Since college I've been supporting ALS research and it's amazing to see that the Ice Bucket Challenge not only has brought more attention and awareness to this debilitating condition, but has fund raised millions more dollars for this cause.
My buddies Zac Grimaldo, Beaux Wellborn, and I were challenged by Jamie and Warren Nugent to participate in the Ice Bucket Challenge.
Here's our own unique spin on the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.
Enjoy!

I do rock some killer boots, and the love for my dog is best described in any country music song (nope, my dog hasn't died).
As any normal Texas guy would agree, we appreciate a respectable Texas girl.
It goes without saying that Texas girls are pretty amazing...God Bless Texas! But what's better than a Texas girl?
A TEXAS Pageant Girl.
Beautiful, smart, charming, polite, independent, wears a crown, avoids anything outdoors between April to October to keep her spray tan from melting -- this list could go on and on -- but here are 11 Ways to Know You're a TEXAS Pageant Girl:

Top 25 Most Annoying Pageant Phrases
[dt_divider style="wide"/]
I've done it...you've done it...we ALL have done it.
We are ALL guilty of spouting off cliche pageant sayings over the course of pageant weekend -- in person, online, over texts -- in hopes of sounding intelligent, informed, and understanding. In an effort to prevent the recycled pageant phrases of yesteryear from haunting us any further, and to spark some ORIGINALITY, let's identify some of these annoying phrases.
NOTE: Although I didn't use any infamous YouTube punchlines in the likes of "maps", "such as", or "the Iraq", I kept to the more common and annoying sayings you're familiar with hearing each pageant season (including personal commentary) beginning with...
These honorable mentions did not make the Top 25 list, but certainly have the potential to be:
USAGE: She's a strong competitor. She could make a splash at Miss USA!
• the Pageant Guy says: I'm still determining if this is a compliment or insult.
USAGE:Â Girl, those judges are blind. You should've won!
