Then on the other hand Mr. JR has a nephew that's getting married this year at 26 and I think that is terribly young! He's mature, degree in hand, fantastic job, hoping to buy a home but still - so young to be tied down!

Good luck to your nephew JR. You can be blessed and choose the right mate at 26 and if he has he will never fell tied down. :wave:

I can not read one more post here before I throw up!! I agree Mango. Really, who gives a toss!!!. I personally would pass 99% of "sports celebrites" and not even know who they where.
Why people and business owners really go crazy over celebs and there sightings amazes me. Why must so many people go into a feeding frenzy over a couple and some friends hanging out at the local. Can any one help with some insight. Maybe it just me??
Why must people feel compelled to brag about seeing and meeting celebrities??

I think I have one recent one to tell SOWAL since we are all in the mood. A young man by the name of Benjamin Lowy was a visiter to our area a few weeks ago. Ben Lowy is a conflict photographer for the New York Times Magazine and was here for 48 hours on a "happy assignment". I had no idea who I was talking to, just enjoyable conversations with a man I just happened to have struck up a conversation with. We exchanged thanks and hand shakes, and that was that. Upon return to my computer, I looked up his web site and his work. I was blown away from the images he has seen and captured for us and the world to see. His work provokes raw emotion. This is real life, the world we live now and the one our families inherit. This man along with so many others out there, risk everything!!! Why is there so much buzz about a over paid sportsman and manufactured pop product??? Look at this mans work and you be the judge of what media does for us and our culture.

I just started a thread about Ben Lowy in the Pictures and Videos forum- he deserves his own thread - thanks Roadroo!

will have to check out the ben lowry photog... at least something of value came of this thread.

however, I certainly think there is room in the lounge and in all forums for all kinds of topics. including silly celeb sitings in SoWal. it is interesting, that's for sure. no need to compare the topic to other more substantial or important ones, imo.

Considering that I get as excited about meeting new Sowallers and learning their real identity as I do about Jessica Simpson, I don't think we've lost all perspective yet!

Harmless fun IMO! :wave:
