    So this past weekend, Im at a bbq. It's a lovely afternoon, despite throwing my knee out (at the bottom of a very big hill on my way to Angry Sam's house) Saturday.

    We had just arrived, with our usual tispy grandeur, Nico wearing her newly aquired 1968 Mobile Oil Motorcycle helmet she got at her hipster swap meet that day, I with my limp, haircut and nifty plastic camera. Walking into our friends house we come to a table, with strangers, passing a pipe...our kind of party. Come to find out these two guys sitting at the table are from Georgia (one had not lost his accent)...this one guy in particular, says he's from Atlanta and it went like this:

    Me: You from Atlanta?
    Him: Yeah, you?
    Me: Same here.
    Him: I grew up in Lilburn went to Parkview Hi.
    Me: No shit, I lived in Lilburn too...
    Him: (interrupts) .,..you played soccer for the Steamers right?
    Me: (disbelief growing) YES!!!
    Him: Me too!!!!
    Me: Oh Shit, whats your name?
    Him: A***...
    Me: J********** right?!!!!
    Him: YEAH!!!
    Me: dude!!!!!
    Him: Holyfuck!!
    Me: dammmmmmmm!!!!
    Him: whoa!!!
    Me: Lets do a shot...this doesnt happen but once, maybe twice in a lifetime.

    Me: (to the rest of the potheads at the table) "what are the chances of sitting at a table, smoking grass, in Los Angeles, 13 years and 3000 miles away, running into someone i played on a classic soccer team when i was 13? It was an intense soccer team, we trained all summer long, twice a day...morning and night, so we got to know each other well.

    Anything remotley weird and random like this happen to you?

    I went to a dinner party at a guy's house I work with, he's Egyptian, wife is Peruvian, his friends, a couple -- the man is Syrian, his wife is Puerto Rican, me and my girlfriend (Colombian), another couple originally from Shanghai but live here, and an ex-minor league ball player from the Dominican Republic. Interesting group of people from all over the world. We thought the fact that there were 2 Arab men who had married hispanic women was rather interesting too.

    But certainly not random like your occurence, Patrick.

    I once saw a guy I went to college with while walking down the streets of Paris. This was probably 10 years ago. That was freaky. Small world I guess.
