Anyone else get like this?

When you find out that a person you went to school with becomes very known/famous you get a little excited? I just found out that a guy who i had some classes with in High school and was on the football team now plays in the NFL. I was like a groupie to our football team we (the whole family) went to every game and he is really good. In high schol he played as a wide reciever but is now a defensive back. So does anyone get a little excited when they find something like this out?

i wouldnt know how you feel, but if i did i probably wouldnt get excited unless he/she was a good friend and gave me some money.

Thats cool.

If I found one of my classmates was famous somehow, I might be a little proud. It would depend on the person though, I mean, if I hated them then I would be mad, but if it was a friend I'd be happy for them.

Thats a better word. Proud. Where we went to school at was a rough place almost everyone went to the foodbank on I believe it was weds. Just to see him go to College and play for VATech and then gets drafted to play in the nfl makes him a idol in that small community. Lets kids think you can make something out of yourself, and not to settle.

fuckin a man! my town is home to about 2500 and a guy a few years older than me is a pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals. my whole town was cardinal crazy for duration of the play-offs! he even got to pitch in the world series.
its a strange feeling seeing him on tv when we were drinking at the same bar not too long ago.
