And you couldn’t have that special day the way your friends do – you know, wear the ring on your finger and have it mean the same thing as everybody else. Just put yourself in that person’s shoes. It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

The Question Is... Will This Cowboy Be There?

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, with attendance approaching over two and a half million visitors per year, is the world's largest livestock exhibition as well as the world's largest rodeo event, requiring the support of sixteen thousand volunteers.

Traditional trail rides, which start in central Texas and end in Houston, precede the Rodeo events. The three-week long event is held at Reliant Park in Houston, Texas and features bull riding, livestock judging, concerts, a parade, a carnival, trail rides, barbecue and wine competitions, shopping, sales, and auctions.

It has drawn some of the world's biggest recording artists, including Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, Brooks & Dunn, George Strait, Reba McEntire, Garth Brooks, Willie Nelson, Selena, Bon Jovi, Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers, ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd, among others.

This year will be even better......so don't miss out!!!

Haven't been to a rodeo since I was very very young, when a baby calf was accidentally killed in front of my eyes while being roped and tied up in a timed contest. No one cared about what had happened, from what I was told, and when I asked my mother why the baby cow wasn't getting back up she swore from that point on to never go back to such a place that abuses animals without care. I might be curious about the rodeo since I don't remember much of it years ago, but I honestly have little interest to see it. That is, unless there are many hot little cowboys like the one above. Then I might make a one time exception. ;)
