During a conversation with an acquaintance, a stranger jumped in, all bubbly and excitable. After being introduced, we told her that we were discussing the President's inaugural speech, to which she replied, "Which President? I'm not really into politics."
"The American President!"
To my amusement, she then said, "Oh, is it that black guy?"
My acquaintance, (smart thing), quickly changed the topic of conversation to modeling and fashion.
Turns out, the conversation intruder is actually very smart. Sharp and passionate about the things that matter to her. It's good to know that someone is not being swept up in all the media hype. It's almost refreshing to meet someone with such an entirely different way of doing life. Forces you to deconstruct what you believe is intrinsic and makes you question how your priorities are shaped.
As for the speech, it was inspirational.
