Nice guys finish last. They do!

Having Netflix on Tv is both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because it's awesome and a curse because it's addicting! With that being said, I have been watching My So Called life. A show from the early 90's that I was not allowed to watch. With good reason. I was 11 when it came out. My parents were smart for restricting me from it. It's not for kids. I enjoy it now. Mostly because it makes me thank my lucky stars that the 90's are over and I'm out of high school. Besides the observation that I was too young to watch it when I was a kid I also noticed a few other things.

First: It was only on for one season. I swear I can remember it being talked about for years.

Second and most important: If I had been watching this show as a pre-teen or teen I would have been head over heels in love with the leading man Jared Leto who plays Jordan Catalono. He was everything I wanted as a young girl. He was mysterious and attractive. So dreamy! I wanted a bad boy, a rebel so badly.

Now here's the thing.. there is another male character who plays her neighbor Brian Krakow played by an actor named Devon Gummersall. If I had been watching this as a teenager I would have found him... annoying and probably boring. But, watching this now and seeing how in love with Angela (Claire Daines) I think he is so endearing and I find myself rooting for him. I keep thinking he's the kind of guy I want. He's smart, cute, kind and loyal. His hair in the show needs a lot of help, a whole lot. But, it was the 90's so I won't hold it against him. My curiosity of him did get the best of me so I looked him up on imbd and realized I made the right choice. He's incredibly handsome.

I was just thinking about how if I hadn't spent so much time fawning over the bad boys I might have spent more time actually being with the good ones. And I also wanted to think about all those "Brian Krakows" out there who think all us girls want are the bad boys. I can assure you, we all grew out of that phase!

Isn't he soo dreamy?!
I'll be honest, I searched for the worst picture of him I could find because really he's still HOT! He's just not marriage material ;)
See ladies, we might have looked past him in high school.....
but look at him now! I mean, this is the face of a man I would love to take home to meet my parents!
