Well. I fell off of the blogosphere for a bit.

Vacationing, family-reunioning, and general laziness are to blame.

It’s really hard to get myself back into the swing of things. Ridiculously hard.

I’ve been home all of two days. And aside from packing, I’ve done nothing that would even come close to being considered productive.

Aside from watching Big finally. Oh, Tom Hanks. How you make me swoon….

I seriously cannot believe I hadn’t seen this movie before now. It’s one of those movies I’ve always been meaning to watch but just never got around to seeing it. It’s been sitting in my Netflix queue for months.

I’m not going to write a semi-review of Big. That ship sailed over 20 years ago. No. This post will be an ode to Tom Hanks.

I’ve always loved Tom Hanks. He’s one of those actors that seems to be genuinely nice. He’s charming, cute, and all around a stand up guy. (I mean…that’s how he seems to be displayed.)

I haven’t ever read about him online, caught up in some scandal, or sleeping with some nanny who has a secret love-child hidden away.

And he’s funny.

His TV appearances are great. He was recently on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and upstaged Mr. Stewart, but through sheer, pure personality. He wasn’t being showy. Obviously, that’s not in his nature. (I tried to find said episode, but it was a little older than I thought, and therefore, no longer available. Sorry to build the intensity and then leave you high and dry.)

He’s just a classy guy. And a talented actor. I mean, who could make the loss of a volleyball as tear-inducingly sad?

I’m really starting to lose direction with this post. So here’s a hilarious video to leave you with.

Enjoy.
