What's Up With Watson

Yo Rocky!

  Do you know anyone who looks like a celebrity? You know, that person, who, at first glance instantly reminds you of someone, you just can't figure out who.  All of a sudden, it hits you and you blurt out... "you know who you remind me of??!!...(enter celebrity name here)!"

 You gotta wonder what THAT person is thinking.  Depending on the celebrity... it could make or break their day Embarrassed

 I had the pleasure of interviewing Mike Kunda yesterday.  He is the Cumberland County man who won the Rocky Look-Alike contest in Philadelphia earlier this month.   He really DOES resemble a young Rocky.  But, in his words, just about any guy of Italian decent with a curled up lip, can do a mean Rocky impersonation. 

  Which brings me to my next point... What is it about some movie characters that makes them American Icons? What is it about ROCKY BALBOA that makes millions want to run the Art Museum steps and throw up their arms in victory?  Kunda says it's the underdog story...the winning against all odds.... the thrill of conquering your greatest challenge.

   Wouldn't it be great if we could command great soundtrack music to instantly start playing when we embark on a new adventure??  I often think, with the Rocky theme song behind me... I can do anything.

   So, if I could send one message to Sylvester Stallone.... it would be... "don't mess this one up."  The new Rocky movie hitting theatres in December better be the best so far.  Because Rocky Balboa fighting his heart out in 1976.... deserves to go out in style.

You could always hire Survivor to follow you around all day and sing "Eye of the Tiger", ala the Starbucks commercial from a few years ago.  I can hear it now... "Ang! Ang, Ang, Ang!"

I was at Maggie Moo's (for the 100th time this summer) and a worker there said I look like Julia Stiles.  I actually get that a lot (a lot as in more than 10 times) Of course, after a couple more visits for ice cream, I might be looking like someone else!  Arghhh....
