What I am talking about is when you realize... "You must have got all of your mom's genes but occasionally you borrow your dads jean shorts!". (As a side note I do not own any jean shorts but Kylie did make me thrown away my Jncos.) Whether it be Baby A inheriting your extremely overactive sweat glands making her look like she just took a dip with Shamu or Baby B throwing her food on the floor like she is middle reliever for the New York Yankees!!
Well over the last few months I have realized that Baby B, aka Hallee, and I have developed a similar interest in entertainment. This interest is best explained by following the old adage of "A picture paints a thousands words" as shown by my FB page...
Not sure if I should be proud or disappointed but I do know that we will both be "Alright, Alright, Alright"!! That is correct, we both love Matthew Mcconaughey but in very different ways. (I have confidently displayed Matthew Mcconaughey on FB ever since April 1st of 2014 when my wife put an opened shirt picture of a Nicholas Cage as my wallpaper. After regretfully seeing "Ghost Rider" I just could not stand for that!!!)
You might know Matthew for possibly living in his parents house for way too long, trying to get a woman to fall in love with him in 10 days, or even traveling through a wormhole in space to ensure the survival of humanity. Regardless of the what comes to mind, in our family Matthew Mcconaughey represents 2 things:
- Buster Moon from Sing: An eccentric Koala who never pays the lease on his theater but has a wealthy friend and a community of musically talented animals.
- Matthew Mcconaughey from Lincoln Motor Company: A suave gentleman with some of the best one liners and awkward silences that TV has ever seen.
Nearly every day Hallee wakes up runs to our remotes and in her reformed Russian demands that we watch Sing. If you have not seen Sing and have kids I highly recommend investing in the movie as Buster Moon and his gang morph Hallee from an emotional roller-coaster to a kid on a jet ski. I dare you to find me a mad kid on a jet ski....google it, it is not possible!!
Little does Hallee know that when she goes to bed every so often dad pulls up YouTube and watches all of the Matthew Mcconaughey Lincoln commercials. If you have not done this I recommend watching them in this order
- "Driving through the city at night while rolling your thumb and index finger"
- "Falling backwards into a pool"
- "Sitting in the back seat"
- "Staring down a bull on a desert road"
- "Sitting at a railroad crossing in anticipation of a future train"
Watch the attached videos and try not to move Matthew Mcconaughey up 17 notches on your list of coolest actors/celebrity endorsers!! He is a linguistic genius light years ahead of his time and I will forever be indebted for the one liners his commercials have given society!
Philo T Farnsworth himself would reinvent the TV just so we could experience these gems over and over and over again....
No matter what happens in life just remember that in a Lincoln everything will be "Alright, Alright, Alright!!"
