Car of the Year:
We thought long and hard about what car really defined the decade and honestly it was tough to decide. It ended up being a 2 way tie, since both represent something different and yet accomplish so much. In no particular order:
The Tesla Roadster.
Any guy who knows cars, knows about this car because it represents the future of whats to come for sports cars in general. This AWD electric car jolts from 0 to 60 in 3.9 seconds and has a max speed at 125 mph. The thing is though, while it may only have 248 hp, it has 200 ft/lbs of torque available as soon as you punch the gas pedal. In case you numbnuts don't know, torque is what wins races. The electric motor provides all of the torque immediately unlike today's conventional engines. You don't just accelerate off the starting line, you literally blast off. And did I mention if you caress it, you can get 248 mpg? This is one of the cars of the decade because it's more than just brawn, it's got the brains and we should all thank Tesla for ensuring that we don't just have to drive Prius' to go green.The Bugatti Veyron.
Now I know it's hard to justify why a 1.5 million dollar car can be a car of the decade when no one can afford it. But look at it. It's more than a car, it's art, moving art. You think art can't be manly? Well why don't you listen to the 16-cylinder engine quad turbo, yes 4 fucking turbos, boost from 0 to 60 in 2.6 seconds and then reach it's 256.7 mph top speed. It's got a harmony that Beethoven himself would be jealous of. In a time when, everyone is cutting back, cars are getting smaller, greener, and well slower, this car says "Fuck you" to all of that. It's a technological marvel, a tribute to super cars and grand tourers of the past. It's the pinnacle of a dying breed. That's why it's a car of the decade. Because when us men decide to build absolutely ridiculous shit, we can and The Bugatti Veyron is the result.Gadget of the Decade:
This was really tough, like think about how much has changed. Cell phone users went from 1 in 9 in the U.S. to 1 in 3. Crazy. There was the invention of Myspace and Facebook as internet users increased. There was the rise of Twitter (which can burn in hell) and the end of every other search engine that wasn't named Google. So if we had to decide one gadget that really changed everything it would have to be a game changer, an absolute monster not only in the gadget itself but what it meant for future generations and social context.
The Apple IPhone.
Now hear me out, I'm a gadget guru alright, not a fan boy. I like anything that can make life easier and be just plain fucking cool. There are some great phones out there but when it all comes down to it, everything is compared against the IPhone. As man, we have shit to do and guess what, the IPhone allows us to do these things efficiently and with ease. When we've got to take care of business, whether it be e-mails or checking sports scores, we can. We can stay on top of our game, which is the goal of every gadget a man should own. But it's not the phone that's revolutionary (it has the same specs as any smart phone today) It's the software. There is an app (program)for EVERYTHING. (Here's a tip if you want to be taken seriously, don't install those stupid Gun or Fart Apps. When some chick grabs your phone to enter her number, I doubt she'll be impressed when your first page of apps is covered in dumb shit.) Also honestly, as much as I hate to say it, Itunes really is the easiest way to buy music, movies, and TV shows while also organizing your stuff. No longer are we tied down by slow fucking internet, or laptops, because we have a computer in the palm of our hands. The only thing that sucks is that why we use it to take care of shit, everyone and their grandma have one now to check their Facebook. It comes with the territory, but like any man should know, there's always something better around the corner.
Athlete of the Decade
Hands down this was the easiest for me to decide, I understand how fast Jimmy Johnson, that's why he's won back to back to back to back championships. I know how Roger Federer owned everyone in Tennis especially on the grass at the old england club. Peyton Manning and Tom Brady? Yup I thought about them. But NO ONE can really match our vote for athlete of the Decade.
Tiger Woods.
I'm not even going to bother listing numbers. He was flat out dominant in the past decade. In a sport, where everyone is inconsistent, Tiger Woods is as stable as a rock. There's no team, no pit crew, just him his caddy and his clubs. It's not like he's a lineman who can sack the shit out of people, and yet people still fear him when they play in the same group. The thing is, besides the fear, besides the fact that he's the first athlete to earn over a billion dollars, he's our Athlete of the Decade because of his mentality. It's his DRIVE, his desire to win at all costs, like his knee in the 2008 U.S. open. What makes us, us, is our lack of complacency and our ability to make things happen in the clutch. Tiger Woods represents all of these key factors. I could care less about the 104 other girls he slept with that were not his wife. I care about what he has done on the course. Tiger reminds us of how we should attack and achieve our goals.
Hottest College Athlete... EVER.
Alright so let me explain. There are good looking girls everywhere. Everywhere. So for all you ladies who love attention, you can stuff your cocky smug attitudes in your purse because for the most part you're a dime a dozen. Truly beautiful girls are hard to find and again girls if you're asking if you are one, then you're not. See these girls are more than just bombshells and smokeshows. They've got it all. Girls who are athletes tend to fit our personalities much better. Why? Because they have that similar instinct to win and everyone likes a Winner. Which brings me to why I'm talking about the hottest college athete ever. Originally totalprosports.com ran a story on the hottest female in college sports. They picked Cincinnati Tennis Captain Alizee Paradis
I've got to say, I completely agreed. She was the hottest college athlete known on record. Hell girls in Tennis and Volleyball are basically automatic locks. But, then I remembered Allison Stoke, a pole vaulter for the University of California.
After looking at both girls, I'm speechless. Agree to Disagree.
