He ran into Vincent on the plane in Chicago

Excerpted from a blog:

Oct 24, 2008

We’ve been texting back and forth since I dropped him off at Indy yesterday morning at 5:00AM, which is a two hour drive from where we live. So guess what time I got up?

He’s had an interesting trip so far.

He ran into Vincent D’Onofrio on the plane in Chicago. Vincent was hoping into first class when he spotted him. His text message said, “We made eye contact.” I responded with, “That sounds” special!

that sounds kinda pathetic ...... saw him .... looked at him .....

but when it crosses to "we made eye contact" it is assuming things that I find disturbing. First - VDO may have been just looking out - no eye contact made. or he could have made eye contact and not had one further second of thought about it nor thought about the person at all or he could have though "god, not another fan, can't I get a second of peace" or he could have thought "god, I am really lucky to be so loved" or he could have thought "god, I really am a popular celeb - I even get oogled at on planes"

Well - I guess the phrase just touched a nerve in me - because no matter what - it is wasted energy and both VDO and the observer could have better served and more at peace if concentrating on themselves and their companions.

sorry to rant so much

Metella, the guy who was on the plane, was actually going to have tests. He wasnt a fan as such, just somebody noticing a well known actor getting on the same plane as he, thats all. I didnt write the whole blog story about the guy from his girlfriend, i knew people would not be interested in it!

Im sure anybody fan or not of any well known person, would notice them, how could you not notice somebody you see on tv, film, papers, magazines or the like?

Yah - I think my rant was mostly from history and all the talk of VDO and his weight and how he is looking and smoking and other candid pics that have been going on the last few weeks.
