the closest thing to meeting a famous person is Gen. Richard Myers, he was the keynote speaker at our graduation, and he stopped and talked to me randomly while I was in line before we marched in...he wouldn't know me or remember me, but I thought it was pretty cool. He was our speaker for Kansas State University College of Engineering graduation in 2005. That's about as much as I got. Oh and I met Ron Jeremy once when he was lecturing in school. Once again wouldn't remember me, but still cool.

I'll be living in the same apartment complex as Joe Namath's daughter next year and my dad knows the dad of the bad guy in Kindergarten Cop.

Freudian slip if I ever saw one.

well I guess I would finally write on this post.

I am good friends with Wes from the real world. I was in his pledge class our freshman year of college (a year before he went on the real world) and we have been good friends ever since. I probably hang out with him at least once every other week (Not including the class we have together)

I thought of another person....
he's not really famous, and none of you would know his name... I used to work for Peter Cheon. A lot of you have probably heard of his company, Koolance. I used to work for his other company, Infotech Systems (www.infotechnow.com) Oh, and I eat at his sister's teriyaki restaurant sometimes. haha

I've met some NHLers, that's about it.

it was at parties through mutual friends, so it was pretty cool.

This guy:
Rex Grossman

When I entered UF, I was a freshman and it was his last year here. But lost contact with him after that year. Still have his cell number, but I doubt it works.
