A few weeks ago we all shared some things we DIDN’T support.

This time we’ll flip it around.

in no particular order, here’s a few things that have my FULL support

+ more instant replay in baseball

+ bbq chicken pizza (especially from Peace a Pizza)

+ Garnier Fructis Extra Strong hair gel

+ The Most Interesting Man in the World from the Dos Equis commercials.

+ whoever is playing the Yankees

+ wearing V-necks (as long as they stay at or above nip height)

+ circus peanuts

+ The Red Zone Channel on DirecTV

+ Martin guitars, D’Addario strings, and Dunlop 0.60 nylon picks

+ straight leg jeans

+ unscented deodorant/antiperspirant

+ loose leaf tea from Teavana

+ getting up early to write

+ World Series games starting at 8pm EST

+ curly fries

+ having 4 Fantasy Football teams (keeps you from caring about any one too much)

+ The B.S. Report podcast from ESPN

+ new worship music from Fee, Aaron Keyes, and Jared Anderson.

+ coffee in the morning

What about you?

Want to give your stamp of approval to something or someone?

Here’s your chance.

    Hmm…I'll have to give this some thought, then post it on my blog. I wasn't able to do the don't support one, because instead of coming up with a list, I'd end up on a tangent about something on my list. But dwelling on things I like…I should be able to focus on that, I would think….

    This is ENTIRELY unrelated…
    but i’ve been reading your blog for a few months now, yada yada

    I was sitting in my living room, trying to decide what in the world i was going to wear for my halloween party next week. i actually spent a few hours online, searching for inspiration, to no avail. I’ve been feeling pretty annoyed of late by Chicago tourists, and was going to go dressed as one of them, when SUDDENLY i remembered your blog.

    and i remembered my “Intercourse was everything I thought it would be… (PA)” t-shirt I bought a year ago. And my shot glass. And I determined that I would make a book cover for one of my books and carry around an “I [heart] the Amish” makeshift book. And, of course, my camera.

    I’m going to be an Amish country tourist. And i think i have you to thank.
