Who would rent Obama's College Apartment?

Today, I opened up my Yahoo! browser and found an article that baffles me. Who would ever want to rent Obama's apartment? I suppose if you were this big Obama Freak and wanted to be closer to your hero, I guess that might be one reason. Or if someone was caught up with celebrity (is he really one?), that might be another. However, for those of sane individuals who might still exist in this country, I cannot see any reason. It is a cramped old apartment with few amenities although it does have wood floors!

Are we so deprived of joy in our lives today that we have to live our lives through celebrities, near celebrities (reality show pimps) and anyone who might be more interesting than the way we view ourselves? If so, "get a life." Find something interesting and make your life interesting. Stop wishing we were like these people. I have news for you, most of them are very plastic, as shallow as tin foil and as interesting as watching paint dry. Of course, there are some who are very real, but the majority are not! In fact, in most cases, you are more interesting than they are!

So next time you see a celebrity, whether it is President Obama or Cher, realize they put their pants on one leg at a time, just like you! They are not more important or more interesting than you. Most of these celebrities pine for the day they did not have the fame and the trappings that come with it. How would you like to be followed 24/7 by photographers? Celebrity is not what it is made up to be by the press. Yes, they may have money or fame, but what they have given up is a "personal" personal life.


And getting back to the apartment, who cares if the President lived there? Do you really think that his charma will rub off on you? Will it make you more interesting? Will it make you rich or successful? I doubt it. I repeat "get a life."
