Just saw AL ROKER

Ok so I'm just getting back from lunch and felt I had to post this most recent compelling moment. So Ludhi (Co-worker) and I just came back from getting a hotdog and slurpee at 7-eleven. If you do not know about the famous 7-Eleven slurpees then I feel sorry for you...

Anyway, near the corner of 82nd and Lexington; (Manhattan) not too far from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, we sat down and started to eat our lunch while chilling with slurpees. When all of a sudden we notice this fairly short black man attempting to throw a bike into the back seat of his NEW MERCEDES CONVERTABLE; with the top down. First thing that came to my mind was...and I spoke out loud, this guy must be really rich to be flinging a bike into a Mercedes backseat. It seemed he had no care of the scratches being left behind on his silvered paint.

So I get a better glimpse of the man; since he is literally right across the street, and come to find out its...AL ROKER (NBCs TODAY). So Ludhi and I basically just staired for a moment, noticing he was a real person afterall. As we slurp our slurpees and finish off our hotdogs he starts to come across the street. Ludhi does not know what to say...so I say in my "get your attention distinguished voice"...MR. ROKER!!! He comes by and shakes our hand and from there makes his way into one of the brownstones. Well that's really all that happened. However, what came to mind is that I should carry business cards and books everywhere I go from now on. You never know when opportunity knocks on your door!

MORTALLY IMMORTAL!!!
