Ignorance is Bliss?

I'm gonna say yes and here's why. Until recently, I knew DSG for his work as a pseudo-correspondent. The fact that he got to sit across a desk from Jon Stewart on occasion was impressive enough. This is what ignited my crush. At his prodding, I googled some of his other work and I was mildly impressed.

Then yesterday, I asked him what he was working on. I usually don't ask this question because I feel a bit sheepish, as if I'm fawning or awestruck by his acting career. He told me about the show he was on and registered mild annoyance that I wasn't aware of the reason he was working out of LA until March. This is interesting. Indulge me momentarily as I examine the latest salvo in our battle of the wits.

I have been accused of coming at him like a MACK truck with my crush. Of campaigning to become his romantic interest in an obvious, almost pathetic way. Given these allegations doesn't it behoove me NOT to go searching for other reasons to be interested? He suggested that I log in and watch the TV show and I told him that I didn't want to be starstruck. "It's not about being starstruck, it's about taking an interest in what I'm working on," he said. This makes sense to me because I know I got really upset when close friends I had initially told about my blog weren't reading it. I also get riled up when my story airs and no one cares. But still.

So last night I watched two episodes he was in. He's really a good actor. I can't elaborate because I might leave too many breadcrumbs that will lead you to his identity. But suffice to say, he's got some talent. However, that's no reason for him to feel superior or for me to feel inferior because what he doesn't have is a nice rack. That's all me.
