Chuck melts my heart and he can sing?!


Ok, so I have been telling people for the last year and a half to watch a show called Chuck! Why? Because it's amazing! Or as Captain Awesome would say, it's well Awesome! (Yes, there is a character nicknamed Captain Awesome!) Some have listened to my pleading... some have listened only when OTHER people told them to watch it (Rachel!), but pretty much I am obsessed with this show. I even wrote a research paper on it for my Communication Theory class. "International Super Spy: The Art of Interpersonal Deception Theory" (Don't judge me...) But this show is awesome and totally underrated. It combines, action, comedy, romance, and so soooo much more! I even got my dad hooked on it!

Ok so I may have gone a little overboard with this Chuck thing... like I said I am obsessed. Ha ha I mean I am posting a blog about it after all! These videos will show you just what the show is about in the new season! :)














But the purpose of this blog is not to encourage all of you to watch this wonderful show (which you SHOULD!), but it has more to do with Chuck himself a.k.a. Zachary Levi. I have a huge crush on him, but this crush only deepened when I found out he could SING!! And sing well nonetheless. As an obsessive music lover, it made Mr. Levi sexier in my eyes. :)

So I thought I would share this with all of you! So please, watch and listen to the smooth vocal sty lings of Katherine McPhee feat. Zachary Levi. Like I said, it melts my heart! :) And please watch Chuck Monday's on NBC! You won't be sorry! The End!

Poor... poor Nashville! :(

While I only lived in middle Tennessee for about a year, I still consider it home. I still visit (not as often as I'd like) and know my old stomping grounds by heart. When I heard about all the crazy flooding going on, I immediately called my friends and family to make sure they were alright. Luckily, they got through it with minimal damage, but there are many in the greater Nashville area who were not so lucky.

At least 29 people are dead across different states from the storm. The Cumberland River in Nashville rose more than 6 feet in some areas, and it will be months before the damage is finally able to be fully assessed.

Many homes are unlivable, and there is damage beyond repair to many Music City landmarks! The Opry is damaged, the Country Music Hall of Fame is underwater, and I can't even imagine all the priceless memorabilia that has been ruined. It breaks my heart to see my city. Yes, my city (and surrounding areas) like this. I wish there was more I could do to help.

My friends have been working for days helping people clean up their homes; trying to get things as close to normal as possible. If you haven't seen what is happening, check out this news report:


Or here are some pics and videos of all the devastation.

If you are willing and able, please donate to the effort to help clean up Nashville.Go to Hands on Nashville for volenteering, and Nashville Red Cross to give monetary donations. It's unbelievable how much help is needed. Please pray for Nashville and those affected by the storm.

To all my friends and family in Tennessee, I love you and stay safe!

I've eaten here quite a few times.
