Kenny Loggins

I present you the king of 80's movie themes. Looking back at the 80's, Top Gun may be the most over rated movie ever and was actually quite terrible and boring. Anthony Edwards was the only actual "actor" in that whole movie. I still can't figure out Tom Cruise is considered a movie star and how he can still make movies even though he is certifiably crazy and Val Kilmer can't catch a break these days. I miss the orginial Iceman. Reguardless, Danger Zone is the quintessential 80's song when you want to get pumped up. If I'm about to play an intense game of racquetball or badminton, I turn on the Danger Zone and I'm ready to go. If I'm not quite in the Danger Zone mood, I switch to footloose to liven up and get ready for some intense action. They just don't make music like this anymore. The world today could use a little more Kenny Loggins. Again showing that just because your a "rock star," it doesn't mean that you can't grow a sweet beard.

Marc Gasol

You may know about Pau Gasol, the outstanding bearded power forward for the LA Lakers. But, how much do you know about his little brother, Marc? He may be Pau's little brother, but the guy is an absolute beast and looks like a true Spanish monster where his brother looks like a telephone pole. Marc was originally with the Lakers, but while he was still playing in Spanish leagues last year, they traded his rights to the Grizzlies for his brother Pau. This had to have been terrible to find out for Marc. I'm sure that Pau had been complaining about playing in Vancouver and how much the Grizzlies organization sucked, and how the only good thing they ever did was select Antonio Daniels #4 in the 1997 NBA Draft. And now Pau is a Laker and Marc is a Grizzly. That is a tough break. I guess he much take consolation in looking like a man bear. I have known about Marc for quite some time now, with peak interest in him being when the trade for Pau was made. Then the Gasol brothers played for Spain in the 08 Summer Olympics. I'm watching the game and just absolutely fall in love with Marc, who is without question my celebrity comparison. Well, if I put on 100 pounds and few a foot, very soon hopefully. After the game I got a call from my friend. He told me he saw me on TV today, and I was overly confused. Then he admitted that it was the 7 foot version of me. I started to laugh uncontrollably and fall to the ground. I was very happy that someone else recognized the fact of our similar appearance. There are very few people who would want to be compared appearance wise to a 7 foot hulk of a Spaniard, but I take it with the highest comparison. I have to admit though that he was be even more awesome if he spelled his name with a k, but that's a seperate story. We all know the better way to spell mark is with a k, not a c. My only hope is that Marc gets traded soon so I can see more of him on TV since they never show Grizzly games on national TV.
