Futurist...

Ok, so it's 1.51am. I was so tire about an hour ago I thought I was gunna puke and now I am WIDE awake.

So, I thought I'd talk about my rediscovered obsession.

Robert Downey Jr.

I know you're all going "Oh Wow. How original...not", but I find him extremely fascinating.

For example...

Did you know he studied ballet?

I became really obssessed with him when I was like 11 and I saw him in "I Want Love" by Elton John. The only problem was it was very hard to be obsessed because my parents wouldn't let me watch anything he was in, but it did make me very aware of him.

I did get to watch "Chaplin" when I was about 12 or 13 and I just remember thinking "If I could be half the actor he is, I'd be happy". Without sounding like a cliche I'd say that he is one of the best actors of our generation.

I became reobsessed when I was about 15 and "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" came out... God I love that film.

But anyways, the point of all this is that I have become obsessed again is because I discovered he has an album. I know I'm a bit of a late comer to this fact, but I was so excited coz I always thought "He's such a good singer, why not release an album".

I was so excited when I found footage of him recording on YouTube. The thing I loved the most was that he just looked so genuinely happy.

He just seems like a genuine guy, when he smiles he screws up his whole face... I like that.

Anyways... I needed to get that out of my system.
