The African Man-I heart the Huckabees
If you haven't seen i heart the huckabees, i strongly recommend seeing it. It is definitely one of my favorite movies...
Anyway, I had a similar experience to the main character of i heart the huckabees, which is that when I first arrived in Chiang Mai, I kept seeing this African guy everywhere...he was tall, dreads, lite black skin, so I guess that he could have reallly been from anywhere, but i thought that he had an Arican vibe... I would always try and make eye contact with him just because I saw him so often, but he always looked down at the ground, despite being quite tall... Anyway, I consistently saw him everywhere in Chiang Mai for about 6 weeks in November and December, and then around Chirstmas time, I saw him in Bangkok as well.
Anyway, after not having seen him for a couple of months, I saw him again about a week ago while I was walking through the Sunday market with my friend Lut... and she said that when keep running into the same person like that than that means that he has a message for you, so she recommended that the next time I see him to go up to him and ask, "Do you have a message for me?"
So a couple days later, I was invited to hang out at my friend Jonas's chill guest house, when low and behold, who is there but the African guy..
So I say to him, "I have seen you everywhere, do you have a message for me?"
I guess that I freaked him out by being so direct because he was like, "Absoutely not!" I guess that that is a lot of pressure to put on someone... would have made a great story though, ehh? I didn't really feel a strong connection with him though, and I guess that there is a pretty popular tourist circut, so its not that big of a deal to run into someone consistenly like that, but still I've probably seen this guy about 15 seperate times... Perhaps he'll have a message for me in the future! Turns out he is from Ethiopia...crazy!!
