Today is Blake Shelton’s Birthday. So how should I celebrate? Well, first and foremost, a couple of tequila shots seem to be in order. My Bro-crush on Blake is just that… It’s a simple Bro-crush. He seems like a cool ass down-to-earth guy that I’d like to have a beer with at some point. I did meet him at a press conference and I got to shake his hand. And for those 10 seconds, he was just as cool as I had imagined. So, if I never get to have my beer with him, I guess I’ll live. I’ll just be a fan from the sidelines. But maybe one day, he’ll stroll into my bar and sing join me as a sing “Neon Lights” on my karaoke stage on a random Friday or Saturday Night!
