I'm Afraid!

So I was at the bar in Bertucci's yesterday, waiting for my meatball pannini, and I'm watching the lead up to President Obama's swearing in. I was absolutely awestruck at the whole DC scene. The mass of humanity, the positive vibe going around, just amazing. If I was anyone but the D.O.M., I would be crying. I only cry when I watch John Wayne movies. Any way, I'm watching and the camera is bouncing around showing all the celebrities and politicians that are in the crowd. The camera stops on a group of big time politicians, Bill Clinton was among them, all very happy. Then I caught site of this giant face behind Clinton, he wasn't smiling. He was just staring into the back of Bill's head, like he was trying to set it on fire with his mind. It was Al Gore, no one was paying any attention to him which I found odd because of his size. Not that he was fat, it's more like, he was one and a half his normal size. Like you blew him up in a copy machine. So I'm staring at him, hypnotized, and he turns his head and looks right at me, right into my eyes, that's when he smiled. The hair on the back of my neck stood up. It's like he saw me through the television. At that moment I realized that no one else could see him. At that moment I learned the true meaning of fear...
