So I was thinking today about the purpose of this “blog” and what I’m trying to accomplish or whatever. Truth be told, I’ve NEVER really thought about it before. I didn’t really come to any definative conclusions so I’ll just leave it at this…
I’m not out to change the world with my posts, I’m not trying to get the attention of some bigger entity so I can be on a larger scale and I sure as hell am not out to impress anyone. This ummmm, shall we call it “daily” posting is merely a collection of my thoughts, random rants with any topic I feel at the time and of course some good mindless entertainment. If I can open a few eyes or educate a few people I suppose thats just a huge bonus.
In other words, if you, my readers simply come and read and actually come back I guess I’m doing ok. I will admit that it does feel good to see some people posting. I could probably go so far as to say its pretty much the only reason I’ve been keeping it up so Thanks.
On that note, some brilliant work by K Swiss with none other than…Kenny Powers!
Some pretty inspiring stuff eh? Makes me want some Tubes! I really get Kenny and if one day I am lucky enough to meet him I would like to think he would get me too. His words go right to my soul and in honor to him I think I should paint one of his quotes on the wall at SPARK…maybe in the new gym.
“Do yourself and the rest of the people that have to look at your disgusting body a favor and get training”

I’ll start off the comments with a little extra Kenny Powers. There is one more video out there that shows the negotiations when Kenny signed his contract with K Swiss.
Its a lot more brash and vulgar and well…a lot more Kenny.
I’m not telling you to go watch it, I’m just letting you know its out there. If you are easily offended or don’t find Mr. Powers very funny DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO. Especially If you are a giant raging puss.

I think my 2 favourite quotes from that are:
“Secret Muscles…..powww!”
“I’ll be over here gettin my swell on…”
This is just genius marketing from K-Swiss. Almost makes me want to try those damn shoes. hahahaha

Kenny mother f’n Powers is my awesome!
My favavorite Kenny Powers quote is (When principal says that he does triathlons) “I play real sports…not trying to be the best at exercising.”
I can’t wait to go get a pair of tubes

Uhhh Steve…you haven’t been drinking have you? Oh, never mind, I get it. You’re trying to be like his weirdo “assistant” aren’t you!
Good job because like him, your first sentence didn’t really make sense.

Those are awesome… great find Kim. Huge credit to K-Swiss for going all in with these ads. My shoes are starting to wear out so I will be trying on some Tubes thanks to the great marketing.
Now for one of my favorite quotes from Kenny Powers:
“I’ve had a lot of memories in my life, and sometimes you kinda have to dump small ones to make room for bigger ones.”

“But a true champion, face to face with his darkest hour, will do whatever it takes to rise above. A man fights, and fights, and then fights some more. Because surrender is death, and death is for pussies.”

Jonny. You really need to stop letting Jenny make comments using your profile. She is going to get you in trouble.
