A man must dream a long time
in order to act with grandeur,
and dreaming is nursed
in darkness.

Meditation from Thais photos are ethereal... Johnny Weir happy in finding luck in love?
Beautiful program on video from what is seen. So neat to see the backbend worked in...tremendous stomach muscles. Johnny looks so svelte and flexible. Soaring jumps, like levitation. Is that Johnny's music for the long program? Quads sure are hard on the body.
Both Johnny and Victor have such kind eyes.
Binky,
Those black and white photos are literally so gorgeous I can barely speak. I have been rattled with emotion all day, wondering how he's doing out there and what this first competition will bring.
It's an amazing feeling to know he's going to do this again. I'm literally on every pin and needle west of the Mississippi for him. I. cannot. wait. please. let. it. be. everything. he. wants. it. to. be.
Thank you for the blog, as always. Those photos. That night. That man. -sigh-
Dreamy.
xoxoxo

With only 12 hours left before the Finlandia Men's Short Program begins, I'm waxing a bit nostalgic...I remember stumbling quite accidently onto a blog, that perfectly expressed my shell shock after Vancouver.
Never a user of any kind of social media, I had no idea that there were soooo many people like myself who were so invested in the career of one Johnny Weir.
Since that day, I've met the greatest people, in person and online...people who like Johnny are warm, caring, funny & so socially aware I can count on them to teach me something new everyday.
For two years we've been invited guests to Johnny's life & career...and now we find ourselves back where we first connected...watching an extraordinary athlete on a frozen rink working to make his dreams (and our dreams for him) come true.
Ganbatte Johnny! Be strong, be beautiful, be yourself!
It's been an honor!
Absolutely beautiful photos of Johnny...so sexy!
Good luck Johnny... as you start that emotional, breathtaking journey to fulfilling your dreams...
Thanks for taking us along!
