War of the Roses - Rosie & Frank

It's time for the next segment of War of the Roses (Roula & Ryan's Roses).  

Once again, If you're not familiar with the "War of the Roses", then I suggest you read up on my first issue, here.  I wrote a detailed description on how it actually works.

In this morning's call, Roula took the role of Catherine from a Human Resources department of the deceived.

Responding to an email from Rosie, Roula and Ryan ask the caller a few questions before proceeding with their call to Frank, Rosie's boyfriend of 2 years.  She states that Frank recently got hired with a big company which is garnering him a buttload of money.  So much money, that she feels his attitude has changed.  She says that she sleeps over at his apartment about 3 nights a week, which she feels would have changed over the years to where she could be there 7 nights a week, but that has never happened. She also says that Frank was reluctant to give her a key, but he finally gave her one.

A few nights ago Rosie went over to his apartment and noticed that it was a huge mess, like a party had taken place.  There were bottles of champagne, 2 glasses, and a bed that looked like it had been slept in, and not just slept in..., if you get my drift.  And to make matters even worse, she smelt perfume on him about a week ago, and called him up on that too.  He responded by saying that it may have been when he was walking by a kiosk at the mall.  Really Frank, Really?

What do you think?  Did he send the Roses to Rosie, or did he send them to someone else?

Listen to the battle down below...

OMG Hilarious! - "You Baby Murdering Tramp"

OH. MY. GOD! This was hilarious as shit! No. Hilarious as Hell! Oh Dammit! It was fucking funny, okay?

Courtesy of Funny or Die.com, Nancy Grace reacts to the Casey Anthony verdict in the most un-becoming way.  You may recall last month I posted a video of Bill Maher berating poor 'ol Nancy, but I'm sorry, this woman is nuts.  Who wouldn't want to tape her mouth shut? 

Okay, that was wrong, but still...

OMG Hilarious! - The Perfect Excuse

What a Hot Mess: That Must Have Been One Sexy Sink

Don't ask me what type of sink it was, or how it bloody happened, one thing is certain... this is one hot mess!

According to AOL Travel and the Daily Mail, police are searching for a British guy who was having sex with a girl in the bathroom of a luxury yacht.  No, they are not looking for him because he was cheating on his wife (my assumption), they are looking for him, because they have a few questions for him.  Yep, some 28-year old woman severed her hand while having hot, passionate sex over a bathroom sink with this mysterious man...

'It appears they were engaged in a passionate act in the bathroom where at some stage the sink broke - leaving a jagged edge that severed the woman's hand when she fell to the floor.

'The woman almost died, and was only saved after she was airlifted to hospital where doctors managed to reattach the severed limb.

'It had been left attached by a small amount of skin.

'We believe it was probably an accident but the British man has fled and the New Zealand girl is understandably hard to speak to at the moment.

'We want to track him down to find out his side of the story.'

Really?  Was the guy that damn hot she had to have sex with him on top of a sink?  My theory is... the mysterious guy was in a cabin with his wife and children, when the cleaning lady stopped by.  The only place they could find was the cabin bathroom, or the bathroom down the hall.  What A Hot Mess!

The Video Game Marching Band

Let's see... this was shot in 2007, so most of you were still in high school or in your twenties.  Regardless of the year, the Cal vs. Stanford game produced a marching band performance so spectacular, it was absolutely fantastic! 

The Cal Band's halftime performance was based on a video game theme that featured games in the likes of Tetris, Mortal Kombat, Mario, and more.  It's times like these that make me really miss High School and College.

Flying Macbook Air

Because everyone wants one... The sky's the limit.

"The Apple Macbook Air is lighter than ever and can even fly. All the features of the Macbook Air are now more exciting when the laptop can fly."

Cover Wars 6

I can't believe it's been a month since my last Cover Wars post, but after listening to Adele's CD on my way to work this morning, I had to feature a Cover War using another one of her songs.  You may recall my very first issue featured Adele's "Rolling In The Deep."

Once again, it was a very difficult decision to make, so I went with only the guys for this battle.  The girls were fantastic, but I can only do so much. Maybe I will feature them at a later time, but for now, the war is on...

These are the top 6 guys I felt did an awesome job of covering Adele's, "Someone Like You."  Sean Rumsey, Abraham Lim, Eli Lieb, Benjamin, Chris Kennedy from The Shures, and Nick Gardner

The contest ends next Thursday, August 11, and the winner will receive a Cover Wars Gold Record that I will personally email them.  It's not an actual vinyl record, but a recognition award just for being on my blog, so your vote is really important.

 

 

Cover Wars 4 - Winner

Isn't This The Truth? Circle The One God Loves Most...

It's truly sad, but isn't this the truth?  I love God as most Americans do, but when we let religion dictate how we should love, or who we should accept in our lives, we are truly not being who He wants us to be.  God is Love... wake up, you overzealous people!

Are People Really This Stupid?

Watching this video was nothing like watching this one from two weeks ago.  This video actually made me sweat and shake with fear.  

I compare this idiot climbing without ropes and harnesses, as me climbing the side of a building using a ladder without hands.  Nah, scratch that.

It's like me jumping from a plane without a parachute. Yeah, that's more like it.  Geezus, either this guy, Alex Honnold has got balls of steel, or he's just plain stupid.  Aye, Aye, Aye.

OMG Hilarious! - Clown Car

Isn't This The Truth? There's a Special Place In Hell For...

I found these online and thought they were absolutely hilarious.  How many times have you stood in line at the grocery store, only to see the person at the front of the line walk away to grab one more item?  Hundreds for me, and that's the truth!

Or how about the dog owner who doesn't pick up their dog's poop?  Especially from my yard!  Yeah, there's a special place for you.  You... you...

Must Watch: Lonny

And you thought reality shows were all fun and games.  Not until you've seen Lonny.  

"So what" if you've missed a few episodes... this video will catch you up on what you've been missing.

Make sure to continue watching after the credits...

Honk for Grandma

This is wrong on so many levels.  But hilariously funny at the same time. Sorry :-) :-(

My Sister's Baby Shower Was A Success!

My sister's Baby shower over the weekend was a great success!  Thanks to her dear friends, Denise, Sandra, and her husband Richard.  Also many, many kudos to my family, including our cousins, Ray, Leo, and my brother-in-law, Luther who helped cook all day long on Friday.  And finally, a special thanks to the countless others who provided food, and helped with the clean-up afterwards.

As promised, the diaper cake I created for my sister's baby shower is in the video below.  It should transition from beginning to end, every 3 seconds or so.

Blade's Box of Jams: Track #2 - Set Fire To The Rain

I'm turning on my headphones, and currently listening to...

Ryan and I are catching up on our shows from last week, and one of my favorite performances of the night was SYTYCD's Jordan and Jess dancing to Adele's, "Set Fire To The Rain."  While most of the judges, including Lady Gaga were critical of their performance, I was very sad to see them go.  Especially when I felt there were others who were not worthy enough to go through.

It's Purely Animal - Issue No. 24 - Climb Biscuit Climb!

I don't know what it is about Jack Russell Terriers, but Lord have mercy on them. They can do everything from climbing trees, like Toby here, to rock climbing like Biscuit in the video below. Geezus!

Isn't This The Truth? Zombie vs. Baby

Hmmm, I never thought of it this way, but it actually makes sense.  Zombies have the same characteristics as babies.  The Messy eater, no sense of right and wrong, bent on destruction, keeps you awake at night in fear, and can turn others into a zombie. Isn't this the truth?  LOL.  My sister will be finding this out soon enough.

Spider-Man: Reality or Fiction?

OMG, I'm LMFAO over here! Well, maybe I shouldn't be laughing so hard.  I do have friends who have gotten bit by spiders, and it wasn't a pretty sight..  What would really happen if a spider bit you?  You've got to watch this, it is absolutely hilarious.

OMG Hilarious! - Summer

Gay Ads That Matter - Issue No. 006 - Come As You Are

I honestly didn't realize it had been over 2 months since I posted an issue of "Gay Ads That Matter," until today, when I came across an ad that was released by McDonald's back in 2010.  There was a lot of controversy over this ad, primarily from Republicans, and the conservative right.  Fox News' O'Reilly went all psychotic on it.

I remember posting this ad on Facebook about a year ago, and it's titled "Come As You Are."  The reason why it matters, is because it features a young guy, either in high school or college, eating in a McDonald's restaurant with his dad, who doesn't know that his son is gay.  While the video doesn't say he's gay per se, it does imply it by having the boy talking to a classmate while looking at a class photo of  an all boys school. At the end of the commercial, it confirms it by saying, "Come As You Are."

The brand director of McDonald's in France had this to say...

"We wanted to take a look at how French society is today. We're very comfortable with the topic of homosexuality, there is obviously no problem with homosexuality in France today". While the statement sounds a bit naive in a country where same sex couples cannot legally marry nor adopt, the idea was to give a positive image of the brand: "The point was not to show someone who is troubled, especially a teenager. We know it can be difficult for some people, but we wouldn't have dared show someone who is struggling".

I commend McDonald's for doing this commercial; I only wish they would have made an American version.  Until then, we'll only get the ones that will make fun of who we are.  Especially around Super Bowl time.

Fireproof Granchild

I went to get a drink around 4:30 am and the whole living room was as hot as balls. LMAO. That was priceless!

Isn't This The Truth? Mail, Email, Mail

Remember the time when we used to get mail?  Yeah, the kind that looked like some type of rectangular-shaped paper object with a sticker on it?  Yes, we'd get all excited about that. 

Isn't This The Truth?

Then came the email revolution and it pretty much wiped out the U.S. Postal service.  No, really, it has.... they are thinking of closing over 3,600 post offices across the country, in the next year or so.

In either case, it's now gotten to the point where we get so much email that it goes unread for days at a time. Whenever I take off from work, I have returned to find a gazillion emails in my inbox - it's frustrating.  I get so tired of email that when I get home, I look forward to finding some type of "real" mail in my mailbox.  Those were the days. LOL.

Foods That Will Make You Fat - Issue No. 16

Go ahead, as yourself, "Why the hell am I fat?"  Oh.... because you just finished eating a MoFo "Meat Ship!"  As if any of my previous issues of "Foods That Will Make You Fat" are any different.  Once again, here's the next issue of foods that will make you barf.  Seriously, I could title this series many different ways.

Baconnaise

Okay, first things first, anyone who would buy this jar of crap is out of a job and hurting for some real hard-earned bacon (cash).  The economy must have hit them real hard, otherwise they'd be out buying some Grey Poupon.  Hell, I'd be buying me some dollar store mayonnaise before I touched a spoon of this shit. Make me barf now!

Chicago Deep Dish Pizza

Ahhh, the sound of a Dominoes Deep Dish pizza sounds real good right about now.  Scratch that!  After taking a look at this disgusting picture I don't think I ever want to see a pizza again!  OMG, they might as well have called this the heart-attack pizza.

Meat Ship

Anything that would have 20 sausages, 48 slices of bacon, 1.2 lbs of sausage meat, 1kg of pork mince, 10 franks, 1 lb. of pastry, 1 onion, 1 mushroom, 2 packets of chipolata sausages, various food colourings, and some sage has got to be out of their fucking mind!  Seriously, they outta lock you up and throw away the key.  A meat ship? Really? That is unbelievably disgusting!  If this doesn't put you on a diet, I don't know what will.

Blade's Box of Jams: Track #1 - All Yr Songs

I'm so excited to introduce a new series to my blog, Blade's Box of Jams.  From time to time I like to turn-on my headphones at work, and listen to some music.  Today is no exception, I'm currently listening to Diamond Rings' "All Yr Songs."   

Before I created my blog, BLADE 7184 in January, I posted this video on Facebook, and vividly remember writing that the lead singer may seem strange to most people, but I absolutely love him.

John O’Regan's voice, the group, and the music remind me so much of the glam rockers from the 80's; David Bowie, Culture Club, Erasure, The Pet Shop Boys, the list goes on.

A Slice of My Sister's Diaper Cake!

This past weekend I worked on my sister's Diaper Cake for her upcoming baby shower extravaganza, and I'd have to say I outdid myself - it turned out better than I thought it would be.  

I love my sister, Victoria, so very much, and Ryan and I can't wait to be there to share in the festivities with her and her husband Luther.

On Sunday evening, I sent my sister a text with a "slice of the cake (pictured above)," and asked if she wanted to see the whole thing.  Needless to say, she was beside herself, and responded by texting, "OMG Peter! I'm going to cry.  It looks awesome.  NO! I want to be surprised. LoL"

I will post pictures of the diaper cake after the shower this friday.  If you want to see the final product before then, you can email me directly at blade.7184.x@gmail.com

X-TREME MACHINES: Sentinel Mod5 MarkC PI

I have posted this because I know how much my partner, Ryan will love it.  I didn't grow up watching X-Men, I grew up watching He-man and She-ra, LOL.  In either case, Ryan is having me watch the X-men animated series, and he's talked about these robotic creatures before - the Sentinels!  Click the image to check out all the cool stuff.

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words - Issue No. 6

click to enlarge

In order to grasp at what the artist is trying to convey, you have to enlarge the picture of his self-portrait, "Facing My Dreams."  If "A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words," this is it.  The artist, who goes by the name hworangi107, is a graphic designer currently living in Chicago.  

When I read the words that make up this typography, it takes us back to a time when we were teenagers, or still are, and the wishes our fathers have for us.  But it wasn't about what dreams our parents had for us, it was about "OUR" dreams that we wanted to fulfill.  

We hear stories, read books, or watch movies about this sort of thing, aka "Dead Poet's Society."  We want to make our dad happy by becoming a doctor, when in reality, we want to be an actor.  Or like in the reality show, Master Chef, that Ryan and I are currently watching.  Many of the amateur cooks who want to win this competition, are professionals who have always wanted to follow their dreams of becoming a chef.  I'm talking about doctors, lawyers, and accountants here.

"We all have dreams, we all have wishes, but it's facing them that will make our future."

With The Heat Comes The Dried Up Lakes and Rising Utility Bills

Still think it's not global warming?  Check out this picture of a Catfish decaying in a dried up lake in San Angelo Texas, on Monday.  

Things are getting pretty bad.  When my water bill is hovering around $179.00 and my A/C rounding up around $400.00  in one month, we have some serious problems.  Our land is getting scorched at an all time high.  Indices this week will be between 105 - 110 degrees according to CNN, some even as high as 112, like in Killeen, TX.

It's so bad I overheard some people wishing for Hurricanes the other day.  They feel that if a hurricane comes ashore, we can get all the rain that comes with them; that's desperation folks.

The Woes of Being a Bad Parent - Woman Locks Two Babies In Car

Okay, so maybe she isn't a bad parent.  Well...  I don't know, this is a tuff one.

On the one hand, it was an accident.  How many times have you locked yourself out inadvertently, whether it be a house, or car? I have, many times. So because of this, I have a spare key in my front pocket and one in my wallet. 

On the second hand, she's a parent of two precious babies, shouldn't she have had a spare key in her purse, or underneath the vehicle somewhere?  

In the video you're about to see, a mother locks her babies inside her car in the middle of our hot, scorching summer.  Worried that the locksmith will not make it in time, she asks some nearby skaters if they could help break a window in her car, but after several unsuccessful attempts, a man comes by and breaks it for her instead.  The video contains vulgar language not suitable for the workplace.  Put your headphones on. :-)

Quoted - Adele on Amy Winehouse

May She Rest in Peace

"Not many people have it in them to do something they love, simply because they love it. with no fuss and no compromise. but she knew what she was capable of and didn’t even need to try. if she wanted to do something she would and if she didn’t she’d say fuck off. it came easy to her and that’s why we all loved her so much. we believed every word she wrote, and it would sink in deep when she sang them. Amy paved the way for artists like me and made people excited about british music again whilst being fearlessly hilarious and blase about the whole thing. i don’t think she ever realised just how brilliant she was and how important she is, but that just makes her even more charming. although im incredibly sad about Amy passing im also reminded of how immensely proud of her i am as well. and grateful to be inspired by her. Amy flies in paradise xx"

X-men Were Born That Way

Yes, according The Warp Zone, the X-Men were born that way.  

There's a new music video parody out, and this time around it's the X-Men dancing and singing to a rendition of Lady Gaga's, "Born This Way."  

The video starts off with the lyrics appearing at the bottom of the screen, "It doesn't matter if you love men, or the X-MEN" and then goes on to say, "Just put you're claws up.. cause baby... you were born that way..."  Absolutely hilarious.  "I'm a mutant not gay, I think God made a mistake, but I'm an X-Man baby, I was born this way"
