i'm sorry but these fellows are less than exciting. it seems others might feel the same seeing as there are no comments yet. but don't stop posting. i still think this is silly fun.
1. the only one i know anything about is of course the latest record holder of soooooo many records in swimming and gold medals etc... michael phelps.
i guess having a date with him now might cause a stir and the paparazzi(sp) would have a field day.
i probably should know others but i don't.
2. these are none of my favourite actors although they are fairly tolerable.
dump - jude law, he tries to be cute but all i can see him as is a lying cheat. he' s full of himself and that's the way it should stay himself, all alone.
hugh jackman- dump- his hairy side with the long claws things could be disastrous.
daniel craig- dump- i know everyone thinks he is so now but i can only see him as the evil priest(old movie) even with all the bond james bond stuff.
3.
i probably could at least make myself go on one date with each after promptly i would dump each one. not because i don't like them i just couldn't be a presidents wife. too much pressure to be perfect.
i especially would like to sit and have a long drawn out conversation with ron reagan. i find him fascinating.
Marmee: Sorry the fellows were less than exciting. (If you want to know more about those who are unknown to you, you can click on the link to read about them and see photos.) I have an idea! Why don't you supply the next installment of choices...I'm completely curious as to who your favorite actors might be!!! You can email the list of men to me, and I'll post them next week some time. Whadyasay???
ssm,
i'll have to consider it. one of the reasons i like this is because i don't have to really think, i just respond, that is what makes it silly fun.
i knew you could click on the names i just didn't really want to. as you see it was on the late side when i posted.
Okay...sorry, I have had my nose in a book for the last 5 days! However, I left it at home so instead of reading during my lunch break, I will answer your questions. So, without further ado...
1. Michael Phelps- Date and maybe marry. Loves gold and that can be a good thing if he into buying it as well as winning it...just make mine white gold! I would never have to worry about if my shoes would make me taller than him.
Bryan Clay- Definitely marry. I honestly hadn't heard of him, but I was impressed by what I read. Seems to have a solid relationship with God and cares about other people. But alas, he is already married.
Usain Bolt- Dump! Seems full of himself.
2. Jude Law- Dump. I am just not a fan.
Hugh Jackman- Marry. I have always been a sucker for the Australian accent.
Daniel Craig- Date. While it would be cool to be Bond. Jane Bond...I could never handle all the drama. The explosions, the car crashes, the other women...Nah, I'll pass! But it would be fun to date him.
3. I haven't decided on these yet, but here are some initial thoughts...
Abraham Lincoln- I could always wear heels and never worry about being taller than him. A trip to the theater becomes fatal.
John F. Kennedy- Dies a tragic death at an early age and then everyone would follow me and the children around FOREVER!!! I am so not a fan of paparazzi!!!
Ronald Reagan- Actor turned politician...and not bad looking in those early years. Does die of Alzheimer's which already runs in my family. Maybe we could just end up lost and confused together. J/K. Maybe that isn't so funny, but considering I just spent a weeks with my grandfather, it's just easier to laugh at this point.
Since MJM just posted, I will go ahead and make a stab at this too. It takes me a few days to consider the prospects, so here goes:
1. Michael Phelps - don't think I could marry him, way too tall, I would look like a mushroom next to him. but he loves his Mom & sisters (good relationships with women), so thoughtful and respectful. so rich, too. will be remembered for his Olympic feat forever. he never lost his cool, so must have a good nature. he seems to be the marrying kind, just wonder if he would wear all eight medals to bed at night ;-)
Bryan Clay - completely cool, handsome, greatest athlete in the world. can dedicate himself (like Michael) to his goals, and to his family it seems. would make a nice date, sure to treat you special and would be welcomed anywhere in the planet!
Usain Bolt - hate to say dump! he has every reason to be proud of his success, even arrogant. consider his humble beginnings and where he is today with hard work and determination. and he likes to have fun, even make sport of himself. but i figure he would always be running off someplace and i could not keep up with him, for sure! also, way too tall!
2. Jude Law - dump! way too full of himself, abandons the mother of his children for a fling. conceited, foul-mouthed, etc, etc.
Hugh Jackman - alright for an Aussie! seems to have his head on straight, shares his fame with his wife & family, down home kind of guy - good marriage possibility, just not sure of living 'down-under'.
Daniel Craig - another Brit! having a geneaology of British, Irish, Scotch myself i don't know if we could tolerate each other - but we would understand each other's wry humor. i am not especially fond of guns, funky cars & gadgets, swinging from high buildings, crashing into things, and could never, ever become a Bond girl - so i would have to dump him. nice looking bloke though!
3. Abraham Lincoln - awesome statesman, given to great introspection, makes historical speeches in just a few words - but, also very melancholy, a loner, and lives only to serve his country. he would be a fascinating person to date, just wouldn't make any theatre appearances with him.
JFK - dump! yes, he has charisma, looks, family wealth, and world leadership qualities. but he is so insecure in himself, he has to pump up his pride with incandescent affairs, right in the same house he shares with his wife (it is big enough to get lost in). he is two-faced and a liar to boot. too many connections to the underworld - scary thought!
Ronald Reagan - marry. fully American success story! came up by his bootstraps and made his own way to the Presidency of the U.S. - loves the outdoors and horses and just regular folks. loyal to his country, his destiny, his wife. wrote her beautiful letters, a romantic! his world wide respect brought an end to the 'cold war' and gave us years of real peace. a real gentleman i could respect, admire and be proud to be his wife.
1. Olympic Gold Medalists: Michael Phelps, Bryan Clay, Usain Bolt
MARRY: Bryan Clay, greatest athlete in the world. Family man. Evangelical Christian (not sure what that means, really, but it sounds good!) He's good looking too! Cons: still wears spandex on occasion. That is SO 1980s!
DATE: Michael Phelps. Not crazy about the shaving the whole body thing or about his hiney hanging out most of the time. Again, another spandex-wearer. And he's surely to be all "pruney" most of the time from being the water so much. Plus, I think he has daddy-issues. But that might not be so bad considering all my issues. :o) Plus he has a record that won't soon be broken, if ever. And I like me my gold (ditto, mjm!).
DUMP: Lightning Bolt. The ultimate "hard to catch" guy. :o) While he'd be a good guy to have around if we're ever on the lam and running from the law, I want my man to be in love with ME, not HIMSELF! I like his accent, but anyone who celebrates before crossing the finish line is off the list.
2. Famous Actors: Jude Law, Hugh Jackman, Daniel Craig
MARRY: Hugh Jackman. One word: Leopold. (Oh! That gives me an idea for a future post. Hee-hee!) Plus, he married his wife (who is older than him I believe) when she was the famous one and he was starting out. Now he's world-wide and he hasn't traded her in for a younger, thinner model. Pros: he can sing and dance and do both at the same time!
DATE: Jude Law AND Daniel Craig. Wait! Who do I think I am? Sienna Miller?!? I know Jude has his fidelity issues. And that would be a down-side. Unless I dumped him first, in order to go out with Craig, Daniel Craig. Danny boy is a great actor, and even though I was bitter at first at having a blonde Bond, I was a fan after the flick. And even though Law is a tad on the skinny side, he can appear amazingly charming and dashingly handsome.
DUMP: Law and Craig...eventually.
3. Past Presidents: Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan
MARRY: Reagan. Oh how the Democrats hate him. And it's no wonder. He proved all their theories (about economics, foregin policy, national defense, etc.) w-r-o-n-g. Who among the fledgling politicians will play a part in anything so great as the fall of the Berlin wall AND the end of the Cold War. Eat your heart out! Plus, he's charming and loyal and has said some of the funniest yet brilliant things ever. mjm: LOL about being lost and confused. Dreamlady: don't forget about marriage #1 though: Jane Wyman and all that went on with that. Love letters to Nancy, yes, but heartache prior. I'm just saying...
DATE: Lincoln: Would make him shave his beard though. :O)
DUMP: Kennedy: Adultery. Addicted to painkillers. Sickly. Dies young. Raised to believe he's entitled. Is the poster child for the Democratic party and has ties to the Mob. Good chance that he and other members (plural) of his family have innocent blood on their hands. No thanks. I'll ask not what Kennedy can do for me, but what I can do without Kennedy.
s/s/m - sidenote: sure, i remember the Reagan/Wyman marriage (i am old enough to have been round then). lots of young love entanglements go off the tracks (i can also relate). but once he found his true soulmate ... he was loyal, faithful, and really on his way to his personal best success ... from Hollywood, to Gov of Ca, to Chief of State in Washington, D.C. ... kind of impressive life story! that's my take anyway ;-)
