50 Cent

Adam Smith | January 5, 2011 | 19 Comments

famous

This isn’t a brag post, but making a point. Read it ’til the end.

You come across people that you think would be awesome to meet, only to realize that they poop just like you.

Yes, I remember the times that I met Ludacris, Jermaine Dupri, Janet Jackson, 50 Cent, Ciara and Bow Wow. I had it in my mind that it would be a glorious moment, but it was a let down. And yes, most of those people are famous to me because they define hip-hop, but the experience was just “ok”.

Anyways, my favorite “famous” person I’ve ever met has to be Blake Clark, though. He was Farmer Fran in the movie, The Waterboy. He’s done some other roles as well, but that’s the one I remember him the most from. He did that voice for me when we met. Awesomeness.

The words “famous” or “celebrity” are weird because it’s hard to know when that exactly happens.
Some of you would argue that there’s no such thing as a “famous” Christian person, but I’d have to disagree.

The only two people I want to meet now are Billy Graham and Bono. I want to meet Billy Graham and Bono because they’ve done stuff that REALLY matters.

That would do it for me. I have no idea what I’d do…
Probably pee my pants and my mind would most likely go blank.

So, who is that famous person you’ve always wanted to meet and why?
