On Channing Tatum and Hugh Laurie....

I found it too cute the other day how my two nieces namely: Winona, 14 & Yvette, 12 gushed in unison "Channing Tatum! (gasp)" at my mere mention of wanting to watch the movie G.I. Joe, in which he stars. And who else did they like again? Let me see, Hockey player Mike Cammalleri of the Montreal Canadiens and David Beckham? Uh oh, I think my big bro Al is in trouble! Now going back to Channing Tatum. I, being the 33 year old stay at home mom that I am, well at least for the time being, whose life pretty much revolves around her two munchkins again namely: Maya, 4 and Jaden, 14 months, didn't know much about Channing (ooooh aren't we familiar and cozy in a first-name basis kind of way - in my dreams!!!) except that he played the lead role as "John" in the movie of his character's namesake, uh, "Dear John!" and so took it upon myself, thinking it might be quite worthwhile, the task of delving deeper into the person behind the name. Hardly a difficult undertaking in this time and age, as it simply involved the typing of his name into a search engine and with one easy click of a button, voila! or should I say Bing! A plethora of information was produced right at my disposal - at the top of the list being Wikipedia's biography of the babe which I skimmed through. Another entry in particular, though, that caught my eye, was one person named Rebby's subjective list as to who she thought were the world's most beautiful men, Channing of course making the list along with Wentworth Miller of Prisonbreak fame, Taye Diggs, etc. (My friend Sherry and sole blog follower had begged me to include Robert Pattinson on the list, but no can do, sweetie, it's not my list, sorry!!!) Hmmm, you know the type: let me see, hunky, hot, virile (lol)! And while I totally "digged" how certain ones were included, I couldn't quite comprehend how Hugh Laurie AKA Dr House to the remote control-wielding couch potato sort made the cut, not until Farah, that is, veteran blogger and old elementary school classmate who I've recently reconnected with through Facebook, pointed out to me how "sexy" he really is. Of course, I acknowledged his intelligence and talent as an actor from the get-go, no kidding! It takes oodles of talent to portray a believable character and a doctor at that, but to be mentioned among the company of the likes of Patrick Dempsey and Jared Leto and yes, Ryan Reynolds?...I just felt that he was sticking out like a sore thumb. But in order to be fair, I gave it much thought and finally conceded. No, actually I didn't have to give it much thought, I just gave Hugh's (again first-name basis, baby!) picture a hard and long look and suddenly, I realized how cute he really actually is...kinda cookie but cute...in an awwww-eliciting way!!! Hugh Laurie? Awwwwww, shall I add hearts like my nieces embellish their facebook status updates, and probably everything else for that matter? Hugh Laurie...awwww ♥♥♥

By the way, this blog was born out of the need for a bigger and better medium and hopefully a bigger audience for my ever copious ramblings. Apparently, the status update box on Facebook, I had just found out (much to my dismay), can only accomodate up to 420 characters which could hardly be enough to hold, like I just said, the abundant thoughts that issue forth from my "lonely mind"....and oh! I do promise to "beautify" this page...whenever it is, that is, I get 'round to it!!!

  3. I can't help but laugh at the "veteran blogger" reference - though my blog has been around a few years, it hasn't seen much action... I *love* the energy of your posts, it's a little dizzying, but very clear that you *need* this blog to bleed off some of those abundant creative juices. Happy writing!
