CELEBRITY ENCOUNTER.
I never really cared about the on-field antics of Chad Ocho Cinco. Then, my friend Dave suggested I add Chad on Twitter and I started to see Chad in a whole new light.
Chad’s Tweets are not only off-the-charts hilarious, they also dispel the gossip and give a great perspective on who this man really is; a caring, generous human being. So, after a few Tweets, I decided I had to meet this man of mystery.
My mission was made extremely easy as this crazy cat loves to take his friends out on group adventures. And I use the term “friend” very loosely. You see, Chad has almost a million followers on Twitter, and every once in a while, he will send out a Tweet, inviting his Twitter “friends” on various escapades and trips, all on his tab.
While he has been taping Dancing with the Stars in LA, Ocho invited the first 100 of his Twitter friends that showed up to a group movie date! So, I went. And 167 other people showed up. Chad showed up right at the allotted time and place and greeted everyone individually. Instead of turning away the people over 100th in line, Chad unflinchingly purchased movie tickets for one and all of 168 of us. He also bought us all popcorn, hot dogs, and drinks. Two weeks later, he did it all over again, this time, inviting the first 200 of his friends. I went on both Fridays and will never forget my “dates” with Ocho. The movies we saw? Why did I get Married Too and Death at A Funeral. You should totally add him on Twitter because you never know what Chad will be in the mood for when he visits your town. Chad’s Twitter name is “OGOchoCinco”.
