I'm jealous.

Check this out. I bought the book Physics of the Impossible and a couple weeks later i found out he was doing a lecture about an hr from where i live so i went and got the book signed by him. Later on i gave the book to my grandpa to read..I never saw it again. Like every time he's done reading a book he gets rid of it. He put the book in like a goodwill box. It happened months ago and I'm still like WTF. :banghead: Still bummed but it was an accident. T_T

Chris Jericho from the WWE - He was ice skating at our local shopping mall.
Big Show (aka Paul Wight) from WWE - He was eatting at a quiznos sandwich shop by my house.
Andre The Giant when I was ten (deceased wrestler)
A bunch of players from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (NFL football team)

I don't even like wrestling but somehow I am connected.

UPDATE: Right after I posted this I remember some more.

Back in 2005 I met Slipknot, Sevendust, Rob Zombie, Static X, And Marilyn Manson on the same day. We snuck back stage at a festival in Orlando, Florida and just started talking to people.

I also am pretty good friends with Lost Prophets (band). I used to drink beers with them on their bus everytime they came over to the states for Ozzfest.

I have also hung out with a bunch of other less known bands like God Forbid, A Static Lullaby, Underoath, Zao And Between The Buried And Me.

I <3 Russian Girls!

Several times while at my job. Latest ones were the guys from The Saw Doctors (one of my old bosses are friends with them so I've seen them a few times), Allan Pineda (Black Eyed Peas), Kimberly Caldwell (I know where she's gonna be this Feb. lol - not a fan), Alanis Morissette, might be more but I forgot...

The ones I just saw filming in the streets don't count. The cast of Gossip Girl were the last ones lol.

And people I've seen in concerts. It's been a while since I've been in one. Warped tour was so long ago.

I take it the shaking hands didn't take part when you both were doing your business? Because that's actually the image I actually get from this.
