Guest Blogging for Rusty

While Rusty's on vacation, he's asked me to help guest blog on his site. I know, we all miss Rusty, but maybe I can try to fill his shoes even partially while he's gone.

Allow me to introduce myself. Some of Rusty's readers know me already as I am an occassional commenter here as well as Rusty posts many of the similar stories that I do on my blog. My name is Chad Evans and I was born, raised and live in Texas. Being Texan naturally leads me to fulfill a few of the thousands of stereotypes about Texans, though I promise you not all of them are true (I don't own cattle).

I am 26 years old, operate my own small advertising agency/media buying company, do not have a family, and very proud of my alumni status as a graduate of the fine Texas Tech University.

I do not pretend to be an expert on anything I write other than my critiques on the media. Now how can I pretend to be an expert on the media? Well, I'm not an expert first off, but I have been published directly over 10 times, indirectly numerous times, performed media relations for two different sports organizations, have a degree in public relations and have a genuine interest in all things media related.

My hope during the next week or two, depending on his internet status during his second destination, is that I can keep you entertained and possibly enlightened on a few topics. There will be no test-blogging or gratuitous porn from me, but Rusty has promised both when he returns.

In an effort to keep up with the Star Wars themed site, I will explain something I noticed just the other week as being odd in Star Wars. In the second Star Wars, Attack of the Clones, Baba Fet and his father (whatever his name is) appeared to be a great warrior. Baba Fet grows up and is in the last three episodes. In Return of the Jedi, Baba Fet dies rather easily and clumsily. He flies into the Jaba the Hut ship and falls into the pit. How come a great warrior dies so easily?

Ok, enough of that. I'm not the type that stands in line for days prior to the opening of a new Star Wars movie, not that there's anything wrong with that. I just show up the day of and eat the roll-call list. All forms of criticism and praise are wanted and I operate on an open-door policy. Of course I'd like more praise than criticism, but all I ever seem to get is death threats and people calling me an idiot for my views.

Have fun and I hope this post will help the readers get to know me. If you hate my views and/or my posts, Rusty should return within two weeks. Until then though, you're stuck with me and a couple of other guest bloggers.
