Confessions
Sometimes the hardest part of the posting process for me is coming up with a title. Once I figure that out, the rest of the post is just random rambling based on what I chose to title it. For this post, I thought I would tell you a little more about myself. I’m from a small town called Ottawa, Ohio, the county seat of Putnam County. It’s got a Wal-Mart, a bowling alley, some fast food restaurants and area businesses, the county court house, ummm…that Wal-Mart’s a Super-Center, just so you know…but most importantly it’s a community full of honest, friendly people. This weekend, I’m headin’ back that way for a massive pond party at the residence of one of my high school friends. It should be a lot of fun catching up with people that I haven’t seen in quite a while. This is boring, isn’t it. Well, prepare yourself. Because I am about to drop a bombshell. I want to reveal this to everyone before you start hearing rumors. I, James Tobe, your beloved blogger, avid heterosexual man and shining beacon of masculinity, lover to some and Ottawa’s native son…..watch the O.C. Yes, that’s right, I’m a fan of what some refer to as a prime-time soap opera on Fox. Some of you have probably stopped reading this already in disgust. At first, I tried to tell myself I was only watching because Rachel Bilson and Mischa Barton were attractive, but before I knew it, without warning, I found myself genuinely caring about what happened to the characters. Seth, Ryan, Sandy, these should just be random names to a male college student, but they’re not to me, not anymore. I’m ashamed, I’m embarrassed, and if you don’t want to make eye contact with me for awhile, I would understand. Sometimes, I try to do some manly things as a sort of penance for this guilty pleasure, like lifting some weights, getting a pedicure, or writing in my diary. At least I like sports. Time to get some sleep so I can face the media backlash and the public outcry in the morning. Later you crazy kids.

Oh Jim…that was very brave of you to confess. There was a time in my life (7th grade) when my favorite show was Baywatch. Unlike most people (men) who watched it for the babes n’ boobs, I watched it for it’s entertainment content (which I now realize had no entertainment content). Though I cannot understand why anyone would want to watch a show with all of that high drama, I do feel your shame. Don’t worry – I’ll still be your friend.
I feel just as bad about being sucked in by Hell’s Kitchen. And various cartoons/anime. Hey, stop laughing! Button It!
Don’t worry Jaymz. Peter Gallagher’s eyebrows are mesmerizing for everyone…they’re just not man enough to admit it. Now c’mon and lets have a few bagels in the Cohen’s kitchen.
You gigantic homo.
With that said….. isn’t it great that Julie and Jimmy are back together!! Oh, and it was so cool how Marissa protected Ryan last week when she blew Trey away! And let’s hear it for Kirsten, it takes guts to go to rehab. …….*sigh*
