Tommy Bowe wins an award, the sky is blue.

Congratulations to Tommy Bowe for winning the Irish rugby writers award (could they not have come up with an abbreviation?). Another award for the mantle piece. But let's be honest with ourselves, are any of us surprised? Pleased, yes, surprised, no!

...

Okay, so I kind of have a confession to make and its a little weird but I knew if anyone would understand it would be our dear readers. So, uhhhh, how would I say this without sounding completely crazy???

hm.

You know how Tommy Bowe is a babe, a TKO; on a scale from 1 to 10, he's an eleven, well, I can't believe I'm about to immortalize this buuut Tommy Bowe has a hot dad! There I said it! Tommy's dad, is a DILF. And I'm going to end my creepiness right there and not post a picture. If you really want to know what his dad looks like, I'm sure you can google it but description wise, he looks like a brunette Tommy Bowe who's a 1970s news anchor.

God, I'm such a creeper, time to re-evaluate my life, lol.

At least we know where he gets it from, right?

ahem

Second Hand Embarrassment Alert!

I get it. Okay. I totally get it. When you fancy someone 'real' or famous or when you're a fan of something or someone, its only natural that you would want to know as much as you can about that person/thing. Myself, I love sharks! I think they're amazing, and pretty much every chance I get I watch that Planet Earth clip where the shark merks that seal or I troll on National Geographic's website for any new shark material. I know that's a really dorky example but I'm sure we can all relate. Honestly, how many guys do you know, know the stats of a certain athlete, and what he eats for breakfast or how much he can bench press. So to a certain extent we all participate in one or many fandoms.

However, with my various fandoms, I am never all that serious about them. As in my room is not wall papered with Rick Nash's face (no, I'm not lying I swear), I have never actually written any fanmail to anyone (I did tweet Alun Wyn Jones once...he didn't respond), my fandoms remain for the most part, superficial, internet, banter. And I have fun with it and some of you have fun with it, because what's better than coming home after a 9 hour shift and looking at pictures of Jordon Staal's silky blonde hair? Nothing, right?

But I would never, EVER be so bold, so brazen, so shameless, to ask Brian O'Driscoll if Tommy Bowe is single:

Okay I admit, my screen capping of this might be a tad creepy, but its in the spirit of transparency and exposing the ridiculousness of people, so I think I get a pass. He must have got a lot of 'is Tommy Bowe single' questions, if he addressed this. Personally, I wouldn't have said anything, amateur move O'Driscoll, but I am so embarrassed for whoever asked, because why? What difference does it make? Why invade his personal life that much? WHY?

Some of you might be thinking 'but Nicole this blog, isn't it about crazy fandoms', yes , yes it is but its all in good fun, its nothing serious, I have a life beyond the short shorts and skin tight underarmour that is popular on this blog. Contrary to popular belief, I have no illusions! I know I won't ever get to take Tom Croft shopping and make him buy a Tom Ford suit. I know I won't ever get to convince Sidney Crosby to stop having his mum cut his hair. If they have girlfriends that's cool and I can admit there would be a curiosity to see who she is but I would never actively search for it nor ask one of their teammates who she is, if he's single, what his credit score is, etc.

I'm so embarrassed for them. Do they not realize that BOD now thinks they're psychos? Did it never occur to them that over dinner BOD with is iphone (or whatever he uses) will lean over and say to Tommy Bowe: "Dude check out this psycho tweet this chick sent me about you. Restraining order dude, restraining order" clearly not in those words, because those are not their colloquialisms, but you get it.

What I really want to know is, where's the shame? Or am I the only one who thinks this is totally offside and creepy?

They haunt the streets with their eyes full of hunger

WTF???????????



What's up with the media being all creepy?

I get it, Sidney Crosby is the messiah, he's here to save hockey and change the way the game is played, he's a legend in the making, etc. etc. But the poor boy deserves some privacy! I know he's a public figure et al. but when you're taking recognizance-type photos of his Cole Harbour home, I think you've lost it!I'm not going to post the photo or give you a link to its image because frankly, I'm not going to encourage that kind of [psychotic] behavoir.

I know what you're thinking, there's the kettle calling the pot black but srsly my fangirling is done facetiously! And if you can't detect that well then you're kind of an idiot! I know that I'm never going to meet any of these people, I don't have stake in their lives nor do they have a stake in mine. I'm not going to dig deeper into their lives, whatever I see on television and in the newspapers, and some of the stuff I read on various blogs/websites (with a certain amount of discretion of course) is all I need to know about them. AND I'm definitely not going to stalk, and or take photos of their homes. I may muse about how curly their hair is, or disapprove of their footwear but there is a line that I just won't cross. And, yes, posting photos of a girl he may or may not have dated is definitely crossing that line, ladies!!!!!!

Ugh this is one of the main reasons I didn't want to jump on this train...


End Scene


On a side note: His home is exactly what I expected it to be AKA nouveau...and that's where my creepiness ends.
