Costner blogging

"This is as close to my personality as I ever get, playing live," Costner said."When I'm making a movie I'm playing whoever I'm playing. But my personality comes out on stage when I play live. That's when you see me the clearest." (Kevin Costner 2008)

I love that quote, which I just stumbled across. I like it mostly because I was impressed with the Kevin I saw on stage.... it's nice to hear him claim that this is the REAL Kevin.

Speaking of Kevin....Little did I know that Blogging about Kevin Costner could be almost as exciting as blogging about Garth Brooks, but luckily in a good way. For those that don't know, or don't remember, I made THE HUGE mistake of voicing a complaint about Garth Brooks on my blog. Just me, making my little comments known to the 5 other family members who read my blog right??? NOOO I was reminded the hard way that the blogging is a public forum and your words can and likely when it is the least convenient for you, they will be used against you. My comments were picked up and published by the Orlando Sentinel. My first clue was when my little "live space" got several hundred hits in one day from a referral site I didn't recognize. I clicked over there to see my words supporting a very negative article about Garth. Yes, I'd written it, and yes I'd meant it... but I had never intended for ANYONE to see it really, and I never ever meant to publicly diss Garth... I loved Garth.

So it was a little flash back the other day when i noticed my little blog hits had gone through the roof, and the referring sites were all Kevin Costner related. Upon checking I found my blog posted on a costner "scrapbook" site. Thankfully however, my comments about Mr. Costner had been nothing but glowing, and the comments that I've received from costner fan visitors have all been positive! It's given me a chance to check out their sites and for more people to all share in what for me was a once in a lifetime opportunity.

A much nicer experience. And a sweet way to hold on to my extraordinary night and keep reliving it over and over!!!

Maybe I'll move on to other topices this weekend, especially since I still have 2 days in this 3 day weekend!!!
