I'm reminded of how proud I am of my town, and the people that live in it, when I witness events like Bowl For Jason's Friends.

Another day, another successful event at the Casper Events Center. This time, it was the 2012 Wyoming State Wrestling Championship. Teams from all across Wyoming ventured into Casper to fight like the gladiators that they are while wearing extremely tight-fitting spandex.

‘Shot Through The Heart’ Contest Winners Get Sweet Vindication [VIDEO]
With the contest over, and the winners selected, there was only one thing left to do in the 'Shot Through The Heart' contest: Shoot things. And that's exactly what these three beautiful-yet-bitter young women did.

Cover Of The Day- Johnny Cash Is ‘Hurt’ [VIDEO]
Johnny Cash is one of the most powerful singer/song-writers that has ever lived. The live that he lived, and the stories that he's told via his music, are beautiful. He had quite the journey, and that's why his cover of Nine Inch Nail's 'Hurt' is so magnetic and poignant. He didn't write the song, but you know he means every word that he sings. And you can tell by looking into his eyes that there'
This Girl Is A Demon- Can Say Any Word Backwards [VIDEO]
I'm not sure why this is so intriguing, but it sort of blows my mind. This girl can say any word backwards. She's a freak. I wish I was there, because I would tell her to say Racecar backwards. She'd be confused!
Cover Of The Day- Chris Cornell Sings Billie Jean [VIDEO]
I may be one of Michael Jackson's biggest fans. Even in the midst of all of his courtroom drama, I stood by his side (metaphorically) and preached his innocence. When he died, I cried.

Cover Of The Day- Seasons After Covers ‘Cry Little Sister’
The Lost Boys is one of my favorite 80's movies ever. It's one of those films that really captures a time period. The movie is awesome, but the soundtrack may be even better. 'Cry Little Sister,' by Gerard McMann is one of the creepiest, most haunting, most beautiful songs I've ever heard, and it fit perfectly with the movie. Evidently, Seasons After felt the same way, as they covered the song and
Cover Of The Day- The Lemonheads Cover ‘Mrs. Robinson.’
Simon and Garfunkel are one of my favorite bands. I grew up listening to them, because my parents loved them. Now that I'm a grown man, I still love them, and "Mrs. Robinson" is still one of my favorite songs of all time. So when I heard that The Lemonheads did a cover of it, I wanted to hate it. I really really wanted to hate it. But then I heard it. And I couldn't. While not as...sweet
