It really is a small world afterall

Jump to Comments

I am here in New York for the One Show which I must say right off the bat has been insane, wonderful, wacky, inspiring, valuable, facinating, etc. etc. etc.

It’s funny to think how New York City is such a massive city with thousands of millions of people from all over the world passing by each day. HOWEVER, it really is a small world.

We met a man today at Starbucks who belongs to a traveling drum line that of all places just came back from spending a weekend at my high school. Of all the places in the country, his drum line was in Salem, Oregon and of all the high schools, this random Starbucks man in NYC was at MY high school!!

Second “small world” occurrence of the day - I was walking home tonight around 10:30, talking to a Australian friend about, well, how it’s such a small world. He was walking down the street this morning and ran into a friend from back in Australia who is also here in New York although he had no idea…what are the chances of that??

This conversation lasted around 10 - 15 minutes - towards the tail end of the conversation, I look up at the pedestrians passing by and suddenly I think I recognize the guy across from me - I though there was no way, so I continued to do double takes until this guy yells my name and it turned out to be my friend whom I have not seen since high school, about four years ago. He was with another high school friend whom I have not seen for about the same amount of time. What are the chances of this happening, especially DURING a conversation regarding that very topic!!! I couldn’t get over the irony and the coincidence!!
