Eye Candy

They are sweet to the sight...their smile makes you melt...you don't really know them but then again you don't want to know them because if you did, then the excitement would be lost. That's right...it's EYE CANDY!!! I've had a few eye goodies in my life time. My favorites happened while I was in Amherst. Oh goodness!! That town had everything from the rugged papi, to the reggae White boy with cute dreads, to the International boy with a great personality, and let's not forget the Christian boy who knows what he want. Oh yes...they were ALL my eye candy! But, let's be frank...eye candy are meant for one thing, to entice your day dreams. To take away your breath just by walking into the room or even to make you giggle when they hug you hello or kiss you goodbye. Oh my! I won't mention names because you NEVER know who is reading your blogs but there was one guy who stole my breath when he first walked into my office. Let me tell you. EVERYONE in the room paused when he walked in! I couldn't even look at him after a while I just stared away with a smile on my face. My girl Erin and I exchanged glances. Now, I know that the number one rule of eye candy is after you get to know them, they loose their umph! but I got to know him a bit and my feelings NEVER changed! I think he actually went from eye candy to a crush, but I couldn't help it...he was gorgeous! Tall, musically inclined, sweet, and LATIN. Oh my...I'm cheesing just thinking about it! The funny part is most of the women in my office got over their initial attraction to him but I never did. I held on until I left. One day I was walking to another office and I heard piano music coming from a room. I LOVE to hear piano players, so I walked in letting the sweet sounds of classical music pull me into the room. When I got there it was HIM! When he saw me, he started to play some salsa for me (I LOVE SALSA MUSIC!). I stood and listened to him and then I realized that I have to get to work. I motioned to the door and told him that I had to go...he got up from the piano, walked over to me giving me a hug, and said, "Thanks for stopping by." Come on! Can you blame me for liking him?! He was the type to give you a kiss on the cheek just to say hello or goodbye. One day I was waiting for a ride outside of my building and he waited with me. The boy was riding his bike home...it was the middle of winter...he was freezing...and he still waited with me. Walked me over to the car and closed the door. Hmmm...perhaps I need to make a trip to Amherst just to see him once again!

Now there are disappointing eye candies out there. I mean, there was this guy who would wear the he double hockey sticks out of anything! I am normally not attracted to the hip hop types but this guy was beautiful! He worked in the same building as I did and when I first saw him, I was in the middle of a serious conversation and when he walked through the office, I actually forgot what I was going to say!!! My eyes just decided to follow his steps through my office and my mind was saying one phrase..."DANG HE'S FINE!" He was tall, he had a powerful position, and he was LATIN (don't think that there is a pattern please!). Well he was going well for eye candy for a while there. I mean he would smile and flirt with me when we had our small artificial conversation but one day I heard him make a speech. After that speech, I lost it. He was stripped of his eye candy title. All it took was one sentence...and I was DONE! Finished!!! Grossed out!!! After that, he became a regular man.

Why am I writing this? Well I there are different sides to me. Here's another one. It takes an fine man to catch my attention, but he has to be cute in order to be eye candy. He has to be outstanding inside and out in order to be my crush...and if he wants to be my man...well I can't give that secret away. :-)

Until then readers...Love, Peace, and Hair Grease!
