Bad Dad
While watching the Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus Best of Both Worlds concert, the show gets to the high-heel race some radio station put on for the Dads to win 4 tickets to the concert, and backstage passes. These guys went all out, raced hard, sacrificing their bodies, just to get a priceless memory for their girls.
My 9-year old yells across the room, “You would so lose THAT!”. To me. The guy that took her to not one, not two, but 3 Father-Daughter Dances.
I didn’t miss a beat.
“You’re right, honey, because I’d have never started the race. I s’pose that means I don’t love you as much as those other Dads love their little girls.”
Young girls sacrifice Hannah Montana tickets to help friend
There is a story locally about 4 young girls who willingly donated their tickets to the Hannah Montana / Miley Cyrus concert in Jacksonville at the end of January, to be used in a raffle fundraiser for another girl. She has a rare condition that affects her eyesight, and needs to travel to China for an experimental treatment.
From the homepage of blessherwithsight.com:
Rylee Lovett is a beautiful, happy six year old girl living in Saint Augustine, Florida with a rare congenital condition known as Optic Nerve Hypoplasia (ONH). This rare condition, of unknown causes has left her with less than ten percent of her optic nerve. Her endocrine system was also affected, leaving her with a daily regimen of medication and injections. Since diagnosis at four months of age doctors have said that nothing can be done. She would be blind with no hope of recovery.
Until recently there was no hope of Rylee growing up to see the world in the way everyone else does. Recently, doctors in China began using the blood discarded after the birth of a child to restore sight in children like Rylee. This innovative transplant of stem cells, collected through the umbilical cord of afterbirth, has given other ONH children the ability to see. It has even given one little girl the ability to recognize her mother’s face when previously she could not even see light.
Please help to bless Rylee this holiday season with this same gift of sight. She wants to see her favorite television show DragonTales, to take gymnastics with her little sister, and above all to see the faces of her loved ones. Please help us meet our goal of $60,000 and send Rylee to China to give her the chance to see. With your help this beautiful child can be lucky enough to get the priceless gift of sight this holiday season.
Please head over to the site to buy your raffle tickets through paypal, or to just make a donation.

Navel-gazing and thinking about Hannah Montana
I admitted a few weeks ago that I like Hannah Montana.
Florida Sun Dog-say-what?
Perhaps I should clarify: I like the Hannah Montana TV show. You pervs can just get your sick minds out of the gutter.
So, I was watching the latest episode of Hannah over the weekend with some great guest performances turned in by Vicki Lawrence and Dolly Parton. Ok, Vicki did a great job. They really seemed to limit Dolly’s over-the-top antics since this is a kid’s show (ahem) and all. Can’t really make a bunch of overt boob jokes on Disney, you know?
But, I have to say that Dolly still looks great. Not just for her age – for any age. Now that she’s admitted to getting to a certain age, I guess I’d have to describe her as a GILF. Sweet Niblets…
Man, this show has been getting some great guest stars lately. In addition to Dolly and Vicki, Brooke Shields, Heather Locklear, and The Rock have all guest appeared.
Anyway, a few questions crossed my mind while watching this episode:
1. How long before Jackson and Lilly hook up?
2. Why do Rico and Oliver have the exact same hair?
3. Why does Billy Ray try to make himself look like Keith Urban?
4. How long before Miley realizes the Hannah-hair looks better than the natural stuff?
5. Is it just me, or is that kid playing Jackson the most talented performer on the show?
6. Where the hell did Roxy go? Roxy like a puma…
Man, I really need to get a life…

The Best of Both Worlds: A father’s admission about Hannah Montana
Mark of the Mark, Gennie, & Dahmer (MGD) morning show at Rock 104.5 in Jacksonville made a startling admission on Monday’s show, a dark secret shared by the fathers of daughters across the country: He likes watching Hannah Montana.
Of course, Mark’s son is only 3 1/2 years old and has no interest in Hannah Montana. Perv.
As the father of two little princesses, I am intimately familiar with all things Hannah… perhaps I should phrase that differently. As a responsible parent of two young ladies, I monitor their television viewing habits by watching their shows with them.
That’s better.
Anyway, I tell my wife regularly that I think l’il Miley Cyrus is one heckuva good comedic actress. In fact, she’s a way better actress than she is singer. The Disney machine tries to do too much with her voice, in my opinion, making it something it really isn’t. But this girl can act!
So, it was with the sort of relief a closet alcoholic feels when their secret is discovered that I listened to Mark’s admission: Shame, mixed with the hope that someone out there understands – it’s the talent, dammit, the talent!
Of course, then MGD put together their tribute song to Hannah Montana (NSFW)**, and I stopped feeling like I’d bonded with Mark and started reviewing the FDLE sexual predator database.
**Song removed from their website for whatever reason – copyright? trademark? good taste?
