You'll Never Believe This!!!

Apparently, in honor of the Olympics in London or something, the people who make the "Now That's What I Call..." cds have inducted another one into their collection.

Now That's What I Call British. This CD has the Union Jack on front, and if you are unfamiliar with what this means, Union Jack is a nickname for the British flag. And the songs on it are all, not surprisingly, by British artists.

As far as my opinion goes, the only song on there I like is Pocket Full of Sunshine and Viva La Vida. I've heard Domino by Jessie J get played so many times I can hear it in my sleep! On the TVs at work, I see her come on and one of my coworkers jokingly says "Oh goody, another British singer, I thought we had a whole buttload of them in the 1960s?" She says that in the nicest of ways, by the way

Hot Man Friday: Matt Bomer

For those who watch the show White Collar, you'll know who I mean. Matt Bomer aka "Neal Caffrey"

And it makes me sad to know he's gay. That a guy is going to sleep next to that hot, gorgeous, blue eyed hunk of Texas-born hottie!!!!!!

Vacation!!!!!

I'm going here in September. I'm sort of looking forward to it, then again, not so much. They say it's too dangerous to travel outside the resorts, so naturally, while my sister is of legal drinking age in Mexico, aka 16, I'll have to walk her back to our room that we'll be sharing. Me and her are in one room and my mom and stepdad are in another.

First things first, I've gotta stock up on books, lmao!!

Hot Man Friday: Dominic Rowan

I've been catching up on episodes of Law and Order: UK via YouTube. Been busy lately with work, so I could not catch up with this show. Though I've discovered you can watch TV episodes on the Internet. Thank you, God!!!

Anywho, ever since I started watching this show, I've noticed that Dominic Rowan and Jamie Bamber are the 2 cutest ones. And random thought: Anyone ever notice Michael, Jamie and Dominic seem to be very common, popular names in England? IDK, just something I noticed. :D

IDK what it is about this guy that I find cute, he's just cute. I know of no reason why, he's just cute. I love his adorable English accent. BTW, I think that is what makes a woman attracted to an English guy, cute accent. For some reason, American women seem to be very attracted to the accents of British guys. My "standards" for guys are low. As long as they have a pulse and are breathing, ok.  And if they have handsome eyes, like blue or brown, that's it, the fight is over, I'm hooked, lmao!!!!!

Hot Man Friday: Jon Bon Jovi

IDK what it is about this guy I find sexy, he's just sexy for some reason. Maybe adding to his sex appeal is the fact he's Italian. Oh yeah, definitely gotta be that!!! He's Italian, sings, dances, writes music, OMG, a heart attack with pretty eyes! He's a hot hunk of New Jersey Italian!!!
