Re: Carmine/Danny #12: "Ya like that?"
Figures. I write a long post and my computer decides to freeze. Not fair, lol.
Unbeknownst to me, I actually bought People for my roommate who has a serious thing for George Clooney. So it was quite a surprise when I later discovered that Carmine had also made the list. (I doubt my roommate will even notice that page 122 is missing from her magazine…at least I hope not. :lol
But as far as Carmine’s statements are concerned, I agree that in comparison to some of the other guys’ answers – he does look a bit abrasive. Then again, I’ve discovered that while Carmine can make very considerate and well-balanced answers; he can also say things that he either shouldn’t have said or at least taken a little more thought into how it was worded. I’ve cringed a couple of times and thought, “Carmine, you dunce” (affectionately of course). But in this article, I thought he was just being honest, if not frank about it. Chances are it was an interview that was later condensed into five meager sentences and so it’s hard to determine meaning when his words are left in the control of another’s hands. Hell, I’d be nervous to give an interview just based on that idea alone. I’d be neurotic even.
But who knows, a lot could have changed for Carmine between last year and this year. I thought it was interesting that he chose to throw in the “not settling” comment because in the times I’ve seen it used (in this context); it has been in defense – whether done consciously or unconsciously. It might be a slightly touchy subject for whatever reason. (Lol, I know I said determining his meaning would be difficult in five sentences, but I figured I’d just toss my own thoughts in there.)
Though I do admire Carmine’s ambition to find an ambitious woman. He seems to know what he wants and hasn’t bothered to haphazardly involve himself with women in hopes that these traits magically pop up. He never seemed like a serial dater (with the exclusion of that one particular quote from Anna Belknap about knowing romantic places to take women) in his interviews; so I think it’s nice that he’s put some thought into what type of woman he can see himself settling down with.
And now my brain’s shut down, and coherency is becoming impossible. I’ll add more later if I can remember any of it, or if it hasn’t been touched upon by others.
