Sorry, he's really sexy!!!!!!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Radcliffe

Daniel Jacob Radcliffe was born on July 23, 1989 in London, England. He will forever be known as Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived.

Early life.
He was the only child born to Alan George Radcliffe, a literary agent and Marcia Jeannine Gresham, a casting agent. At age 10, he made his acting debut on BBC One's 2 part TV movie David Copperfield. When the first Harry Potter movie was released, the actor said attending school was hard, because classmates became hostile. He recieved education through on-set tutors.

Career
In 2000, author J.K. Rowling published her series of books, called Harry Potter, which is about a boy wizard named Harry Potter. And one day, producer David Heyman decided to make them into movies. The hardest part would be trying to find a relatively unknown British actor for this role. The director of the movies, Chris Columbus, happened to be watching David's first acting role on TV and that's how he decided that Radcliffe was perfect for it. In 2001, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone(as it's called in England) debuted. In the US, it went by Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Basically the movie follows boy wizard Harry Potter as he begins his magical education at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. When it got to the movie for the 3rd book, the Prisoner of Azkaban, that's when the movies started getting darker and alot less kid friendly. The 4th one, the Goblet of Fire, was definitely not kid friendly, because in the movie someone dies. On the last day of shooting the final film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, pt. II, everyone, including Radcliffe himself, openly cried. At the 2010 MTV Movie Awards, Radcliffe won the award for Best Male Performance and Global Superstar.

Other acting work
After Harry Potter, he started doing other things. Like the movie December Boys, made in 2007. This movie is about 4 Australian orphans. At age 17, to prove he wasn't a kid anymore he starred in the Peter Shaffer play Equus. The first time this play went ahead was back in 1973. He took on the lead role of Alan Strang, a stable boy with an obsession with horses. The play made a lot of money and also Radcliffe had to appear in a scene completely nude. Lately, he starred in a 2011 Broadway play How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, where he played J. Pierrepont Finch.

Wow, he has a nice chest!!!!!!!!!!

Personal life
In 2009, he started speaking out against homophobia by filming public service announcements for The Trevor Project, which promotes awareness of gay teen suicide.

Dream jobs

Oh yeah! Dream Jobs! I know everyone out there in the blogosphere has that dream job that they dream of landing! For me, dream jobs consist of:

1. Tattoo Artist
2. Writer
3. Bartender
4. Jewelry Maker
5. Dancer
6. CD Cover Designer
7. Graphic Designer
8. World Traveler
9. Photographer
10. Teacher
11. Artist
12. Business owner

Those are just some of the dream jobs I have. It doesn't go in any certain order or anything, just listing ones I like. Tattoo Artist would be a cool job because if you really think about it, tattoos almost tell a story. A writer, definitely cool. I'm creative in that sense, I love to write short stories, I've never published them or anything, I usually just write short stories because they're fun and I guess I have an overactive imagination, which for the field I'm in definitely is not bad. Bartender would be cool because you can entertain while serving patrons really awesome drinks. Photography has always been an avid fascination of mine, so if I couldn't find a job as a Graphic Designer, Photography, baby! I love taking picures, I'm a massive picture hoarder basically, I have a lot of pictures of family that I love putting in scrapbooks and stuff. Traveling allows you to explore the vast lands of our world and explore rich, indulgent cultures, and explore new lands. And if I were to open a business, it would be a retro/vintage store, the 1960s and 1970s and 1980s are making a comeback and they are finding a new generation with the younger crowds. Younger people nowadays are beginning to discover bands like The Grateful Dead, Aerosmith, The Beatles, The Doors, The Rolling Stones, etc. Younger people are beginning to discover the treasures of the 1960s, 70s, 80s, etc, at least I call them treasures, not sure what everyone else may call them. But I'm kind of a dreamer I guess, and there is alot of stuff I"d looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove to do in this short little lifetime of mine, I mean, no one lives forever, so during my time here on Earth I'd love to accomplish everything I can. Live life to the fullest is one of my many mottos.

Not too long ago, on Facebook, someone put a 30 day photo challenge thing on there and this person had everyone putting 15 facts about themselves on it, well here's 15 facts about myself for those who read this:

1. My mom's convinced I'm a reincarnated hippie
2. The Rolling Stones and The Beatles are my 2 fave 60s British rock bands
3. In my eyes, Mick Jagger is the sexiest man alive to come out of England! And if I were his exact age, I'd marry him in a heartbeat if he asked! Sorry, but for being 67 years old, he sure does have a sexy body still!!!!!
4. I, for some reason that's still unknown to me, find Asian, Italian and English men totally sexy!!!
5. I have a stepdad named Greg, a mom named Brenda, a dad named Steve and a sis named Jessie
6. In my spare time, I love to read. If I don't have a book to read or something to read, I lose my marbles and go nuts from boredom!
7. I'm a huge art nut. I love art of all sorts
8. Someday, I would love to live in 1 of 5 places: England, China, Italy, Japan, Australia

16. I want to go to a concert before I die for someone I actually listen to!
17. I'm a huge fan of flip flops
18. If you were to try and find me in the town of Bellevue, Ky, where I live, you would most likely find me at home either A. cleaning the house with the windows open and see me jamming out to The Rolling Stones singing right along with Mick Jagger, B. sitting on the front porch reading a book about The Beatles that I own or C. Sitting on the front porch reading a book about The Rolling Stones.
19. I can be very chatty at times and other times, be just downright silent as the grave. It's because I'm a rather shy person and don't like talking much.

Sad, Sad Losses

Have you ever noticed that alot of people have been passing away recently? Oe maybe not recently, maybe a long time ago and people may not get ovet the loss of them? Well, I've noticed alot of people, whether it be historical figures, people in the entertainment industry or others, have had some pass away unexpectedly, or from other reasons. Here are some of those people.......

Ritchie Valens. May 13, 1941-February 3, 1959. He was the first ever noted Latino rocker. He was the one behind was is known as Chicano rock, meaning rock music performed by American people of Mexican ancestry. It's so sad that Ritchie died in a plane crash, but that cold night, he wasn't the only one to die, The Big Bopper and Buddy Holly also died that cold night. They all died on February 2, 1959, Ritchie was the youngest to die, at 17 years old. Their passing is what inspired folk singer Don McLean's 1971 hit American Pie. and now forever February 3 will be known as the day music died.



John Lennon. October 9, 1940-December 8, 1980. For all who listen to The Beatles, he was the one who was sometimes called a troublemaker by some, but ended up being a very loving person. He was the one who married the artist Yoko Ono and they had a son from Lennon's previous marriage to Cynthia, named Julian. For some reason, some might say he had a thing for Asian women because he dated May Pang, who was an assistant for ABKCO records. But there was no reason for John Lennon to die. On Dec. 8, 1980, he was brutally and fatally shot in the head 4 times outside his apartment in New York, by a crazed gunman named Mark David Chapman. Sadly, he was already dead before he hit the ground. The man behind his murder will be lucky if he ever gets out. I look up to John Lennon because he wasn't afraid to be himself, and he believed in giving peace a chance. I say, right on John! Yeah, give peace a chance!



Princess Diana. July 1, 1961-August 31, 1997. It's so sad that this beautiful woman is gone. Her wedding to Prince Charles actually made news headlines and everyone tuned in to watch this beautful woman walk down the aisle with her beautiful dress. It was so nice to see someone as pretty as her getting married. You want to know something sort of strange? One of her sons, William, recently got married too, to a beautiful woman named Kate Middleton. She's a beautiful woman, it's so nice to see someone getting married and not having it look so dramatic, what I mean by this is when celebs get marrie over here, it's such a big deal. But when people heard about the marriage of this man and this woman, it was big news in England and it was refreshing to hear about 2 good souls spending time together like this. I bet it must have been hard for both of Diana's sons, William and Harry, to be there at their mother's funeral. It's always hard for a child to be at their paren't funeral. But she's free of any pain or suffering, she's up in the beautiful land above, being the beautiful soul she always was. The saddest thing is that she died in a car crash, and you want to know why the crash happened? Princess Diana was trying to escape the nutso paparazzi, I swear, those jackasses always do whatever they can to terrorize someone, and now the world lost a beautful woman to these, pardon my French, assholes! That's what paparazzi are, assholes!

         

Jim Croce. January 10, 1943-September 20, 1973. This folk singer was 30 years old when he died and best known for hits like time in a Bottle and Bad, Bad Leroy Brown. Him, musician Maury Muehleisen and 4 others died in a plane crash that happened on Sept. 20, 1973. After finishing a concert at Northwestern State University's Prather Coliseum in Natchitoches Louisiana, the crew was flying to Austin Texas for a concert, when despite good visibility, the plane did not gain enough altitude to clear a pecan tree near the runway and the plane crashed, killing all 3 on impact
.


John Denver. December 31, 1943-Oct. 12, 1997. He was a country singer, and an avid pilot and photographer. He was most popular in the 1970s, and when he was flying his Rutan Long EZ plane, it crashed in to the Pacific Ocean, taking him with it and taking one of the best known country singers with it, despite having over 2700 hours of flying experience.



Martin Luther King Jr. January 5, 1929- April 4, 1968. This man was best known for his "I Have a Dream" speech in Washington D.C. This speech talked about uniting everyone together and about a world where skin color, race, religion, sexuality, etc didn't matter and about everyone coming together as one, which is a lyric from the song Imagine by John Lennon. Martin Luther King Jr was a nonviolent man, using the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi to spread the word about coming together as one, and he fought ever so desperately to end racial segregation and racial discrimination through civil means. He was staying in room 306 at the Lorraine Motel when he was standing on the balcony and he was shot. Nowadays, you can visit the motel where he was killed, but you can visit it today and see how the room looked before his murder. There was a man convicted of his death, James Earl Ray, he was charged and found guilty of his murder.



The reason I did a blog about those who have passed is we should never forget those who passed. Sometimes people take life for granted and before they know it, someone they love very dearly is passed away and they don't know it. We should live every day like it's our last and we should cherish the precious gift called life.
