It was a Sunday morning and Jake hadn't been seen over the summer and by dumb luck, good karma or just being there at the right time, but there it was a picture of Jake in the front of the pack at the Chilmark Road Race. No one else had found it. Put it up on Wicked's Wonderful World -the blog that Wicked had that we were using as another place for Jake and Austin and fans to come and chat. But it was time.
We had been planning for more. A community for Jake and Austin fans, Jaustin fans, and TB'ers to come together. Looking back we really didn't have a clue what we were doing, flying by the seat of our pants, we were learning as we were going.
For weeks, we had been figuring out blogger, (bowing to Wicked), figuring out Photoshop, emailing and calling about our mission, what we wanted it to be, what we wanted say, what we wanted it look like. Would there be anyone who come ? Would anyone comment?
But that on Sunday August 12th, 2007, and a long phone call - we asked are we ready? Do you think? But we knew. This was it now or never this was how we launch our baby - OMG. And we did. And we are here one year and 361 posts and songs and songs later. No one could have imagine what would have happened over this past year. Both for Jake and Austin, but more importantly what happen to OMG and the community that we tried to create. Not everyone sees eye to eye, there are differences of opinion, there are new friends who came, and other friends who sadly have gone, some who have spoken up, others who are quietly waiting, and some trying to figure out what the hell to say anymore, but in the end there for one another, that's community and that's what its all about.
From that day came some great music, crazy posts, poignant moments, laughter and tears, great moments and great finds, lots of great new friends, honest opinions, Out Spotlights and Austin Fridays. Here's to even more. One thing, sadly we've never found many of Austin's lost shirts, but we've found other things.
To everyone who has come to OMG.
Thank you for coming and joining in on this wild ride.
We couldn't have done it without you.
Thank you for coming and joining in on this wild ride.
We couldn't have done it without you.
And our first post - Remember this?
"Jake seriously, I don't think that's whatthey had in mind when they said beard."
One more thing Wicked truly is the Queen of the Player, and even now there are days, where she fixes it - using player voodoo, ok just great skills, with back up players to have music everyday. Without Wicked there would be no music. Thanks Wicked.
OMG Olympic Moment
Track and Field
Athletics (or track and field) is about running faster, jumping higher a
nd throwing further than your competitors. The ancient Games at Olympia began simply with foot races, only occasionally complicated by dressing the runners in infantry armour or making them carry soldiers' shields. Today, athletics remains one of the most popular Olympic sports. From the 100m dash to the 42.195km marathon, from the hammer throw to the high jump, it contains many of the Olympic Games' blue-ribbon events and many of the highest-profile competitors.The pictures say it all about this OMG Olympic moment. In sync and focused.
Happy birthday OMG and thank you special k & wicked for keeping the TB fandom alive! I wouldn't still be waiting without you and this place.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it's been a year already. Happy Anniversay, and thanks for a year full of great posts. And congragulations on succeeding in building a community.
ReplyDeleteOne more thing - forgot this - Here's the video from the Chilmark Road Race from last year.
ReplyDeletePlum TV: Chilmark Road Race 2007
Nobody's even mentioned the obvious codpiece.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that the first look we get of Jake as the PoP, Reese is there. It's obvious that she is going to be part of the promotion of this film. I wonder if that was part of the deal for Jake to get the part. I think she is not going away any time soon and we will hear Jake talk about her during Brothers promotion. He'll have to.
It's obvious that she is going to be part of the promotion of this film.
ReplyDeleteNot necessary (still trying to be an optimist).
This was one stone, two birds PR opportunity.
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteBecause we're so focused on Jake here, I think it's important to talk about the fact that we're not just looking at another Reeke disaster, but also a marketing disaster for PoP. And there is no way this was done without Disney's approval, and in fact has to have been done as part of their marketing plan. If so, and if Disney doesn't pull it's head out of its collective behind, PoP is in trouble.
ReplyDeleteThis was our first look of Jake in his PoP look, and most people people around the internet hate it. The problem is they did nothing to make sure it looked right. They should have leaked photos of Jake on the set in action, with the right angles and lighting (as someone rightly pointed out, the hair in particular is a problem, something Ang Lee knew to work around). Second, they should have showcased the exotic scenery of Morocco, or, at a minimum, not had that clutter of people milling around/the look of a set anywhere in the world.
Instead we got Jake not looking his best, looking miserable, and attached to ma kettle. When there was something nice said about the pictures, they almost all seemed to be in the "Reece is a lucky girl" vein. Now, maybe it was a coordinated fan gurl effort, but those comments may've also come from pr, and if so, reflect their thinking--women are going to turn out to see the guy Reece is so lucky to have. Ain't going to work, especially if women don't like the look. They should have trusted Jake's own natural looks to work in this role.
As for "testing" the look on Jake, this is not the way to do it, and I don't think that is what they had in mind. That is what focus groups are for. Plus they've already been filming for what, 3 weeks now? They're not going to scrap it and start over.
Now, you might say, well, what about the tabloids? Tabloids don't sell movies, what is key is in this day and age is internet buzz. And the internet buzz like all recent movies has started out with people complaining about the casting (RDJ, Heath), and it was overcome with smart marketing, most of it on the internet, and at Comic Con in the case of Iron Man. Not only didn't they change people's minds with yesterday's pictures, they've given people new reasons to complain about PoP.
And that Comic Con business is another indicator that Disney may not know what it is doing. While some people are saying PoP was moved because of Transformers, the competition is just as stiff in 2010. As others have pointed out, they delayed PoP so they can take this to Comic Con--and it's no coincidence we got this news right after this year's convention. They went there with the writers to talk about the film, no film or stars, and I'm betting they got no buzz as a result, and realized that other films were getting buzz because they did it right. IMO you can't launch a new franchise like PoP anymore without Comic Con.
Now PoP has a lot of time, the question is whether Disney is smart enough to do it right, and to overcome these early mistakes.
And I'd be saying all of this even if I thought Jake was straight and Reese the most wonderful woman in the world.
Nobody's even mentioned the obvious codpiece.
ReplyDeleteThat's no piece that's all Jake. Maui blue swim trunks.
To Wicked and Special Happy Birthday/Anniversary. Thanks for OMG, it's great.
Happy Anniversary OMG. You've come a long way baby : )
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary OMG, fast and slow I like the direction in which you move - and your wit!
ReplyDeleteExhausted again today because I had to see the men's team gymnastics final. And boy was that worth it! When track and field starts, I'm going to be looking for beardy guy.
ReplyDeleteAs for Jeese, I think there is no end in sight. Brace yourselves.
Jakey G is currently shooting Prince of Persia in Morocca and Reese Witherspoon has joined him on set, enduring a long trip to be with her man.
ReplyDeleteSplash has new photos of the two hand in hand - Jakey with his shirt off showing off ripped abs and killer arms, long hair… so hot it’s sick. Like sick. So sick the photos are now priced out of my range. Sorry. But when you see them, you’ll know.
Anyway, the two apparently spent the weekend at a luxury hotel, and remained ensconced inside their suite all day yesterday, making the most of their time together while Ryan has the kids.
Love them so much they make me squee.
This is Reese last week shopping at Stella McCartney in advance of her trip.
Update: JustJared has the pics.

Lainey can't afford them but IHJ can?
"When there was something nice said about the pictures, they almost all seemed to be in the "Reece is a lucky girl" vein."
ReplyDeletePerhaps you should have a look at some of the gamer sides - many of the fanboys actually like Jakes look.
Disney and especially Bruckheimer are no idiots - the real buzz will start at next years Comic Con.
I actually agree that they should have leaked pictures of Jake in action with his colleagues - not with Reese.
IHJ gets pictures for free.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday OMG and thank you to both Special and Wicked for all the work you put into this.
ReplyDeleteYou managed to create a site that's not just a blog to get information from, but a community where you're sure to find something - be it one of Specials main posts or a someones comment - that will cheer you up when you're feeling a little down.
Let's hope we're still going to be able to come here in a little nicer times!
I think seeing Jake in context on the real set will make a difference. I agree Destiny, the first look of Jake as Dastan should have been him in action and with his costars, not dragging Reese behind him.
ReplyDeleteAnd they realized that the gamers were not going to buy into it without something big thing at Comic Con. (so who's going to their first Comic Con next year?) But seriously Reese is the gf that gamers would go for? Ahhhh no. Not a chance.
And like someone said in the last post, if they don't want him to look huge, keep him away from the tiny gf.
Now with a tall Texan I think he would look just right. ; )
Wow, has it only been a year. This site has become a key focal point in my life, and it seems like it's been forever. I am here first thing every AM and every PM, unless out of town. Thanks again for doing such a wonderful job and Wicked, the music selections are to die for.
ReplyDeleteAbout Reese in the pics, this is a Muslim country. I thought women were supposed to avoid wearing shorts, exposing skin. The only positive thing I can say about the pics is that this is the first time Reese got lost and Jake was the star.
Happy First Birthday to OMG, and to many, mnore. Thanks for the wonderful posts, something creative every day, and of course the music, which I never miss, and wonderful friends. I remember this first post very well. :)
ReplyDeleteNot sure about the PoP look -
Reese "papped" by herself in Morocco. It's so hard to get away from the paps when you bring them everywhere you go. Poor thing.
ReplyDeletelink
Yeah that's what you wear in a Muslim country. A bikini top under a short sleeved mini white cotton dress. Don't complain it's hot, you went there. Cover up and show some respect.
ReplyDeleteThis pap thing is awful - she obviously has her own swarm. I agree, we'll have to see more than what we've seen of Jake as Dastan so far to form a proper opinion, but it isn't my cup of tea from looking at it quickly. His body was fine before, I'm not sure about the costume, and why don't actors grow their own hair? :(
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, OMG !! I have been here since the beginning, not always posting, but I check in every day. You do a wonderful job maintaining this site.
ReplyDeleteAt least she covered up and we don't have to see her in a bikini again.
ReplyDeleteShe must be staying in and around their own compound, because usually out of respect to a foreign culture, you'd be a little more mindful and respectful of its customs and dress, even if you don't follow them yourself. :(
ReplyDeleteReese mindful and respectful?!? Since when?
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, OMG. I'm one of those who hasn't got a lot to say these days (the Reeke Days), but I do like to see what you guys are discussing.
ReplyDeleteJake is looking a tad too ripped these days IMO.
"sadly we've never found many of Austin's lost shirts, but we've found other things"
ReplyDeleteLOL
Happy B-Day, OMG!
ReplyDeleteHappy One Anniversary OMG! Love this site. Its much more than Jaustin which is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteDestiny said it all, ita. Destiny, when you express yourself you do it good. ty.
2 birds/1 stone- for sure. this latest installment isnt finished. Expect more pics esp of Reeke on a mini vacay. You don't think she went all the way over there for 2 days do you?
Remember- Reese is interested in her own Disney franchise too. She has the voiceover and probly sees herself being part of the Disney pie.
Paps follow Reese like flies on shit. LOL
They even follow hwer to foreign countries and on closed movie sets. I'm waiting for the little bitch to complain. Yea riiiiiiiiight.
Reeke holding hands..looks exactly like the Nailed pics but Jake isn't smiling. Broken record. But you gotta hand it to them: holding hands.. a small act that churns out huge assumptions/pr. Pretty good investment; low debt, high yield.
If they weren't holding hands what would they look like? Brother and sister? Buddies? The 'holding hands' is the only link with these two. Let's face it, when you are really in love you could not be touching each other but the connection will still show. Radiate. These two got nothing.
In these pics they look even more disassociated from each other than ever. Look at Reeses baby finger, its not relaxed. #1 clue it was all for show. Imagine yourself walking holding hands with someone you love. You show tenderness: you do not show tension in your hands like they do. You aslo want to be near each other and make a lot of eye contact to 'read' each other. This pair got zilch.
I'm still wondering about those 2 baby pigs reese bought. Were they supposed to be pets? What kind of parent gets pets for their kids but then the kids hardly see them? Maybe they're getting fat for Christmas dinner. Reese will probably tell them its big chickens they're eating. Hope Ava asks for the wing and little Deacon wants to do the wishbone. heh
Wicked and Spesh thanks for all you do. I wasnt here at the start, is it really true you had that pic first? Wow.
And Spesh did you notice thres a Tom Brady in the list, #96. Don't know if its the same but its the right age. Tempe AZ..good place for winter and doesn't a team practice there? ;)
"No matter how good he looks, unless they re-voice him, Jake will still sound like a West LA bookstore barrista."
ReplyDelete"Shouldn't it be: "Toothy Tile squiring beard Reese Witherspoon?"
btw codpiece? definitely. no doubt about it. part of the costume just like the boots.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised DListed hasn't said anything on the pics. Was dying to see what he'd write. hmmmm
ReplyDeletebtw codpiece? definitely. Ever seen the pictures from Maui?
ReplyDeleteKudos to you, Destiny. Very well said. You know, the internet is where it's at. And I don't think it's too far out to think of POP's marketing people to get on their laptops & check out all these websites to get a preliminary feeler to the reaction. I think it was on WFT2 that someone quoted from John Mayer's blog where he mentioned don't think for a minute that stars don't get out there & see what people are saying about them. Then that should definitely apply to marketers & agents.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to OMG, Special & Wicked. I'm relatively new & I had no idea that you all just started this a year ago. Really, you all have an excellently professional website and you learned fast. I'm trying to work on my self-control & not vent so much, hoping I don't irritate people too much w/my tongue. But am so thankful you haven't kicked me off yet and to all the truly wonderful people you have assembled here, day by day. You've assembled a little community and one that is full of some of the most astute, eagle-eyed, & clever people I've come across. I love coming here & a mini-standing ovation to you, Wicked & Special. : )
Just a quick weather report: It's presently 99 degrees in Morocco, with an expected high of 102. Highs for the next few days in the low 100's. That's the kind of heat we'll get here sometimes. It's the kind where you just stand outside, not doing a darn thing and the sweat just forms on you.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! I hardly post, but I still look to see what you guys have done everyday...very good job! Continue to be entertaining!
ReplyDeleteHaha after reading the comments from yesterday, I think I might be the only one that thinks Jake looks hot lol. Also being one of the youngest here, I believe Jake will do fine in this movie and PoP fanbase will follow. People who like the video games are probably not going to care so much as to what Jake looks like in the movie. It's the action they want to see. This is what people my age go to see that kind of movie for.
I love looking at the old Jaustin pictures, I figure if Jake is gay and dating Austin, if they come out, they would be affectionate towards eachother like TR and Mark. I don't think Jake would be able not to touch Austin in public.
I wish everyone the best!
Ever seen the pictures from Maui? Yep. and I know stuff if you know what i mean.
ReplyDeleteDlisted posted this (with a link to popsugar):
ReplyDelete"Jakey Poo looking like a buff Billy Ray Cyrus"
Hey I was kidding last week about Jake singing Hannah Montana's Best of Both Worlds, I never thought he would be looking like Hannah's Pop this week.
ReplyDeleteBTW love this old pic of Jaustin relaxing between training - the mirroring is interesting in body language terms.
ReplyDeletefunny post about the new Reeke pics:
ReplyDelete“...Now... am I cynical enough to think this is some sort of media grab? Of course. I'm cynical like that about... their entire relationship. But still, so many questions! Like, did she just catch Austin sneaking out Jake's trailer window?...”
My new plaid pants
Wicked and Special,
ReplyDeleteI may be thought to be among the missing, the infrequent, the quiet, the occasional, but never doubt that I am in awe of your joint capacity for keeping this community very much together and extremely pleased to be able to share the odd brand of opinion, fun, music, observation, conjecture, surmise, hope, love, and occasional foolishness that is a part of Oh My Godot.
Happy Birthday to everyone, I hope we continue to come back daily for our common love or discussion of all things Jaustin for many years to come.
Much love from Seaweed.
I never thought he would be looking like Hannah's Pop this week.
ReplyDeleteLOL your killing my achy breaky heart!
Not a fan of the extra hair whatever they did and if I find out it was Ken Paves - well that explains a lot.
ReplyDeleteBut hey call me crazy but the bod, damn!
i like the look. its for a role and he fits it. theres alot of body makeup goin on but still he's in good shape. i'd hit it!
ReplyDeleteshallow k....heh
From dayold news: Reese Witherspoon looks extremely matronly as she walks on set with her boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal.
ReplyDeleteShe's hip allright - hip replacement!
Happy Anniversary OMG !
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday OMG and Wicked and Special *) Is it really a year?? cheers!
ReplyDeleteIHJ gets pictures for free.
ReplyDeleteHow do they do this?
I wasnt here at the start, is it really true you had that pic first?
ReplyDeleteYup. Spesh found it and one of the bigger gossip sites used it and credited us. I think it was Just Jared?
Thanks for all the well wishes, guys!
Just want to say Thank You all, for the kind words and wishes as we celebrate today. It is those good thoughts that carry through when doing this and give my rose color glasses a splash of good glitter.
ReplyDeleteTo K at WDW, Spooky, Hjulia, Jackie at WFT2 - we're right there with you - all of us doing our thing for one or the other or both of our guys! Thanks.
Happy Birthday OMG! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!
ReplyDeleteHappy One-Year Anniversary! Still don't know how you keep coming up with new and entertaining ideas. My thanks to both of you!
ReplyDeleteHappy first year anniversary OMG and congratulations Special K and Wicked for keeping alive such a great blog. You guys rock :D
ReplyDeleteI hope you are both up for another great and eventful year.
Happy anniversary OMG!
ReplyDeleteHappy first birthday. You do a fab job.
ReplyDeleteI just love that bottom picture of the guys. Now that is some chemistry. Heavy, heavy sigh.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary OMG! Keep up the fantastic work, we love you. :)
ReplyDeleteAt last I've managed to connect long enough to say happy birthday OMG :) I read this post earlier today though and got quite teary and nostalgic. What changes a year brings. Thanks for all you do, Spesh and Wicked.
ReplyDelete((BLTB)) miss you & your posts!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to OMG. Wicked and Special you both have done an outstanding job. I love checking in everyday. I hope the coming year will find us all a little happier about J and A. Maybe this year we will get a new picture. How sweet that would feel.
ReplyDeleteAww, thank you, london! ((london tb)) I'm always here in spirit. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to wicked, special and all the other people here! I always look forward reading comments here while enjoying my morning-coffee..well and sometimes quite late too, like now:)
ReplyDeleteAlso, i wanted to say i remember your first post like it was yeaterday. So funny, laughed so hard i almost cried:D
ReplyDeleteI guess i`m one of those trying to figure out what the hell to say anymore, but i wait and hope for better times. Anyway, i`m glad OMG is here. Would have missed it if it suddenly wasn`t anymore.
One year and going strong!
ReplyDeleteHappy B'day, Oh My Godot!
And thank you, Special and Wicked! You've created an oasis, an inviting place to escape the muck of bearding and homophobia.
*hugs*
First, I just wanted to say hi and ((())) to all the old posters who popped by today who have obviously taken to lurking, like bltb, me and max, and anyone else I missed.
ReplyDeleteSecond, I wanted to take up where I left off this morning before work got in the way.
I still think Disney messed up on this one, I didn't see anyone talking about how they wanted to see PoP, unlike when pictures of Heath as the Joker leaked out. And people were for the most part laughing at the movie and debating whether Jake took steroids to get this look, it's not like they were even making too much fun of Reeke. The comments really were directed at the movie. Not good for the first look. And this was clearly about the movie, otherwise we'd have gotten "weekend" pictures of Reeke, not photos from the set.
As for Dlisted not having a post on this, I suspect, based in part on Lainey's comment about the price, that the photos were only made available to a few pr friendly sites like Just Jared and Popsugar, in light of the comments Reeke tends to generate. That's another reason why I think this was a disaster: even on JJ the comments were pretty brutal (I don't know about PoP Sugar, can't bear to look at that sight).
By the way, Gamer, can you give me some links or names of sites where you said guys seem to like Jake's looks? I'd be curious to see those. Even on Data Lounge the consensus seemed to be a thumbs down on the look, and yes, I know we're not talking about gamers, but I figure gay guys are more likely to go for the looks. I also don't think Disney can just count on gamers to make this a bid hit, all big hits have two things in common: they bring in older audiences and women.
Just finished looking at the pics at IHJ. Cracks me up how Jake holds hands- its obvious he doesn't know how to with a woman.
ReplyDeleteThis set is totally lacking ANY connection/communication between them. Its so obvious that they are not fond of each other at all even as friends. The more I look at the pics the more the relationship looks empty and manufactured.
Wanted to add that its funny how Reese is in the sun squinting but her shades are on her shirt. Methinks it was either the hat or the shades for this photo op because the hat with the shades on would REALLY look dorky. My guess is she went with taking off the shades because it was better than showing sweaty matted hat hair.
ReplyDeleteStill laughing about Jake holding hands. Plain as day: He's used to having a man's hands for that grip.
Destiny, how does a site like IHeartJake get their pictures? I know I've wondered this before. I thought they were just a website run by JaneQPublic; I'm not registered there(I refuse to!!) so I have no idea what the website is like. I used to love the website, "JakeWatch, Stalking Jake Gyllenhaal, (or something like that). The girl that did that blog had a really clever wit, but she quit not too soon after I discovered it. Do blogs actually pay for their pictures, sometimes?
ReplyDeleteI still applaud you on your post earlier today. You had a little bit built up in you, didn't you? :)
Happy 1 year. I had no idea you were such a new site.
ReplyDeleteCan you believe her treking all the way to Africa for a photo op? She wouldn't spend more than three days on location with Ryan even when he was in Canada. Maybe she learned her lesson. Being away too long makes boys go astray.
Anyway wishing you a Reese-Free Year Two.
Oh and I don't care how much I love someone I would not hold their hand if it were 100 degrees. How sweaty! Just one more bit of evidence that this is a showmance.
ReplyDeletePrairie girl, why do you refuse to register for IHJ pic site? its no big deal, all you do is give them yor email. iIf you're worried about it, get a free extra addy from yahoo or g-mail and use that. the pics they have are huge like 1200 x 1600 and its fun to see them all. you won't regret it. and no I don't work for them!
ReplyDeletewhy do you refuse to register for IHJ pic site? its no big deal, all you do is give them yor email.
ReplyDeleteI don't know. Fear of commitment? Because I'm an oh-so-private fan?
LOL!!! Heck, I don't know. I thought it was mostly fangirls. I don't like to think of myself as one - Sigh. Well, got talked into Netflix, now maybe IHeartJake, too. You guys twist my arm and I'm a glutton for punishment.
TR, exactly. 100 degrees; not even a scarf around the neck or a necklace feels good in that.
ReplyDelete"Can you believe her treking all the way to Africa for a photo op?"
ReplyDeleteShe has lots of free time on her hands, and she's on retainer to Disney and Avon.
Congrats OMG! I discovered your site a couple of months ago and have enjoyed your posts and everyone's comments ever since. I loved Jake, but since it became obvious to me that Reeke is fake, my love for him has lessened. After seeing the latest pics, I've pretty much lost almost all respect for him. OMG is one of the very few reasons I still have any interest in Jake (he's still really nice eye candy, Reeke or not). Wishes for much more success and that Reese will get lost in the desert in Africa forever.
ReplyDeleteSorry, that was me.
ReplyDeletePG, you're right, I did have all those thoughts gnawing at me and just had to get them out. And I'm troubled by a lot of what Jake does even when you factor out the bearding.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure about IHJ, but I don't think they pay for pictures. I suspect they don't have to pay because they're not a commercial site, and at least in the old days they didn't use to get the pictures so fast. I think of IHJ as a great resource, so I don't think you should be afraid of them, I think Stephanie is probably okay, and is certainly not in the babbler category. Just a long-time fan. Of course it has become a reeke-fest by default, but you really should look through the older stuff.
Tr, you're right about the heat and hand-holding. We can always count on you to come up with something we've all missed.
Destiny, thanks for the reply. Yeah, I'm troubled, too, and I'm not near as astute of an observer as you and others here. Several pictures that have been posted here of Jake for Spotlights (like the one of him @ the airport in his longer hair) where his eyes just have this spooked out, freaked out, almost scared look. Other behaviors that just don't seem like he's leading a relaxed life at all.
ReplyDeleteGonna say goodnight with a neat lil poem from Mister Rogers that I had a couple years ago in a daily calendar. Sometimes people poked fun at him, but I tell you what, that man had alot of smarts. Kept it for a reminder to myself at times, but now I dedicate it to one of our favorite boys:
I'm Still Myself Inside
I can put on a hat, or put on a coat,
Or wear a pair of glasses or sail in a boat.
I can change all my names
And find a place to hide.
I can do almost anything, but
I'm still myself
inside.
And people here still care about that person inside. May gripe, bitch, & moan about things going on right now, but if people didn't care, they wouldn't still be here.
ReplyDeleteAwesome poem to share.
ReplyDeleteAnd people here still care about that person inside. May gripe, bitch, & moan about things going on right now, but if people didn't care, they wouldn't still be here.
Couldn't say it any better PG.
I love that poem PG, and nice thought to end the day with.
ReplyDeleteI'm still myself
ReplyDeleteinside.
And people here still care about that person inside.
Touché, PG, - and FYI, the last three lines of The Catcher in the Rye are:
It's funny. Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody.
Happy birthday OMG!
Prairie Girl, it's definitely worth it to register on IHJ. There are actually 2 parts, each requires seperate registration. The Gallery is 100% photos. They and are nicely sorted for quick searches by year, type and can be viewed in clusters, slide show or in High Def. Just skip the Community registration. That is where all the fan girl teeny boppers make their comments. Skews very young.
ReplyDeleteJake, who also starred in Donnie Darko, was almost unrecognisable as he strode bare-chested on set in Morocco with girlfriend Reese Witherspoon, 32. ...
ReplyDeleteTHAT'S why the PoP pics came out with Reese visiting on set and them holding hands in 100 degree heat. Its exactly the typical blurb and pics they want all over the internet and papers and rags and mags. Its PR for the movie and image reinforcement for Jake. Reeke is gonna go on for a long time. It makes me sick.
Happy birthday OMG
ReplyDeleteOne of our mags over here has Reeke on the cover with a smaller pic of Abbie and Ryan stating that they are racing to the altar.
And if they do, that's exactly what it will be for Reese. Tit for tat.
With all this trekking anyone think Reese's price tag will be $2 million next time Jake is transferring money over?
Thanks, m, for the tip. Maybe will register tonight.
ReplyDeleteTHAT'S why the PoP pics came out with Reese visiting on set and them holding hands in 100 degree heat. Its exactly the typical blurb and pics they want all over the internet and papers and rags and mags.
Kind of sickening, isn't it? They were on Talk Soup, ET Tonight, and Extra yesterday. I'd be curious if she's going to spend the rest of her time there out in the glorious 100degree heat, having her hand clenched. Or since mission accomplished, will the rest of the time be spent in an air conditioned hotel room, refusing to come out til it's time for the return flight home, lol?
Then again, we could all be in for some kind of surprise. Honestly, this is real life and one can never predict the twists & turns of the road ahead. Just when you think you know how it's all going to play out, things can always change unexpectedly. One can only hope.
Happy Anniversary OMG!
ReplyDeleteAn engagement in Morocco would be great publicity for this film.
ReplyDeletePG, did you FINALLY sign up for Netflix?!
ReplyDeletePoP target public doesn't care about Reese or Reeke.
ReplyDeleteJake and Reese in Marrakech
ReplyDelete^Her publicist had to earn her trip to Morocco somehow.
ReplyDelete"in their suites"
ReplyDeleteIn two suites?
"in their suites"
ReplyDeleteStarting with the Rome trip, whenever Reeke travels they always book the whole floor (as in Rome), several suites (Paris) or an entire house (Cabo, London). If they booked only one room, they'd have to sleep in the same bed. Being that they don't actually have sex with each other (like a real couple would) they each need their own bed. I wonder when they'll both get tired of living this very public lie.
That's my point - People is expected to make them look like a couple.
ReplyDeleteFrom the IHJ set pics caption:
ReplyDeleteReese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal on the set of Jake's latest movie "Prince Of Persia" filming in Morocco North Africa. Jake is pictured here with a very toned torso, and is bare chested so we can all see why Reese took the time and trouble to fly across 3 continents on commercial flights to spend some quality time with her beau. The happy couple spent the weekend at an exclusive luxury Moroccan hotel "Amanjena" They went for lunch on Saturday to a typical Moroccan restaurant in the "Medina" followed by a tour of the Medina. They did not venture out of their luxury suite Sunday. 8.11.08
People: Cut and paste from a French site, other mentions are suite/hotel
Nice fiction! LOL
