I have a new job doing the advertising for Samsung. My first morning there I had to attend a status meeting for the agency. There was about 40 people in attendance. There was a writer from Prague and it was also his first day. We had to stand up in front of everyone and introduce ourselves a bit. I went first. I said, "some of you may recognize me because for many years I modeled underwear for Calvin Klein. I'm sure you've all seen me on billboards. I was also hooked on steroids and spent 9 hours a day working out in the gym." (This is funny because i weigh 135 pounds, soaking wet.) I told everyone I got tired of that life, so I decided to go into advertising. Everyone laughed except the new writer, who had to get up and follow my act which is no easy task.

I love that story. I listened to your interview on the way home last night and was inspired, and touched, and encouraged. Great job. You laid it out man and I respect you for it. I dig real people.
The new writer could've said he was the photog for your Calvin Klein ads and that he got tired of that life. ;>)
