Jamie Dornan’s funny walk on the Graham Norton Show.

Posted on by

I love the Graham Norton Show. It always cracks me up. Since I’m going to see Fifty Shades of Grey tomorrow here is a video of Jamie Dornan talking about how Fifty Shades of Grey changed his life. This is so funny.

Watch the video before you scroll down to read my comment. It will be funnier that way (the video, not my comment). It’s only 4 minutes long. It’s not the whole show.

This cracks me up probably more than it should because I can actually relate to this. In 7th grade I had a cyst pressing on my sciatic nerve that caused me to walk funny (I also occasionally walked on my tip toes). I had to go through physical therapy and I remember having to think about the heel-toe thing when I walked. I think I even had that leaning back walk for a while. I think my walk is fine now, or at least no one points it out anymore. Now that I’m thinking about it I should video tape myself walking to see what I look like. I’m kind of curious. Edit: I just asked my husband if I walk funny and his response was “Not that I’ve ever noticed.” I’m still curious to record my walk though.

My intentions for this blog and YouTube channel.

Sorry for the rambling…

I’ve been trying to formulate a way to try to explain my intentions for this blog and my YouTube channel so people could have some idea of what to expect here. It’s hard because it encompasses so many different ideas, hence the “Anything and Alles (Everything)” tagline. There is no main thread that ties everything together except for the fact that they are all things that interest me. My original goal was to use this as a platform to interview people, and that is still a main goal. However, I also want to use this as a way to document things for myself. Whether it’s things I want to remember or just links and videos I want to be able to easily find again. I love being able to look back and see how my interests have evolved or how my ideas on things change with new input. And, in the process, if I can introduce someone to something they didn’t know existed or give them a new way to look at something, then that is just an added bonus.

Growing up my influences were talk shows and MTV (back when MTV actually played music 24 hours a day). I always wanted to be the interviewer. I thought MTV Veejays, Barbara Walters and Oprah Winfrey had the coolest jobs. Music was my first love, quickly followed by books, and I thought “how cool would it be to be able to interview whichever musician or author I was currently into?”. But I wanted to be able to interview whomever I wanted, whenever I wanted, from wherever I wanted. I never wanted to be tied to a location, production company, or a fixed schedule. Nor was I interested in having to interview people I didn’t care about simply for a show. I wanted freedom and control over what I was doing. And now with the internet and websites like YouTube I can do just that. I think that is pretty awesome. Now I just need to start telling people that GushOnline exists.
