30 Days and 16 Years: A Pin Up History of Jake Gyllenhaal and Austin Nichols - Day 29


January 23, 2011

Under his old twitter account, AUS10NICHOLS, the big guy tweeted:


The Arctic Sunrise is in Wilmington, NC. So awesome. This boat could tell some stories.    http://twitpic.com/3srvol
about 2 hours ago via Twitpic
 

The Arctic Sunrise, you say? According to Wikipedia, the ice-strengthened vessel is owned and operated by Greenpeace and was purchased in 1995.  She has been on numerous campaigns and protests, all across the world.  Given his love of the environment, it is not surprising that Austin enjoyed seeing the ship that day.  

Along with Austin's tweet, came an uploaded picture.



Anyone, anything catch your eye in this picture? [Besides that beautiful rainbow!]  I'll give you a minute to study the photo more closely.

Any particular subject catch your eye? 

And is there anyone, I mean anything that person might be looking at in particular which could be deemed interesting? Like maybe a little boy that appears to be around three-years old?  The same age that Jake and Austin's No. 1 son would have been in January 2010; the one kneeling on the ground talking to the little girl? The same child that guy on the left (who looks suspiciously like Jake Gyllenhaal), is focusing his attention on?

 
The week during which the ship docked in Wilmington NC occurred during the time period when Austin had returned to prepare for filming a new season of One Tree Hill.  Simultaneously, the context was that Jake was involved in a high-profile stunt, er - meet-up in Nashville, TN with ex-beard, Taylor Swift. [Insert Google Map image at this time.]


Once the tweet was posted by Austin on Sunday afternoon (January 23rd), an instant observation was posted by Oh My Godot's very own Florida Tom (formerly Jersey Tom),

Nice Boat. Love the rainbow. That guy on the left looks like Jake. LOL.

Apologies to Gordon Lightfoot, but let's just say that the Edmund Fitzgerald wasn't the only vessel to hit rough seas as a bit of havoc was let loose;  one and 1/2 days of heavy trolling immediately ensued on Oh My Godot. Apparently, somebody's management team was not too happy with Jersey Tom's observation. 



This boat could tell some stories.

Oh, indeed, I'm sure it could, Austin.

It's hard to go back and find Austin's old tweets because he changed his twitter name to its present @AustinNichols. When he changed his twitter name, along with it sailed away his old tweets. Imagine that.

Because see, back then, before 2012, these two guys were still risk-takers. They did this kind of thing. Remember Austin tweeted the NYC "LOVE" photo after it was expressed on the blog by a long-time regular that they thought Jake & Austin had broken up? Austin tweeted that photo within 24 hrs in answer back. Remember the onesie photo tweeted by Austin prior to Leadville Baby Tile's birth? Remember when Austin used to follow Stephen Gyllenhaal on Twitter? Remember when Jake left the doctor's building carrying little boxes of candy? Remember when Jake arrived in London for Prince of Persia promo and he displayed his wedding band for all to see?

They did these things back in the day and 2011 was still this kind of time period. They have hidden in plain sight as well. All before 2012, when everything changed.

Here are links to the two threads on Oh My Godot. On the 23rd, Austin tweeted, someone posted the tweet and the discussion began. Trolling started after Tom's comment and lasted into the next day. lol. It's classic textbook trolling.

Please ignore the ignoramus comments from you know who. I was (and some would say still am) quite the blathering moron back in the day. LOL.

It's fun to go back and look at the old threads. And the paid troll likes to go on his "blog" and his twitter and talk about how OMG is "closed down". That Special K closed it down. She did not close it down. As anyone can see by the hyperlinks up there, OMG is very much still open for all to see. Nothing deleted. Nothing hidden. It's all there. It's just not active. And why is that? Because the troll shut it down with his spastic spamming. Spamming that the likes of Spn Goss is currently getting. They are getting trolled just like OMG was. But in their case, I think Mgmnt already has had control of that blog and they're doing the spamming. They're just acting like it's a troll. Spn Goss will meet the same fate as WFT2 and OMG, mark my words. It's going on right now.

And when I look at the timing of it all. Jake allegedly in Nashville TN (and yes, Tennessee touches North Carolina, not that far of a flight at all) and Austin getting ready to settle in Wilmington for the new filming season.

I could see Jake and at least Number 1 son seeing him off at Wilmington to say good bye. Time for Daddy to go back to work, right? And then Jake was seen arriving back in LAX that following weekend.

But decide for yourselves. It's a controversial speculation and certainly at the time on OMG, we had fun speculating and discussing.

Well, we only have one more day to go!! And then we'll be back to regular programming. ;-) Several posts already being bandied about. Been ignoring Jensen and Jared's antics for a little bit, so of course, they will need to be on the agenda. ;-)

Okay, lots to do this afternoon. Will be in and out, but as always, keeping an ear to anything going on.

Gorgeous weather too, I'm going to get a bit of Vitamin D myself!

Interesting, isn’t it? Peter Sarsgaard is supposed to be filming in Toronto, a movie called “Between the Earth and Sky”. But he’s also supposed to have been filming a movie called Gareth Jones, which is/was filmed in the Ukraine, UK and Poland.

Which makes the idea of Maggie hanging around in LA juuuuuuuust a bit side eye worthy, doesn’t it?
