The List

Sorry I haven't blogged in awhile. I've been preoccupied with the mindless time suck, known as Facebook. Plus, I've been wasting countless minutes in the black hole we all subscribe to called Facebook. Lastly, I've been feverishly productive, scouring Youtube for a wide variety of music, to post and entertain my cyber friends on Facebook. I can't wait until Facebook is a thing of the past, and I quit being drawn toward the mesmerizing bug zapper, waiting to kill my time. But tonight, my wife and I had an interesting conversation (I've heard communication is kind of important in a relationship), while starting to watch a DVR'd episode of Anthony Bourdain. She mentioned Mr. Bourdain, second only to me, is the sexiest man in her life right now. Amazingly enough, she's not necessarily drawn to the chiseled beefcake types. Oh, she notices and admires, but an intellect with a biting sarcastic side, and an occasional flash of humor, seems to pique her interest more. Top it off with a man who cooks and has his own TV show, WELL ... there you have her ideal stud of a man! So then we start to discuss others who may have made the honorable mention list. Mario Batali, not for his manly physique, but for his charm, culinary skills, plus he speaks Italian. What girl can resist the Italian language? We then moved on from chefs to musicians. Dave Matthews holds a solid third place. The guy plays a guitar, writes dirty poetry, and puts it all together in a song. How does a regular guy compete with that? Bono was mentioned, but she's not sure she can trust the suave Irishman. After all, he's not Italian. I thought I would bring up sports figures, but she quickly dismissed any candidates before thoroughly thinking it through. A decade or so ago, there was a young man who played football for the Cornhuskers, and then went on to play in the NFL for the Arizona Cardinals, whom she completely forgot about. Joel Makavicka pulled on the heart strings the first time she saw him. She thought he was so adorable, he could be counted worthy to be one of the harem she was putting together. I brought up another athlete, Joba Chamberlain. She had a valid reason for turning down Joba, because of the gap in age. I'm sure she's not real fond of the thought of being Joba's cougar. But if Joba were another12 years older, I'm pretty sure she would reconsider. She did say she would be happy to mother him though. Pretty sure he tops that list.
