...you've only lost 40 pounds.

Yes, as a fan of Jonah Hill, I've noticed his weight loss transformation. Today I looked up before and after pictures so I could see the extremes:

Look at those...come on, there's more than a 40 pound difference there. I'd say he's lost at least 65 pounds. And actually, I KNOW I've seen recent pictures or video of him looking even a little bit smaller than in the above pictures. I think it was a video I saw of him in an interview at the premiere of "21 Jump Street" (which, btw, is amazing and yes, johnny depp has a cameo) and he looked even skinner...around the chest and waist, as well as in the face. 

And speaking of weight loss in the face, when I read that he'd lost 40 pounds, I thought "man, that's just how much he's lost from the neck up!" lol. Look at this:

And I didn't notice this before reading an entire article about this one little observation, but notice how prominent his ears are now? I think it's so cute! I love big ears! Not in a creepy sexual way, but in an "aww, how cute and adorable" way. haha.

Jonah Hill has come such a long way in this weight loss journey of his! I just wish that in my picture search for this blog post, I could've found a more recent picture of him so you could see that he's even lost a little more weight. Look at him in the above pictures in this post...in the video I saw of him where he looked even a little bit smaller...I'd say it was about a 15 pound difference. 

You can see his weight loss transformation if you go watch "21 Jump Street"...and I highly recommend doing so, because it's so awesome! I never would've thought Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum could have such incredible on-screen chemistry. 

I know a lot of people look at blog posts, news articles, etc like this about celebrities and think "...who the fuck cares!?!" but realize this: everyone cares. We are a celebrity obsessed country. You most certainly care when you find out this celebrity is pregnant, this celebrity came out of the closet, and this celebrity is in jail. You care and don't act like you don't. Juss sayin..

Furthermore regarding Hill's weight loss: First of all, I'm very happy for him. He's obviously much healthier and happier now. In interviews I've read/watched, all he can talk about is how much happier he is. That's fantastic.

One thing that is good for him as an actor, but kinda bothers me in a way, is that he's probably going to get a lot more work now that he's in better physical shape. Think about it: like I said, we are a celebrity obsessed country. But not only are we obsessed with our celebrities, but we're obsessed over their beauty and perfection as well. The physically beautiful/perfect people are the ones who make it big in Hollywood...they're the ones who get the most work and are the most popular. They're sex symbols. And now that Mr. Hill has slimmed down, there's no denying that he's better looking. It's gonna get him more work because now, he fits the norm of what people (producers, directors, society) expect to see in Hollywood.

Ok, I have 2 more points to make, then I'm done, I swear.

One thing I noticed after seeing this transformation is now Hill actually looks his age now! lol. Before, he always looked like a nerdy, insecure high school geek to me. And I swear to God, I didn't mean that in any kind of derogatory or snide way. Maybe it's just because the first films I ever saw him in were "Click" and "Superbad" and that was the exact type of character he played in those films, but still...don't you agree that even at ages 25, 26, and 27, he still looked like that nerdy, insecure high school kid? Now, he looks like a mature, together, knows-what-he-wants 28 year old. Congrats.

And my final point...well actually, it's more of a question...so, is it okay to say that Jonah Hill is officially hot now? I mean come on..if the pictures above weren't convincing enough, here are a few more:

I never thought I would say it, but yea...Jonah Hill is hot! lol

Let me know if you agree.

And at that note, I'm gonna let you go

thanks for reading <3

chipped paint
covers the wood
like acne
and makes the place
look beautiful
because it's flawed

there's a stump in the
front yard
where there used to be
a small tree
with a thick low-set branch
i used to sit on
and think

there's a hole in the ground
under the porch
where there used to be
a well
i never got a chance
to drop in a coin
and make a wish
but would it have
come true
had i gotten the chance?

the yard is big
and a battleground
a field where murder
took place in a nightmare
where i chased down
my brother
and beat him to death
for tickling me
till i peed myself

there used to be a trampoline
that once had a ladder
because i was too short
to climb on it by myself
and padding over the springs
so i wouldn't get pinched
and Bear would nap underneath
in the shade
and in the summertime
two of us kids would jump up and down
while the other one sprayed us
with the hose
it was a game
like Teatherball
or Mother, May I?

there's a small patch
where grass won't grow
around a circle of concrete
where the basketball goal stood
i loved it when
Jesse would come over
and play HORSE with my brother
especially when he ran over
without his shirt on
and asked to borrow my blue bike
and ride down
to Anderson's C-Store
for a pack of Big League Chew
and a cream soda

there used to be memories
there still are
but now they're trapped
inside the abandoned house
that's been gutted
the windows have been knocked out
the walls have been torn down
and all that remains
is a shell
about to break
yet still strong enough
to hold
my childhood

i saw her pull up
even though it was
3 a.m.
and she turned the headlights off
a few blocks back

but i can still see her
she's changing her clothes
out of her red dress
into her jogging suit
the one she goes shopping in
because she doesn't really jog

and all i can wonder
is where she got that red dress
and why she never wears it for me
but then when i remember
that it's 3 a.m.
and she turned the headlights off
a few blocks back
i realize
she doesn't want to wear it for me

but if she knew
that i saw her in it
and if she knew
how wet it made me
to think about touching her in it
and taking it off her
if she knew
that i could love her
like he does
even more than he does
then she would never leave me again
and she'd love me too

she's walking up the steps
so i run away from the window
onto the couch
faking a snore
and when she walks in
she pretends to be breathy
in case i'm still awake
as if it'd convince me
but then she sees me
she comes over to me
i can hear her tiptoe
and she covers me up
kisses my forehead
and whispers
i'm sorry
like she always does
when she thinks i'm asleep

and i always forgive her

i hate her for the fact
that i love her
