The Gizmodo Fireworks Atlas

I guess Gizmodo has it somewhat right.  LMAO.  Especially the states where it's categorized, "If someone wanted to pour a cup of gunpowder into a tin can and explode it, it's probably okay."  Only in Texas, baby! LOL

OMG Hilarious! - Lawnmower

Happy 4th of July!

May you all have a safe and happy 4th of July.  Be careful with your fireworks if you're in an area that can use them.  I know that in my home state of Texas, no one is allowed to pop any, due to the extreme weather conditions and severe drought.  Well... I'm sure we can pop them, if we want to go to jail.

 

Addicted to Cheesy Potatoes

No, this is not my next issue of "Foods That Will Make You Fat".  This is something totally different.

Have any of you ever heard of the show "Freaky Eaters"?  Yeah, me neither.

Wait a minute... isn't this supposed to be The Learning Channel? Lord have mercy on me.

The show deals with people who have bizarre addictions to food and/or eating disorders. Each episode, like the BBC series, is titled with the words "Addicted to" and then whatever the food is. The show's first episode aired on September 5, 2010. psychotherapist Mike Dow and nutritionist J.J. Virgin host the show. - Wikipedia

I don't even know what to say.  Okay, maybe I do.  Some of us are addicted to certain types of food. My man, Ryan, bless is his heart, is addicted to anything sweet. I'm surprised he doesn't have cavities.

I can't believe I've missed all these glorious episodes, "Addicted to Maple Syrup," "Addicted to Meat," "Addicted to Liquids," "Addicted to Tartar Sauce," "Addicted to Ice Cream Bars," and "Addicted to French Fries".

In the video below, a 34-year-old woman is "Addicted to Cheesy Potatoes".  OMG, I love cheesy tater tots from Sonic!!!!

She says in the video she doesn't want people to know, how much she's "consuming".  Really?  I'm sorry to break it to you, hon, but everybody knows about it now, including your co-workers.

Poster of the Week - Issue No. 19 - Doubt

Continuing alphabetically, I bring you this week's poster, "Doubt".

Michele Bachmann's Story of America

I'm sorry, but we all know this woman is nuts!  On Tuesday night's show, Jimmy Kimmel presented us with a look of American History through the eyes of Michele Bachmann.  And the outcome was hilarious!  But ohhh, so very true.

In recent weeks, she's been creating her own version of American History, or how it should have been.  Furthermore, she doesn't do her research before giving a speech.  Case and point; she should have "Googled" her information, so that before she compared herself to John Wayne (the cowboy actor), she would've made sure not to compare herself to John Wayne Gacy (the serial killer).

C'mon people, is this the woman you want running our country?  She thinks that our founding fathers didn't own any slaves.  Do we really have to go there?

Jimmy Kimmel has got it right, check it out here.

If You're Straight, Don't Be Narrow

It seems like just yesterday, when I blogged about the Straight But Not Narrow campaign.  At the time I felt a project like this could never help people understand.  But I've had a change of heart since then, and commend the gorgeous Avan Jogia for starting this up. Besides, it's about "dudes talking to dudes, about dudes who like dudes," right?

In March, it was the beautiful Josh Hutcherson who came out in support of SBNN, but this time around, it's our beloved Glee actor, Cory Montieth aka Finn.  If it's anyone who knows about the struggles we face everyday, it's him.  He plays the step-brother to an actor who's gay in real-life and on the show, Kurt Hummel.

As Cory, states in the video...

"Sooo, maybe you like to play football, maybe you like to sing and dance, maybe you like both, maybe you don't like either, it doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter. Just be yourself, just be you, because that's good enough for me. We're guys, talking to guys, about guys, who like guys."

We love you Cory, thanks for being straight, but not narrow-minded!

 

OMG Hilarious! - You Are What You Eat

Forever Our Wonder Woman!

If there's one thing conservatives hate, it's celebrities who have supported us us through the years. But what they really, really despise, is when they are as iconic as Lynda Carter. You are Forever Our Wonder Woman!

Wonder Woman, Lynda Carter, with Wonder Girl @ Gay Pride NY, 2011

The Six Degrees of Johnny Depp

So can you figure out all the iconic roles Johnny Depp has played over the years?  I bet you can't. :-)

Splitscreen: A Love Story

Unbelievably beautiful is all I can say about this video.  Actually, I can say many other great things, but at the moment I am drawn to the complexity of the art that fell upon me, that I can't think of what else to say.

This short film was shot entirely on a Nokia mobile phone.  It was so creative, writer and director, JW Griffiths became the winner at this year's Nokia Shorts Competition.

GRNDR Has You Beat

If you thought your city had the most GRNDR users, think again.  You know who I'm talking about.  I'm talking to all you horny boys out there who can't get enough man-meat out of their day, so they go to their cell phones to tap on their GRNDR application.

You heard me.  Better yet, you read that.

Back in the "olden" days (90's), we used to go out clubbing, go to a library to read a book, or simply just hang out with our friends at a park.  Within a matter of time you'd run into this really cute boy, and tried to find a way to go up to him. You'd talk, chat on AIM or Yahoo Instant Messenger, or maybe, just maybe, write him a letter.  Then you'd hook up with them.

Today, that is too much trouble, we don't have time for all that.  So what is gay boy to do?  Use their hook-up app to find a guy, and sometimes find them only a few feet away.  And being the horny dogs that gay boys are, they hook-up once, twice, or three times a day.  With the same person of course. *coughs*  Some of the guys are ridiculously hot though.

In either case, GRNDR has reached a milestone this week, it now has 2 million users in over 192 countries. Wait, do we have that many countries?  With the addition of the iPad, Android, and Blackberry, GRNDR has now become the top hook-up app in the world.

And you're not alone, because these cities down below are the top 10 cities in the world when it comes to GRNDR usage. Sorry Houston, you didn't make the list.  I'm sure being the good, Christian boys you all are, you refuse to take part in such blasphemous activity.  *coughs again*

• 1. London
  
• 2. New York
  
• 3. Paris
  
• 4. Sydney
  
• 5. Singapore
  
• 6. Melbourne
  
• 7. Los Angeles
  
• 8. San Francisco
  
• 9. Hong Kong
  
• 10. Taipei

Our Secret Garden - Summer - July 2011

Ryan and I moved into our home in the summer of 2006, and the yard was one of the things that was in need of major repair.

I have worked on it daily over the span of 5 years,  fertilizing, tilling, re-seeding, and planting to get our yard looking beautiful.

The backyard we call "Our Secret Garden" is a paradise I created for Ryan, the love of my life.

As you watch the slideshow, you will notice a Koi Pond, (something Ryan has always wanted), a pool that I made for myself (because I always need to cool down when I'm working outside during the hot summer months), a small house, (where I do all my crafts and projects; yes, it  has an AC and a heater), a small vegetable garden, a memorial for our pets who have passed away, and finally a hammock to relax after a long hard day.

"I often think it's so surreal, and when I look back at all that I've accomplished in such a short period of time, it only strengthens my belief that I could never do this for anyone other than my man - He is the breath of me." 

- Peter aka Blade

I chose "Ocean Size Love" by Leigh Nash, because it was a song I remember listening to when Ryan and I moved into our home. The ocean being the largest body of water, and so vast, this is how our love is - Ocean Size!

The Staples Con-artist

This is hilarious as hell.  How many times have you gone to the store after work still dressed in a shirt and tie, and a customer comes up to you and asks, "excuse me, do you know where the duct tape is at?"

It's happened to me Hundreds of times!  

Hell, I sometimes go in my grungy clothes, and they think I'm a Wal-mart mechanic.  Ugh. I hate them! LOL

In either case, Jon Benjamin of Comedy Central decides to have a little fun with this, and OMG, I'm so going to pull this shit at Wal-mart, or maybe a restaurant. LOL. this would be genius!

Post Secret Fridays - Issue 066

PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a postcard.

-----Email-----
God isn't the one who is lost; we all are. God is where He always is... we need to stop trying to "find God" and instead rid ourselves of the things that we use to hide from God.

-----Email-----
I was so deeply offended that someone would assume that it is one's fault that they feel void of God's presence. It is the worst thing to be told when you are so desperately trying to feel something that once seemed to be ever present, and then one morning is just gone.

OMG Hilarious! - More Chemicals

 

Concealed Cruelty!

If you never want to eat pork again, then watch this video.  Seriously, you will never think of asking for Bacon for your burgers, frying them up on breakfast morning, or making bacon-wrapped Jalapenos on July 4th.  

On Wednesday, I saw the video you're about to see, and I haven't been able to write about it for the past few days, because of the images seared into my mind.  It was one of the most horrendous things I have ever seen.  If you thought Human Centipede was bad, or maybe even those terrible movies, like Hostel or Saw; this video puts those movies to shame.  This is real life folks.

Mercy for Animals, an animal rights group, released footage of some pig abuse going on at a company called, "Iowa Select," an industrial farm that supplies pork to Krogers, Safeway and Costco.  In the video you will see workers, snap off tails from little baby piglets and castrate them without any anesthetic.  You'll watch as they toss and throw them around like footballs.  I mean, the video is the most graphic and disgusting thing you'll ever see.  You see abscesses due to infections, and "skin is flayed away from painful-looking open sores, revealing bone, muscle and pus underneath."

I don't even know where to begin with this, but these people need to be held accountable.  I understand life has to go on, but I'm sure there are some more humane ways of handling these pigs.  Pigs are pigs, I know that, but caring for them as they grow up is important.  Proper care can be provided by hiring more people if you have to... it's the economy stupid.

I'm warning you, don't watch this if you have a queasy stomach, and throw-up easily.

Back In The Day - 80's Shorts

Yeah, back in the day, guys would wear short, shorts like this, and everyone would swoon - Trust me,  girls and boys alike.  I mean, what's hotter than watching a guy's muscular thighs, calves, glistening sweat, and those hidden bulges?

Tanning: Expectations vs. Reality

I believe when you lay out in the sun for a tan, these are your...

But... if I'm correct, this is what happens in...

Gay Movies to Watch: Eating Out - Drama Camp

Yay!!! I'm so excited for the 4th installment of Eating Out!!  

Eating Out: Drama Camp brings back the unbelievably gorgeous Chris Salvatore, and Daniel Skelton in their respective roles, Zack & Casey.  The movie will also introduce us to a whole new crop of delicious man-meat, including "Make Me a Supermodel" contestant Ronnie Kroell as Beau, and "Big Brother's" Steven Daigle as Connor.

My partner, Ryan doesn't like these movies, but I simply adore them! Yes, Q. Allan Brocka doesn't spend $500,0000 to make an Oscar-winning movie, but who cares! “Shakespere didn’t have cum shots.”  He's playing to us gays, and I absolutely commend him for it!  Though, most straight people do love watching gay movies, and gay shows.

This next movie, will have Zack & Casey enrolling in Dick Dickey's Drama Camp, where you guessed it... drama ensues.  When Casey finds out Zack has been cast in the show, "The Taming of the Shrew," alongside Benji (whom he despises), Casey takes matters into his own hands, literally :-).  Does this spell "The End" for Zack & Casey?  We'll have to wait and see...

OMG Hilarious! - Inflatable

The Voice Crowns It's First Winner

And the winner is....  

Really? Do I have to go there?  

Ugh, as I have stated all season, Javier Colon does nothing for me - he is just more of the same.  So instead of going for someone amazing and really outrageous, like Beverly, Dia, or Vicci, America chooses Javier?  And to think that only 2 percent of the votes separated the top two, is mind-boggling to me.  What a Hot Mess!  I'm sorry America, but you always get it wrong! Always!

About the only good thing about last night's results show, were the duets the finalists sung with people other than their coaches.  Beverly McClellan sang, "Good Life" with Ryan Tedder from One Republic, Dia Frampton sang, "The House That Built Me" with Blake Shelton's wife, Miranda Lambert, Vicci Martinez sang, "Drops of Jupiter" with Pat Monahan, the lead singer from Train, and Javier Colon sang, "Landslide" (how fitting) with Stevie Nicks.

Other than that, you can catch the Top 8 contestants, Xenia Martinez, Nakia, Frenchie Davis, Casey Weston, Javier, Dia, Beverly, and Vicci, as they kick off their summer tour in Los Angeles on July 27th.  Regardless of the ouctome, Ryan and I really did like the show, and we're looking forward to the second season in 2012.

Feel free to watch last night's duets after the jump if you're interested. Their coaches really did say some nice things to their young artists. Enjoy!

I Quote That - Sometimes Reasons Suck

Female Armor Sucks

Ever notice how female characters in video games hardly ever have any body armor, unlike their male counterparts?

What a Hot Mess: Holy Exploding Eyeballs, Batman!

And people ask why I don't like going to the doctor, especially dentists and eye doctors!  Well, this is the reason why...

Imagine going to see your eye doctor, and he says to you, "Oh Billy Bob, it looks like you may need cataract surgery."

Okay, it doesn't sound too bad, right?  If it's going to help you see a little better, why not?  Mr. Jose Goncalves agreed, and before he knew it, his eye had exploded.  Well, not in that particular order, but far worse.

So Mr. Jose goes in for this fairly common procedure, when the resident doctor treating him didn't administer the anesthetic properly.  Instead of injecting the drug into the back of his eye like he's supposed to, he injects it directly into his eyeball.  And since, it didn't seem to be working like it should, he stops administering it...NOT!!!  Instead, he injects him with even more anesthetic, until his eye simply explodes!  Yeah, you read that right, EXPLODED!

Supposedly the resident doctor's training was "seriously inadequate."*coughs* no shit Sherlock - what a Hot Mess! Literally!

“It is clear that Dr. Wang’s training was seriously inadequate,” Bernard said. “This should have been a routine procedure as it is for countless people every day. When proper techniques are used, this particular complication should never occur.”

“Jose suffered excruciating pain after that botched surgery and continued to have severe pain for months afterward,” Bernard said. “The damage to the eye is obvious because his iris is missing and his eyelid droops. If anything should ever happen to the undamaged left eye, he could face total blindness.”

What did Jose get out of all this? Nearly $1 million dollars from the Department of Veterans Affairs.  He was a 60-year-old Army veteran.

Back In The Day - Cola Classic Through The Years

I think they forgot to add the plastic bottle to the equation.  I will say this, there was nothing better than drinking Coca Cola out of a glass bottle.  No taste could compare.  Agreed?

Little Nicky

Awww how sweet is this, cutie patootie, Nick Jonas (you know? the young muscular stud you see here in the escalator), took his 11-yr old brother, Frankie, to see Cars 2 in California over the weekend. 

According to nickjonline he said, "I think for this particular competition, I have to keep it in the mind-set of young artists at this moment, so I’d say, like, somebody with the overall star power and star qualities of Willow Smith, with the artistry of a Greyson Chance, who is really talented, and then – I’m trying to think – like a really little Nick Jonas!"

What a hottie, I mean what a sweetie. :-)

Mind-Boggling News: Man Faces 10 years in Prison and Up To a $10,000 Fine

So... I'm reading the Houston Chronicle this morning when I read the most mind-boggling news ever!  No, really.  

Long story short, a man got pulled over by a cop early Tuesday morning for having no headlights on (been there, done that), and he noticed the man's face was bloody.  He looked outside the vehicle, and noticed his front windshield was caved in.

I know what you're thinking... blah, blah, blah, we've heard that before.  Well, get this...

The cop also saw a body on the passenger seat, partially under the dashboard, along with a severed leg.  So you can just imagine the shock the cop must have felt, because I'm in shock just writing this.  Jesus.

According to the investigation, the man struck a 32-year old man whose ford explorer had broken down on the side of the road, and continued to drive 3 miles before he was pulled over.  The missing leg was later found at the site of the explorer.

Furthermore, the Police said the driver told the deputy he had hit something on the freeway and that he didn't know the victim was in the passenger seat beside him.

This is just horrible, our hearts and prayers go out to both families.

The driver now faces 10 years in prison, and up to a $10,000 fine.  Pretty steep, don't you think???
