Twice in a lifetime I chickened out
Arrrghhh I cannot believe this, I chickened out, yes me, the most outgoing whacky crazy guy my kids know and I CHICKENED OUT!!!
What you may ask did I chicken out of doing?? Simply saying "Hello"
And who to? you may ask.. why none other than the one and only Mr. Robin Williams!!!!
Today my sister and I were shopping for my dad's 75th Birthday at HMV and right behind us in the lineup, was Robin Williams!!! I was starstruck, and as we walked away my sister said "whaa-aa-at" and I told her look... she did not notice at first as he was dressed super casual and in sunglasses and asked me "what about him?" and I said... "Thats Robin Williams" to which she reacted "Oh my G*D!! itis!!" Well We stood there dumbfounded as he left the store, walking right by us and I stood there like a slack jawed yokel... ME!!
But the worst part is this is the second time in my lifetime that this happened to AND WITH THE SAME PERSON!! Over 20 years ago I worked near the Sandman inn on Georgia and was having dinner there in the pub (alone) and he was there having a drink (I guess) alone and I also did not approach and say hello... again, starstruck and did not want to bother his privacy.
Still I am bothered by not at least introducing myself and telling him today to check out what I just launched:
www.laughatlunch.com
I bet he would have been able to give me the most awesome of advice on it!!
Anyway, Mr. Williams if by chance you ever read this, I apologize for my dumbfounded look and am still one of your biggest fans!!! Oh and if you are ever in Vancouver again I would be honoured for a chance to say hello!!
