Easy For You, Hard For Me
Posted by Johnny
Last week I received an e-mail from a man that was introduced to my existence through an interview I did for HereTV! He lost his sight eight years ago and asked if I would describe myself to him. I’ve been stumped. It seems easy enough, but honestly I don’t know where to begin and that’s where you come in. I figure that my readers are the perfect candidates to put my image into words.
Tall, dark and handsome!
Hmm…That is a tough one. If he wants a physical description, in a very generic sense, I can say ruggedly handsome & boyishly charming blended together. Don’t forget to mention the ocean blue eyes & cutesy ears!
ChatATL: Tsk! Tsk! Our hero has brown eyes!
• Thick. dark, wavy hair.
• Fit, tone, body.
• Dark, smiling eyes with full lashes and expressive brows.
• Nose classically proportioned to complement shapely lips and perfect smile.
• Face charmed with smooth cheekbones and light beard.
Not being the best writer … I did my sincere best!

Kisses!
Oops! I knew that Rita & thanks for the correction. I was looking at a pic that must have altered him to have blue eyes and forgot. My bad! Would’ve thought there would be more comments to this post but I guess everyone is at a loss for words…
Good eye Rita! Chris must have seen a promo shot from Bolt. I had, as a joke and forgot about it when shooting, taken a blue contact and put it in one eye. No one noticed until after the shoot.
I would tell him:
A very young Richard Gere, with lots of tattoos.
Easy! Nothing could be tougher. How does a mere bystander come up with words that a) don’t offend you, b) capture your essence, and c) convey the really important facts to someone who’s lost his sight?
My stab at it is…
-elegant, chiseled face
-strong brown eyes that smile more often than the mouth does
-long, strong neck, muscles rising like branches from wide, sculpted shoulders and chest
-beautiful, strong hands, graceful in motion, completing elegantly tattooed arms
-smooth, powerful chest and abs, decorated with more elegant tattoos
-defined, graceful legs with big, clomping feet
I’ll leave your butt alone (that came out wrong, but I don’t know how to fix it, you know what I mean).
Anyway. It’s not an easy task! I think, rereading that description above, that it sounds fawning and drooly…what it would sound like coming from you, about yourself…!
Well, good luck with this one. I don’t envy you, for once.
Oh, and I forgot to add…are you working on a book? If not, why not? If so, when’s it coming out?
Well Oldfan…that was incredibly sweet and totally accurate
No plans for a book, although it’s not a bad idea.
If I had a dime for every time I heard that I looked like Richard Gere I’d be living a lot larger..
Good news about the book idea being “not bad!” I hope it’ll be a novel. So many stories to tell. Hey, why not, you’re in a place that’s not your first choice of residence and that means time to spend, as I recall.
Looks aren’t really that important, it’s what’s inside them that counts?
Dark brown hair parted down the middle or spiky on club nights with a scruffy beard, bushy brow and big ears like a Scottish farmboy. His smile is infectious, and his swagger is arousing. A compact package of muscle who is as sexy in button up shirts and jeans as in military gear or chaps. His tribal tattoos accentuate his perfect form. I’ve only seen his bulge through his pants, but couldn’t look away. He dances and I sweat.
He is charming yet down-to-earth. Bitchy yet neither intimidating nor uninviting. All of his friends consult him for advice because he just seems to always have a good answer.
He is a doctor, but he doesn’t do it for the money…no. He does it because he thinks that no one’s mother should die of cancer or aunt die of AIDS. He has no children of his own, but is a mentor to fatherless orphans. He is a rock star with billboard hits. An olympic marathon runner and extreme skier.
The Perfect Man
