I Got To Meet One of My Childhood Idols

Hug me brotha.

I Got To Meet One of My Childhood Idols
Alex Atiyeh

Dear Friends,

The other weekend I was able to attend an event at my college where Josh Peck would be answering questions from students. When I heard about this, people made it seem like it was not a big deal. I didn't see many posters or social media posts about the event, which I found confusing. So I went to the box office and bought a few tickets for myself and my friends, and then after that tickets were sold out in three days.

It was crazy.

Every time I would walk past the box office there would be a huge line right outside of it. People REALLY wanted to see Josh Peck's Q&A session.

BUT it gets better.

Later after I bought my tickets I found out you could get a chance to MEET Josh Peck. Now I loved Drake & Josh when I was a kid. When I was on Vine, I would only watch Josh Peck Vines. I watch his YouTube videos every time he uploads one. The man is a comedy god in my eyes. I needed to meet him.

So I entered a raffle that was free to enter, and then I shared the post of the event on FaceBook, which is basically how I won the meet and greet. They saw I shared the post and realized that I was a vlogger, and they thought it would be an amazing experience for me to see Josh because I am a YouTuber. True story. The workers at the event literally told me that, AND they watch my videos. Crazy world man.

When I got the email that I won the meet and greet with Josh Peck I couldn't breathe and I wanted to cry. Nobody was at the apartment so I posted it and shared it everywhere. It was the BEST moment of my life. I was going to meet Josh Peck. WOO!

So I brought my girlfriend to meet him with me because each winner got to bring one guest. We waited in line for the show for about 2 hours and we got fourth row seats which were LIT. The show itself was super funny. He talked about his career, life, being a dad, Vine, YouTube, and so on. It was an awesome time and probably lasted for over an hour.

Then the time came to meet him.

I was shaking and I didn't know what to say. Literally being able to shake his hand and stand in front of him was just an awesome experience. Yeah, I've met like singers or celebrities or YouTubers before, but Josh was different for me. Again, he was my childhood. I would say his character lines at school and people would laugh. I love the guy!

Anyways, meeting him was one of the best moments of my life. I got to put him in a vlog for my channel (up already), gave him a #YourFriend bracelet, and we got some pictures too! I had so much fun and I am still on the high of meeting him. I will always be grateful for the opportunity to meet Josh Peck. Nothing will ever be able to top that. Unless he like shared my vlog or followed me on Twitter or something. That would be pretty cool.

Anyways, I am grateful and happy right now. I hope you all have a fantastic week and enjoy ya self!

Your Friend,

Al

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here.
