Valedictorian??


While I was out of town last week visiting family (I will blog about that soon), my sister informed me she saw an interview on TV that she thought was quite interesting. When we returned back to her house that night, she pulled the interview up on the computer for me to watch. It was an interview on Jim Rome's show. Jim was interviewing Brian Vickers. For those of you that don't know this, I graduated with Brian Vickers and now he is a well-known racecar driver. Anyway, on to the interesting part. Toward the end of the interview, Jim makes a comment to Brian about how he was the valedictorian of his graduating class. This was the part of the interview where my mouth immediately fell open. He went on to mention Brian's GPA of 4.47. You may be thinking, "Good for Brian. He must be a smart guy!" Too bad this is not the truth! It seems quite interesting that he claims to be the valedictorian considering the fact that our high school did not name valedictorians. What was even more interesting was the fact that I graduated with a 4.507.
Valedictorian??? I think not.
Spread the word.

My email of complaint to Jim Rome has yet to be returned. I'm officially boycotting his show.

I checked again today, and the cute new background and format are indeed showing up on my screen. I'm almost inspired to beautify my own blog.

LOL! This makes me laugh. Anyone who knows better, knows he was not even close to being our valedictorian. hahah! We just had a top 5 or something, right? I don't even think he was in that! And I'm pretty sure LOTS of people graduated from Trinity with above a 4.0. haha! I know I did! Woop! ;) Anyway...wasn't he home schooled for a while?? Maybe he was some valedictorian for that or something. But I'm pretty sure he made it to our graduation too. Who knows!!! On a side note...I saw some ad thing on my computer screen for his myspace page a while back and it made me laugh...out loud. What a goob!
