December 18, 2007 - Obsessions
I am talking about obsessions today, and I have a confession. Outside of Solitaire on my phone and text messaging Tyler (by far my favorite and satisfying obsession;), my current Obsession/TV Crush is a meteorologist. I've actually always had a flirtation with meteorology in general, back to when I was a kid and wanted to grow up to be one. One of my earliest childhood TV memories was the big crush that my mother had on Bob "Swoop" McClain of Channel 6 news in Indianapolis, and I guess I just got the bug from watching him (though I never had the crush). I remember that my mother about passed out when she saw Bob, holding his child, waving to the Fair Train on the way to the State Fair. Oddly enough, it was the same Bob McClain that was one of the first people I recognized when I started to go to gay bars in 1996. I always keep that news close to me in case I even need to shock the hell out of my mother. Saving it for a rainy day, if you will.
Anyway, with all apologies to Tyler, I am currently obsessed with Jeff Ranieri of NBC
Weather+. Every morning when I am watching Meredith and Matt on the Today show, I'm hoping against hope that Al Roker is off for his thousandth vacation day so that Jeff will take over, or (god help me) there is some sort of weather disaster to send him out in the field. He's been covering the winter storms in the northeast the past couple days, and I have to say that he looks so cute in his red jacket and furry hood.
I remember the first time I saw him on the Today show, and I said to myself, "Good Lord, he's gorgeous!" Of course, I usually am getting ready for work when the Today show is on, so I had other things on my mind, but when I saw him recently, I don't
know. My psycho stalker gene just clicked on, and I wanted to write a blog about it. I was pretty unsuccessful finding any good pictures of him outside of a screen capture site that was rude enough to not allow for downloads, but then I googled the magic words, "Jeff Ranieri HOT" and up popped the motherload, his MySpace Page, blissfully not locked down. Yippee! Merry Christmas to me!
Now, I do not want to make suppositions, but with evidence from his Weatherplus.com profile and MySpace page, I think Jeff may actually indeed be a Friend of Dorothy.
When he is on TV, he gives off that metrosexual vibe, that is sometimes hard to pinpoint. However, the songs playing on his MySpace page are of the Paul Van Dyk (very famous club DJ) and Fergie variety, he has many pictures with equally attractive gentlemen - sometimes even with man purses, he has cute, gay hair (evidence - picture), his favorite weather phenomenon is the DOUBLE Rainbow, and his favorite karaoke song is "Islands in the Stream." I'm sorry, but any reference to Dolly Parton by a young, attractive man is a dead giveaway. Also, he is MySpace friends with more than one Drag Queen, and in the behind the scenes video below from the Today show, the fans who stand outside make him an honorary Teletubby (alas, not Tinkie Winkie). I think the case is closed.
Here is another video of him getting ready to go on camera - make up time!
So anyway, gay or not, he is my current TV crush. The intelligence and looks combined with the fact that he is a bit of a dork (a MAJOR weakness for me) makes him a pretty irresistible TV presence.
Do you have any current obsessions?
