Where is my mind?


From these pictures from last March, Jake was in a chilly NY, but it seems something was making a warm glow. Or someone. Who could be on the other end of the other end of that call?

Now we might know who was on his mind, but where was his mind?

A warm sunny spot in San Diego? A trailer with a good game of backgammon with snacks from craft services? Come on, it must be something like his next interview of the day, why else would that grin be so big?

  2. Hey Spesh, you believe we started this blog exactly 6 months ago?!

  3. I love these pics of Jake, they are gorgeous. Who else could make Jake smile like that, I ask youy? And thanks for the Pixies this morning! I always look forward to hearing whatever music you'll have at OMG. Congrats on your six month anniversary.

    Nice to see Valentino was here, and Kacie, glad that everything turned out ok for you. :)

  4. Congratulations on your six month anniversary, and thank you for what must now be over 180 posts. I saw these pictures last night and was really struck by that third picture. Even out with his good friend Chris he didn't have that smile until the phone call.

    :l said really sums it all up, Jake needs to be Jake again.

  5. Just letting Chris be just Chris, let him be out of the glare.

  6. Also glad to see Valentino still around. :) Are you still with your bf?

  7. It was a prescient move to create a safe haven from the maddness.

  8. I sure miss those beautiful Jake smiles. Have not seen one in a long while.

    Ted is being easy on Jake right now, but he did allow a question about Toothy's bearding so that is something. Ted seems to stick to a once a week mention of Toothy, most times.

    I had always hoped that someday Jake and Heath would do some ommentary for a special edition of BBM. Like 10 years from now to bring lots of perspective, but now that will never happen.

    Well, Jake is still very much alive and hopefully will be around in 10 years to do that.

    And he didn't deny that Toothy is bearding.

  11. Know Wicked is happy of a picture with a clean shaven Jake. And probably that will be the case for Nailed. Most in politics are clean shaven, as are those in media in front of the camera. Why? People tend to have a subliminal distrust of people in leadership or public speaking who have beards. Some feel it is because the beard obscures people's mouths and there eyes can't really see what they are hearing.

  12. And probably that will be the case for Nailed.

    Hope so! And speaking of politics, today DC, MD, and VA all have their primaries. It's exciting because usually by the time we vote, there is a clear frontrunner. This year's race is so close that DC actually matters! Yay!

  13. I had always hoped that someday Jake and Heath would do some commentary for a special edition of BBM. Like 10 years from now to bring lots of perspective, but now that will never happen.

    I did too - but, as BWF says, we've still got our remaining cowboy. We need to take good care of him. :)

    Wicked, that very exciting about DC's primary.

    I think Jake is just gorgeous, with or without facial hair, but I do love these pics of him clean-shaven, I love the length of his hari in these, and the coat and scarf, and the smile, of course. :)

    I have to tell you, Wicked, I've gone a little crazy for Sia, the singer you've had on OMG a couple of times, I think. Fabulous. She's Australian, did you all know that? :)

    ReplyDelete
  14. ^^sorry, that should be I love the length of Jake's hair in today's pics.

  15. Also glad to see Valentino still around. :) Are you still with your bf?

    Thanks :)

    We're still together, still best friends of almost 8 years and I just love being around him. It will be 1 year of us actually being together on Thursday and we're celebrating by going to see Jumper because it just looks like a badass movie!

    His sister wants to throw us an anniversary party - I got a good laugh out of that. I forget we're in a relationship sometimes until we sneak a kiss in usually, still just kinda feels like I'm hangin with my bestest...I think this is what love feels like :)

  16. I can't resist sneaking in to say hello to (((Valentino))). Glad to hear you're still with your BF!I kept the genesis of your love story on my computer at home and love to read it from time to time. :)

  17. Valentino, you guys are too cute!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Good to hear from you Valentino, and good to hear things are still cooking with your BF.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Hey Valentino! Glad to see you here. And even better to hear of your anniversary. The first of many I'm sure.

  20. Has anyone else noticed but in those latest (old) photos on ihj, there seems to be some evidence of clothes sharing (clue: check the light patches on the jeans).

    ReplyDelete
  21. there seems to be some evidence of clothes sharing

    You mean between Jake and Chris?

    ReplyDelete
  22. Yes it looks like Chris is wearing Jakes favorite pair of jeans and a sweater from the grampy cashmere cardigan collection.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Someone over on IHJ already pointed that out. You must mean the jeans that Chris is wearing because the jeans Jake were wearing look brand new.

    Jake is wearing what appears to be the same jeans on 1/26/08, the pictures taken 4 days after Heath's death, he is with Reese and the kids.

    The light patches appear to be either bleach or tears, I have seen Chris wearing those before.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Jake will never get rid of those jeans.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I actually think those jeans are the same as from Lakers 1 (check the knee darts). Gorgeous as the 'pre-Reeke' Jake looks I'm sorry to say, but I don't think anyone would want to share the coat that Jake's wearing in these latest photos. /For some reason it looks like washed wool, which is always unfortunate on a man. Can't see our resident fashionisto Austin (swoon!!) eyeing that garment enviously.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Actually he had them on in the pictures from the Lakers. I think when they are too well worn they will go to their Hall of fame spot where the postage stamp t-shirt went. The khaki t-shirt and Great Western Landscape baseball cap have early odds for induction, but I think the dark horse will be the one of the Grampa cardigans.

  27. satorlist lite -- not the best coat I agree, but the boy knows how to work the cashmere scarf.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I obviously meant to call myself 'sartorialist lite'.. duh.. however I agree, Jake does know how to work the grey cashmere. But then.. that's sort of easy.. he should try the leather plaited 'suspenders?' like his friend. If you can pull those off (and Austin can, although in my book he could pull off a bin liners and a hair net) you can pull off anything.

    ReplyDelete
  29. and those sunglasses are a crime against humanity.

    (a site I'm always expecting Austin to turn up in is this http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com/, its good fun if you're interested in clothes, if not, don't bother)

    ReplyDelete
  30. I made fun of him wearing the old stained olive green pants to death (the ones in the Borders Bookstore pictures) and so he stopped wearing them (and now I miss those pants). So now I promise not to say anything about the white-paint-two-knee-drip-spot jeans! Or the wide collared navy and grey tee shirt combo. Or the plaid navy and green flannel shirt jacket. Or the...

  31. It looks like Peter will be tryig out a British accent. He is set to star in the 1960's coming of age drama "An Education" with Emma Thompson, Alfred Molina and Carey Mulligan.

    Read the description linked:

  32. is it a sign that you need to 'get a life' when you know a celebrity's wardrobe better than your own? (those olive green pants had to go, although i love Austin desert boots and frayed blue jumper).

    Maybe, although i do get some pleasure in thinking that Jake seems to have far fewer clothes (by a long mark) than I do.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Personally, I would love to set fire to that lumberjack coat of Jake's. Build a great confligration that can be seen from planes above, and dance around the fire naked, singing and chanting "Reeke I release thee! Reeke get thee hence! Reeke, a pox on thee!"

    Rather catharic, don't you think?

    ReplyDelete
  34. Jake looks awesome in the pictures from Rendition. W is right the beard must go. He is soooooo much better looking clean shaven.

    A looks hot with a little stubble on that manly chin of his.

    I doubt J and A have much use for clothes when they are together:-)

    ReplyDelete
  35. So much hardcore love for The Pixies and that's one of my all-time favourite songs. Thank you, thank you, thank you! :U

    ReplyDelete
  36. Awwww I love, love, love a long coat on a man! This one looks like cashmere to me. It's a good thing Jack or Ennis weren't a wearing cowboy duster in Brokeback, between that and the boots, I might have passed out from lust! ;)

    ReplyDelete
  37. OT Reese is sure getting some bad flak from her bully comments and with Ryan's opening up about their marraige. Methinks its the beginning of the end of the 'Reese is a good mother' and 'the perfect wife who was wronged' and 'Reese is a perfect person' (and so tiny too!) PR crap we've been getting. Along with her Penelope bomb. Beard or not, Jake needs to cut his losses. NOW.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I think Jake looks very sexy in the coat and scarf! There are some sexy pics of him looking straight at the camera all model like....sigh... Jake may wear some things over and over again but he looks damn good when he gets all cleaned up for premieres, photo shoots and awards shows. Like Austin Jake rocks the stubble too (sorry Wicked) like no other! And yeah it does seem like Jake shares clothes. Those are def. his jeans on Chris.

    ReplyDelete
  39. ^^Oh G*d does he ever, I love when he takes a classic look and puts his own personal stamp on it - or as he says, "turns tradition on its head". He's a beauty! :)

    ReplyDelete
  40. candy wrapper got to say "turn tradition on its head" is not one of my favorite Jakisms right now.

    ReplyDelete
  41. ^^I hear ya Tom, but I'm only using it in the fashion sense. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  42. I love this whole look on Jake and loved it on Austin last week :D - Chris can keep the old jeans.

    Hi again Valentino - so great to see you and bf/bf going strong.

    Congratulations, Spesh and Wicked*

  44. Check out this comment about Reese's remarks about her childhood from dlisted-

    Submitted by smartblonde on February 12, 2008 - 1:15pm.

    OK, I have never posted anything before, but since I can't stand this bitch, I feel compelled to.

    First of all, my sisters and I went to school with her. She is a few years older than me but my older sister was in her grade, and I know for a fact that this girl was NOT picked on, unpopular, or the target of bullies.

    She has a history of lying about her childhood, though. A few years ago she said in a magazine that when she was looking for a prom dress, she had to shop from the Sears catalog because there was nowhere in Nashville that sold nice clothes. LIAR!!!! Nashville is a big city with PLENTY of nice stores (hello, a lot of people who are huge in the music industry and have big bucks live here!!!).

    She is a piece of work... but I think that she has created a story about her childhood that "sounds good" and she's repeated it so many times she probably believes her own lies.

  50. Now and then

  51. It is not so much light that falls
    over the world
    extended by your body
    its suffocating snow,
    as brightness, pouring itself out of you,
    as if you were
    burning inside.

    Under your skin the moon is alive.

  55. T'is you that are the music, not your song.
    The song is but a door which, opening wide,
    Lets forth the pent-up melody inside,
    Your spirit's harmony, which clear and strong
    Sings but of you. Throughout your whole life long
    Your songs, your thoughts, your doings, each divide
    This perfect beauty; waves within a tide,
    Or single notes amid a glorious throng.

  58. Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises,
    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices
    That, if I then had waked after long sleep,
    Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming,
    The clouds methought would open and show riches
    Ready to drop upon me that, when I waked,
    I cried to dream again.

  59. I like for you to be still: it is as though you were absent,
    and you hear me from far away and my voice does not touch you.

  60. Let me come to be still in your silence.
    And let me talk to you with your silence

  61. There is a singer and an actor/singer here in Australia who are both out of the closet.

    Their names are Anthony Callea and Tim Campbell. Anthony was runner up a few years ago on Aussie Idol and Tim is a former soapie actor (Home and Away) and now does theatre/hosting work

    Anyway, they've been hanging out together since they broke up with their respective partners last year and Tim admitted in a radio interview that friendship has turned into love.

    It's so sweet and I wish them all the best.
