“If you can’t love yourself, how the hell you gonna love somebody else?” - RuPaul - - - - - - - - - - - “if by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal.” - John F. Kennedy - - - - - - - - - - - - “Imagine finding someone you love more than anything in the world, who you would risk your life for but couldn’t marry. 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 - - - - - - - - - - -

A Kick-Ass R.E.M. Music Video

Who would have thought the nerdy kid behind the mask was actually a gorgeous 21 yr old by the name of Aaron Johnson.  You know him as "Kick-Ass," the nerdy Superhero from the movie of the same name.

R.E.M., on the verge of a major comeback, are set to release their first album in 3 years and have used Mr. Johnson to their advantage, along with his 50 year old fiancee as the director.  I have listened to the first single, "Überlin," from their album, "Collapse Into Now" and it clearly reminds me of the R.E.M. we all know and love, it truly takes you back to the 1990's. 
  
I have posted the video under "The Spotlight" section on my blog, it's on the right hand side and will automatically start playing or it's on this post if you wish to watch it at a later time.

The only thing happening in the video is Aaron dancing through the entire song (something I have no problem with). While goofy at times, I actually enjoyed watching him, and the music was spectacular.  Take a look and tell me what you think.  Yay or Nay?  And as always, you can enlarge the pictures.
