He's Just Begun: 26 Candles for Liam Payne Today

Thursday, August 29 is a special day because in addition to it being this author's mom's birthday, it also belongs to Mr. Liam James Payne.  And Narnia has been waiting to heap some lovin' on Liam, who celebrates 26 years on this earth and we are all the more blessed for it.

And so Narnia would like to bestow some cyber gifts upon Mr. Liam in his honor!  First, how about some men's fireman pajamas and maybe they'll help him dream of putting out some fires.

And if he needs some help?  Well, just turn on this Bat Signal light.  And if he and Zayn are in separate geographical areas, he can at least signal Zayn that he's thinking of him.  :-)

And not that he'll need them, but these little turtle erasers could provide some friendly company for those solo song-writing sessions.  If by chance, Liam makes a small boo-boo, he's got just what he needs to make the correction.  And they're maintenance-free and can be left unattended.  ;-)

Hopefully, Liam would like this.   Because he loves his music, loves to move...how about a classic vintage-looking, radio bluetooth speaker to enjoy his music in the parlor?  This lil' guy is sharp!!

Rich tones, some glossy gold trim, and nice, sleek lines.  That's Liam!  Sharp and classic all the way.

We wish Liam good health in his new year ahead.  We wish him success in his professional ventures.  New, fun adventures.  Safe travels and a lot of writing inspiration.  The world is your oyster, Liam!

And we thank him for another year of his lovely smiles.

May he continue handling hidden trials with the aplomb and dignity that he has exhibited thus far, share his unique and humble sense of humor and remain unspoiled by the riches he has been blessed with.  What a special, special young man who brings such joy.  God, continue to watch over him and guide him through the good times and the trials until he's able to fully extend his wings and soar.

Happy Birthday, Liam.  All our love.   Narnia Dispatches.

When It Was a 5 O'Clock World for These OTP's

Just think - at one time, these guys looked forward to a 5 o'clock world on Friday.

In no particular order, we present:

Kris Allen - shoe salesman [He dropped out of college in the middle of his junior year to pursue music professionally, performing in local bars and working as a shoe salesman to make ends meet. wikipedia]

Adam Lambert - Starbucks employee [While he lived a normal civilian life, Adam Lambert hustled his way by working at Starbucks.  ppcorn.com]

Harry Styles - a baker [We came to W. Mandeville to be honest because Harry Styles used to work there. facebook]

Louis Tomlinson - worked at Toys R Us [He used to work at Toys R Us. wattpad, This is Us movie]

Jared Padalecki - it would appear Mr. Jared went straight to acting out of high school.  However...how about parade grand marshal? 
[Jared was the grand marshal for a parade in his hometown in 2000. Quora]


Jensen Ackles - model [After modelling on and off since the age of 4, Ackles began to concentrate on an acting career in 1996. wikipedia] 

Jake Gyllenhaal - restaurant busboy [Gyllenhaal also took summer jobs, including working as a busboy and lifeguard.  [LAtimes]

[He said he was kind of a brat. What happened?
Well, he was very young. I think he had just turned 16 at the time. On Martha’s Vineyard in July and August, it’s crazy-busy. Every night is like a busy Saturday night, so you need everybody to show up to work, right? He had his mother call into the restaurant to say that he was sick for the day. My buddy and I who ran the place were like, “Oh my God. I can’t believe that Jake’s mother just called to say that he’s home sick and can’t come to work.”

So the next morning, we went to the drugstore and bought a baby bottle and a little pacifier, and when he came back to work, we gave him so much shit. We just didn’t let up. Every day for the rest of the summer, we kept on giving him water in a baby bottle. He was just telling me how that kind of resonated with him in terms of work ethic, so I thought it was kind of cute. grubstreet]

Austin Nichols - movie note taker.  No seriously, I have been unsuccessful finding any kind of job other than acting that Austin has had.

Zayn Malik - wanted to be a boxer.  [The 1D star just recently revealed that he wants to become a boxer. musictimes]

Liam Payne - fancied being a firefighter because he liked the idea of saving people.  [Liam once revealed that his dream job (aside from ‘globally successful boyband member’) is a firefighter. metro.co.uk, gif by mikkipedia]

You've gotta love the baker, shoe salesman, Starbucks barista, Toys R Us employee.  Here's to you, fellas.  Don't forget the joys of what a 5 o'clock world was.  :-)

It's a 60's FRIDAY!!!  Enjoy!

Since this administrator is about to be in the weekend throes of the ice-apocalypse "Jupiter", I thought it would be a fun challenge to take a look at some of our favorites in mitten-ready-mode for the upcoming Midwest Plains arctic weather...

First on deck?  Mr. Jake Gyllenhaal.

Mr. Austin Nichols.

Mr. Jensen Ackles.

Mr. Kris Allen [chameleon'ing as white snow because there is NO picture of this young man in a coat, in snow, near snow, in cold weather, in a winter cap, eating ice cream, NOTHING.]

Mr. Zayn Malik.

Mr. Liam "Lima Bean" Payne.

Now those are my idea of snow bunnies.

When Plain and Simple Seems Almost Too Plain and Simple

Sometimes, clues for a future unshackling might look too obvious and too good to be true.  Surely, these two tweets sent out by Liam Payne were too plainly subliminal?  Or were they?

Drake-karaoke🎼

— Liam (@LiamPayne) September 6, 2016

 

 What is it about the song Karaoke which might get minds to wondering why Liam would tweet about the tune?

“Karaoke” is a story about relationship troubles as Drake rises to super stardom. -  Genius.com
http://genius.com/Drake-karaoke-lyrics


And one day later, Liam tweeted this:

@the1975 somebody else is an absolute monster vibe literally can't turn it off

— Liam (@LiamPayne) September 6, 2016

"Somebody Else" by The 1975 was another song about?  A break up. 

So I heard you found somebody else
And at first I thought it was a lie
I took all my things that make sounds
The rest I can do without

I don't want your body
But I hate to think about you with somebody else
Our love has gone cold
You're intertwining your soul with somebody else


Two songs focused on a "break up", tweeted by someone who 1) hasn't been very active on social media very much recently and 2) is also a member of a singing group where symbolism is used quite frequently for its highly observant and knowledgeable fan base.  So I think I join other Liam and 1D fans in wondering if his break-up song tweet-tandem is a hint of news to come, regarding the relationship between him and gf Cheryl Hernandez-Versini.  Trying to remember that patience is a virtue....

Some OTP Luxuriation - Today's Feature is Ziam

Time to take a break from analyzation and brain calisthenics.  Let's luxuriate in the adorable hotness of Ziam - Zayn Malik and Liam "Lima Bean" Payne.  Without further ado....

And I don't know, but I was trying to keep this Rated A for Adorableness, but I cannot always guarantee that I can stay on the right side of decency and what in the heck is this?  NSF innocent perusing ahead!!!

lol.  I'm sorry, I couldn't NOT post that.  Ziam is too much for my heart.

Hope you all enjoyed!!
