Expectations Vs Reality

It's always the same, isn't it, especially during the holiday season. You build up expectations in your head about how it will be and then the cold reality of 'how it really is' slaps you in the face. Sigh

Movie magic really is a hell of a thing. They can take an average looking actor and turn him into a 7 foot tall monster, or a midget with hairy feet. Also they can take Chuck Norris and make him look like, well, Chuck Norris. Amazing.

Yes! Go grandpa, just because he's a tenth of your age does not mean you don't put that mofo to the floor, sport's sport, there's no fair play, just winners and losers, and who do you want to be? That's right, winners! ROFL.

This is the work of Rolling Stone photographer Mark Seliger. He makes unique portraits of celebrities that are intimate, sensual and incredibly stylish. These masterpieces (little bit NSFW) include Gwyneth Paltrow, Leonardo DiCaprio and Heidi Klum.

While nature tries to destroy us and man tries to kill his fellow man, it's good to know that beauty pageants still exist to balance things out. At least i have figured one thing from this, i'd rather be in Carolina than Idaho :)
