OMG he IS a Disney Prince

WTF man?!?!  I hate adorable people.  And by hate, I mean I adore them and wish to be their friend.  So I've seen on the internet where this particular celebrity is said to be a "real life Disney prince" and while I can see it by looks, I've never really watched interviews or anything like that with him.

Last night I watch one and seriously, ADORABLE!.  Is it weird to call a 30+ year old adorable?  I mean he is literally like two months older than me, almost to the day.  Well toooooooo bad because that is the only word I see befitting.  If you haven't guessed this person is Tom Hiddleston and the interview I watched was the Daily Show with Trevor Noah.

Anyways, I think I died laughing at one point...or at least stopped breathing properly because I was giggling....same thing.  Trevor said something about how Mr. Cumberbatch's fans call themselves "Cumberb**ches" *giggle* and that Mr. Hiddleston's fans call themselves "Hiddlestoners" *whaaaaaa*.  I've not heard that one.  So Tom says something about that being rather violent and I'm like "I've never met a violent STONER, what are you talking about!??!?!"  Apparently Trevor felt the same way.  And our wanna be Prince explained he thought of "stoning" like the ancient way you show you disapprove of and want to punish someone...by throwing STONES*baaaaahahahahahahahaha* *snort*.

The host said he was thinking more like *imitates smoking a joint* and then we get the famous Hiddle-giggleAhhhhhhhhhhhh stop being adorkable!!!  Who thinks of being "stoned" as the ancient punishment!?!?!?  I am not a stoner and my first thought was toking it up.

Dawwwwww, that's so adorable, stahp!  Anyways there was this whole "he plays Loki" thing at the beginning and the crowd cheered.  Trevor is like no he's the bad guy! And his guest is like "well he is misunderstood" *ahhhhhh, hehehe*.  Then there is discussion about Crimson Peak (eeeeeeee, can't wait, I love scary movies!!!) and good lord he speaks so proper...I am so used to bastardized American Speak...what sorcery is this?!?  And I wasn't sure about him playing Hank Williams but his "Southern" accent was actually adorable or maybe I am blinded by his politeness....  How many times can I call a grown man adorable before it is weird???  He did drop one not quite as proper remark.  I don't remember the context but it was something about "getting high on that $hit *bleep*" which made me giggle again. 

So yea, I totally fangirled through the whole interview.  Anyone else do the same?  No...just me...well *plfeet*!

You don't have to agree with someone100% to think they are amazing

This isn't about anything crazy or deep.  Just that last night I watched the last Daily Show with Jon Stewart...and cried my eyes out at the end!  He has been my nightly "news" person for the last SIXTEEN years!!!  That's a long time to watch the same show most nights before bed.  Did I miss it sometimes?  Of course but I watched it more often than not.  I even watched it when I was with my Ex who HATED the show saying it was an insult to intelligent people or something like that. 

I should also mention I was heartbroken when Colbert signed off as well.  I watched both of those shows for so long.  Its been hard to adjust to not seeing Colbert on my TV anymore...now I have to adjust to both being gone, albeit Colbert is coming back on The Late Show

My point is you don't have to agree with him or even like him to appreciate his wit, his intelligence, his opinion.  He wasn't opposed to saying controversial things...bringing to light the idiotic things that "normal" news reporters would never say.  It's called SATIRE people...quit being so sensitive!  No one was safe and it was HILARIOUS! It did make you think though...think passed all the BS that was beat into our heads everyday. 

If you had half a brain you could understand what he was saying and not take offense, because what he said was usually spot on (you do know he had writers also...right?!?!).  I hate politics, I hate politicians, and I hate political news correspondence.  But when you have someone dissect it in a comedic way, it helps me not want to stab my eyes out.  Yes I watch "real" (I use that term lightly) news but I liked his take on it better. He clearly was doing something right...he was on the air for 16 years...16 years!!!  People obviously liked his way of dissecting the world. 

With that said I posted on different Social Media last night that I was sad it was the last show with him.  And the responses I got back in private messages were astounding.  If you have to call me names in a PM instead of publicly you are a coward.  Just because I enjoyed his show doesn't make me Unpatriotic, a Baby Killer Supporter (WTF really?!?), Reverse Racist (I don't even get that one), Ignorant (I don't think I am the ignorant one here), etc.  Thankfully there were only a few.  I did get one public response saying "Good!" which that's fine...if you don't like him, that is fine but why the other bull$hit?!?!  The rest were positive (and public), agreeing that he will be missed. 

I go online everyday and see things I think are awful from some of my "friends"...things I don't necessarily agree with but I am not going to bully them in PM.  If I feel the need to say something I will but I refuse to attack people.  Everyone is entitled to an opinion.  Do I now think some are bigots or racist or uninformed...yes...but most of the ones that post that crap publicly are in fact ignorant and you can't argue with stupid so when it gets out of hand, I ignore them and move on. 

That is all...and yes I just about sobbed when he said:

"This show isn't ending. We're merely taking a small pause in the conversation. A conversation which, by the way, I have hogged … So rather than saying goodbye, or goodnight, I'm just going to say: I'm going to get a drink, and I'm sure I'll see you guys before I leave. So here it is – my moment of zen."
