i had this dream that i was hanging out with john mayer. now if you didn't know this about me, i'm a huge mayer fan. i don't care too much about his social life, but that dude can make a guitar sing. so in my dream we were both standing in line at chipotle (and he ordered a burrito bowl) and we got to talking about life. he was in town for a show but it wasn't until the next night. i told him that he could hang out with me, but i didn't really mean it. well, he said that he would love to. weird.
so we hung out, girls were flocked to us, i felt popular, cool, valued. i don't exactly what happened after all of that, i mean nothing interesting i guess. but it made me think about how we value people.
i know it was just a dream, but some people say dreams are valuable. this one was for me. i mean if john mayer came to town and wanted to hang out with me, i would be stoked. but why? what has he done that makes him so valued? because he can play guitar well? because he is (was?) dating jen aniston? why do i value celebrities? why are they more important than people in my community. why would i bend over backwards for someone i don't even know? based on what?
"celebrity" and "idol" are beginning to have many things in common to me.

yeah... weird... i had the same dream and you called me up asking for $10 and to pick you up.
No.. but very good thought... I think that's an area where we need to be more like Jesus... no wonder it's hard because it's hard for us to grasp that to be great, we need to be with the least of these... everyday normal people.
