Wild Wayback West

Throwing it way back to look at one of Austin's first project. 

Durango Kids!

And Jake wasn't the only time traveler.  Austin has gone back to the future too.

"Four kids slip through a hole in time when they discover a hidden mine shaft that transports them to the old Wild West. Their magical journey takes them to a place where they encounter thieving bandits, pandemonium and adventure in their pursuit of lost gold. What the youngsters don't know is that their Principal is trying to capture the lost treasure first. Now the gang has to stick together to find the hidden gold before their evil Principal locates the loot for himself! Adventure has a new Posse!" (IMDB)

Austin made this when he was a freshman. 
No, not in high school.

 College! 

 Yup a freshman at USC.

 I can handle these covered wagon wheels.  I have a dirt bike. Come on!

So that wasn't a clutch, but the release for the horse pulling us.  We're good, we've got the wagon.  What do those horses have? Freedom? 

I danced. And lost my shirt Mrs. Oleson.  Now can I get pair of horses for our wagon?

I didn't take my shirt off on purpose it got caught in the thresher. And I wasn't crying when that lady was ogling me.  It was trail dust in my eyes. And she was no lady!

[To the new horses]  Now shhhhhhh.  You know nothing how I got you.  That's between you me and the fence post.

Sound off

This is my rifle
This is my gun
This is for fighting
This is for fun

It's easy Michael just remember clip clip pepper wand,
radio cuff,
cuff, gun.

Oops that's a miss.

Jake showing his skill at dodging bullets or his Vegas dance moves.

Nothing to see people. Nothing to see. Move along.
A post today would not be a post without these.

Son of a Bishop

Remember way back when OTH was just starting and Austin tweets out these little ditties?
My breasts are shrinking. Should I get implants? 9:05 PM Jul 20th, 2010

thanks for all your support about my boobs. i feel better. i no longer feel i need implants. jeez, it's hard to be a man!! 10:09 PM Jul 20th, 2010


I saw a woman at the gym yesterday with abs bigger than my tits Friday, July 30, 2010 10:08:01 AM

And wondered why?


Well could it be that he was having a little fun because he heard something similar from his co-star when they were in between takes?

After a recent appearance at Fashion week, there was a some speculation about body work. Was the chess master (Mr. Nichols) playing 8 moves ahead and now everyone is just catching up?

Happy shirtless Austin Friday.

Something to think about how the tall Texan plays his hand. You never know something said now could be a hint of something in the future.

And a little Jake sneaking into Austin Friday. (Not like that's first)

Almost two years ago there was some talk about Jake chasing Matt Damon. Now there is more talk but this time in Variety and Jake being a shortlist to take over the Bourne franchise. Could this be the reason the project with Linman has been on indefinite hold? Will the holding pattern with Linman help Jake edge out the competition of Tobey Maguire, Garrett Hedlund, Taylor Kitsch, and Kellan Lutz ? Looks like there's a lot riding on Source Code for Jake. As well as for Duncan. (Will Source Code reveal Duncan Jones as a genius or a master of MacGuffin?)

Gym -boy -wee!

Heating up a Winter's Day.


Jake might have quit the gym. But it seems Austin hit it between season 7 and season 8.
(Now the trick is to stop staring long enough to comment. But going back to compare and contrast is encouraged)


All those worries about implants are for naught Mr. Nichols it seems like there is no shrinkage at all.



UPDATE:
Doesn't look like the gym is the only thing Jake quit. People Magazine is breaking news that he and Ms Swift are splitz.

You Can Quote Me on That

For Austin, I started writing shirtless scenes for him because I thought he was sexy as hell.

- Mark Schwahn (Rants & Raves The Futon Critic)

Just what Austin needs. An enabler for losing his shirt at work, isn't the one at home enough?

So Schwahn is responsible for these:



And Austin is own his own for these:


Two OTH articles that came out this weekend give more insight on the mastermind of the Tree Hill World and why you see what you see on screen. The Futon Critic and one in the LA Times that talks about Mark Schwahn and Joe Davola's hands on or better said online approach to One Tree Hill.

"It's no accident that fans have followed the show over the years on different nights and time periods. They're rabid for good reason. Schwahn and fellow executive producer Joe Davola have taken a DIY approach to promoting "One Tree Hill" from the beginning, when Davola decided that rather than hiring an assistant, he'd bring in someone to help them reach out to the show's fans. The pair still run their own series website, Facebook page and Twitter accounts."

You think Mark ever saw all of our "oops I forgot my shirt" jokes we've made about Austy?


And how does OTH get away with all the crazy, "seriously are they doing that" storylines? Well Austin has the answer for that one. "We can go for things like that on 'One Tree Hill,' a benefit of being sort of the ugly stepchild on the network,"

But now we know that Mark doesn't think of Austin as that. : )


And tonight dose of One Tree Crazy?



Believe Me I'm Lying" Season 7 Episode 4 - Nathan's Baby Mama drama goes public. Brooke's fashion show becomes American's Next Top Model for Milli, - "I have 10 dresses in my show and only 9 models standing". Haley becomes Dr. Phil and convinces Quinn to talk to the hubs, David. Meanwhile, Mouth shuts his and puts his ESPN dreams in jeopardy. Alex discovers that Sharpies pens are not just for autographs anymore. Jamie can read! (tabloids unfortunately). Clay get butchy. And Julian lifts and supports like a good bra boyfriend should.

Sand 'em smooth

As much as things change somethings remain the same.





All this sand and Jake such the woodworker made me think of this.

"I was on the beach - a bit secluded area about two miles north of the Ritz Carlton- Laguna Niguel. I was there with my bf - we like the beach and no one is ever in that corner - the water not quite as easy to deal with but fine if you are not planning on serious swimming or water sports. So we hear some sounds and we see that there are two guys totally making out but they are in shorts and tee shirts so don't get all hyper. And as soon as they hear us they quickly separate and pretend that nothing was going on. I guess because we were behind some rocks they didn't realize that we saw them.

As we get closer we realize one of them is Jake and I have no idea who the other guy is. Sandy hair kinda short and wavy. Couldn't see eye color because both put their sunglasses on really quickly. and Jake put on this baseball cap as we got closer but we already realized it was him.

[I]We probably should have said something but it was kinda awkward. They just nodded and we nodded and kept going. As soon as we were about 20 feet away, they quickly picked up whatever they had and left."

At the time there was all kinds of debate about the sandy short and wavy haired beach bud. But looking at the pictures from Informers makes you wonder if there was that was in the early blonding of the tall Texan. Because we know from Austin himself he does change his hair for the auditions, why not then.

Just a little sandy.

Seek and ye shall find.

Ask and it shall be given.....

There are two One Tree Hill Promos for next Monday one's here and the other you have to seek, no worries - it will be easy to find.

Austin has taken a short stay character like Julian and turned him into something more. He;s grabbed the audience and made them his just like he did with the part. In a early interview he mentioned about this job being different, because there was no room for improvising and that he had to stay on script. But even with the not most sophisticated storyline or line, he took what he had and created a character that now has the old fans talking and new fans coming to OTH. It really shows how far he's grown as an actor. A great actor can always make his part better through his acting.

And seriously the boy has charm. He's the perfect boyfriend with the sweetest kisses. You can hear the Ahhhhhhsss that everyone will be saying when they see this on Monday night.



Don't think Brooke will really want to share Julian with movie Brooke though.


And who can blame her when you get this.

Wait. Is that a shirtless Austin? Has OTH finally joined the list of "Oops I lost my shirt" roles?

Go seek and find at Spooky's (Austin Nichols Journal) and you will see the answer. And while you're there stop by and say Hi!

Oh Happy Austin Friday!

Just what the doctor ordered. ; )

This post will be opened all day today and tomorrow for non music comments, because starting tonight at 5:00PM EST, OMG will be hosting their first music discussion. Come back and join us to discuss your favorite music. Everyone has a favorite and who doesn't love music. You know maybe after today's post we should add, favorite makeout songs to our list.

Wait don't shoot.

Turnabout is fair play, tit for tat and all that.

How can there be pics of Jake yesterday sans shirt and not today? Austin somehow finds a role, or maybe just loses his shirt between rehearsal and actual filming, that has him end half dressed. No apologies, cause this would make anyone misspell and use bad grammar.
Casting head shot
Wait I need to get to get this off before the camera start to roll
Hmmm Yes, that's better. It says so much more about the internal struggle of the character.
Of course it's all about my dedication to my craft. What else would it be?

OMG Olympic Moment
Triathlon
The first triathlon was held on Fiesta Island, California, USA in 1974 as the San Diego University Track Club ventured into new forms of instilling interest in their training programme while inventing “cross-over training” at the same time.

As the ultimate endurance test, triathlon requires athletes to excel at the three “classic sports” of swimming, cycling and running.

The sport requires intense training and discipline at the elite level; many people participate in triathlons because it fits in with a healthy lifestyle. They’re able to train while still pursuing careers and families.

Triathlon made its Olympic debut at the 2000 Summer Olympic Games in Sydney after it was awarded full medal status six years earlier at the IOC congress in Paris. The international popularity of triathlon really started to grow after its inclusion on the Olympic programme. By 2003, ITU’s World Cup circuit expanded to 18 races in 14 different countries.

OMG's take. These two have mastered all three of these sports as we have seen. Of course the most famous Triathlon is the Ironman. Who do you think would get that title?
