Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me.

Are People Really This Stupid? Issue No. 38 - Mother Tosses, Flips and Tortures Baby

I don't know how old this video is.  But supposedly the FBI and others are looking for this Mother.

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?  

Look, I'm not one for violence.  Really, I'm not.  BUT CAN SOMEONE KILL THIS BITCH!

Arrrrrghhhh!!  I am sharing and posting this video online so that if anyone knows or sees this person can report her right away.

The Joys of Being a Parent: I’m The Mom That Draws On Napkins

And the award for "Best Mom" goes to....

Nina Levy

You may remember, last week the award went to David Laferriere for being the best dad ever!  He earned the award because of the many drawings he creates on his kid's sandwich bags.  Well, now there's Nina Levy, who is an absolutely amazing artist.  She creates these magnificent drawings that are out of this world.  And she's been doing them every night for the past 6 years!
I have been drawing pictures on napkins for my sons' lunch boxes every night for the last six years. I usually get requests, although they are sometimes hard to fulfill- "I want Nightwing and Kid Flash blowing up the Brotherhood of Evil while Batman and Superman watch." Read More
Check these out!

The Joys of Being a Parent: I’m The Dad That Draws On Sandwich Bags

And the award for "Best Dad" goes to....

David Laferriere.

This special Dad has been drawing on his kids sandwich bags for over 5 years.  His kids don't see the images until they sit down for lunch and look to see what Dad drew for them on that particular day.  I think it's one of the greatest things I've seen online for quite some time.   

This is definitely what The Joys of Being a Parent is all about.

A Very Special Moment - Issue #7: My Son & His "Roommate" Invited Me To Dinner

OMG, I absolutely love this!  I definitely had to post it as "A Very Special Moment" on my blog.  The story is courtesy of Facebook friend, Kyle Ryan Palmer, who posted it on his newsfeed this morning.

Oh, how I love Mothers!  They are undeniably the best at EVERYTHING!!!!  And so very cunning too!

Check out the story below.
A Mom went to have dinner with her son who lives with his roommate.

During the course of the meal, his mother couldn't help but notice how handsome his roommate was. She had been suspicious about her sons sexuality but being a good mother she felt that he would let her know if and when the time was right but seeing the two together just made her more curious.

Over the course of the evening, while watching the interaction between the two she wondered even more if there was more here than meets the eye. Her son, sensing his mothers watchfully eye volunteered, "really Mom, I can tell what you're thinking and you can just get it out of your mind, we are just roommates and nothing more".

About a week later the roommate remarked, "ever since your mother was here the silver serving platter has been missing, do you think she took it?"

He responded, "Well I'm sure she didn't but I will email her and ask just to be sure" he sat down and wrote:

Hey Mom,
I'm not saying you did take the silver platter from the house and I am not saying you didn't take it but the fact remains that it has been missing ever since you were here for dinner.
Love,
Your Son.

A couple days later he got a response from his mother:

Dear Son,
I am not saying that you do sleep with your roommate and I am not saying that you don't sleep with him and you know I love you and could care less either way but the fact remains that if he was sleeping in his own bed he would have found the platter under his pillow.
When are the two of you coming for dinner?

Love,

Mom

Quick-Pic 004: Little Romeo Beckham, A Doll

Awww, the cute and adorable son of Posh Spice aka Victoria Beckham and Soccer pro, David Beckham wanted a doll so they took their little Romeo to American Girl and had one made.  For those who have no idea what American Girl is, it is the equivalent to Build-A-Bear Workshop, except instead of building a bear - you build yourself a doll.  It brings a tear to my eye seeing parents engaging their child like this.  Kudos to the Beckhams!

This is just another example of how the world is changing around us.  It truly does get better!

A Very Special Moment - Issue #5: Thank You Mom

Whether you're a mother, grandmother or even a father, having a child is A Very Special Moment, and this video is the reason why.
You may have seen the following commercial last summer during the Olympics, or possibly you never have.  In either case, now you have the chance to watch it again, or for the very first time.  Many "thank-yous" go out to Proctor & Gamble for paying tribute to our mothers in this intimate advertisement.  Be warned.. you may shed a tear.

The Woes of Being a Bad Parent - The Chocolate Egg

God bless this poor kid's heart.  He trusted his daddy would give him a delicious chocolate candy called an OVO, made by Kinder.  

Well... 

He didn't get a chocolate egg.  Ohhh, "The Woes of Being a Bad Parent." Or not?

I'll be honest, I laughed at the video, but then stopped as I saw the kid crying and crying.  I can't count the number of times I grew up facing these type of scenarios.  Especially from most of my male cousins.  It's hard to say once a bully, always a bully, because I believe people can change. But there's a limit to what we can do.  We grow up trusting our moms and dads, look to them for nourishment and guidance, and never expect them to betray us.

What do you think? Should you troll your child? Do you think it's okay if it's only done once?

I think if you do it once, then leave it at that and explain to the child what you just did.  But if you continuously do it throughout their life, I truly believe deep scars will be made, that you wish you hadn't inflicted upon them.

Cyanide and Happiness: Asked

OMG, this is freaking hilarious!! How many times have you heard your parents say, "This is going to hurt me more than it does you."  And I thought my mom was the only one who used that phrase. LMAO!

The Joys of Being a Parent: Remember Mummy, The Light Is Your Friend!

OMG!  This was f-ing hilarious!!  Ah, The Joys of Being a Parent. LMAO.  If you're a parent - you definitely want to see this, if you're not - you'll want to anyway.  

This 6-yr-old kid walks into his parents' bedroom in the morning and finds something he shouldn't have seen...

The following video was submitted for a Young Director Award being held in Paris on June 21st.  A definite "must watch".

Facebook Shooting Father & CPS

Back in February I posted a video of a father who scolded his daughter by destroying her laptop.  And it wasn't just a simple disassembling of the device, he did it by shooting the crap out of it.  LOL.  If you don't remember, you can see the video here.

Well ever since that happened, Mr. Tommy Jordan has welcomed guests to his humble home; Child Protective Services and ABC Good Morning America to name a few.
“Yes they came. Of course they came,” Jordan exclaimed. “They received enough ‘Oh my God he’s going to kill his daughter’ comments that they had to.”

“At the end of the day, no I’m not losing my kids, no one’s in danger of being ripped from our home that I know of,” he added.
According to the article I read this morning, A CBS poll found that 78 percent of the public agreed with the Father's actions, 10 percent felt he went too far by shooting the laptop, and the remaining 12 percent thought that the way someone acts as a parent is nobody's business. What do you think? Did the father react appropriately? What would you've done differently?

Mother of the Year X 2

Why have I bestowed Krista Tillman "Mother of the Year times 2"?  Because she understands what most ignorant people don't, that people are going to leave your cities.  And because she's a loving, doting mother to a son who happens to be gay.  But it isn't just the fact that she's an understanding mother.  She's a dean of a college in North Carolina, and knows what she's talking about.  If these REDs keep going to the extreme far right on their issues, they will never understand the economic impact that will hinder their states in the future.

You may think that Texas is a Republican state, but it's only Republican because we have all those small tiny towns all over the state who hate everyone who's not white.  Little do they know, people have been leaving their small towns and relocating to cities that are more accepting - like Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio.  Watch this short 3 minute video - it's good.

Saturday Morning Coffee Break: The Wedding Dance

If you haven't had your coffee this morning, go grab a cup, and come back to watch this short film.  It was absolutely amazing.  I have been wanting to share this video since it was released last month, but I needed to find the right time.  And today's the perfect day.  So, even if you don't drink coffee I hope you enjoy today's Saturday Morning Coffee Break.  Oh, and grab your tissue box too.

On Valentine's Day last month, Elliot London, a 31-yr old director trying to make it in Hollywood, released this three-minute film titled, "The Wedding Dance".  It has a surprise ending and truly hits close to home for so many Gay Americans.  You can read more about Elliot on his Vimeo page and learn more about his dreams and aspirations to help the LGBT community.  Learn about his growing up poor, being an only child, and terrified of the day when his fellow classmates would find out his deepest, darkest secret - that he was gay.

I'm here wishing you great success Elliot, and hope your dreams come true. ~ Peter aka Blade7184

If you wish to look back at some previous issues, click my logo below and enjoy.  Make sure to check out Saturday Morning Coffee Break every Saturday for another classic or current gay short film.
