Principles are Hot!

Every time I try to start a regular feature, I get distracted and end up dropping it. So I'm just going to tell you upfront that this is NOT going to be a regular thing. But when I read about a guy (occasionally a woman, but I am straight after all) doing what I consider to be the single most attractive thing one can do, I want to highlight it. What is that sexy thing? Having principles, living them and acting on them.

First up, we have two guys I've crushed on for awhile now: Scott Fujita and Zach Galifianakis.

Fujita is an NFL linebacker currently playing for the Cleveland Browns. Jezebel has a great rundown of reasons to love Fujita, and today he added to the list by co-authoring an op-ed on the links between LGBT equality and immigration reform. Fujita speaks out on issues relating to adoption, family and reproductive choices, but he gets extra points with me for being so outspoken about LGBT rights even as he makes a living doing one of the most stereotypically "manly" jobs out there. HAWT.

I finally saw "The Hangover" a few weeks ago, and I don't mind writing that I'd kick Bradley Cooper out of bed any day for either Ed Helms or Zach Galifianakis. But Zach also gets points for growing up one county over from me in our our very rural corner of North Carolina. So part of my Zach-crush is identification. I don't know and I don't care if he was involved in cutting Mel Gibson from "The Hangover 2," but it is true that he's done some work for Growing Voices, whose projects include community development in Africa and, yes, domestic violence awareness here in N.C. Ha-aht.

I'm kind of a loudmouth myself (hence the whole "blogging into the void" thing...). While I can't tell you what Women(TM) want, I can assure you that this woman gets all warm and fuzzy when I see people stand up for something they believe in.
