Now I haven't met many celebrities before, only Scottie Pippen, Freddy Adu, and Colin Quinn (I think, I don't remember if I've met anyone else). But it wasn't a big deal for me. I'm not trying to say that to be cool or anything, it just wasn't. (And I'm definitely not trying to be cool, because I'm telling you the next part) When I met this guy though, and actually got to talk with him for a bit, it was too awesome for words. I'm sure Lu and Jordan would tell you that I had a goofy-ass smile on my face the entire time, and I was definitely making some lame-ass jokes that I would be embarassed to be reminded of. The fact that I had been drinking a bit probably contributed to that as much as being star-struck did. It was so much different meeting him because he's someone that I don't just respect, but kinda idolize. How great a job is it to tell people what you think about politics and current events all day long? Still, I feel incredibly goofy that I was so excited to meet somebody that NO ONE else I know has ever heard of. Not goofy enough to not put this photo of me with him as my facebook profile picture though :)
Notes:
-Still no cable/internet at the apartment. Comcast sent someone out to uninstall cable from a house that had no cable to begin with, so now it looks like we have to wait until next monday. I would berate comcast more, but there's an equal chance the mix-up was my fault. I don't actually think it was, but with my track record of screwing things up....well, one shouldn't be too hypocritical.
-Soriano is hurt, Kerry Wood seems to have brough bad ju-ju back with him, the cubs are 0-19 with RISP in their last two games, and they have lost 4 of their last 5. If they lose tonight, assume it's not safe to talk to me about the cubs for the duration of the weekend. For now, go get 'em Z!
*I seriously miss Al Franken's radio show. It will be so much sweeter though if he can unseat Norm Coleman for a senate seat from Minnesota. You can check up on his campaign at AlFranken.com
