My Claim to Fame

So I was a pretty decent athlete when I was a kid. I ran summer track and did really well in the 4x4 relay, 400, and 800. I went to the regionals many times and even to state one year. I swam too. I was a junior Olympian! I swam on a relay team that was part of the Junior Olympics.

Amy Acuff, Olympic high jumper, went to a nearby school and attended every track meet I did. She has had incredible longevity in her sport, and has even graced the cover of Playboy.


She is tall, blonde, and famous! WOW!

All I can say is that during one of those summers, 1988 maybe, I ran the 200 meters against her...and though I didn't win, I BEAT AMY ACUFF in a foot race! I beat an Olympian 20 years ago! Petty yes, but TRUE!

Check out the blog about her below:

Amy Acuff is a SLOW RUNNER!

So, my friend has a blog that I like to visit. He has a post up about some cool graphics on this quirky t-shirt site. I like t-shirts! (I have aspirations of being a t-shirt artist!) So I go, and the two that I notice first off are spookily reminiscent of a painting I did for my brother a few years back! It even has the same green coloring! Coincidence? I think not! My theory? Creative thoughts are being pilfered through microwaves, and I have been a victim! I'm fashioning a tin foil hat as we speak!!!

No, but really the first two are from the t-shirt site and the last two are my painting. See the resemblance?!

Why I'm afraid of clowns

I don't even have words for the evilness of these clowns...

I used to love me some Bobby Brown in the 80's! I just caught the end of this reality show, Gone Country, and freaked out that Bobby, Dee Snyder, and Sisquo (The thong, ththong, thong thong song) were going to put out a country song! Bobby was my favorite, but the other two were right there with him! They were awesome! I have links to Bobby singing as well as all the performances...just in case you want to enjoy them all. The winner, Julio Iglesias Jr., was a dud, I think it was a set up! The winner should have been Bobby!


Bobby Brown has Gone Country!
