Confession and Confusion

I was listening to the radio today and I heard this one song "Baby" by Justin Bieber. At first I wasn't sure if the singer was a boy or a girl, but did figure out (Justin is usually a boys name!) that the singer was male. And he sounded young. Really young. I was curious and looked him up on youtube. Feel like taking a look at this young singer/boy who makes more money than you will ever hope to have??
You can thank me later:


Oh my, he is REALLY young. Is this kid like 10 years old or am I just incredibly ancient??? Well I started to make fun of this kid to Jeff, and to further expand my mocking to include his fan base of 10 - 16 year old girls when I suddenly realized.... Yes, he has PERFECTLY styled hair that doesn't seem to move. Yes, he is VERY YOUNG, practically a fetus. Yes, he appears to be "putting the moves" on a girl QUITE a bit older than him. And, yes, he has more money than I will ever hope to have even if I work three more jobs and give up sleep. But I can't make fun of him. And I cannot make fun of the crop of young girls who are cutting his picture out and posting it all over their walls (am I dating myself there? Do young girls do this anymore???).

Do you know WHY I cannot make fun of him?? Because THIS is what I had a crush on when I was about 14 years old:




Yes, that is Tom Keiffer, the lead singer from Cinderella singing the classic "Nobody's Fool". And you know what? I STILL have a crush on this man and I don't care that he is wearing suspenders and spandex with a long jacket and NO SHIRT. I don't care that he apparently is singing while rose petals sprinkle down from the heavens above. I don't care that he doesn't notice that his girlfriend LEFT HIM and apparently has no way to even CONTACT HIM and is forced to STALK HIM AT A CONCERT TO GET HIS ATTENTION AGAIN. And I don't care that this is a cheesy song because I watch it now and know that I still love this man and can even admit to owning a DVD filled with concert footage because Cinderella is AWESOME!

Oh, and if you ever want to find the band Cinderella on the web, it's NOT Cinderella dot com. THAT site is a porn site. Just a little FYI from me to you!
