Ive come to realize that they are not all theyre made out to be. What do they really offer society. Nothing! For the most part they are a continuation of the High School popularity game on a much bigger level. They have no marketable skills or agenda for change. They are like waves of the ocean. When theyre comming we say, wow, thats big; and they are big for a while. Then they come rolling in in all theyre fury and fizzle out to nothingness. Remembered only by their deaths. And just like the wave we can be sure that another one will come rolling in and another after that.
