Ignite This!

After 8 years of playing golf with the same crappy set of irons I bought on ebay for $59 from some dude in Florida who made them himself I finally took the plunge.

I went to Golf Galaxy the other day and got fitted for some new irons. Turns out that based on my height, arm length, and swing, i didn’t need any alterations made to the clubs. I hit some Calloway X-18s, but for some reason the ball was coming off of them with too low of a launch angle. The King Cobra FPs were better, but the set came with a 3 iron and not a hybrid. I hit the Nike Ignites as well as the Cobras, and the set came with the 3-Hybrid. Not to mention they were $100 cheaper than the Cobras.

SOLD.

I’ll put these things to test next thursday at the Charity Tournament I’m playing in, if not sooner.

Beautiful People

May 7th, 2008 by Bryan Allain | 2 Comments | Filed in life

You guys aren’t going to believe this, but People Magazine has actually sifted through the faces of the world’s 6.6 billion people and have found the 100 Most Beautiful! It’s crazy, I know, but they’ve done the legwork. I know this because it says there, right on the cover, that these are the 100 Most Beautiful People.

What’s even more amazing - Most of these people are in American movies, television, and music! I know, I know, how lucky are we as Americans? The answer - very lucky.

But wait, here’s the most amazing thing of all: the cast of Gossip Girl ALL made the list. SEVEN PEOPLE! What are the odds that 7 of the World’s Most 100 Beautiful People are all on the same TV show? I don’t know, but it’s got to be at least 50,000 billion to three. Just astounding.

If you want to see the full list of The World’s Most Beautiful People, ya know, maybe to see if you’re one of them, pick up your copy of People Magazine the next time you’re buying some Ben and Jerry’s at the supermarket. Good Luck!

The ABCs of Summer Sports

What do nearly naked old men have to with the Italian swim team? What’s my nickname for the Kentucky Derby winner? What summer activity might get me fired?

I’ve got an article featured on the front page of Burnside this week that will answer all those questions. It’s called “The ABCs of Summer Sports” and it was a lot of fun to put together.

Check it out and let me know what you think…
