The REAL Josh Anderson

My dream home theater. Enough said.

Today really snuck up on me. It seems like just a few days ago that my head lost about 2 pounds of hair to help childhood cancer. I found myself searching for ways to get out of the painting over the past week, but I kept thinking of the folks that dished out their hard-earned money to see me with an orange and brown head.

The guilt took over and I ran to Wal-Mart at 5:50 AM this morning to find some face paint. As always, Wally World saved me by having their Halloween stuff front-and-center.

I know you don't care about the commentary, so here are some photos:



Let's just hope I can get this off my head before tonigh's big game!!!

1. I get called a lot of interesting names. Some of my favorites are Sloth (yeah, the guy from The Goonies), Humpty Dumpty, Bald Bull, and King Hippo. I am, however, a little disappointed that no one threw out Jabba. That one seemed so obvious to me.

2. Hair insulates amazingly well. I am constantly astounded at how much cooler I am without hair.

3. Breezes are way more noticeable now that my scalp is bare. This certainly helps with the cooling effect when I start to overheat.

4. My head is quite weathered. We found dents, scars, and odd nicks when the rug was removed. My shaver, Jeffery Paul (whose clients include Al Learner and other famous folk) even remarked at how much it appears my head had been through.

As previously blogged about, I volunteered to shave my head for childhood cancer. Many people stepped up to the plate and donated their hard-earned money to help support this great cause. I thank you all who helped me raise $650 in less than 48 hours. If only I had started sooner...

Well, I know you are all waiting to see what my massive melon looks like sans hair, so here you go (click on the image to see the scary image up close and way too personal):


Since I reached my "bonus" goal of $500, I agreed to have my head shaved again and painted brown and orange the Friday before the first Steelers/Browns game. That should be interesting, and I am sure those pictures will be even more eagerly anticipated.

My boys (The Bearcats) just inked a home-and-home deal with Oklahoma. Most impressive...

The Bearcats will travel to Norman on Sept. 6, 2008 to begin the series and will host the Sooners on September 25, 2010 at Paul Brown Stadium.

I really like the direction they are headed, and Coach Kelly seems to know the steps needed to get us to that next level: "If we expect Bearcats football to be a national presence and compete in the BCS, we need to play nationally recognized programs"

The big question on my mind is, how long will Coach Kelly stay around? Is this just a stop on the way to bigger and better things? I fear that it is, but I sincerely hope not. I like what he has done over his first few months. Whether they win or not, remains to be seen. But I feel good about the season...

My company has a long-standing tradition of supporting many wonderful causes helping childhood cancer patients (St. Jude, Wigs For Kids, etc.). Our latest endeavor is St. Baldrick's, and after receiving full clearance from the wife (I'm no dummy!), my head gets shaved on Wednesday morning.

So, exactly how much would you pay to see my with a shaved head? There is one way to find out. Please donate, anything you can (either online or the old school way by printing this PDF).
