6 Degrees of Separation

So last night Dean asked me if I saw that Charlie Sheen had sent his private jet to Arizona to pick up Brian Wilson & bring him to his house? NOOOOO, I hadn't seen this. Seems that I've introduced Dean to the greatness that is TMZ for all things celebrity related & of course they had a story about it. You can see it here.

I know you're wondering why I would care about this & a lot of you are probably asking who the heck is Brian Wilson. And no it's not that guy that was in that band a long time ago. The Monkey's I think. Anyway, it's not him. He's a baseball player. A really good one. Like, so good he's the Closer for the San Francisco Giants who happened to win the World Series last year. He's also a little strange, for a lack of a better way to say it.  Wait, who am I kidding, he's a lot strange. Back in the day (2001-2003) he pitched for LSU. That was during the time that Dean & I made a lot of road trips to the away games. One of those trips was to Tuscaloosa, AL. After one of the games several of us went out to dinner. Brian & his roommate, Aaron Hill (who also happens to play MLB for the Blue Jays) had dinner with us. I remember several things from this dinner. Brian was WEIRD!! He held his fork weird, it was like he was shoveling his food in. He ate fast & when he was finished he proclaimed "I've conquered my meal". Um yeh. Weird I tell you! He was nice though & pretty quiet. Another thing I remember about Brian was that he drove a Saturn. It was the 2 door cute little sporty one & it was black. I remember all this because I had the exact same car several years before that. I'm sure he's moved onto to something bigger, better & lots more expensive being that he's making like 7 million bucks this year.

He's a changed a lot. This was him when he was at LSU.

He looks a little different now.

This pic was from a couple of weeks ago when he was on George Lopez. The beard was jet black for awhile. 

Back to Charlie. He's interested in doing another Major League movie & he flew Brian in along with some other players to watch the original movie in his private theater. SOOOOO that means someone I had dinner with was inside Charlie Sheen's house! WOW! That's really cool to me! I just thought it was awesomeness when he was on Letterman! Yes, I know Charlie is a dirt bag, alcoholic, drug addict, prostitute hirer but for some reason I really like him. I only hope that I don't read on TMZ one day that he's dead.

Toodles!
