Hot Smoothie Boy And The Mysterious Case Of Rod Stewart

so today while running around i decide to get a smoothie and the guy behind the counter is perhaps the hottest most beautiful creature ever. and not like pretty. more handsome. but not handsome. cause he's young and fresh. and handsome makes me think of old guys like brad pitt and eric bana who can both take me anyway they like. but anyway the boy is gorgeous. and i must have him. and i have to remind myself not to stare. and i've seen a few hot boys today and a few hot smoothie boys in general but this one is the hottest. i need him. but i know i can't have him and i may never see him again. and soon i may even forget him. but for a few fleeting seconds i know he's mine and im the only one that realizes how beautiful he is at this moment in time and he's the only man in the world for me. until of course i get home and start gawking at another hottie which leads us to our other tale.

while reading the comments on london preppy's latest post that features one of his music videos of the mundane i see someone mention rod stewart. well what's weird is a couple seconds later that song have you ever seen the rain pops into my head. i don't think of this song often but i do like it and its sad but that fits my current mood. so as i sing this song in my head im curious as to who's song it is. well i google the lyrics and guess who's the second name to pop up? rod fucking stewart. now here's the thing. the version in my head is sung by a woman. this however is odd since after looking the song up on wikipedia and then using that info to look it up on youtube i realized the version i heard was on the very first episode of cold case some five years ago and is sung by a man. i haven't seen that episode since then by the way. now weather or not i remember the song from then or somewhere else is unclear. the song is listed as playing on several different things on wiki and granted this list could be only a fraction of the times its been played but the only one i've seen is cold case. and the one on cold case was sung by creedence clearwater revival. not rod stewart. and i know creedence's version is the one i heard because after playing it on youtube i immediately recognize it and realize this is the version i was playing in my head but for some reason i thought the voice was a woman's but it wasn't. as for rod, i don't even recognize his inferior version. and to be quite honest i dont know much about him, i don't read about him, and i forget what he looks like most of the time. so how reading his name made me think of a song that he just so happened to have sung that i heard five years ago (or more recently, who knows) when i never heard his version and i didn't know he had a version freaks me out. any shrinks out there can tell me how the hell this all transpired? well anyway here are both versions. who's do you like better? let me know in the comments.

rod's


creedence's


good day and good fucks.
