True, true.

I am so getting one of these shirts to wear on stage.

This is Eric Lee Beddingfield riding a mechanical bull at the Pi Kappa Phi house in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. I rode it first, and I rode it pretty good, but, alas, digital SLRs are a little too complex to simply hand to someone and go "get a shot of this shit!" Bonus points to anyone who can identify exactly which fingers (special bonus for which knuckles) I took the skin off of whilst riding for my eight seconds. That's eight out of two rides, mind you...

This is Bobby. Can you guess what Bobby does with my new adopted family, County Line?.

Blocks and house payments

That's right, this is a big ol' truck on frickin' blocks in the yard of my house.

To be completely honest, it's on the side of the duplex that I don't live in, but it still bothers me. This only solidifies my conviction to speak with my landlord this week about the possibility of buying the home.

I bet if I suddenly went from being "the annoying old guy on the other side of the house" to "the annoying landlord on the other side of the house" they'd pay me a little more respect, dangit.

Plus, they'd be paying my mortgage...

I'm pretty sure this is how all of us felt after the 12-hour odyssey that was Chris Mitchell and Ashlee Bartels' wedding Saturday. She's really a very lovely girl, and he's a very lucky guy.
