Levels of unthinkable disgrace
There's been a lot of talk lately.
While, yes, it is true that I got a haircut, rumors have been swirling about the AP blogosphere with unsubstantiated claims that I bite (or have previously engaged in biting) the heads off of cats.
I didn't want to bring it up, but it all stemmed from a certain AP staffer being upset that my blog was the most read of all the blogs on this site. I was sort of surprised to find out that it was a competition and even more surprised to find out that I had won and even more, more surprised to find out that we were resorting to smear tactics.
I'd just like to respond to the flood of e-mails (three) I've received from readers who were concerned that I was eating cat(s).
This is the photo in question:
First of all, this picture is crazy old.
When this was taken, the following bands didn't exist yet: Panic At The Disco, Cobra Starship, Cute Is What We Aim For and (+44).
Don't believe me?
Please refer to the facts noted:
A: I still had guitars set up in a way that suggested I was actively attempting to convince myself that I could play guitar. Now I just have them set up in a way that is actively attempting to convince others that I can play guitar.
B: I still had longish hair. And my haircut was even brought up in the very blog that accused me of these heinous acts.
C: Look at those shoes. I've got a girlfriend now who would never put up with that kind of shit.
D: That's an Xbox controller. Not an Xbox 360 controller. Admittedly, I typically can't afford to keep up with breaking technology, but if I was still playing an old-school Xbox at this point, I might as well be playing a Sega Dreamcast or with a bunch of sticks I found in my parking lot.
And perhaps the best proof of all: A blurry, hastily taken photo of me and my cat from three minutes ago.
Please note:
A: My cat very much alive with her head intact.
B: Sleek new haircut.
So the moral of this story is not to believe everything you read in certain blogs that have stooped to levels of unthinkable disgrace.
Also, that particular staffer would like for you to believe that he is the savior of all puppies great and small because of this picture:
But the truth is that he severely Photoshopped that image.
This is the ACTUAL photograph:
Yes.
That's Scott Heisel with The Hills sleazeball Spencer Pratt.
And a little of Heidi Montag.
Now whose side are you on?

while i believe you, my brother said "that picture of the cat:for all i know, that head is really decapitated, and he just photoshopped it back on." he also suggested that "the picture was probably taken blurry on purpose so readers couldn't tell if the cat was dead". rude. i believe you tim.
One, your cat is ridiculously pretty. And two, I just laughed so hard I spilled my lucky charms.
For all we know, it could be more likely that your cat could decapitate YOU. In other words, I believe you. =)

i actually thought whats up with those shoes when i saw the first picture, then as i read on, you brought it up.
and i better never see you wearing those.
I'm officially starting Team Tim over here. :D
We believe in you, your cat and your sleek new haircut.
I'm joining Team Tim.
That's it.
I'm initiating a limited print run of "Team Tim" t-shirts as we speak.
Ooh, instead, I think I might have them say "Team Tim T-Shirt."
That's actually the best thing I've ever heard.
I'm takin' orders, son.
sign me up for a "team tim t-shirt."
i think i woke up my housemates when I burst out laughing at the picture of Scott and Sleazeball Spencer.
This might be the best blog you've written yet. Sign me up for Team Tim too. Your shirts should mention the fact that you pride yourself on not eating cats.
Dude!
Put me down for a box of those T-shirts..
I was on the fence at first, but god, the Speidi Pratt madness, I just can't take!
In the first picture you look like Lindsay Macdougall (The Doctor) from Frenzal Rhomb.
Also, sweet cat.
