The vice President of Time-Warner :)

Today was the launch of RR in our pitiful town, so it's celebration city over here *no beer :cry: *

He's a odd shaped man, with lots of grey hair, the only think I could say is "can you pay for my car" I got a odd shaped look :bigsmile:

Pretty cool hey?

that would be fun to be the next in line for time warner vice pres, but i don't think he'd consider that since i'm wearing ripped jean shorts and a red Earth shirt.

RR= Road runner Internet, 3rd largest ISP in the states. I had the weekend off, kinda forgot to bring the camera, plus it's against policy to bring camera and stuff into work now :(

lol no i don't suppose he'd want to fashion his successor as someone who'd wear torn jeans short..although you'd never know about eccentric millionaires ..or is it billionaires..

No camera to work?...hmm....secretive affairs..*make a mental note to break into dunchy's office and steal files* :)

That is pretty cool. But I was 2 feet away from Jermaine Oneal and 5 feet away from Tracy Mcgrady.

Why do 'large' figures always turn out to be something totally opposite or really different than what you might think they are. Or maybe its just all those 'figures' are really nasty (big pointy teeth) people, except a slim few. :\ :shiftyl: :mad: :tu:

Ted Turner's an evil, mindless, unforgiving, half mad, half brilliant, nut job bastard from Hell!!!

I havn't met anyone important ever. Wait. Hmm... Nope, no one, not as much as I can recall.

Then again, what is the hype about meeting celebs? They are just people, although rich/famous. I don't really see what is so great about it.
