Confession 001

I’ve decided it’ll be good to confess to you guys.

Why? Well, maybe because I’m not made fun of enough in real life.

Or maybe, my confessions (sometimes serious, sometimes not so much) will encourage you to get things off your chest, too.

So, here we go. My first official confession is…

I love to dance but am downright awful at it.

That’s right. I’ll wait for you to finish laughing before I proceed.

I really enjoy getting my groove on (and when I DO dance, I give it my all) but darn it if I’m not the worst dancer on the planet. Word is I blinded Jimmy Trudoe at my senior prom with some of my moves. And I mean blinded in a bad way.

I wish I were better at it. I mean, I can keep a beat, and I can throw down the whitey dance like no one else. But if I have to do anything that requires coordinating more than one body part at a time in some sort of rhythmic movement, you can count me out.

Watching me dance is like putting Roseanne Barr’s Star Spangled Banner on infinite repeat.

If aliens invaded Earth, and the fate of humanity was resting on my ability to bust a move, all I’m sayin’ is, hunker down. The ride’s about to get very bumpy.

I just can’t do it.

Ok. Your turn.

An a capella tribute to John Williams

Pure genius. I’ve been a big fan of John Williams’ music for a long time (yes, I had the Star Wars soundtrack on 8 track; the case was blue) and to see someone put in this kind of work. Well, if anyone deserves this kind of tribute, John does.

Well done.

It’s Veteran’s Day. Thank someone.

My grandpa served as a navigator on a B17 during World War II. My Dad was stationed in Korea during the Vietnam War and drove an APC (want to hear some crazy stories? I know a lot of you who read this blog know him personally; ask him about him driving across bridges to test their stability).

Both are my heroes.

We all have someone to thank.

Shout out, right now.

Win an autographed copy of David Crowder Band’s Remedy

I’m giving away a free, autographed, unopened copy of David Crowder Band’s Remedy album that came out last year. It’s a fantastic CD and one that you should have in your collection (if you don’t already).

So, what do you need to do to win?

Two things, and they’re quite simple.

1. Post a comment (click here to do so) linking to your blog and your blog’s RSS feed. We could all use more good stuff to read in our feed reader. Include a one sentence synopsis of what your blog’s about (people will be more likely to sign up for your feed if you do so). If you don’t have a blog, that’s okay; link us to someone else’s blog that you really like.

2. If you feel so inclined, sign up for my feed (via RSS or via email). I’d appreciate it muchly. If you already subscribe to my feed, send a quick email to a friend asking them to check out shawnw.org.

Cut off is this Friday, November 14 at 12pm Eastern time. Sorry, I’ll only ship to the US. I’ll use a random number generator to pick the winner sometime Friday afternoon.

Let’s get crackalackin’!
