Hey hey, Merry Belated Christmas Folks!
Sorry I wasn't here in person to drink egg-nog with you but you know how things get this time of year.

BROKE.

Anyways, in keeping with the holiday spirit of re-connecting with your friends and family I have realized that sometimes we all have some secrets that we are afraid to tell each other in fear of losing their love. I too am guilty of holding dear to a deep dark secret.

I am a huge fan of trucker music. I'm talking give me a cup of mud and a pavement princess and we're ready to roll. (see the CB Slang site)

Ever since I heard the sound of C.W. McCall, I knew I needed to be a trucker. I am not a trucker yet, but as many of you know I love driving. Always down for a road trip, pissed off at gas prices, and excited for the next Arby's 5 for 5 deal.

So without further ado, a couple of gems. When these bad boys come on in the gym (and no one is looking) I jam the hell out.

One that will bring the tears out,

Just a huge fan of his voice and style, this is the most famous of the bunch. They made a movie because they didn't think people could visualize how awesome this song was. Convoy (IMDB) I mean the movie stars Kris Kristofferson, one of the manliest men who was a boxer then a scholar at Oxford. I mean come on. (also one of the few men allowed to have a beard in my opinion)

Del Reeves - Girl on the Billboard


Who is the girl wearing nothing but a smile And a
towel in the picture on the billboard in the field
near the big old highway Rolling down the highway
in my Jimmy hauling freight From Chicago to St
Louis Lord I see her every day A double clutching
weasel like me can hardly ever get a girl to look
at him that way Like the girl wearing nothing but
a smile And a towel in the picture on the billboard
in the field near the big old highway

Well what a girl wearing nothing but a smile And a
towel in the picture on the billboard in the field
near the big old highway I bet it wouldn't take
her very long to be gone If someone would pull a
dirty trick and take her hot pants away I slow my
Jimmy down to twenty that's how many wrecks I see
there every day Caused by the girl wearing nothing
but a smile And a towel in the picture on the
billboard in the field near the big old highway

A doo da doo doo doo doo da doo doo doo

Doggone that girl wearing nothing but a smile And
a towel in the picture on the billboard in the
field near the big old highway Sleepy headed
painter said the girl wasn't real better get the
(kwee) on my way On Route 66 from the billboard to
Chicago You'll find tiny pieces of my heart
scattered every which a way Shattered by the girl
wearing nothing but a smile And a towel in the
picture on the billboard in the field near the big
old highway

A doo da doo doo doo doo da doo doo doo dee da dee
dee doo
