Seriously though; If you're from Texas, or from Corpus Christi for that matter - you're all too familiar with the famous burger that had many of us munching on them when the bars closed on any given night. I won't even begin to tell you how well <a href="http://whataburger.com/" target="_blank">Whataburger</a> employees knew me. LOL. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Corpus Christi, Texas is the birthplace of this wonderful creation and so proud to say, "We're CHAMPIONS!!"</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I haven't posted a blog since December of last year, but when it comes to something as important as texting and driving I have a need to say something.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://blade7184.blogspot.com/2011/06/so-long-as-i-live.html" target="_blank">I've mentioned it in the past</a> and I'll mention it again; I <u><span style="color: orange;"><b><i>was</i></b></span></u> a serial text driver. And not only texting - this included reading email, checking online posts, etc. etc.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Why do it? What's so important that it can't wait? Perhaps your dog is at the vet and you're waiting for that very important call that he's made out of surgery okay. Perhaps your employer is calling or texting you with a very important errand to run. Or perhaps you didn't have a phone to begin with?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It can wait.. No matter how serious the information is on the other end of that message.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I've had Facebook friends that have passed on, and while they're not people I would consider "personal" friends, they were friends in my Facebook world. We're human - so when I read about someone on Facebook who has died because they were texting and driving - it kicks me in the gut.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">AT&T has released a video I encourage everyone to watch. They have released this in conjunction with their 5th Anniversary of the "<a href="http://www.itcanwait.com/all" target="_blank">it can wait</a>" campaign.</span><br />

Do the same - save a life.

<span style="font-size: x-large;">While the plot of the movie is so stereotypical - Father goes out of his way to save daughter across the state; The special effects would be something I'd like to see on the big screen. Poor Californians though, they can never get a break. If it's not DC getting blown to bits, it's the <i><b><span style="color: #f1c232;">Golden State</span></b></i> falling into the Atlantic.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">This Friday will mark the 81st anniversary of the repeal of prohibition in the United States by <a href="http://blade7184.blogspot.com/search/label/President%20Franklin%20D.%20Roosevelt" target="_blank">President Franklin Delano Roosevelt</a>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It feels like I haven't had a drink in years; Honestly, I don't remember the last time I had a drop. And this says alot, because I was a heavy drinker in my twenties and off and on in my thirties. So if you feel the need to celebrate, please be careful.</span><br />

<br />
Proposed Jim Crow laws for gay people are already taking effect in
Kansas. 38-year-old Johnny Quinns-Smith wanted to get an egg-salad
sandwich for himself and his fiance, Erique Boltzman. He went to his
local diner outside Franton, near Scranton, a place where he and
Boltzman had occasionally ate over the past 6 years. In fact, it was at
this diner that the two met during a lunch hour.<br />
<br />
But today, Quinss-Smith encountered something he thought he would
never see in his lifetime: a sign. A sign that said, “Service Refused
To Gay Couples.”<br />
<br />
“I
was in absolute shock, I mean, I could not even fathom what was going
on,” he said. When he went into the restaurant, all went silent. The
locals looked at him, with several pointing and whispering. Wiping out a
cup, a server behind the restaurant’s main ordering station stared at
him and then looked over at one of the newest signs next to the cash
register.<br />
<br />
“I looked at where several people’s eyes were tracking. Then there it was, it was a sign that said ‘No Gay Eating Here’.”<br />
<br />
<div class="wp-caption alignright" id="attachment_8594" style="width: 310px;">
<div class="wp-caption-text">
Shock: “No Gay Eating Here”, Kansas bill allows businesses and government workers to refuse service to gay couples.</div>
<div class="wp-caption-text">
<br /></div>
</div>
Not wanting to make a scene, Quinns-Smith quickly walked up to the
stand where he had always been able to order his food. The server who
had taken his order and brought him his food for years stood there in
front of him and asked, “How can we help?”<br />
“What is wrong. What is this sign meaning,” Quinns-Smith asked, feeling uncomfortable as eyes rested on him.<br />
<br />
“It means you and your boyfriend can’t come eating in here no more,
unless you find God,” a customer seated offered a response before staff
said anything.<br />
“You need to find God and the Bible,” someone else yelled out. The floodgates were open.<br />
<br />
“We don’t want your germs on the silverware.” ”Just repent son, you
can still be forgiven and be normal.” ”Being gay is not natural. It is
not God’s way.”<br />
<br />
Quinns-Smith ran from the restaurant, utterances from the customers
making him absolutely horrified and uncomfortable. When he closed the
door behind him, he saw the sign boldly positioned on the front door,
right above business hours, “Service Refused to Gay Couples.”
Quinns-Smith had not even noticed it when he walked in.<br />
<br />
While he does not plan to return to the restaurant, Quinns-Smith is
worried that so many people in town were so bold to talk him down about
his lifestyle and that the restaurant was supporting their views,
telling him he needs ‘Jesus and to read his Bible’ and to just ‘stop
being gay.”<br />

<br />
The Kansas House of Representatives recently passed a bill with a 73-49 vote that <a href="http://www.kansas.com/2014/02/16/3293904/kansas-senate-leaders-likely-to.html">allows government workers and businesses the right to refuse services to gay couples</a>.
Fortunately, the bill lost traction in the Kansas Senate, but it is
still alive and could become law in the state. The story of this
restaurant will become reality for more gay couples across the state,
facing an unprecedented showing of ignorance that has unfortunately
reached back from the turbulent 1960s and into our modern age of
progress.<br />
<br />
When Johnny Quinns-Smith hopped back into his car, his fiance was surprised. “Where’s our lunch?”<br />
“I had to explain to him, that because we are a gay couple, some
people already felt they had the right to deny us any service, and that
included getting an egg salad sandwich so we could eat outside for lunch
and enjoy a rarely warm winter’s day.”<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Last March I posted <a href="http://blade7184.blogspot.com/2012/03/must-watch-dubstep-violin-by-lindsey.html" target="_blank">an amazing dubstep video by violinst, Lindsey Stirling</a> and the venue she used was absolutely breathtaking. Well this time around another artist, <span style="color: #f1c232;"><b>Alex Boyé </b></span>has used the same venue. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Well....... not exactly. Alex used the Ice Castles in Utah, whereas Lindsey used the Ice Castles in Colorado.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And what's the song? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"<span style="color: #93c47d;"><i>Let It Go</i></span>" from the Disney movie, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2294629/" target="_blank">Frozen</a> of course. Check it out, it's pretty darn cool.</span>

They are an unparalleled creation of walkways, illuminated ice
formations, tunnels, and arches – made entirely out of ice and designed
with the visitor in mind. These massive and dynamic ice structures
are nearly 30 feet high, and collectively measure over 10,000 tons.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> On a recent blog entry, Oprah.com
described the Silverthorne Ice Castles as “magical...twinkling and
sense-defying and straight out of fairy tales.” The post went on to
say, “of all the gorgeous pictures on the internet of incredible
structures made of ice (and to be sure there are many.), I'm most moved
by Brent Christensen's Silverthorne Ice Castle, a cavernous,
surreal-looking place that looks as if it were constructed by an army
of icy elves, or else appeared on its own in an enchanted forest.”</span></span></div>

Seriously folks. Get it together. More often than not, us "Gay" boys are probably not interested in you or how you look anyway. LOL. Well...... unless you look like Zac Efron. haha.<br />
<br />
<em>by <a href="http://www.secondcitynetwork.com/words/by-john-loos/" rel="nofollow">John Loos</a></em><br />
<em> </em> <br />
Hey,
you. Yeah, you. Elite athlete making millions of dollars playing
football for the NFL. I know you're concerned about the upcoming season
now that Michael Sam, the star defensive lineman from Mizzou who's a top
NFL prospect, just came out as gay.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #ea9999;">OH MY GOD WHAT IF HE LOOKS AT YOUR JUNK?!</span></b><br />
<br />
Clearly,
this is the most terrifying thing a modern-day gladiator like yourself
faces at your job. Not a 300-pound mountain of muscle chasing you down,
not a cataclysmic spinal injury, not the constant threat of brain
damage.<br />
<br />
No.<br />
<br />
The minute chance of a split-second side eye
glance from another man who may, in his private life, be naked with his
boyfriend, is clearly far more stressful.<br />
<br />
But have no fear! I was a
closeted gay athlete in high school (a defensive lineman, like Michael
Sam!), so I know a thing or two about navigating a locker room. I know,
for instance, any fear you may have of being checked out by a gay
teammate is nothing compared to the constant fear a closeted athlete has
of being discovered/ridiculed/punched in the face by a bigoted
teammate.<br />
<br />
To help you through the next NFL season, here is a handy guide to how to behave in a locker room where a gay man may be present.<br />
<br />
So, you know, like ANY OTHER LOCKER ROOM IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND EVER.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;"><b>Step 1: Acknowledge your gay teammate</b></span><br />
<br />
Say
hello. Say "nice game." Perhaps give him a compliment on a tackle, or a
catch, or a great run. Maybe throw in a high-five or, if that is too
uncomfortable for you (it shouldn't be), give any another indication
that you're happy he's on your team, even if he plays for a different
team off the field.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;"><b>Step 2: Acknowledge that he's human</b></span><br />
<br />
Ask
a question about his life. How's his family? His partner? Talk about
shared interests (Yes! You likely have shared interests with this
homosexual human!) If you don't know what this person likes, ask. Or
talk about the weather! Or Beyoncé! Not because he's gay, but because
everyone, gay straight, male or female, Madagascan village elders or
Inuit whale hunters, has something to say about Beyoncé. She's the
universal conversation starter.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;"><b>Step 3: Get undressed</b></span><br />
<br />
Because
you just spent two hours playing in the mud and dirt, and it's a locker
room and you're an adult -- and get over yourself and seriously -- you
have to change out of your uniform. You smell like shit.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;"><b>Step 4: Realize at this point, you're looking at your gay teammate more than he's looking at you</b></span><br />
<br />
Why
is he not looking at you? You're attractive! You work out! Are you not
his type? Maybe he's only into punters. Oh my God, it's almost as if
your teammate is concentrating on getting cleaned up and getting home to
his life, just like you were supposed to be before you got preoccupied
with checking him out to see if he's checking you out.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;"><b>Step 5: Do your usual stealth glances of other naked teammates</b></span><br />
<br />
Because
straight men size each other up all the time in locker rooms. But it's
from a place of competition, which is far more acceptable for some
reason. Bros bein' bros, etc.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;"><b>Step 6: Realize at this
point, you're being paid millions of dollars to exist on this team with
this gay person, so you'll survive somehow</b></span><br />
<br />
At the
absolute worst, this teammate finds you attractive and has a moment of
weakness and lets one little glance slip that you catch, and you notice
because you're (of course) already staring at him. Now you know how the
thousands upon thousands of breasts you've stared at slack-jawed in your
lifetime feel. Congratulations, Margaret, you've just become a woman!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;"><b>Step 7: Count the number of half-naked teammates around you and divide by 10</b></span><br />
<br />
That's
how many actually are gay, whether they've stated it publicly or not.
And they've been there all along, since you started playing football in
high school, and somehow you're still alive and unscathed and making
millions of dollars.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;"><b>Step 8: Shower</b></span><br />
<br />
Because,
again, you smell. If your gay teammate is showering at the same time,
kudos to you for noticing he walked into the showers. Why are you
watching him so closely, anyway? Seriously, are you cruising him?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;"><b>Step 9: Dress, go home</b></span><br />
<br />
And
play with the piles of money you've earned from somehow being brave and
manly enough to put on skin-tight capri pants, a jock strap and give
other grown men really aggressive hugs and wrestle them to the ground.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It's only a concept, so don't get too excited. But it's cool nonetheless. The concept car from <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/02/05/renault-kwid-concept-new-dehli-auto-expo/" target="_blank">Renault</a> features a driver-controlled drone in the trunk of the car! Yep, it simply comes out the rear of the car, and investigates upcoming traffic for you. Great for burglars too! lol. As I said, don't get too excited over it; These rarely get to the dealership floor. Check it out.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span><span></span></span>It's amazing how much can happen when a Democrat takes over. California has quickly emerged out of a deficit thanks to Governor <b style="color: #f1c232;">Jerry Brown</b>. It's no BS. By the time Governor Schwarzenegger left office the state had a $25.4 billion deficit and within two years, the state now has a surplus of $851 million. But politics aside, the Terminator did sign the world's largest anti-global warming law before he left office...<br /><span><span><br /></span></span><span><span></span><span><span>Giving credit to <a href="http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/environment/0,28757,1602354,00.html" target="_blank">TIME</a>,

<span style="font-size: large;"><span><span><span><span><span style="font-size: x-large;">23. Copy California</span></span></span></span></span></span></h1>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #f1c232;">Arnold Schwarzenegger</span></b> may have signed the world's toughest
anti-global-warming law, but it is Democrat <b style="color: #f1c232;">Terry Tamminen</b>, his
environmental adviser, who is emerging as the state's real Terminator,
winning industry support and the endorsement of a Republican Governor
for a mandate to reduce the state's emissions 80% by 2050. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
But thwarting climate change isn't a solo effort. Tamminen left his
official post to build a national response to global warming one state
at a time. "I am trying to Johnny Appleseed what California has done,"
Tamminen says. His goal is to create a de facto national climate plan
out of individual efforts in the 50 states. "He is crisscrossing the
country and spreading the word," says <b style="color: #f1c232;">Karl Hausker</b>, deputy director of
the Center for Climate Strategies. "Terry gets state leaders interested
in doing this." Hausker's nonpartisan, nonprofit group handles the
technical details after Tamminen plants his seeds. Nineteen states have
developed or are developing aggressive climate plans based on the work
of Hausker's group and Tamminen. So much progress is being made at the
state and regional level, Tamminen says, that "by the time that there is
a new Administration in the White House, a majority of Americans will
live in states with a meaningful plan that deals with the climate-change
issue." </span><br />

If you ask me, I think studios and producers should start listening to their fans to make a <b><span style="color: red;">Wond</span>er W</b><b style="color: #3d85c6;">oman</b> movie. Lord knows Hollywood can't get it together.<br />
<br />
Take a look at this short film by Rainfall Films and tell me it isn't cool. I think it's pretty darn awesome. I know most fans will never let go of <b><span style="color: #f1c232;">Lynda Carter</span></b> or <b><span style="color: #f1c232;">Christopher Reeve </span></b>for that matter, but people need to be more objective.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I don't know how old this video is. But supposedly the FBI and others are looking for this Mother.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Quite honestly, this is one of the most disturbing videos I have ever seen. And yes, unfortunately there are stupid people in the world. But this goes beyond that... I don't know... is there anything worse than being stupid? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Look, I'm not one for violence. Really, I'm not. BUT CAN SOMEONE KILL THIS BITCH!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Arrrrrghhhh!! I am sharing and posting this video online so that if anyone knows or sees this person can report her right away.</span><br />

<br />
But I also find it rather disturbing that a mother can simply turn of their "love" switch and forget they raised a child since birth; Loved and cuddled with them since they were little, and yet their hatred for being born a certain way engulf them to the point of stupidity.<br />

They're actually pretty fun to watch, and the stuff they come up with are pretty hilarious. One of the last videos I posted from them was "<a href="http://blade7184.blogspot.com/2012/02/laugh-of-day-meet-black-person.html" target="_blank">Meet a Black Person</a>", where they put up a stand in Aspen, Colorado with an opportunity to meet a black person. Keep in mind, Aspen's white population is 90%. The reactions by several passer-by were hilarious. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Yesterday, the Improv crew posted a video online titled, <i><span style="color: #93c47d;">The 1860's Bar</span></i>, where they completely transformed a local bar in Brooklyn, New York to match the era. They literally turned the clock back 150 years and invited a couple friends who had no idea what they were walking into. LOL.</span><br />
