So there's a guy I played WoW with for years. We still do on occasion.  He's a late model/nascar nationwide driver.  Every year he comes into town we hang out and I go in the pitts and hang with him in his trailer and shit.  But It's still strange.  He's rly into gaming and we have a TON of common interests, except he's a bit older than me.  This year I got to hang with him for a weekend.  It's strange because he's just my normal friend, a good friend at that, but he's LOADED.  He runs 4 companies him and his wife started.  But he just left the track and is like, DUDE tomorrow we NEED to start doing 3's again.  This guy I swear sometimes.  All of my racing friends are all star struck by him, but he's more down to earth than anyone.  You have to prior info out of him about some of the stuff he owns, but he has the nicest trailer and equipment of most racers.  But it's still strange at times, he gives me the keys to his trailer and is like, u and any of ur friends can chill here idc.  When he has like 100 grand worth of TV Laptops and other equipment (His Mac Pro was 12 grand alone).

 

Anyway, pointless rant but this guy is rly kool.  Just blows my mind how good of friends we are and we met over wow.  He never told me what he did, I put 2 and 2 together because I knew his name and he was doing an interview on Speed Channel once.

I know a few people who are adored by others but I just know them as down to earth and nice people. I don't treat them like ''OMG I KNOW A FAMOUS GUY AND HE'S MY FRIEND.''.

It's easy when we are just BSing in his fricken LAID OUT RV until 2am, but around other people it's tough.
