"Tell me something about yourself that I might not know."
"My name is Chris. And I like Mexican Food."
Awww....Poor Chris N with a slight mullet. You finally get your air time and you blew it. Glad though that you could clear it up and let us all know that you are a funny guy because man...my sides were aching from all of your hilariousness. I've got the perfect set up for you though. How about Natalie from the Mesnick series? Because guess what.... she too cracks under pressure and answers questions just like a five year old put on the spot.
I don't feel quite as bad now for asking for subtitles every time you talk. Because Kasey...you are NUTS. I know you think that you are Crazy in L-O-V-E with Ali. But let's be honest...you are just Crrrrraaaaazy!
Let's start with your most obvious Crazy Gesture.
Gesture #1: The TATTOO.
Your "Guard-and-Protect-Ali's-Heart-plus-have-a-brick-for-all-my-new-bromance-home-boys-Tattoo" officially put your craziness over the edge and to a level that we have rarely seen on the Bach. And I have to only imagine that ABC just absolutely loved every minute of your impulsive brand-your-body-for-Ali's-Love moment and thought to themselves, "Ya just can't make this shit up!"
But we all remember the last reality show tattoo and how that one turned out for the Nothin-But-A-Good-Time-and-equally-as-crazy-Ms-Heather:
Poor Heather thought this too was a gesture of L-O-V-E and she turned out with no Bret Michaels, no rose with a thorn, and remains that girl that got the Bret Michaels Tattoo.
Gesture #2: "Singing"
Kasey, your "singing" was so far from anything that we have seen on the show that I almost wished that I had bought Wes' CD to play during your date scene.
There were two thoughts that crossed my mind during your "I-would-rather-listen-to-nails-on-a-chalk-board-or-10-women-screaming-through-labor-Serenade".
1. Anchor Man: "Are you just looking at things in the office and saying that you love them?" "I Love Lamp"
2. Elf:
Buddy: "I'm herewith my dad and we've never met and he wants me to sing a song...And you didn't know I was born....and guess what...I love you, I love you, I love you."
Buddy's Dad: "Wow. That was weird."
I'm pretty sure Ali's silence and the millions of viewers shaking their heads and plugging their ears all agree that.... Wow, that was weird.
Gesture #3: Candy for the sick
Kasey, I am not sure what kind of comfort you would provide Ali... But let's face it.... Chris has got it right. He brings chicken noodle soup. Perfect. Everyone knows that chicken noodle soup heals a sick stomach and the teenage soul.
He bring flowers. Perfect again. There is never a bad occasion for flowers. And finally, Chris brings himself for some some major cuddle time and a game of 32 questions.
But you Kasey, you instead think... nothing heals an upset stomach like all the sugar you can think of. Did you forget the shots of tequila in your room? This may not seem as big of a Red Flag as the Tattoo or singing, but I bring this up because Kasey, this was the most normal thing you did all week and that concludes that you are just weird and c-r-a-z-y.
I look forward to watching even more drama unfold as you finally give your tattoo show 'n' tell and confess your ultimate protect-and-guard-her-heart Love for Ali, as well as continue to bond with your new Blood-Brothers.
But I have one final question Kasey. Was Tenderheart Bear perhaps your favorite toy as a young buck? Do you still cuddle with Tenderheart each night while on the Bach? Do you really wish you could win Ali's love with a Care Bear Stare? Because I'm pretty sure the answer is yes, yes, and yes.
All I can say is...WOW. I saw this one morning on Denver's 7News and I must say, this is my favorite picture of the greatest city!! I Heart You Colorado, You truly are beautiful each and every day!
I realize that not all my BFFs, gal pals, and blog buddies share the same sports enthusiasm that I do. But you can always say just enough to spark that conversation with your sports lover hubby that it will make him drop his jaw that you now know more than the mascots or team colors. Perhaps your "new found love" for sports and conversation starters will bring you breakfast in bed, the laundry folded, or even a nice back rub. At least worth the try.
Tonight you can ask:
"So what do you think about the shake up in the Big 12?"
The Big 12 is (or was) a college conference that included: Baylor, CU, Iowa State, KU, K-State, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, OSU, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech. Just this week, sources say that the Nebraska CornHuskers will move to the Big Ten (which includes big wigs such as Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan, and Michigan State).
This has created quite the buzz in the sports world and other teams are now making the talk to move to other conferences, such as the Pac-10 (includes USC, Cal, Oregon, ASU, UCLA). The CU Buffs just formally announced their move to the Pac.
What does this mean for your sports lover? Well some will enjoy the new competition. While others are mad as hell that their beloved teams will no longer play the traditional rivals. Some worry that their teams will become the easy win for the big wigs in the new conference. What does this mean for the schools? More moo-lah! Let's face it, its all about the money, and so making the move will create better TV deals and give more money to the school.
**Fun fact you can squeeze in: Notre Dame is not a part of any conference. They have a sweet deal with NBC and hope to keep it that way. We shall see after all this conference Red Rover.
"What do you think about USC's punishment?"
As seen on espn, the USC football program will receive a two-year post season ban, a reduction in scholarships, and a forfeiture of wins from at least the 2004 season. YIKES. This is all because of recruiting and academic fraud that happens years ago.
Why is this such controversy? Well for one, the former head coach, Pete Carroll just recently jumped ship and now coaches the Seahawks (NFL team...I know its confusing). None of the players from that time are still at the school. Therefore, fans are saying the USC President and Athletic Director are the ones that should be held responsible, not the poor 18 year olds that just signed up to play for their dream team.
"Should they strip Reggie Bush's Heisman?"
Ladies, you know Reggie Rush...he's the former BF of Kim Kardashian. The NCAA has investigated to see if Bush and his family took improper benefits back in the day. It might conclude to find Reggie Bush retroactively ineligible, and the Heisman Trust could strip him of his 2005 award. Some say so what?? Others still remember the disappointment it was to see Marion Jones stripped of her Olympic Golds. Either way, its the hot topic today.
Ps...The Chicago Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup last night. Beat the Flyers 4-3 in overtime. This the first win for the Windy City team in 49 years! Do I hear post season for the Cubs and Bears coming as well?? (My vote is no as long as Cry Baby Cutler is QB, but I am obviously a little biased).
Today is the day. Today is my first training session with a kick-your-ass-she-might-as-well-be-named-Jillian-Michaels trainer at our local gym. No seriously, she has to be a distance twin of Ms. Jillian. I have seen her work, seen her push her clients, and have taken her boot camp class. And she Kicks Ass. Kicks your ass. Kicks my ass. Kicks everyone's ass.
But this is what I wanted. This is what I asked for. After the Marathon, I needed a new challenge to kick my ass. I may be able to run for hours, but when it comes to the gym, I often wonder if I would be able to complete any of the workouts I see on the Biggest Loser.
And so...when signing up for my sessions, I told her, "I want to really be pushed. Pushed to a new level."
WTF was I thinking? She really is going to Kick my ass!! I am nervous now. She knows I'm ready to be pushed and I am nervous to see what my evening will bring. I am banking on not walking much tomorrow.
This has been my life lately. Catching Up. I am normally very organized...well planned. Quick to respond to emails. Always on the go. I. Get. Things. Done.
But lately...goodness....It has been a struuuuuggle! I have completely forgot about my Goooals. (Can't remember the last time I took vitamins, did my nightly sit-ups, or packed up the snacks for a week.) My inbox is way too full for my comfort. And I have so many outstanding action items that I am just overwhelmed. Poor Mr. T's blog is bare. It's like the babe turns one and I give up on updating family and friends on all of his pure cuteness. Trust me, the cuteness is still there. I'm just a slacker!
So my June Goooal.... Catch the F Up. Catch up on that massive do to list. Catch up on planning my 10 year reunion (Yes, I volunteered for this duty and now realize that I am CRAZY). Catch up on reaching out to family and being there to support them. Catch up with my girlfriends (with a bottle of wine please). And like I said, just Catch the F Up.
"What are the chances of you doing a 12AM showing of Eclipse on June 29th?"
I thought about...for 2 seconds...and said YES. Yes, Yes Yes. My Dearest A and I will join all other 14 year old girls to squeal when Jacob takes off his shirt and skip a heart beat when Edward and Bella make out. Here's a little teaser for all you Twihards and Fanpires.
You were my favorite on night one. Actually, even before that when I stalked the ABC.com website to get a first look at the new 25 h-o-t guys. And you probably scored points with me because you are the closest of the guys to my dear Gator Guy. But you didn't even make it past the second week. You didn't even get any air time. We never learned whether you moved to Paris, played baseball, are insecure about wearing a speed-o, or if you were "dangerous". Nadda. Instead, we were just left with your sweet smile on a night full of Adult Bully D-Bag Drama.
But Chris, there's even another reason I am more sad that you are gone. You leaving and not getting a rose means that My Streak is done. You see...during the first season of the Bach...I chose Trista. Straight out of the limo, I picked the mousy voiced NBA Dancer. I had even picked Ryan during Trista's season, but let's be honest, I just have to support those Colorado Boys! And then I picked Brooke, the cute little gal from the south in season 2 with Aaron.
I chose Deanna on the first night with Womack and cheered to keep watching her bluntness even with how cute and down-to-earth Jenni was. And before "The Mesnick" made an appearance again and again (which is when a grown man buckles down and lets the water works flow while hunched over a balcolny or some sort of ledge), I thought Sleepless in Seattle was the ONE for Ms. D.
And then just last season, like many of us Bach fans out there, I picked the girl next door in yellow to be the ONE for Jake. Ali may have not come in with a silver medal, and I didn't pick the runner up each and every season, but I gotta say, the odds are there. I mean...I should take these odds to Vegas or something. Or it just means that I have a nack for picking the Loser, and should stay away from all gambling what-so-ever. But either way, I conclude tonight knowing that I have lost my touch. Well...at least for this season.
And so, One of the Chris', your departure makes me oh-so-sad. So keep on with that sweet smile. And its just too bad that ABC just had you picked for a filler.
xoxo,
Kat
Dear ABC,
Can I please get sub-titles for Kasey?? For some reason, I cannot understand a single word that comes out of this guys mouth. I am just waiting to hear that he has a speech impediment, for which I will then be going to hell for, but until then...Kasey, if you and I crossed paths some day...We would need a translator. Can you help me out Chris Harrison?
