I'm sitting at work right now and can't focus. Bruce Willis and Donovan McNabb of the Eagles came into our office at ESPN the Magazine to shoot a promo for Sportscenter with Mike and Mike of ESPN radio.

you work at ESPN? what do you do?

thats awsome by the way....did you get to meet them?

sorry i couldnt go into more detail before but i wasnt supposed to be surfin the net really. but yea im a freelance graphic designer for them. i knew Bruce Willis would be there but McNabb totally caught me off guard. unfortunately they were surrounded by a billion people with cameras and makeup and such i couldnt get to them and once they were done, they bolted out the door.

That's awesome!! We had Corey Simon, from the Eagles, now the Colts I guess, come to Discount Tires for his tire works. He always dropped his car off and ran to the gym.

freelancing is where its at.

Thats cool, but I have all of you beat!!! Cause I've met COOMER

i saw lil kim in some shoe shop in ny lol

I dont do anything worth really showing. If you want, just pick up an issue and look at the sections called "PAGE 2" and "Crosshairs." I design 2 or 3 pages of Page 2 and also a section called Crosshairs. This is my first "REAL" job out of college and i interned at Gap and UsWeekly Magazine as well.

I was more starstruck by Bruce Willis than McNabb because ive met my share of famous people in sports...

Bob Knight, Daryl Strawberry, Patrick Ewing, Mike Richter, Alexei Kovalev, Rip Hamilton before he was famous, Brian Leetch, Calbert Cheaney, Geno Auriemma (UConn women's bball coach) and Glenn Robinson are some names i got to meet. Bob Knight and Cheaney at Indiana U bball camp. Rip bought us lunch at UConn and met Geno at Gampel Pavilion. Leetch, Kovalev and Richter i met at Rangers practice, and Patrick Ewing, Daryl Strawberry at an autograph signing. Everybody here was super nice with the exception of Bob Knight. We were at the camp for 3 weeks and we saw him almost 3 times a week and never saw him smile.
