Dear Brian Boitano, Will You Be My New Best Friend?

It is time for a new feature on the blog, a segment called, “Dear so-and-so, will you be my new best friend?” It will basically be devoted to people Jordan and I think we could start a pretty awesome relationship with, people that have really made an impact on our lives, or people who we would like to bring home to meet our parents. They may or may not be famous or outstanding citizens, but one thing is for sure: they are cool enough to be our friend.



As revealed in the title, our first new best friend pick is Brian Boitano. First, a little refresher, remember this?



Brian Boitano won the Olympic gold medal in figure skating in 1988, and to date is the only male figure skater to be featured on the front cover of Sports Illustrated. Soon afterward he became a professional skater, during which time he won an Emmy for his role in Carmen On Ice. The man had already received two great honors of achievement that most of us will never have. Then he became a superhero. He was immortalized in the song featured above, bringing his accolades into light for a new generation. What a dreamy guy; not only has he won an Olympic gold medal and an Emmy, but he also saved the human race from the evil robot king, beat up Kublai Khan, and built the pyramids! We could have stopped after the Olympic gold (oh, and he also has his own figure skating move called the ‘Tano triple lutz…cool) in considering him to be our new best friend, and especially after his Emmy and amazing superhero song. But get this, the man can cook too! The Food Network has given BB a cooking show, and it is possibly the best thing on television. It is called "What Would Brian Boitano Make?", with the theme song being the one shown above. He is totally flamboyant and ADD, while the concept of the show is full of humor and love. It even involves a Kristi Yamaguchi bobble head! Is there anything this man could not do? He is awe inspiring and physically fit.

(By the way, Brian Boitano, if by any chance you did a Google search of your name and went 28 pages back and found this blog post and would like to get in contact with us, just leave a message and we can start a correspondence.)

Yes, he is this cool.
