If you like Stella...


...and that may be a long shot (but you are reading it now), you will love Lyndsey's new blog. Stop by and show your support!

P.S. Lyndsey's my sister for those who didn't know.

Why NOT to be a Florida fan, Part IV

Jazz flute is for little fairy boys

But guys who play the Super Mario theme on a flute while beatboxing are awesome.

I aspire to be like this 8 year old.

I've been playing a lot of Guitar Hero lately. This guy is my role model.

In honor of the post below this one:

The best of the best...

Yes, the uniform she's wearing is that of the U.S. Air Force Academy. I'm so proud.

I Live in America's Ninth Most Beautiful City



...so says the Today Show (click on "Today's #9 spot is Charleston, SC"). For whatever reason, this week has been a Charleston Love Fest. My sister Lyndsey called me a little after 8 on Thursday morning to let me know that Charleston was on the Today Show, and yesterday CBS' Early Show broadcasted live from the Battery in downtown Charleston (with a performance from Charleston's own Hootie & the Blowfish). Darius Rucker (Hootie's lead singer) loves Charleston so much that he chose to play this live show ridiculously early in the morning while still recovering from a staph infection with IV tubes hanging out of his arm. Whoever made the decision to put an Air Force base in Charleston, I'd like to shake your hand.

More Crazy Fans

These guys may just rival the fanaticism of Kentucky basketball fans. They do, however, fall short in the intelligence department. A UK fan would have never scheduled his wedding on game day.

Outstanding article from ESPN the Magazine


This is an article about Josh Hamilton, a former crack addict who made his major league debut this season with the Cincinnati Reds. It's a somewhat lengthy article, but please, take the time and read it. You won't regret it.

What's wrong with just believing in the Bible?

Pope discounts validity of Protestant churches

Talk about convoluted...try to read this and understand it all. If you do, please explain. By the way, I have a lot of problems with the whole "primacy of the pope" rigmarole.

Not nearly as dramatic but equally disturbing.
