OK, now I'm really into lists because their such an easy format for blogs. Don't have anything to blog about? Make a list. So my list for today: All of the bandwagons I hopped on over the years:
1) the Dirk Nowitzki Bandwagon (aka the Wunderkind Bandwagon): I'm not just a passenger on this bandwagon, I'm pretty much the driver of this bandwagon (please see last post for more thourough example of what it takes to be the driver of the Wunderkind Bandwagon). If this comes as a suprize to you, you do not know me at all and we are no longer friends...my condolences for your loss.
2) On that note, any bandwagon having to do with the Dallas Mavericks, except the Mark Cuban Bandwagon, because he needs to sit down and shut up. But he isn't jumping off the Mavericks bandwagon (a bandwagon which he kind of owns), so you got to give him props for that; he ain't no bandwagon jumper.
3) the Dallas Cowboys Bandwagon: sure, they aren't as good as they used to be (Emmit-Aikman era), but they're still and will always be America's team. Also, being a native of Dallas, I got to support the Cows!!
4) the Randy Galloway Bandwagon: I love Randy Galloway. He knows what he's talking about and he knows how to apropriatly talk about it (unlike some people I know *cough*Boyce*cough*). He knows that the Mavs (and every other Dallas team this year) kind of, well, fell flat, but yet he's still supportive in his own vindictive, self-servinig, harsh sort of way. And I agree with everything he says except for a few rare occasions.
5) the Bill Simmons Bandwagon: I don't always agree with what Bill says, but he's a great writer. Just look at my facebook profile. Pretty much all my quotes are from him. After the NBA finals in 2006, I found his blog on the state of the NBA and read the entire thing out loud to my parents; it was 11 pages long and I made them sit through it. And he's witty, oh so witty. And his page on ESPN.com has a picture of the infamous cowbell- Blue Oyster Clut skit from SNL. You gotta listen to what someone like that has to say.
6) the wide-leg pant Bandwagon: this has nothing to do with sports, I'm actually talking about wide-leg pants. I just love them. They're really comfy and cute and I don't feel like a fat-ass in them.
7) the Jogging Bandwagon: Ya, this bandwagon started way back when, but it's still going strong. It doesn't matter how many gyms open, you will always see people jogging around their neighborhoods, taking in the scenery. I love it because it feels like I'm actually going somewhere, unlike the tredmill. Plus getting to jog around Highland Park is incentive enough: it's really pretty and there are sidewalks everywhere.
