No, I don't have any weird destruction fixations, nor am I a pyro or anything. But being unsupervised for 5 hours overnight inside a 12x12 studio in a big old empty building allows me to spend ALOT of time dinking around on the internet on the company dime...for show preparation purposes, of course:) I recently discovered I LOVE watching  giant buildings plummet to the ground...and YES, if it's planned!!!

My wife and I recently celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. For #1, we stayed at the 2nd incarnation of the Aladdin Hotel And Casino in Las Vegas. In honor of our special day, enjoy the destruction of the original Aladdin in 1998.

I can copy and paste with the best of them!!!

"Ice-Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice vs "Pressure" by David Bowie!  "Girlfriend" by Avril Lavigne vs "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend" by the Rubinoos! You hear it all the time..."So and so ripped off my song...SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!". They say imitation is the highest form of flattery. Just take it as a compliment and move on!

That new Coldplay song we're playing, "Viva La Vida" (the one from the iTunes commercials), was apparently stolen from a little-known American band that calls themselves Creaky Boards. You be the judge!

After my fun, yet extremely exhausting, Brewers/Twins  Fathers Day weekend in Milwaukee (Mill-e-wah-que, which is Algonquin for "the good land"...yes, photos are coming soon!), this copy-n-paste represents represents just about how much energy I have saved for blogging this morning!

 8 Big Beauty Sins. Cosmo got pro advice for rehabbing bad beauty behavior (we're all guilty of some). Now you can go about looking hot the right way.

1.      Nibbling on Your Cuticles. Why it's a no-no: Torn cuticles lead to hangnails and infections, says Jessica Vartoughian, owner of Jessica Nail Clinic in Los Angeles.

2.      Swapping Your Strand Shade Frequently. Why it's a no-no: Trading your tress tint occasionally is okay, but dyeing your hair too often can make it weak and lead to an identity crisis. Sure, celebs like Rachel McAdams and Ashlee Simpson constantly switch up their hair hue, but they do it for a movie or to capture attention on the red carpet. And they put in major moolah and extra TLC to undo or hide the damage.

3.      Hitting the Sack Without Washing Your Face. Why it's a no-no: Sleeping with mascara and eye makeup on can cause you to wake up with unattractive dark circles from makeup residue and maybe even an infection, says New York City celeb derm Patricia Wexler. And layers of foundation, concealer, and blush will stop your skin from breathing and clog up your pores, making your complexion acne-prone and dull-looking. Even if you didn't wear makeup during the day, your skin accumulates oil and dirt, both of which can also lead to pimples if not washed away in the p.m.

4.      Fake-Baking in a Tanning Bed. Why it's a no-no: UVA rays (the kind emitted primarily from tanning-bed bulbs) are called aging rays for a reason -- they penetrate your connective tissue, causing premature sagging and the proliferation of wrinkle-causing free radicals.

5.      Torturing Your Tresses with Heat. Why it's a no-no: Wielding a hair dryer, curling iron, or flatiron daily (or a combo of any of the above) will dry out your locks, leaving them dull, frizzy, and weak, says Joico artist Anthony Morrison, owner of the Londoner Salon in Los Angeles.

6.      Overbleaching Your Teeth. Why it's a no-no: Your pearly whites can only get so bright, no matter how many times you bleach them, so any treatments you do after reaching your maximum level of whiteness (they shouldn't be bluish or whiter than the whites of your eyes) are more hurtful than helpful, says Cyrus Tahmasebi, a dentist with BriteSmile. "Constantly applying hydrogen peroxide to your teeth can leave them ultrasensitive and prone to chipping."

7.      Using Makeup Testers. Why it's a no-no: Your chances of contracting herpes or pinkeye from the bacteria and germs found in the testers at a makeup counter are slim, but theoretically it could happen, according to Dr. Wexler. And let's face it, it's a little (okay, a lot) icky to share lipstick or eye shadow with tons of total strangers.

8.     Popping Your Pimples. Why it's a no-no: You should maintain a strict hands-off policy when it comes to your zits. Can't resist? How's this for motivation: Messing with a pimple can extend its staying power to seven to 10 days instead of the normal two to three, since the dirt from your fingers can force bacteria into your pores and cause an infection.

My wife, Sarah, never skimps out and takes the easy road with anything. When she does something...she goes all out. If you made it to our Halloween bash last year, you would have seen her work ethic in the Prince (as in puny purple wearing guy from Minneapolis) costume she put together for me. All I had to do was grow and sculpt a thin little Prince-like moustache...Which I get to do again!!!

It's "Prince Theme Night" at the St. Paul Saints game this Saturday, and I get to throw out the opening pitch! It's also KS95 Night, meaning we'll be on the plaza while your tailgaiting with tons of free swag and a FULLY LOADED KS95 prize wheel!

See ya there!
