Coming Soon
If the slap bracelet was able to make a comeback, then it’s only safe to assume that these babies will be back on the streets in no time.
I, for one, can’t wait.

What Do I Want For Christmas?
To be adopted into the Run family.
That’s all.
They are quite simply the coolest people on earth.
Santa, I’ve been good all year. So start making some calls.

Never Harm A Woman
This guy, Tom Sizemore, has been in some of the biggest films of the past two decades (which is of no consequence since we’ll all remember him as Pete Rose from that average-at-best ESPN movie Hustle). Sizemore has also been busted for drug possession somewhere in the vicinity of 100 times.
And now…
Sizemore has been convicted of beating a woman. For the SECOND time.
In my opinion, nothing less than this will suffice for a punitive measure: Throw some marinated tenderloin in his britches and lock him in a 10 x 10 yard with this guy:
(Oh, and in case you’re curious what the ensuing scene would look like, imagine something like this):
Run, Tom, run!

My Hypothesis:
There is a 77% chance this was the first CD you ever purchased.
Meanwhile, there is a 100% chance you owned this cassette tape.
Am I right, or am I right?

Under no circumstances should you wear these in a gym. Ever.
Thanks.

It Used To…
… be somewhat easy to hate on Kid Rock— you know, back in the Bawitdaba days. But now, I have to say, it’s next to impossible not to like the guy. This song here proves why.
Now, I know that parts of Rock’s message here don’t exactly line up with Evengelical Christianity’s systematic theology, but as an evangelical myself, I have to say: this song is chocked full of truth. In fact, it’s so insightful it’s darn near brilliant.
So for those of you who, like me, subscribe to a Christian faith, I say this: don’t watch this with a Christian blindfold on (i.e., don’t get caught up on the fact that he says one curse word). Instead, open your eyes to how much of Jesus’s message Rock is conveying in this song.
Love others.
Flee hypocrisy.
Give to the point where we’re uncomfortable and then give some more.
Respect the humanity in everyone around us, despite our personal differences.
Make the world a better place.
My two favorite lines in the song: (1) “… and how can we see salvation when our nation’s race relations got me feelin’ guilty of being white?” and, (2) “Stop pointing fingers and take some blame.”
Oh, and one other line: “Amen”.
I believe it’s a beautiful song.
I hope you will, too.

Please Vote
How about going and voting for me as favorite local blogger at www.gotriad.com/readerschoice/ballot.
A reader was kind enough to write into me this morning alerting me of this competition and letting me know she wrote my name in on the ballot.
Now, seeing as I’ve only been blogging for 8 days, chances are I’m going to lose in a landslide. But I think this could be very helpful in terms of letting people know my blog is actually out there.
So, if you’d take a minute or two to go through the steps of voting, I’d really appreciate it.
Here’s what you do:
1) Click the above link
2) Register yourself to vote (I know, I know… registering is a pain in the butt).
3) Click on the third category bar “People and Media”
4) Scroll down to the bottom where it says “Local Blogger”
5) Write in my name
6) Click “Save and Next”
It’s that simple. I know my blog is the new kid on the corner, but I’d really appreciate it if you’d take a quick minute to do this, as it could hopefully give the blog some added visibility.
Many thanks!
Austin

By The Way…
… in my survey of most eligible 90’s teen heartthrobs, Jonathan Taylor Thomas won in a walk. He collected something like 30 votes while Benny The Jet Rodriguez and Junior Floyd pulled in about 15 collectively.
Also receiving votes (as write-ins) were Andrew Keegan from Camp Nowhere, the dude in My Father The Hero, and, surprisingly, Sean Astin (pre-Hobbit).
I had several women write in wanting a challenge of 70’s/80’s dudes. That could be coming soon.

Does…
… anyone know what happened to this guy? Dude was on top of the world for, like, the entire 80’s. Now, he couldn’t land the lead in a Hilary Duff movie.
Where is this guy? What cocoon is he living in?

If Shaquille O’Neal…
… were to run for president, I’m pretty sure I would vote for him.
That’s how cool this beast is.
Have any of you watched his new show Shaq vs. yet?
It looks silly, and it is silly. But yet, Shaq still comes off as the coolest mo’ flo’ in the world.
Dude’s the man. And I salute him.
