Maybe Only I Will Enjoy This

So, I like basketball, right? And it is playoffs time, so things are good. Yelling at my TV, talking to the players like they can hear me - all completely sane. I saw this today and was mildly interested (can you blame me? Dwayne Wade is kinda cute!).



The most interesting thing, how much Charles Barkley has let himself go.
What happened?!?! Anyway, that's what's on my mind today. Well, that and kinda hoping the Lakers lose tonight.

A Peek Into the Single Life

Two things have been said to me lately that just make me laugh.

The first, after asking a guy if he was working, going to school, both, neither: "I'm actually in an alternative-jail program right now."

The second: "I bet you probably have a ton of guys after you, but if you are ever bored and want to hang out with a guy that will probably try to make out with you, I'd love to hang out."

Good stuff, right?

Celebs, Part Two

My brain is fried right now. I don't want to do anything that requires major thinking. So you get a little blog! I was thinking about my celebrity crush post and realized that I had not included a single blondie in the mix. However, after looking at a picture of Kevin Connolly (below), I got to thinking about other fair-haired crushes I might have. It was easy.

Kevin Connolly, as you can see. Just a cute, funny guy.

Paul Bettany. Do you know how hard it is to find a picture of this guy smiling? It's not easy. He has played a lot of serious roles (Da Vinci Code, Firewall, A Beautiful Mind), so maybe that's why. He's still handsome though.

Ah, Daniel Craig. This picture is from my favorite scene out of Casino Royale. I didn't think it'd be appropriate to show the actual portion of this scene that is truly my favorite. He's just a hunk. That's all there is to it.

Simon Baker. Just a handsome dude with a wicked smile. And he plays fairly witty characters.

Damian Lewis. He had me as Dick Winters in Band of Brothers and the infatuation continued with Charlie Crews in Life.

Now, let's play "One of These Things is Not Like the Other". All of these men, save one, have a commonality. Any guesses?

Inherited Trait

I have come to a conclusion. I inherited my penchant for cheesy, giddy behavior from the two people below. My oldest sibling either doesn't have these traits, or suppresses this facet of his personality very well, because it doesn't come out often. As for the rest of us, it is apparent in almost everything we do. Annoying? Yes. Endearing? Absolutely!Mel stole my camera for this fantastic picture.

Grant stole my computer for this one.

I wonder if either of them will regret doing so...

Train of Thought

I think that sometimes, to understand a post of mine, you have to understand the train of thought leading up to a post.

For instance, today, while watching The Office, they mentioned Youngstown, Ohio, which led to me thinking, "Wasn't there a band called Youngstown?", which led to Google, which led to this awesome picture, which led to sampling their music.
Seeing the picture above made me think that not all "boy bands" of the 90s were clean cut. And this made me think I kind of liked that. Then I went to YouTube where all of these awesome bands had clips from their Disney concerts. And I found the boys below. 5ive. Man, I loved these guys. Disney was so smart to repeat these concerts constantly. I was watching one of the clips tonight and could do the dance and rap right along with them. Even after 10 years. (How's that for a visual?)
I can guarantee that the picture below was my desktop background during this same time period.
This little post about my train of thought might also explain why I will be popping the 5ive CD into my car tomorrow so that I can rock out to "When the Lights Go Out" on my way to work.

NKOTB

So, I saw that New Kids performed on the Today Show and wanted to see the video. Um...I laughed. Really hard. I just don't know how to take them seriously. If you want to hear a little bit of this awesomeness, check out the video below.

What's that? You can't quite understand the lyrics to this incredible song? Let me give you a quick sample:

Now I know that my girl is alone
And she's been blowing me up on my phone
But I can shower when I get back home 'cause
Tonight I'm dancing dirty, yeah

Ooh, she's so crazy
She's like Baby, I'm like Swayze
I said ooh, and I'm burning up, so let's turn it up
I said turn it up now

I miss the days of "I'll Be Loving You Forever". I don't care for the grown up band. Although I will say I have a weird crush on Danny.

Last Chance Harvey

Last night, my roommates and I watched Last Chance Harvey. Never has a movie elicited such reactions throughout the entire group. Usually, I yell at the TV, because, well, that is what makes me charming (right?). But all of us were rooting for this movie to work the way we wanted it to. I recommend it. Not a fast-paced, laugh-a-minute movie, but it was just a very sweet story. Let me know your thoughts if you decide to see this one!
