“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.

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 - - - - - - - - - - -

Blade's Box of Jams: Track #5 - Moves Like Jagger

Currently listening to... 

Maroon 5 featuring Christina Aguilera


Definitely one of the best hits of the summer!  I first heard "Moves Like Jagger" on NBC when Adam Levine and Christina Aguilera did a collaboration together on the hit show, The Voice.  More often than naught, you would find them bickering at each other; Who knew they would make a good team? 

I really liked the song then, and it has been one of my favorites this summer, hope you enjoy it too.

Movies to Watch: Margin Call

"SOMETHING BIG IS GOING DOWN!"
Wanna know what really happened on Wall Street over the 24-hour period during the early stages of the financial crisis?  Watch this trailer to Margin Call, and you'll be surprised.  Based on true stories and true events, the movie boasts actors such as Jeremy Irons, Zachary Quinto, Kevin Spacey, Penn Badgley, Stanley Tucci, Demi Moore.  Seriously, the list goes on and on with fabulous actors.
Earlier in the year, Ryan and I watched the HBO movie, Too Big To Fail, and it was exceptionally great.  It "tells the minute-by-minute, seat-of-the-pants story of how Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson (William Hurt) tries to wrangle the arrogant CEOs of the giant financial institutions into compromise in order to prevent worldwide depression." I can't say it any better than Linda Stasi here:
They cheat. They steal. They lie. They leave hardworking families homeless. They undermined the entire economy of the United States for their own personal greed. They don't go to jail and still get billions in bonuses. Who are they? They are the Wall Street SOBs who brought the US to its knees, that's who. Too bad to be true? No -- too bad to be fake.
I think Margin Call will be equally as good, really looking forward to it.  Check out the trailer here:

Isn't This The Truth? Redneck vs. Baby

LMAO, remember my Isn't This The Truth post from a couple of weeks ago, Zombie vs. Baby?  If you do or don't, it doesn't matter; You will definitely get a kick out of this one.  

This time it's the Redneck characteristics that are found in babies you never knew existed.

LOL, Isn't This The Truth?

The Creation of the Stormtrooper Helmet

This is pretty cool... well if you're a Star Wars fan it's really, really cool!  

Take a break and watch this fascinating video below.  

Andrew Ainsworth, the creator of the original Stormtrooper helmet, filmed himself making one from start to finish.  I thoroughly enjoyed the video, and I think you will too.

Kid Tested, Parent Approved

Absolutely fabulous! I love this kid...

A young boy with two dads sent a letter to General Mills informing them of their cereal, and rightly so. :-)  What if you don't have a mommy?



Are People Really This Stupid?

OMG, talk about my most annoying post ever!  Better yet, the most dumbest, stupidest post ever.  In the video below, a guy named Stephen goes on a tirade when a tattooist tries to ink him.  

The kid wanted a tattoo for his 18th birthday, but as soon as the tattooist continues his work, the boy starts screaming and yelling, telling the tattooist his hands are dirty; That he (the tattooist) is dirty, and tells him he doesn't like being touched.  Keep in mind, he's been there 3 hours already.  

When the tattooist starts to ink him again, he starts to scream off his lungs telling the tattooist that he's a freaking weirdo for touching him.  Towards the end of the video, he storms out and yells at his friend, "and Your'e Gay!"

Are people really this stupid?  Seriously?

So This Is The Plan...


Los Angeles Running on Empty

Everyone knows California is congested with people, and especially cars.  But what if you woke up in Los Angeles to find no vehicles whatsoever?  What would it look like?
The following video by Ross Ching is absolutely amazing.  Using his Canon 60D, he took his initial creation, "Running on Empty," and added music, coloring and opening shots.  It is really great, check it out below.

What a Hot Mess: Put Your Hands Up - I Have an AIDS-infected Needle !

Imagine going about your average day when a customer comes into your bank, or convenience store and tells you to put your hands up.  The first thing you do is oblige and do as they robber suggests, but what if he threatened you with an AIDS infected needle, or better yet, in a cupcake shop? Geezus what is this world coming to?!?!


I read about this three weeks ago while browsing the internet, and I'll tell you - nothing surprises me anymore.

According to the owner of the store, a man walked into a cupcake shop and demanded money from one of her employees. The robber told her he had a syringe full of AIDS-infected blood, and would inject her with it if she didn't oblige.  What a Hot Fucking Mess! Excuse my French, but supposedly he was a homeless man.  Is it possible that with the 11,000 homeless people in the Denver area, people are resorting to this type of behavior?

You can watch the news video below and read the article here.

"And The gods Shall Weep For Their Suffering!" - Spartacus

Gay or Straight, if you have not seen Spartacus, there is something seriously wrong with you.  If it's two things we all should watch in life, it's Dexter and Spartacus. LOL. These are both fantastic shows with large audiences consisting of  straight and gay folks.
The trailer to Spartacus: Vegeance was released while Ryan and I were in Corpus Christi, and this is the first time I've had the chance see it.

OMG, it's going to be so damn amazing!

You may recall back in February I had mentioned that Andy Whitfield the character who played Spartacus in both Spartacus: Gods of the Arena and Spartacus: Blood and Sand had succumbed to cancer.  He has since been recovering, but unfortunately was unable to return.


I will say this, the producers of the show did a fantastic job of finding Liam McIntyre.  He's just as hot as Whitfield, if not hotter.  And OMG, oh so strong.  

Ryan and I are super, uber excited!!! We can't wait, I cannot wait.  Watch the trailer below...

Blade's Box of Jams: Track #4 - Say Hey (I Love You)

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

Michael Franti & Spearhead


Ryan and I went to see two movies last night, The Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Captain America.  Both movies were fantastic!

Unfortunately, I've been unable to get a song out of my head.  It was from one of last night's preview trailers, and it just makes me really appreciate life.  

Every time I hear this song, it makes me realize how fortunate Ryan and I are to have such loving and caring people in our lives.  So to make your Sunday brighter, why don't we just, "Say Hey"?  

And tell someone you love them while you're at it!  Can I hear an Amen up in here? 

Spotted: Steven R McQueen on the set of Vampire Diaries

Is it me, or is Steven R McQueen getting hotter and hotter every year? Geezus! This boy has grown up quickly, and in every good way imaginable.  

Here he is on the set of Vampire Diaries (a show Ryan and I don't watch anymore), looking nothing like the gay boy from Everwood (I sure miss that show).

If you remember my earlier post, he was the shirt-lifter spotted at Comic Con last year.

Poster of the Week - Issue No. 23 - Fear

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

The Barfing Cup

So this is what fast-food restaurant employees are doing when they have nothing else to do at work.  I could be wrong, it could be a movie theater employee as well.

In either case, it looks like making barfing cups is their specialty, and with audio nonetheless. 

Come to think of it, this reminds me of me during my twenties, LOL.

I Quote That - Too Small

Chandler Massey Still In The Closet, True Story

Whoever is directing or producing this show is having a hell of a time filming Chandler Massey; I know I would :-).  I swear, he's so freaking delicious!  

Yes, Massey's character, "Will Horton" is still at the fictional lake in the fictional town of Salem, defending town the town Homo, Sonny.  All the while, pretending to have the hots for his girlfriend, Gabby

C'mon Days of Our Lives, stop teasing us with shirtless videos of Chandler every chance you get, and give us the real thing; Him making out with Sonny!
Trust me, these are new pics; they're always at that damn lake. What? I'm not complaining. :-)

OMG Hilarious! - Square Root

Are People Really This Stupid?

Looking like a video made from National Geographic, and set to music that provides much suspense, Tyler Bradt calls his mom and tells her that he hopes he can make it to dinner on the day he chose to take a plunge down a waterfall.

And it's not just any waterfall, it's the Palouse Falls in Washington, which is 186 feet high.

And why did Tyler take such a risk?  He wanted to break a world record kayaking off a waterfall.  Seriously?  Are people really this stupid?

Must Watch: Final Destination's Final Destination

This was pure genius!  LMAO!  The cast of Final Destination 5 have made a Final Destination parody that will have you on the floor laughing, singing, crying, whichever comes first. LOL

What makes it so hilarious is the fact that they re-created the set from "Saved by the Bell" to use as their theme.  The song is actually Miles Fisher's new track, "New Romance," and yes, it's catchy; even if everyone meets a fateful end.  Absolute genius, I say.

Western Diet vs. Low-Carb Diet

But how do the mice really feel?  According to a recent study, the mice fed with a high carbohydrate diet were predisposed to breast cancer compared to those who were on a low-carb diet.  

Seriously?  


I'm tired of all these damn studies that are going to cause me to die in a few years.  Geezus if I were to combine all the studies run in the past 3 months, I'd be dead within a matter of days.  Hell, with the addition of sitting in an office for 10 years and drinking tea at home, I'd be dead even sooner!

Blade's Box of Jams: Track #3 - If I Had Only Known

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

Reba McEntire


I was reading something about Reba as Ryan was walking out the door this morning, when he tells me, "I love you bunches."

Along with Dolly Parton, I have loved Reba since the beginning of time, and I don't know one gay boy who has never heard of this amazing artist.  Her songs are poignant, long lasting and heart enduring.  She wrote, "If I had Only Known" back in 1991 when she lost 8 of her band members in a plane crash.  It was such a heartbreaking time for her, and the rest of us who adored her so much.

Not one day goes by that I do not let Ryan know how much I love him.  You've heard me say it many times before, "he is the greatest treasure I have ever found."  I never want to say that "If I had only known," or that if today was the last day I'd see him, that I would have done things differently, because I have done everything any loving person could ever do.  And yes, I have tears running down my cheeks as I write this - it's because He is my happiness, He is my joy!

OMG Hilarious! - Underwear Backwards

Henry Cavill Teases Us With His New Superman Outfit

I am really starting to miss Brandon Routh, my one and only Superman!  He was gorgeous, luscious, and oh, so tall and muscular.  Henry Cavill is hot, but I'm not sure the fish-scaled outfit he's wearing or if making Superman without red underpants was a good idea.
I don't know... the hair, everything about it, smells fishy to me.  And you all know how much flak we gave the new Wonder Woman outfit.  It never made it to the small screen.

Of course, the new Superman movie will hit the big screen, because too much money has been invested already, and the movie is almost done filming.  What do you think?  Do you like it so far?

What If The Wizard of Oz Had An Alternate Ending?????

I posted the following video on Facebook over a year ago, and OMG it still makes me laugh my ass off.  It's absolutely, insanely hilarious!  

MAD TV couldn't have done a better job of creating an alternate ending to The Wizard of Oz, even if they tried.  The actors sound just like the originals, and they look a lot like them too!

Dorothy:  Oh, My, Oh, Will you help me, can you help me?
Good Witch:  You don't need to be helped any longer, you've always had the power to go back to Kansas.
Dorothy:  Excuse ME? (sarcastic look)
Scarecrow: Why didn't you tell her before?
Good Witch: Because she wouldn't have believed me.
Dorothy: Are you out of your Fucking Mind!  

OMG, I'm laughing my ass off right now!!
