Hehe Adam that is cool! :D
I know - I am famous :P
O_o I just remembered a dream I had in my granny nap today. I was DJing lol. But this other dude kept putting on songs over me :(
I would have done, but he had like 'master' control of the sound.
Well I currently own 3 banks, is that famous enough?
I was in the background of the local news once. It is actually pretty memorable because I was scolding my English class partner at the time for screwing around while we were trying to do something so I was making weird hand gestures.
Thank you, thank you. Please form an orderly line in front of the table for autographs.
i was the one that caught barry bond's record breaking home run ball. It was on TV.

I used to really want to be famous but it is not so much on my must do list
to quote Jack Kerouac
I'd rather be thin than famous
My Uncle work for a AAA Baseball team in Lowell, MA. The Red Sox want him to work for them. But he says no every year. But he goes down to Florida every year with the Sox for spring training. Not to work, they want him to go and hang out with them. Back when Nomar was still on the team, my uncle "babysat" him for a day when he was drugged up on medication lol.
Since we are talking about brushes with fame... I have talked to Donald Trump, Jeff Goldblum, and Monica Lewinski on the phone and have talked to the agents/assistants of a lot of celebrities. I have called a lot of radio talk shows, and as a result have talked to Michael Reagan and Michael Savage. I have had two face to face conversations with Ann Rice. I have known several world class runners really well. My parents used to be friends with the Doobie Brothers and are still friends with the classical piano player George Winston. Because of mutual friends, my brother used to hang out with Peyton Manning and now sometimes hangs out with Jimmy Buffet's harmonica player, Fingers Taylor. My brother also used to work for a health club and was assigned to play basketball almost every day with Alec Baldwin when he was in town to film Ghosts of Mississippi. I ran into Jimmy Buffet at the Subway sandwich place in Perdido Key, Florida a few years ago, and I ran into Venus Williams in a store in New York when I was there to watch the U.S. Open. I said hey to Jimmy because we were face to face, but I didn't bother Venus. I don't want to screw with celebrities when I see them in public because I know they want to be left alone while they are minding their own business.
Speaking of ignoring celebrities in public places, I saw Britney Spears at the Jackson airport in 2001 at 1:00 in the morning. She was there either because it is the closest major airport to Kentwood, Louisiana (Kentwood is on the Mississippi border, and that's why Britney went to a Mississippi high school in 10th grade. That school was a huge rival of my high school, but Britney is ten years younger than I am. I know people who know her.) or she was doing her usual thing of staying at Lance Bass' house in a suburb of Jackson. She, Justin, and Lance used to hang out there a lot. I was getting off the escalator, and she was getting on it. Somebody who must have been her bodyguard was walking with her. Nobody else was. There was nobody else around. The Jackson airport isn't very busy that time of morning. Her hair was frizzy, and her makeup was smeared. She had obviously just had a concert somewhere. Because I didn't want to mess with a cebrity minding her own business in public, I just ignored her. Surprisingly (at the time, but not now), that pissed her off. She gave me a very vicious and arrogant look. She was appalled that I wouldn't make a big deal out of running into her in public. I thought that was hilarious and just kept walking.
That' funny cuz I remember seeing the guy from Everclear in the lobby of my old apartment building (in Southwest Portland) and he looked at me and I looked at him and I thought 'that's the guy from Everclear' but I didn't say anything because I never liked Everclear and I didn't want to encourage him
I had a cameo on Rosie and Jim once.
I played a camper.
