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.

all this kids a grew up at the Ski area became pro snowboarders and Olympic Skiers, I was never much into competition though, dropped out of Ski racing at 13 or so

I'm gonna be famous one day, so everyone will feel that way about me...

ya'll might eventually know me as the guy who successfully/tried to end the world.

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.

my sister had preschool with randy moss' daughter.His wife lived in my neighborhood for awhile. and Jason williams who plays for some NBA team in from the same town

I grew up in the same neighborhood as Patrick Ewing,and had a few classes with him in high school.Cool guy,but he never had a pen.
I used to hang out with Traci Bingham's older brother,too.She was a cutie back then,she's smokin' now.
