I will admit, I have been somewhat of a slacker lately but I have an excuse. Lots and lots of painkillers…I am finally feeling a bit better with my back. (For those who don’t know, I had spinal surgery December 10th.) It has been a long road back to say the least!
But I was checking my messages on RacingJunk.com today and I want to share a couple with you. I will have to paraphrase herr as I clean out my message box today.
1. You are my favorite on PINKS. You are the reason I watch the show and thanks for making it fun.
See, that is so cool, nobody EVER notices the fat guy in the booth anymore. I try to bring energy and excitement to the entire show at it is just nice to be recognized! Thanks man, you made my month!
2. I accidently deleted your friend request because you took awhile to respond. I am sorry. I was going to send you a message but I didn’t figure you had time to talk to a guy like me…
This one hit close to home. First, see above as to why I have been a bit of a slacker. And you know what is cool about this whole thing? I am just a guy like you… Granted, I am a HUGE star, the papparazzi chase me daily, Donald Trump calls ME up for real estate advice, Paris and Brittany text me ALL THE TIME and I get the best tables in trendy restaurants by just dropping my name…(only 2 things in that entire sentance are true, see if you can guess which ones… answer to come…)
I am just a guy who loves what he does. I caught a lucky break in that an old college buddy came up with this cool car show and it is a hit. The entire PINKS cast is very down to earth. We are all just car guys who get to play every now and again. The best part of this whole thing IS getting to meet and chat with “a guy like you.” I get yelled at during autographs signings because I always hold up the line because I take a bunch of time talking to everyone. I figure if someone wants my signature and is will to stand and wait to shake my hand, I am going to shake their hand and find out about who they are. Never will I or any of us even take this for granted even one day or let any of this affect us.
Now, where did I put my caviar and Grey Poupon…
ps. the answer to the quiz about is HUGE (huge is correct because I am a whole lot of round. Large and in charge I like to call it…and where I live in Iowa, Applebee’s is the trendiest thing we got and I can always get the best table by just telling them that Gavin Jerome is here..that is, unless they are full at the moment…
