If you don’t know who Channing Tatum is – you are missing out on the ultimate hunk of a guy. He used to be a model and then got into movies. He’s one of the stars of the new G. I. Joe movie and I can’t stop thinking about him.
And the Music Stopped
Tonight was the final concert of the CMA Music fest. The past 4 days and nights have been filled with country music stars and shows all over town. The big concerts have been held at the football stadium, but there have been a ton of smaller venues hosting fan club parties and invitation only concerts. There was even a book signing at the Country Music Hall of Fame that I will have to tell you about later.
For some strange reason, watching Wynona and her mother sing together last night gave me goosebumps. Their last song was “Love Can Build a Bridge” and the whole crowd knew every word and sang along with them. It was very emotional for me and inspiring.
I am hot and sweaty and my feet and legs are kiling me from all the walking and standing in lines this weekend. I’m heading to the shower and to bed.
Luv Gov
Hanging with some friends today, we decided to watch the Belmont horse race. This is the third race in the Triple Crown series of races. The winner of the Kentucky Derby is going to race in today’s race. That horse, Mine That Bird, did not win the second race in the series, so there will not be a Triple Crown winner this year. But it would be nice to see that horse win two out of the three.
There are some other hot contenders for today’s race. I personally like “Luv Gov,” named after former NY Governer Spitzer. If you remember that scandal, Gov. Spitzer had to resign because of his numerous affairs with prostitutes. Funny to see that they named a horse after him and that the horse is running in the Belmont Stakes in Saratoga, NY.
Sprint Commericals – What If . . . ?
There is a new Sprint cell phone commercial that continues the series of “What if _______ ran the world?” I watched it this morning as I was getting ready for work and having my breakfast.
The new one is featuring film crews. The wedding of a bride and her groom with cold feet ends up with a groom double being dropped into place at the last minute. The film crew works all kinds of magic, from making the rain stop to producing cue cards that say “I Do.” It was hilarious!
Friday Night TV Stinks
Ever since I was a teen and accepted babysitting jobs on Friday nights, I have been bored out of my mind with Friday night TV. The shows are awful – it’s the worst night of the week. Plus, if you are stuck in someone else’s house watching kids, it is even worse to have nothing good to watch. So I usually have 4-5 VHS Tapes and DVDs in my bag to watch if I can’t find anything at all on cable.
