Obviously, I gave it a few days before making another entry. I did think about it. I have been a lousy blogger in the past few years, as compared to my "golden age" of blogging more than five years ago. At that time I had so much to say. I'd write about anything. So many thoughts. Maybe it was because I was younger and less jaded.
But I guess I just got tired of blogging because, really, I found that I was still writing about the same old things. Like finding love and the entire crap that comes with it!!!
Well, one of the things I enjoyed about blogging before was that writing gave me the chance to play with humor. See, I can be funny, BUT --- I can be too serious too. I guess that's what attracted me to Jason Segel in the first place; so far, he's played characters I fully understand. Funny, charming, a bit of a dork, potential loser, but really substantial deep down. And I can assure you, even though I know that he is a good actor, there is a significant amount of the real Jason Segel in those characters. I kinda have a theory, but this is something I am keeping to myself. To give you a clue, he wrote Forgetting Sarah Marshall. There you go.
And like I mentioned before, this infatuation with Jason Segel is pretty recent. As in, say, like, two weeks ago. Or the week before the week before. You know. That week HBO was airing I Love You Man, like THREE FUCKING TIMES A DAY.
To narrate in the voice of That-Older-Ted in How I Met Your Mother, I was having a pretty lousy week. October was turning out to be a pretty awful month, career-wise. So I got into doing this shitty projects that particular week. So as I was getting my shit together (which is still a big FAIL at this point), I decided to go on isolation and just worked. The thing is, you can't solve a shitty situation with a shitty solution, right, but desperate conditions call for drastic measures.
So in order for me to breathe from the stink (man, was I feeling really screwed that week), I turned on the television. And there it was. I saw I Love You, Man Monday. And then Tuesday morning, Tuesday evening. Wednesday afternoon. And so on.
See, every time I saw I Love You, Man on HBO that week I dropped everything I was doing and watched it. To be honest, I don't think I ever saw it in its entirety in one sitting, but still, I saw it more than five times in five straight days.
And yeah, I thought Jason Segel was adorable in the movie. I like his comedy. But see, I like other people's approach to humor as well, and I don't go around setting up blogs scheming-schmanning some off proposal. I mean, like Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller. And Steve Carrell. And the Monty Python guys. You know.
And to be honest, I've had celebrity crushes before who are waay gorgeous than Jason Segel. Michael Vartan. And Alexander Skarsgard. Seriously!
If anything, it's like a movie.
Jason Segel reminded me of someone. I usually associate him with the character Marshall and didn't even know his name was Jason Segel. And I don't even watch How I Met Your Mother that regularly. But I knew Marshall and this person who kinda reminded me of Marshall who was (is) important to me. Eventually, I was watching Sarah Marshall and a bit of How I Met Your Mother, and I did not want to eat my head. As time does heal, I stopped seeing that other person in Jason Segel, and started seeing Jason Segel. And it was in that movie where he looked the slobbiest of all, in all his Bromance glory that I realized, "Yeah, hit it Steve Dunne, whatdidyasay again re: Linda Powell? Oh right. If I had a conversation with God I would ask him to create this girl. This guy. Right on, rock n' roll."
See? Like a movie.
Anyway. To be honest I am a bit stumped at this point as to the "outline" of this blog. But I did think of, say, an episode to keep this thing going. As I love Top Chef and I love to cook, so --- I will post dishes I personally created which are inspired by the characters played by Jason Segel. I think by next week I would already concoct something.
I have some chicken breast fillets in the freezer.
