Widely Considered to Arguably Be...

I've met some real winners in my day. Some of them have hit my blog so far - but those are only the ones I've interacted with recently. But I haven't even begun to talk about those I have met in my past. How could I forget about the girl who I took to youth group only for her to end up sleeping with several of the other guys? Or how about the woman who was my supervisor who was so drunk every day that she couldn't figure out what was going on? Or the guy who broke into my house to steal some of my *cough* personal items? The list goes on and on.

One guy from college stands out to me as one of the oddest ducks I've ever met. I don't say this lightly.

I first saw Mr. Grant on stage in college doing his much anticipated Michael Jackson impersonation at an all school event. Each year he'd perform a new song - and rumor has it that the sets cost him about $1,000 each year. His parents and brother were in the audience - ever the doting family. Over the next few years I would realize that their family revolved around Mr. Grant's aspirations in many ventures.

Known on campus for his improv, extreme right political view shown through his school news articles, and his ability to entertain - Mr. Grant was an anomaly. Being the naive and, well, stupid freshman that I was I decided I should get to know the REAL Mr. Grant. Unknowable people are a challenge to me - and I had nothing better to do. He made this very easy for me because he had a huge crush on my cousin - so he saw me as a way to get to know her.

Our short obnoxious "friendship" ended quite abruptly when he accused me of being a hateful person when I told him my cousin had a boyfriend. Go figure. Just yesterday his name popped up on my Facebook. We are not even at the level of "Facebook Friends" but we have many mutual friends. I took the opportunity to check out what Mr. Grant was up to. I'm glad I did! I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. I'll let him speak for himself. :-)

It appears to me that Mr. Grant has not only *cough* accomplished a few things since college - but he has fallen completely and totally in love with himself. This shouldn't come as a surprise to me. While trying to convince me that he should marry my cousin - he said that he was the only one on campus that was good enough for her.

I have to admit - I will keep following what he does. I have a feeling he will be an endless source of amusement!

Good thing I got the chance to meet this guy.... Ha!
