Another Halloween is here……which means another year of turning the lights off and watching the TV with the volume on low so no trick-or-treaters think I’m home!!

This year I went as Seattle’s beloved Brian Bosworth.  Here’s a few pics ranging from before the haircut to my night as “The Boz”.

While out running errands last week I popped in for a haircut.  After the lady finished I gave it a glance in the mirror, thanked her, and paid the bill. 

Feeling the hunger pains which most acquire while getting a trim I decided to walk down the strip mall to get a sandwich.  About four stores down I looked in the reflection of a window and much to my amazement I saw this…….

Are you kidding me?  Look at that chunk missing from my side-burn!!  I didn’t see it before I left….but you can’t tell me the lady didn’t catch that when it happened or even after the fact.

So a little embarrassed about my appearance I continued on and bought a sandwich, and much to the disgust of Luke Perry and Jason Priestley I returned home to find some clippers for immediate follicle correction.

Thanks for swingin’ by my blog.  Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts!!

Check these bad boys out!!  I dropped in to JOE’S for their going out of business clearance sale and walked away with these sweet new Seahawks shoes.

The conversation at the register went something like this:

Cashier - How you doing today?

Me - Good.

Cashier - Wow!!  I think in all the time I’ve worked here this is the first time that I’ve actually seen somebody buy a pair of these!!

Despite the combination of amazement and sarcasm from the cashier…….look for me at Hawks games in the fall…..I’ll be the guy rockin’ the sweet new kicks!!

Here’s a few pictures from my trip to Vegas last weekend to see Jimmy Buffett.  Check out my photo page for bigger pictures and my video page for a short video from the show!!

Mac McAnally is standing to the left of Jimmy.  He’s the one who wrote and sang “Down The Road” with Kenny Chesney.

It’s just about that time of year…….blue skies, sunshine, and some good ol’ cooking on the BBQ!!

It’s no doubt that times are tough but you can head to your local store and pick up the latest in grilling fashion for a rock bottom price………..

The swine flu is at the center of attention this week.  The good news is that there is a new product for you who have had this thought go through your head…..”I can’t wear a mask, it won’t match anything that I have to wear”.

But now you can try to side-step the illness and look like a million bucks with these masks!

It appears you can choose between the words “OINK”, a skeleton, a pig snout, or the always popular Octomom lips!!!

Stay healthy and look good doing it!!!

If you stuff yourself full of marshmellow peeps this weekend and you can’t get off the couch until the middle of next week……make sure to tune into Oprah on Tuesday!!

The entire show will be dedicated to country music.  As you can see from the picture below it should be a big show with Sugarland, Darius Rucker, and Kenny Cheney!!

And is it a coincidence that all those artists will be in concert here locally?  We’ll see Darius at the Auburn High School PAC on May 2nd and Sugarland will be part of Kenny’s tour at Qwest Field on August 1st. 

Enjoy your favorite country stars on Oprah Tuesday afternoon………and let’s see you top that Dr. Phil!!

It’s been a rough week for Jessica Simpson.  The rumors going around are that she is no longer with her country record label Sony Nashville.  After a tough-go opening for the Rascal Flatts’ tour in which she forgot lyrics, cried on stage, and had a PR fiasco with her weight……her pictures and name have been removed from the Sony Nashville website. 

Jessica’s people say she was just on loan to the label for her country CD and that she is still very much a country artist.  We will have to wait and see what becomes of it all.

But to make matters worse…..Eminem’s new music video came out this week and pokes fun at a bunch of celebrities…..including Jessica!!

Take a peek at the following pictures from the video.  Eminem is dressed up as Jessica’s boyfriend Tony Romo and the woman playing Jessica hikes him a cheeseburger.  He throws it, Jessica catches it, then she eats it!!  Actually it’s more like inhales it!! 

Such a cruel, cruel world we live in!!

I’ll admit I’ve been busy the last couple weeks.  Work…..home…..you name it.  But I still try to keep an eye and an ear on the news as much as possible.  So I don’t know how it’s possible that I actually missed this one. 

Next time breaking news hits feel free to drop me an e-mail to bigdaddy@kmps.com.  Especially if it’s something concerning the country world like:
