Well they say most everyone will get aleast "five minutes of fame" in their lifetime one way or another. Whether it be news papers, radios, TV, or whatever... Have you had your 5 minutes of fame yet?

Heres one of my 5 minutes...

When I was in the 5th Grade the Museum of Science and Industry in Tampa, FL had a contest to have the students from the local schools, name their new Space Exhibit.We had to think of a name, and write an essay on the name using the definition, They chose the name I had made up for the exhibit. We got to go on a field trip to the museum and be the first ones to see the exhibit, they also had a plaque on the exhibit that had the exhibits name on it and my name as well. It was pretty cool, especially to a 5th grader.

Ive also had my name in the papers for school sporting events, etc..

Lets hear some of yours?

This is an interesting question...

In high school, I had a couple articles published in the newspaper (they were journalism class projects)...

I've been on the news a couple of times - once was after George Bush sr. won the presidency... I gave my opinion which was aired.

Oh, and then there was that whole hosting MTV for a week... oh no, wait - I woke up and realized that didn't really happen...

I think that's it for me.

I've had some sports "fame" being a pitcher back in the day. Once, during half time, my indoor soccer team went out and played another team during a San Diego Soccers game. I dunno, just things like that.

now that i think of it, when they had that huge scare that the flight schools trained all the suicide piolets of the 9-11 event, vero beach was one of the target spots, i drove around and tried to get on TV, i dont know if i did or not, it was live TV, we had one friend scanning the channels while we drove around the airport(that was blocked by FBI) then we went and tired to go to a house that was raided by FBI, wouldnt let us in the neighborhood but we kinda got in the path of the news crew, who knows, maybe a black prelude was on nation TV?!
