Today you burst into
My life
As if nothing
Had wilted away
Since the years passed
Since we last said
Hello
Goodbye
Have a good life
It took me that long
To say goodbye
To my heart
My mind
That tricked me
Into believing
You were the one
The one who would
Rescue me
Make me whole again
It was an illusion
I watched the leaves fall
Every year
Every tear
I shed inside
Hiding it from myself
Now you think
You can have
My heart again
To destroy
To bend to your
Desires
If only it were
So simple
You see
When the darkness
Threatened to take
My last breath
A living angel
Lifted me away
From my despair
Turn to me
He urged
I need you
His soul demanded
I woke from my slumber
I took his hand
We flew away
Entwined
When he left me
He took my heart
My soul
My life
This empty shell
That now exists
You can no longer
Hurt.

It’s been about nine years since 300 came out in theaters nationwide, and what better way to celebrate 300‘s 9-year anniversary than to look back at this clip:

These two photos of the blue screen studio shot and the video clip show the hottest guys in the film: the Gerard Butler, Michael Fassbender, and Marc Trottier. It appears in the photo stills that, while Stelios is saying, “My king … it’s an honor to die at your side,” Leonidas doesn’t look back at him but instead looks down at the other Spartan warrior lying dead (Marc Trottier).  As Leonidas says, “It’s an honor to have lived at yours,” he is not facing Stelios but the other guy.

300b.jpgWhy could that possibly be?  Could the other Spartan be Leonidas’ side lover and the meaning is deeper than that of soldier bonding?  It is known in Greek history that men took each other as lovers without the stigma it has today.

Valentine’s Day thoughts aside, congratulations to all three of these babes for the near future.  Gerry’s two films are coming out:London Has Fallen (3.4.16) and Gods of Egypt (2.26.16).  Michael Fassbender is nominated for an Oscar for his role as Steve Jobs (watch the Oscars on 2.28.16).  Marc Trottier will be appearing as Hardhat in the next episode of the CW TV show Arrow on 2.17.16.

Check Marc out on Arrow next Wednesday and www.marctrottier.com for more info about the former Spartan who wholeheartedly caught Leonidas’ attention.
