Celebrities are People Too! ❤️

Yes, “ celebrities are people too!” as that is a direct quote from ME. More on that soon…. So, I looked up once again and noticed how not ever in these almost 10 years had I used the word celebrity or even famous in a title, not once. Hard to believe but true. It’s mentioned in my book and of course gets shared in these writings, but not in a title. Another first on my end, how about that?

OK, so back to that quote above. Of course they are people too but not with us regular folk lifestyle. My most recent dream depicted this while I was coming to Warrior’s aid. To preface, I’ve been doing some painting in our new home with more to come. Just touchups inside but our dining room needed a new coat on the one wall. Living room is next. I’ve tried many times to match with their leftover paint in the basement but to no avail, 😑 UGH! Looks like more paint is in order as the spot bugged me big time. So, just keep this in mind as I share the latest dream. I have to say though, I had not seen anything on TV or around that pertained to another celebrity in this dream. Nope, not at all and no prior “likability” factor in that way for this actor either.

Here it is…. In the dream I was married to the actor~~~ Owen Wilson with two kids! WHAT? Where did THAT come from? Sure, I love a lot of his movies, especially “ Wedding Crashers” but come on! No idea on this but that’s what I saw. Anyways, Warrior has come to live with us for a bit. No idea on that either as to the why? Was he a friend who became down on his luck after wrestling? It’s not like he was an exchange student through school or anything, ha! His look, though? That pic below, EXACTLY. So glad I found it again on media. The photo was taken before he got his arm tattoo that someone (as I still don’t know who…) took a pic of him in the chair. It has circulated for ages but I had to find it to use today.

My “husband,” ya know~~~ Owen Wilson seemed a little jealous with Warrior there, as I’m sure he connected to me somehow. I told him it’s all good, only a few days, no one will know, etc. The kids were young and loved having him around, but their “ Dad” was simply trying his best. Warrior was outside in our front yard working on a project. He looked like that pic, I’m telling ya readers. I think Owen was probably like Steve Carell’s character in “ Date Night” when he constantly says to Mark Wahlberg’s character: “ For the love of God, put on a shirt!” Do you know that movie? Oh, that could’ve been a great title today too! I disagree though… 🤭😂 What project was he doing you could be wondering? He was painting. Remember, he was an artist. This wasn’t quite the “masterpieces” you may know of him creating. What I saw was a wooden chair. Maybe it was some piece of furniture of his, no clue. I was chatting with him outside (no worries Owen…) but then we were discovered by photographers or the media of some kind. Warrior had been out of wrestling but there they were~~~ like paparazzi in my bushes just waiting to snap his photo.

He seemed to ignore them all or simply wave. I asked how he did that but he merely said he was used to it and being out of the business meant they had no real story to tell if he didn’t give one. He just kept painting as we talked. Didn’t know where Owen and the kids were but after a bit, I couldn’t take those cameras any longer. It was an invasion of Warrior’s privacy, and not to mention a home with a family. We never answered any of their questions about who I was, why he was there, or anything. I went over to our garden hose and sprayed them all soaking wet! Yep, I did! Warrior laughed, which was great and most fans know his laugh. 🤣 I said to them the title of today’s post and meant it along with another “speech” I prepared in my head! Here he was away from fame, just hanging out with a friend, painting a chair, 🪑 and not bothering anyone (unless Owen maybe…) The cameras left but who knows what “story” they reported back. We didn’t care. Warrior thanked me, although saying it wasn’t necessary. To me, it was and funny too!

The dream pretty much ended, but I know this message loud and clear~~~ except for Owen Wilson. 🤔😜 I can’t literally soak any naysayers but I will in my own way. At least I got to see Warrior doing something he loved~~~ painting. Yes, he did mostly people but I’ll take a chair. His days of getting hit with one were over, ha! *** Back to painting my house a moment. We finally did get some paint swatches to try our darndest to match. My husband’s shades were very different than mine but get this funny visual. I look at the last one he picked and there are 7 colors. Number 6 on the list is a chocolate brown called “ warrior.Well, it won’t be that one but I of course had a little chuckle on the way home from the store. Number 6, figures right? One I did pick was called “ Notorious.” That’s a little extreme describing Warrior to me but many others might think so… 🫤 Perhaps all my painting projects caught up to me and then manifested in the dream with Warrior? It’s highly likely. I’m so glad I got the opportunity to send those photographers away all wet! Warrior sprayed some summer camp kids in a dream I had years ago, anyone remember that one? Guess it was my turn with spraying adults this time! 👏🏻

So yes, readers~~~ celebrities are people too, despite their lifestyles and choices. It’s so easy to get caught up in adulation but I’ve learned so much about this over all these decades of when I first started following anyone of fame. We can love who they are but then have to give respect for their own space as it’s a challenge for so many. You can be a fan but think of the situation in reverse. You’d want your private time too, but still want to be in the spotlight in someway, hopefully making a difference. We all do whether or not our picture is taken. Honestly, we as “fans” don’t need everything the celebs do on display, do we? For some, they might but I certainly don’t. Look, read, or listen to a little but then move on for a bit. You all might think I’m the opposite but I assure you, that is false. I honor Warrior always and then move forward with whatever else comes along that day. Thank you for being my “fans” and I promise, no one will get sprayed! Oh, I’ll let you know how the painting goes too…

P.S. So~~~ just when I thought I’d heard all the “ Firehouse” songs on my playlist, a new one came along recently. TOTALLY from Warrior, I just knew it. The title, lyrics, said it all. My, my, my… Wonder if I’ll hear it again? WOW… 😮 I made a joke with him saying that song goes both ways…. ‘😉 Nuff said on that!!!!

Who Would You Meet? 🙏🏻

I decided to have some fun with this question or at least I hope you think so. 🤔 The last few posts have been kinda intense yet funny but this thought kept coming to me. I would read or see something similar on social media “quizzes” with surveys people answer. We all have our own fascinations with celebrities or famous people. Come on, you know who you are or were a fan of! Most will know mine by now as is part of my journey but I do have others.

Who would you want to meet and what would you say or do? Maybe you’d be relaxed or super cool but I bet most of you would have that OMG moment mentioned a lot here. Those questions can be asked of people on Earth or that have passed. If you could hang out with them for a day, wouldn’t that be awesome? I should say ultimate! 😉

This can be for anyone at all you consider famous but really think about it. Would your list be people that are current or maybe even way back in time? It can be quite easy for some but then difficult for others. Religious folks might say Jesus, Buddha, or even Mother Teresa who is a Saint now. Your list can be historical, inventors, or explorers. T.V. or movie stars– it’s all endless. No one is off limits and no celebrity is too silly. It’s your people so have fun with it (:

I keep thinking of who mine would be. Warrior is separate from this but let’s see who is on my list. Probably not who you could or would be thinking… First, I would have Marie Curie. I did a report on her in 4th grade, have a book, and always admired the endurance she undertook in a male dominated field. Harriet Tubman is is another woman whose bravery and sacrifices enabled African Americans the beginnings of abolishing slavery. I have always been fascinated by her story. Our town is known for its Underground Railroad Passageways!

A few different people in the mix are Shari Lewis and John Ritter. Shari was a little ahead of my time but her contagious energy with puppetry inspired so many generations. I loved Lamb Chop and always wanted her for my own. I settled for “Fleecie” which was a beany baby my Mom bought after my car accident. Our kids were even familiar with Shari’s later shows and loved all the puppets.

Jim Henson was a similar performer. I remember being so sad hearing about “Kermit.” He is my favorite Muppet and The Muppet Show was a big staple in our house as kids along with Sesame Street. Puppets were such a part of my teaching career too. I must also add how Grover was second to Kermit for me. For my students, I did a great Grover impression and even received a special Grover book on my birthday once from a co-worker. Of course I kept it… It’s kinda funny how he did “Super Grover” ( ya know– a superhero.) Warrior embodied that too only with face paint and no cape. 💙💪🏻

John Ritter was a comedic genius to me and “Three’s Company” was one of my favorite shows. It ended when I was 12 but reruns are always in syndication. He had so many other numerous roles that contributed to his icon status. I even saw his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and touched it. Ironically, he passed of a serious heart condition and was 54 like Warrior but always made me laugh.

Am sure there are way more popular public figures the world would want to meet in spirit like Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, JFK, Princess Diana, and many others. Even people alive and well that are known for fame would be a thrill to actually talk or sit with. Could you even fathom a question? I got tongue-tied even talking to Dana Warrior on her podcast but made it through!! There was my Q and A for Warrior post but truly do enjoy just listening to his speeches.

Let’s see if I can come up with a list for him… Well, that’s tough considering how influenced he was by so many but I’ll try. It would definitely be some founding fathers of our country, philosophers, thinkers, authors, presidents, and war heroes. Am thinking specifically Ronald Reagan, Mark Twain, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and perhaps Joseph Campbell whom he mentions as a great influencer. Also, am sure some Native Chiefs would be on his list as many paintings and statues adorned Casa de Warrior over the years.

So, do you have a list warriors? Maybe yours might change over time once people pass on. Maybe it will stay the same since your admiration never wavers. Who knows once we’re in spirit who we will or can meet besides seeing relatives. I believe there is no separation and no egos so why not?

Am sure many of you fans would want to meet Warrior and maybe someday you will or even other favorite passed WWE Superstars. I can only imagine my reaction as yours will be somewhat different. Who would you meet? Enjoy your list and quite possibly those in “Parts Unknown” will honor it. We are all the same in spirit– celebrity or not… ❤️
