Arrrrgg Men!

Due to illnesss and work load, Coo Coo has been busy. No one is immune from the flu/bronchitis. However, we were compelled to speak out on a very important matter. No, not the primary results but tonight's "Life of Ryan" episode. Ryan has been bitching about finding a girlfriend for 2 years. He finally finds one and Kayla seems like a sweet girl (we finally got over the bleached blonde hair and heavy eyeliner). But tonight, Ryan turns 18 and suddenly has no time for a girlfriend. Admittedly, he probably doesn't as he is busy with his career and friends and so on. However, we really believed in his quest for love and he just came across as such a ...... a.......man tonight. ARRGG! Kayla just bought him a $250 dollar Gucci wallet for Christmas (did Ryan google the price or did Kayla leave the price tag on?), wanted to meet his dad, and helped plan his surprise birthday party. Okay, maybe our gal came on a bit strong with all the talk about feelings and insisting on meeting the parents, but still, she was such a nice girl and really liked him. It made us want to throw a book at Ryan's Redbull clad head (enough with product placement by the way, it's just becoming too in your face). So Coo Coo Bananas is now on team Kayla. We encourage her to engage in other girl relationship cliches now that they have broken up. Cut your hair short! Eat a pint of ice cream! Call Ryan's home phone and hang up! Throw cans of Red Bull in Ryan's yard! Start dating Tony! Girl power!

Age Inappropriate Crushes

I think now and then everyone gets them. It of course isn't so bad if you are 21 and like a 17 year old celebrity but it veers into uncomfortable territory the older you get. These crushes can vary between just wanting to hang out with the person to saying "If I was that age, I would date so and so" to the downright creepy love/lust that border on pedophile alert (I'm talking to you Hayden Panettiere fans). I will say right now my age inappropriate crushes are probably more the "If I were younger..." variety. With that, I present you with my age inappropriate crush, Ryan Sheckler. Ryan stars on the show "Life of Ryan" on MTV and he's a professional skate boarder. The kid is really down to earth for someone so famous and he seems like a genuinely nice and responsible 17 year old. Which is downright refreshing to see on a network like MTV.

Pros:

-He can afford to buy his own house at 17 (but ended up not to spend time with his brothers).

-He seems genuinely kind and considerate.

-He is loyal to his friends.

-He is family oriented. Much of his show revolves around Ryan trying to be there for his little brothers and his divorced parents.

-He doesn't want to date women who are only interested in him b/c he's famous.

-He's very driven and talented at what he does.

-He has a new shorter haircut that is quite fetching.

-Skate boarders are cool.

-He cries on national television without shame.

Cons:

-He has a penchant for cheap looking blondes who have just broken up with their boyfriends.

-He wears really big diamond studs on his ears.
