Familiar Strangers

The oddest thing happens to me at least twice a week...
I will be driving on one part of town, and in the back of my mind, I will mentally note someone: (ugly car, pretty girl, ugly boy, etc...)

Then, maybe an hour or two later, ill be on another side of town and see that same stranger, whether at an intersection, in a store, etc...

One comedian refered to this as "God running out of extras in the movie of my life."

The Matrix has you, man. I think it's just that we note something and are therefore more likely to notice it again. I've had it happen to me, too. Tis weird.

Jamison, you know I love you, right? You spelled "familiar" wrong, my friend.

I get that a lot too. In Strasbourg I used to not run into strangers again that often, but people I knew. With suburbs the city has like half a million people, yet a few times a month I'd stumble into a friend.

Weird.

I've never had that happen. Maybe I'm just oblivious.
