My lame claims to fame... unfortunately I can't detail all of them but:
I meet and greet celebrities often. The most memorable was meeting Stan Lee. I also regularly work out at the gym with a few of those that I work with (I work at a TV network). I am most assuredly not a celebrity but they seem like ordinary people once you get to know them.
The founder and owner of
the most popular soft drink company in my old country saved my life when I was a few weeks old. He is a doctor and was working at the hospital I was born in.
I went to school with
this guy. And
these guys. I'm friends with a Nobel prize winner.
I've been featured in two national magazines for volunteer work.
I was a founding member of the
ISOC chapter in my old country.
I have played chess against a few grandmasters. Can't remember who they were, but I was 8 years old. I lost of course but I put up a pretty good fight.
Lame but my claims to fame!
