Happy Birthday Jakey!!

Happy Birthday Big Guy!
Find that song you've got and sing it!!

That's it - what we all want for Jake.

We may all have different opinions about where and how to get it, but when you get right down to it, that's the same thing on everyone's list by Jake's name.


Jake may you find more smiles, spend more time with those who bring you joy, and fill your heart with love x 10.

Jake -

Hope you get to sleep in late, wake up laughing in bed with the man who makes you grin so bright, and spend the day with those you love.

Happy Birthday Jake!

I hope you have lots of fun today with your friends and family and your man took some pointers from our Special and got you some great presents ;)

Also a happy birthday to Rattler, if you're reading this right now.

Happy Birthday Jake.

I hope you you use your birthday to really reflect on your life, and find the courage and wisdown to be yourself and get off the road to self-destruction before you lose the things that really matter in life.

One word for Jake right now.

LOSER.

You know some of you say they'll marry over and over. You just want it to happen to prove you're right. You just want to be right.

Some people say it because if Reeke married they'd finally be able to quit Jake.

Where I come from we don't go up to complete strangers on their birthdays and offer them unasked for advice on how to live their lives, so I'm just going to hope you keep annoying the crazy fangirls who treat you like a character in a fanfic and think they know what is going on in your life.

Happy Birthday Jake!

Happy birthday to Jake. Anyone see WFT2. The line is "I love you just the way you were". That's as negative as I'll get on this auspicious day. He's entitled to some peace today.

So yesterday was the pageant, today is the party. Wonder who the guests will be.

Reeke was supposed to de-gay Jake and sex-up Reese. After two years, the gay rumors are still swirling to an ever widening audience, the bearding had a scorched earth effect on Jake's fan base, and Reese is seen as a harpie controlling kid pimping faghag.

Way to go, Eveyln and Co. You've done your clients right!

Hi guys! That exclamation point is still very much positive on the important fronts. We missed all the major ice here. I still have a job & a paycheck. Still have my health today (except for all the usual creaks, groans, & ow's). Still have my old friends and new ones coming all the time. Still got yogurt for lunch, lol.
Gotta still try & keep some of it in perspective, don't we. Still doesn't erase the pain of yesterday, tho. Don't expect it to. Life's not a perfect bowl of cherries, after all.

I do wish Jake a happy birthday. Don't know if he'll get to spend it how he'd like; somehow I really doubt it.

They had to make good on the promise of the Christmas pagaent. Guess that was to be expected since there was so much scoffing at the idea of it. Ted's timing on his Numb-Numb BV could not have been no coincidence on the eve of his birthday and return to the U.S. for said celebration. Reese nor Jake can be very happy about Ted's spillings. I don't care if people think he does do it for a small audience. Enough people are seeing it; Hollywood and non-Hollywood. And Camp Reeke's 2 big SideThorns, OMG & WFT2 are seeing it and are nailing him to the wall about it.Who wants their reputation tarnished like that after working so hard at carving & perfecting it? Who wants their sordid sex life details splattered all over the internet like that, least of all someone who used to be perceived as "sweet" as Jakey G?

I don't know. The whole thing is becoming like a Jackie Collins novel, lol. No kidding.

Kacie & London, I'm waiting to hear your latest opinions. And where on earth is mr Chris? Chris, I would've thought you'd be all over this with something to say. Are you panic holiday shopping? Working round the clock? Trapped in arctic temperatures or monstrous snowdrifts? lol.

All I can say is that I wish Jake
a happy birthday. I realize that he is going to live his life the
way he wants. I just know that his
life has changed. I just hope with
all my heart that Austin will not
get fed up with all this and take
a hike one day. As for Jake and
Reese, who knows what will happen?
I am just sort of disgusted with
the whole thing.
Whatever happens, I wish Jake
well and also Austin. I think I
am going to concentrate on Austin
and his career from now on. I do
hope that Jake does not get involved in drugs-that is dangerous! I am so tired that I am
going to close off! I only work
2 days next week and then am off
until January 5,2009. I guess
everybody should just be thankful
they have their health and roof
over their head!! Happy Holidays,
everybody!! So sorry for the long
post as usual. Hello, Prairie Girl!

Hey Kacieee! Big hug to you! Isn't this something? Who would've thought we'd be discussing all this yesterday & today? I wish you could've joined the chat last night. Well, I would've missed out, tho, since I couldn't get my sentences to go through. It was pretty cool - it was like one big "Instant Message" session. I have got to figure out what went wrong so I can participate next time.

Get some rest, Kacie. Glad to hear you're doing okay all in all.
Bye-bye! Happy holidays to you & your family if we don't speak again til the New Year.

Throwing out the whole Reese part of it for a minute. Jake has had a pretty shitty year and it is nothing that Reese caused. Heath died, his grandmother died, his parents divorce and all of that coming out in the public, and all the money problems with Nailed.

Yeah you might say its bad karma- but still...

So Jake - you're home he's home you're all together -enjoy your birthday.

prairiegirl said...

Boy, he really knows how to kill a birthday party, don't he?

heavy sigh

I think for me the thing about yesterday's pictures weren't so much him with Reese. As usual, those 2 looked miserable/apathetic towards each other. No, for me it was the insistance on being seen ingrained into that family. The confirmation of the "Christmas pagaent" reporting. Either they had to show that he really was participating in that family event or this is further reinforcement of him becoming a permanent part of her family. I think it's the "no letting up" on that part of their beard situation. And it's that part about it that has me thinking maybe he really is going to marry her eventually. I think that if this was just a temporary bearding thing, he would've been seen with the kids a few times and then that would be it. But it's constant now. And it blows my mind because at no point in all the pictures does it look like those kids are fond of him or used to him. And to think that such a ridiculous nuptial can actually be in the offing still seems unfeasible and outlandish. But it's beginning to take root in my mind, I don't know about anybody else.

Jake, I think your birthday balloons are already fallen from the ceiling and down about 3 inches from the ground as far as I'm concerned. The party was over before it even started.

What I wouldn't give for about 1/2 hr with Mr. Ted C.

LOL! And my big depressing comment comes right on the heels of your very nice one, Special. Shows where my heart is. I can't help it. I'm publishing it anyway because it's how I feel.

Call me one big ol' melted candle mess on the ol' Birthday Cake.

prairiegirl said...

But not to end on that note!! I'm going to forget all this mess for awhile tonight and go out to try & tackle more Christmas shopping. Going to go lay down for a bit & try to get a little snooze in and then head out.

It is the weekend officially now, after all. Woohoo... oh, er - excuse me - WOOHOOO!
lol, had to up the octane on that WooHoo the second time. first one was kind of wimpy.

Jake Gyllenhaal is a Sagittarius, born December 19, 1980 at 8:06 pm in Los Angeles. This outgoing and enthusiastic sign is a natural for self-expression, but usually prefers to share its own ideas rather than read from a script. Jake's Sagittarius Sun, though, is joined with Neptune, the planet of imagination, in the Fifth House of his chart, the sector associated with creativity and play. This is an excellent combination for an actor because it reflects Jake's need to perform along with an ability to alter his personality to fit each role.....

Sagittarians generally like to take risks. The excitement of danger -- physical, emotional or professional -- addresses this sign's need to go where others fear to tread.....

Venus, the planet of love, artistry and beauty, also reveals Jake's interest in breaking the rules. His is in Sagittarius, which reinforces his Sun's interest in chancy activities. But it's a close conjunction between his Venus and revolutionary Uranus that really sets him apart. Venus conjunct Uranus makes for unusual tastes, appreciation for the strange and unusual, and relationships in which freedom is more important than security....

Jake's Moon -- the planet of emotions and moods -- is in adaptable Gemini, underscoring his ability to change attitudes, appearances and roles with relative ease. Diverse Gemini is hungry for variety, which is ideal for actors who have to reinvent themselves in every part they play. Jake's Ascendant (Rising Sign) is Leo, another positive attribute for someone in the public eye.

Yup. I felt this some time ago. That's why I think they are together. J/R I thought it would have been over early this summer, but they are still together. And he is showing her kids lots of time. Not the supposed Babytile. Makes no sense. I would have thought If there were a baby, he would have done a Ricky Martin. I like what he has done, no statement just a proud papa. I believe Jake would do this if there was a babytile. But no baby, no Austin and constant Reese and kids. Posters who believe in babytile and that J/A are still together, sorry, and I hope you all don't get mad at me. I respect your views but I'm just speaking my mind. The man likes men ALSO, but I think he's with Reese, (FOR NOW)!

I hope when he says "I do" to Reese, he won't be all torn up inside, he'll mean it.


I have a very traditional view on marriage (shoot me).It's a sacred thing and if you're not ready, don't do it.

I'm ok with him being not gay but I respect all the opinions here and, please, don't call me a babbler, because I'm so not one of them.

I'm sure they never were "together".
Summer? Huh? Didn't you see Reese's "Back on top" tabloid cover? She worked long and hard for that! LOL

Re the concert pics, where are the other kids? where are the people who attended the concert? Why are there no pics of Reeke mingling? Why only some pics on a lonely street among the trees & cars? I thought this planet had people on it. Did they even go to a concert?

If Reeke is a family, why are they never seen with friends and other family members? I think this "sweet little family" is a family that goes out to be paped and placed in tabloids.

JMO as always :)

What about Reese and her "I'm absolutely wonderful mother" PR?
Reese needs kids to be part of the charade, Ryan must not be seen as a better parent.

prairiegirl said...

You have every right to say whatever you feel inside, eastcoast. None of us really knows for sure, do we? I just hope you're wrong, lol. And I've still got a pledge to give you a noogie thump on the head someday.

I don't think Jake & Reese are really "together". Ever have been. They don't show it. I just think the possibility of them getting married seems very real now to me. A part of me can't imagine Reese taking part in it. I could see Jake doing it. But I still have a hard time seeing her do it. Then again, what do I really know? Not a whole lot when it comes to HW and how it works. If Van Johnson could do what he did, then why couldn't Jake. But wow, what a horrible step in life that would be.

Tom, I like your fire. You have alot of passion & I identify with that. And I like how you aren't afraid to say hey, I might've been a little quick on the draw. I totally understood your reaction last night. Anyway, this person here in Sunflower land is touched by your still burning flicker of belief. I need it to nick me a little bit as I've been struggling since last night. Not giving up; just having a rough time with it for right now.

Man, I'm trying to get up the gumption to get out in that cold. brrr

A little off topic.

About 4 or five years ago. hummm time is flying soooo fast it could have been 5 or 6 years! LOL

OK, About 4 years ago there was a story on either HBO sports or ESPN about one of the assistant coaches of the Tampa Bay Bucs. He was single about 40 - 45 and adopted a very small infant (boy) and was raising the infant by himself. There was NEVER any mention of a wife, girlfriend, female lover or man. I think a sister or a female neighbor would help him out occasionally. The baby was so young that he had to fix or heat up the formula, stay up nights with the child along with the feeding every 2 or three hours of the night. This guy was very handsome and sexy with a little gray. Masculine and very proud of his situation. He said he always wanted a kid. But, there still was no mention of former marriage, impotence, not the right woman, nothing. I thought immediately that he was in the life (gay). But the inteviewer never asked or illuded to it. He folded diapers the whole nine yards. He also would bring the child to the Bucs practice and during breaks he was always with the child. The players who were questioned on camera were or seemed very supportive of him. I think only one other coach spoke about him and the situation. Baby in baby carrying thing (lol) while he and other coaches are preparing strategy for upcoming opponents. I was so amazed at how PROUD he was of his situation. It was amazing. Maybe I will try to find out about HBO / ESPN files or something to bring this story to spotlight. I just know this guy was gay. Man but it was a beautiful story.
Hell, alot of my veiws and openness has changed since then I saw this on TV. If anyone remember this or know about it, please give more info about it. PEACE

some of the talk, mine included made me think of this. Again, the man was Proud to be a dad.

prairiegirl said...

London!!!! So good to see you. I hope you are well. I had to reach out to you because I wanted to make sure you were ok. Just checking up on ya and your comment was short & to the point. You mince no words and I liked it.
It's helped to bring my mood up.

flf, you raise some good questions. And look how Reese is dressed up and the way Jake looks reminds me of when I was living in a dorm at college. Some of the guys would come to first morning class looking like they just rolled out of bed already wearing their clothes, stepped into some flip-flops, and sauntered over to the classroom. Just surprised he would look like that for a school/church event of Ava's. What is up with that. And swinging those flowers around like they're a flyswatter, lol. There's no way his eyes show any enjoyment in that event whatsoever. And the one picture of him & Reese holding hands looks like strictly an obligatory token pr picture. The whole thing is just laughable, really.

Well, everyone have a nice evening. 2 days in a row, eastcoast! Good to see you. Oh, and hey - I would just try googling that story with some of the key words you have there. Tampa Bay single father...or something like that. Sounds like a really interesting story. Was he a first-stringer/starter?

Okay, now I'm really going to go. Bye, London! Eastcoastfan! Have a great evening. My shopping companion is here and time is a 'wastin'.

These pictures were set up. One agency got all the shots and they were released slowly and only to the usual spots People, Us, PopSugar the other shills like Lainey and Jared were just able to link so they were expensive. Shame on them for involving the kids in this.

Florida Tom said...

One good thing is that the pics were taken and work was down before Jake's birthday. Austin and Jake are together tonight and I doubt it will be at any party given by reese:-)

Special K said...

Cold snowy stormy night here - 4 plus inches on the ground, howling winds and 6-8 inches to go before we're done, so it's a hunker down in the house night.

Despite the recent bv's and the photo ops, always will think only his tall Texan makes his eyes brighten and grin grow. And that is happening now. Bet Austin is working on putting a grin on his face that will take days to wear off.

And we're talking about Jake like he's an old man. Damn the boy just turned 28!

Married - I don't think so because it isn't to Reese's advantage. She's not getting the lift from it like she expected she would. People either think their fake, or just kind of go Reese & Jake -meh they don't stop and make a big deal. They aren't a big deal in public despite the push from PR. Like the old saying goes if Momma ain't happy nobody's happy. If she can't get anything out of it, she's won't do it.

And Jake? He wouldn't do it. Why? Because I think at this point he would rather ring her neck than put a ring on her finger.

And why does he need to get married at 28? Leo - is 34 and still not married. Kevin Connelly 34 never married, Lukas Haas 32 still single, McBongo - is 39 he might be a baby daddy but never married

One thing I found interesting - Leo brought best friend Lukas to the premiere of Revolutionary Road, not Bar.

I'm here to cheer everyone up. Someone on WFT2 posted news that Cantara is having major financial difficulties. Karma.

Everyone sees things differently. In my view, Jake has not been seen with Reese's kids all that often. All things considered, he has not even been seen with Reese that often. Look at Brangelina. They are almost always together. They go to each others events, they move to where each other is working, they are surrounded by their kids. Reeke shots are obviously staged for publicity.

One last thought, as bad as the last BV was, Ted did use the term "his main man". I am always happy to hear Austin has not given up on Jake yet.

prairiegirl said...

Special & dearest m, you help make me feel a heckuva lot better, just like London. You know me - always ready to leap off the dock, lol. Well, I wasn't completely. I was just really discouraged.

But, hey, it was a great day. We're freezing here. Special, you guys can have that snow. I've had enough already & I'm ready for spring. Stores were busy tonight. My sister & I are trying to find a simple checkers set for my nephew and cannot find one.
Can you believe that? You have all these fancy, shmancy games with blinking lights & noises & whatall, and you can't find an old fashioned checkers set.
Tomorrow is going to need to be a dead serious shopping day & still need to get lights up in my bedroom window.

I will disagree with one little thing, tho, Special. No, he's not old at 28. But seriously, he is not looking so springy lately. But I think it's a culmination of 1) all the life stresses he's been through this year like you mentioned, 2) this full year of filming 3 movies and all the travel that went with it. I mean, think about it, it's one thing to travel within the states, but he's been traveling across continents, and 3) the stress of living this big lie of his with Reese. The mental fatigue has got to be there; everytime him & her have to step out, it's like they're onscreen. It's just like their work. Gotta be "on". That would be stressful. So no, he's not old at 28, he's just not looking it, in my opinion.

Well, going to take a gander around cyberair and then head for the ol' bed. This day has just flown by; it's always bedtime before I'm ready for it.

prairiegirl said...

I forgot that I had one more question. Where did that first picture/video clip come from? Is the onset picture of him watching the video clip on an interview show? That picture is adorable.

destiny said...

Agree with you PG about how Jake is looking. I don't know when I last saw a picture where I thought he truly looked good.

I saw this posted on data lounge in a TT thread, in response to one of the fangirls going on about why anyone would think Jake is gay; it cracked me up:

The evidence that Jake is gay:

* 1.789 photographs

* 25 paparazzi videos

* 47 TV interviews.

Use Google.
