Forever Young: Rider Strong

What a guy! Cory’s best friend, leather-wearing gentle badass and CRAZY good hair.

Like all the hot hotties from our 90s hearthrob past (JTT or Devon Sawa anyone?), I had no idea what this dude is doing with his life, until wikipedia solves all your problems. He has a degree in English from Colombia and a Masters of Fine Arts. Smart dudes are hot, especially if they are actually hot. He also has a podcast called “Literary Disco” which sounds like a snoozefest but maybe his voice is still hot. He directs, produces, acts and writes screenplays too.

What a pretty normal child star’s adult life. Good for him. He must have good parents.

Thanks Rider Strong, for introducing us to porn names (his name is SO porny), for teaching us that there can never be enough leather if you want to be a badass, and great smiles.

Forever Young: Rain

Work it, rain. Image via loadstorm.com

You know that sound. The gentle swishy noise that puts you to sleep, makes slow music seem heavenly and gives your hair a cynical yet playful frizz. Plus, who can forget rain dances, made popular by the Native Americans and Jonathan Taylor Thomas in the 90s cinema classic Man of the House

Although there are many upsides to rain, like pretty spring flowers and life as we know it, it also has a dark side. Remember puddles? Jerks! Hurricanes? Get over yourself. Hail? DICK.

However, let’s take this time to reminisce upon the happier moments with rain, like earthworm parties and mud pies by the creek. Check out this website that plays the sound of rain during a thunderstorm. What a classic.
