I've stuck with Cruise through the thick and thin. I don't think he's a humanitarian, a phenomenal dude, the best actor ever or the second coming of, well, anybody. But here's the truth:
ReplyDelete-- He's a very good actor.
-- By all account he works hard at everything he does.
-- He's been part of some of the most memorable movies of my lifetime ("Top Gun," "A Few Good Men," etc.)
-- While I don't agree with his religion even remotely, I have a measure of respect for him because he has picked a religious system, stuck to it, defended it and not backed down because it's unpopular. In a very weird way, I'm proud of him.
Stobie prediction of myself in 15 years:
ReplyDelete-very gray hair... possibly white, like after Gandolf slew the balrog.
-not rich... I'll have been saving for approximately 12 years by then for about 15 years of college and 3 weddings. With inflation this is approx $3,000,000. (You may need to check that number with Netz)
