Heads Up!

Today I met Glenn Beck.  I was in the Deseret Book in the Layton Hills Mall and bought his book and was the last person in line to shake his hand as he scribbled a few initials in my book.  I walked away with a smile on my face cause I really enjoy listening to him and I've never really met any celebrities.  He would be on top of my list.  Being the last person in line presents a predicament: Do you try and start conversation about something you want to talk about with him and risk being shoved away by security or do you just do your thing, smile and say thank you?

I chose the latter.  It really wasn't about the autograph, or about the book, it was about the person.  You want to say "Hey Glenn! Its me! Luke!  Dont you remember me?" Because you feel like you know the person from watching them on tv, but to them you are just another smiling face. Another bloke that has a book in his hand.  Meh.  Live and learn.

I think I was mostly frustrated with the entire experience because of the response I got after my 3 seconds with him.  I got "thumr borumr" in very very soft tones.  Now I understand that he talks for a living and that he was probably saving his voice, but it gave me a bitter sweet thought about the experience.  I just wanted some diction.  Its not too much to ask for!  

I bought your book!  Give me one audible word at least!
