Word to Dennis Quaid


You know, there comes a time in every girl’s life when she must ask herself a very, very important question. Some may say a question who’s answer will define her. Am I Pro-Dennis Quaid? Yes, some of you out there may not be at that point in your life yet when you feel the need to reply to this question, but I can feel a turning point in my life approaching. It’s time to make some big decisions for Emma. Which college will I attend next year? Will I finally choose between majoring in Hospitality, Culinary Arts, or Political Science? Should I try hard to keep in contact with my friends who go to other colleges? Am I ready to go on my first date? Do I like Dennis Quaid?

Yes, I know. I may be rushing this imperitave life decision. But don’t worry, I am going to give it some serious thought. I am fully prepared to analyze my affinity for Dennis Quaid in three disctinct areas: his appearance, his career, and his personal life.

His Appearance
Now while there is sufficient evidence to suggest that Dennis Quaid is quite buff and works on keeping himself in shape, I find it hard to overlook how freakishly boy-ish he looks considering that he is a 50-year old man. Also, while sometimes he appears dashingly handsome, there are other times when he face looks downright weathered, almost like leather.

His Career
I’ll start off by citing that Rotten Tomatoes has him at an average rating of fresh, not an easy feat for any actor. Quaid has managed to work on over 50 different films. Some bad: Cold Creek Manor, The Alamo, and Jaws 3-D. Some good: The Rookie, The Parent Trap, and Far From Heaven. Some classic: The Big Easy, Frequency (IMO), and The Day After Tomorrow (snort! that one was for Maura). And even in the bad movies, he hasn’t managed to personally offend anyone to the point of swearing off Dennis Quaid for life. I mean, people still went to see The Day After Tomorrow despite earlier critical bombs Cold Creek Manor and The Alamo. But for the con list, none of his movies have warmed their way into my hearts enough to earn a spot in my DVD collection. That, however, may change after I get to see In Good Company, a movie I am very much looking forward to. And sure, he’s never been nominated for an Oscar or much of anything for that matter, but he sure hasn’t been nominated for a Razzie.

His Life
As a person, I have a deep respect for Dennis Quaid. I mean, you have to feel bad for a guy who got dumped by Meg Ryan for Russell Crowe. The situation still makes me sad, to be truly honest. But some aspects of his life irk me. Like the fact that there is a fansite dedicated to him entitled The Man Behind the Shades, which promptly ran out of bandwidth two minutes into my visit. I also read a little something about a cocaine addiction but did not find it in enough places to believe true. But I am happy that he has found himself a new wife and has a wayyyyyy better movie career going for him right now than Meg could ever manage with those horridly fake lips of hers.

So, it’s time to ask yourself. Do you like Dennis Quaid?

Word to George Strait


God bless George Strait. He has more number 1 hits than any artist in any genre ever. 51 hits to be exact. He’s been happily married to the same woman since 1971 (a very admirable feature). He has a sweet endorsement deal with Tractor Supply Company. And he’s managed to get most of his more recent hits with little or no publicity. No music video– just radio airplay, which is a testement to his appeal and large fanbase. But George Strait has a secret.

George Strait has managed to record two different songs with the exact same title. For your consideration… two songs by George Strait both entitled “She’ll Leave You With a Smile.”


She’ll Leave You With a Smile (1997)
I can see you’re falling for her /
Friend you know she once was mine /
So I guess I oughta warn you /
‘Cause you’re showing all the signs /

Chorus
She’s a devil /
She’s an angel /
She’s a woman /
She’s a child /
She’s a heartache /
When she leaves you /
But she’ll leave you with a smile

When she held me it was Heaven /
It was worth the losin’ pain /
And when she’s gone she’ll leave you wishin’ /
She’d just roll your way again

repeat Chorus x 2


She’ll Leave You With a Smile (2003)
At first she’s gonna come on strong /
Like She’ll love you all night long /
Like it’s going out of style /
Then she’ll leave you with a smile

Chorus
Well you can’t help but wonder /
Why you can’t help but love her /
But you can’t help love her /
And all that hurtin’ was more than worth it /
It’s written all over your face

One day you’ll pass her on the street /
With that guy you used to be /
She’ll say hello and walk on by /
Then she’ll leave you with a smile

repeat Chorus / Verse 1

AHA! I’m on to your act, George Strait. I guess I’ll have to let it slide because of your big success and all. But don’t try recording another song entitled “I Hate Everything” in another 6 years. I will be watching you, George!

Word to Britney


Aaaaaaack. Britney Spears stole mah cellll phone. I was just walking around all day, week after week, with the VI660 Samsung, thinking thinks were alright. Then out of nowhere… BOOOOM! Like an unwelcome Bobby Brown cover song, I see a picture of Britney Spears carrying my cell phone.

Honestly, is there no safe place left in the world? I can’t carry this cell phone around anymore when Britney Spears has the exact same one. What is a girl to do? Maybe they should come out with Sprint Couture. Yeah, that’ll be profitable. Tehehehehehe.

C’mon, Britney Spears, this cell phone isn’t even state of the art. It doesn’t take pictures. It doesn’t send videos. Only phone calls. Well, I guess you must be downgrading now that you have a trailer park husband to support.

And isn’t it bad enough that I have to hear your horried Christmas song “My Only Wish This Year” at work every hour on the hour? And now I’m going to reminded of you everytime I make a phone call or text-message my pimp to let him know the “job” is done. Thank you, Britney Spears.

Britney Spears, you may have the same phone as me. But do you have the full version of Bejeweled on it? I didn’t think so. So who’s the real winner now?

By the way, does anyone have an MP3 of Britney Spears singing “My Prerogative” that I could download? Send it here. Okaythanksbuhbye.

Word to Jeeps


You know, I’ve never considered myself one of those girls. Y’know, the girls who are into what clothes boys wear, whether they work out or not, or what kind of car they drive. But what I wouldn’t give to date a boy who drove a Jeep Wrangler.

There’s just something about a Jeep Wrangler. There’s something very rugged and mysterious about boys who drive Jeep Wranglers. Even a yellow Jeep Wrangler would be preferrable to a more sensible colored car that was not a Jeep Wrangler. That’s how flexible I would be just to date a boy who drove a Jeep Wrangler.

No, I would never actually want to own my own Jeep Wrangler. Frankly, driving them scares me, and I’m pretty sure they’re easier to break into than most cars. But these are things for my Jeep Wrangler boyfriend to concern himself with, not me.


So please, if you drive a Jeep Wrangler and are single, you can email me anytime: bonnets@gmail.com. And if you want to date me, you had better go get yourself a Jeep Wrangler.

Word to rotten

I have a new favorite website. Just click here!

Heh. I really can spend allllll day here. I love reading about the seedy underbelly of world history. My favorite entries are on Rasputin and Roy Cohn. Oh, and who could forget the Cult of the Dead Cow?
