If you could meet one famous person right now, who would it be? I'm watching Conan O'Brian right now and my favorite singer is on Harry Connick Jr. I could listen to him forever....

This is a tough one. I don't admire most famous people. Politicians are all crooked and movie/tv/music stars think they are important and better than everyone else just because they have lots of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. I honestly would have to say noone. Okay, maybe the guy who plays the chief of staff on "West Wing". I like that show. ;D

Nick and I talk about this all the time. We think it’s so funny that people are so interested in what is going on in the lives of celebrities and wanting to get autographs all the time. There are only a few people I’d want to meet: Brett Favre Clint Eastwood Sean Connery Toby Keith Hank Williams Jr.
And that’s about it I think!

Lance Armstrong - beat cancer and went on to win the Tour de France 5 times... arguably one of the most challenging sporting events in the world.
My hubby and I have been following his career for years and were watching the race the year he abandoned because he wasn't feeling well and was diagnosed later that year.
He is amazing...because not only did he recover from cancer but he used the experience to change his life. He actaully looks at the experience in a positive way. Amazing individual.

Of all the famous people the only one I can think of right now is the French actress Brigitte Bardot. She loves animals and is setting a very good example adopting from the shelters...I know she has a lot of doggies I would like to meet humanitarians in general, people that have bright ideas and put them into practice, people that I can learn something from and are also willing to learn from me... I do admire quiete a few artists but I don't think I really want to meet them. If I met Brigitte I would like to tell her thank you for her using the power she has over the media and make them focus on helpless creatures.

Robert Smith of the Cure. I really had to think about this. Most of the people I think of as heros are dead - Rudyard Kipling as my favorite author, Lou Gehrig as an athlete role model, Answar Sadat for his courageout pursuit of peace.
I could go with a celebrity - John Cusak comes to mind for purely asthetic reasons , but if I had more discipline I'd nominate Stephen Hawking, possibly the Albert Einstein of our lifetime.

HMMMMMMM I am pretty much with Nicki on this one not to many famous people impress me that much. Oprah is ok we will see if she leaves a lasting impresion on me. Now in the martial arts community I have two very specific people in mind. Chuck Norris, and Ernie Rayez Jr. The other would be the famous "Joe Lewis" ex-marine/ karate champ/kick boxer. Cathy Long would be another female kick boxing champ. And last but not least LOEY ;D

Well you know we live so close to each other and have made several attempts at meeting and sometimes our schedules or the weather is not in our favor. I don't know if what I am going to tell you belongs here but I think it's a good place for it. Did I ever tell you guys how interesting it was to meet Loey ( well at least meeting by e-mail and phone the real thing will come)? I was on DP and read a couple of her posts I liked what I read so I sent her a PM. Well we found out that we both live in Wisconsin and even better about not even 20 miles from each other. Then the best part came. I told her how we had moved here from Mountain. She said her sister in law lives in Mountain. I asked what her name was and OH MY GOD , her sister in law was my neighbor when I lived there. Out of all the people I could have met on the web it was someone so close and who had family that I knew. Talk about a cosmic connection

;D Don't know how *famous* I am....except for the inability of keeping my big mouth shut. I am famous for that in my family, at least! and I'm working on it, and thank you for saying that anyway, Ann! Yes,...we have to meet, and soon!!!, if this snow ever stops!!!, and it was *weird* how we *met* through em, wasn't it, and then finding out you had lived near my sister in law!! Small world as they say! I have the feeling if we ever get together we will manage to get into all kinds of trouble! ;D ;D

I would say the same as Sibemom....Chuck Norris and I would also like to meet Jackie Chan.....throw in Clint Eastwood in there too...
These three men have a quality of honesty about them..they deliver excellent product on the screen and TV that I believe crosses into thier personal lives...
There are far far far too many phonies out there today who will tell people what they want to hear and then whisper under thier breath about what they really think of you...which is very little...or they have thier heads up thier backsides so much that they only see the world as they want it..no one else, or nothing else matters.....but they make it seem like they're everyone's friend (gee, you could fit a lot of folks into that catagory).......phony phony phony...
