Feeding kids.

Well, here are some other fame quotes I found interesting:
“It is strange to be known so universally and yet to be so lonely.”
Albert Einstein
“Fame is a bee.
It has a song
It has a sting
Ah, too, it has a wing.”
Emily Dickinson
“Fame is the perfume of heroic deeds.”
Socrates
“I won’t be happy till I’m as famous as God.”
Madonna
“Don’t confuse fame with success. Madonna is one; Helen Keller is the other.”
Erma Bombeck
Oh…I want to be sexy…change mine.
idunno.
‘Slong as I done good.
these are so great!
To be the the best encourager behind the greatness of others.
But only because I can’t pull off the sexy…
I don’t want to be famous.
I gift my 15 minutes to whoever needs a little extra time.
ooh – i like angie’s quotes.
theresa — i think amy and heidi might fight over your 15 minutes!

America’s new premiere opera singer.
Susan Sarandon’s husband.
or
World’s greatest whipped cream pie thrower.
HA!
@cassgirl says:
I will wrestle Amy for the 15 minutes!!
No…
Okay Christmas Spirit. You can have them Amy.
It would be cool to win some sort of contest and get to talk with Don Miller. I could talk to him all day.
Off Subject– I saw the most adorable Christmas tree ornament today… It was a Little Red Cup. I thought of you. :)
I would love to be on Conan O’Brian just b/c he is freaking hilarious. Or Jay Leno. I heart them both.
But why would I be on there? Ummm….. for Jay Leno it would be because I found the funniest “headline” ever for his Monday Night Headlines. For Conan…I’m not sure. I’ll work on that one. ;-)
We’ve had our fifteen minutes.
I never want to go back there…ever.
Maybe for my writing so I could remain somewhat incognito. :)
hannah — you might disown me for this, but… i can’t stand don miller!
theresa — a blog friend mailed me one as a gift! so fun!
brandy — conan drives me CRAZY!
The think about 15 minutes of fame is that it couldn’t possibly be for something good. Or if it is good, it’s because you rescued someone from a bizarre and dangerous situation (“Man Hanging by Strand of Twizzlers Saved by Beautiful Woman”), or because you won a bizarre yet prestigious award.
I’d like to spend my 15 minutes of fame accepting an award with cash benefits.

Writing music worth listening to.
@tamhodge says:
making people smile.

Offering hope.
An amazing hairbrush singer. Wha?

natalia — i like the way your brain works.
mandy — you already got it, girl. i’m serious.
I’d love 15 mins on SNL!
@knights_lady says:
something that folks will remember as God’s grace
Are we talking FAME? – or Infamy?
Or (ugghh) ‘Celebrity’?
Inventing a new source of electricty that is virtually free and pollutionless.
Use it for making cheap clean drinking water, light for houses not connected to a ‘grid’, powering transport, heating/cooling, eliminating the need to collect firewood for essential cooking heating etc.
I’d more than happily give my said 15 to anyone who actually does it.
<B
I hope it’s for something worthy of being famous….
Like doing something for the needy….
Helping someone to see they are worth something when they think they aren’t….
Changing the world in some way… probably one person at a time…
I am not sure much else is worthy of fame.
great thoughts here!
