Another Reason to Celebrate

Today is a very special day, and one that sometimes gets overlooked because of its close proximity Christmas. I know that this time of year is for Christians to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ (even though he was really born in the summer), but let's not forget another important man—Eddie Vedder—who turns 44 on this day.

At the risk of having a bunch of zealots try to burn down my blog, I would like to point out that there are many similarities between Jesus and Eddie. Observe...

- They both have gorgeous, naturally wavy hair.
- They both look good with a beard.
- They both were raised by men who weren't really their fathers.
- They're both wine drinkers.
- They're both big fans of that whole "peace on Earth" deal.
- They both have legions of "disciples" who will follow them around the country, or at least go see them every time they're in town.
- Their words are often misinterpreted.
- They're often misunderstood by the press.

I guess that's about it, but that's quite a lot! I guess when it comes down to it, Jesus is probably the "better man" because he died for our sins. But I'd still like to commit a few sins with Eddie before I die.
