Must Watch: Everyday We're Shuffling....

For all you Drum Corps and Marching Band fans, the Ohio University’s Marching band performed LMFAO’s ”Party Rock Anthem,” during their half-time show last Saturday in Athens, Ohio.

I absolutely loved it!  For all you folks that don't know, I dated a girl who played an instrument in High School, so marching bands hold a special place in my heart.  My high school marching band was very competitive when I was growing up. Our band always got a 1 in district competitions, and when I was there, it was like 30 or so years the band had earned them in a row.  They were so close to winning several state competitions when I was in school.

Added to my fascination with marching bands, my current partner, Ryan was in a high school marching band, and one of our best friends, Michael is a Colorguard Director for a school near Houston, TX.

Are People Really This Stupid? Issue No. 9

Talk about having a bridge party.  Why don't we all risk our lives like this?  Geez.  Are people really this stupid?  Using a few cables, a wooden platform, a homemade hot tub, and a few friends, a group of “extreme jacuzzi” fanatics dangled 128 feet off the side of the 620 foot Gueuroz Bridge in Switzerland.

It took six hours to assemble the makeshift hot-tub and about 2500 hours to plan to mission. Water was heated in a second jacuzzi on the bridge and lowered onto the platform where a gas-powered system kept it warm.

I don't know about you, but if it's 38 degrees outside, I'd be at home cuddling with my partner eating popcorn and watching a show.  Not dangling off the side of a bridge like an idiot.  Am I being too harsh? 

And yes, if you're interested you can see more pics and how it was assembled here.

Back In The Day - Michael Jackson, Elizabeth Taylor and Macaulay Culkin

It's crazy, but one of these celebrities is not like the other.  

I was feeling a bit nostalgic, and thought I'd post a pic from back in the day - when Michael Jackson and Elizabeth Taylor were still alive.  Macaulay Culkin still lives...

and the child star doesn't look to shabby for 31...

What If Mom Thought You Were Gay and You Were Not?

You've probably heard it asked over dinner and conversation, or maybe even a television show, "How can I tell if my son is gay?" 

But what what if your mom thought you were gay and you were not?

I was reading an article online when I came across a comment from one of it's readers.  Absolutely touched by it, I had to share it with you.

"My mother was in a nursing home in Utah towards the end of her life and I was in Florida. I'm not gay, but my best friend since kindergarten is gay and we have lived together several different times over the years and we were doing so at the time of this story.

My sister called me out of the blue to tell me mom was telling everyone I was gay.

My sister told her, "No, Mark and Doug aren't boyfriends. Doug has a boyfriend." My mom teared-up and said, "Oh, no! Does Mark know?"

I've always loved my mom, but loved her just a bit more when I learned that she wasn't really concerned about me being gay, but she was terribly upset that my supposed boyfriend was cheating on me."

That is soooo damn sweet! And this is how parents should love their children.

Isn't This The Truth? Twisted

LMAO!  Isn't this the truth!  I hate when this shit happens.  I swear, the moment I put my headphones in my pockets they throw themselves into this convoluted mess!

Blade's Box of Jams: Track #8 - 7 Minutes In Heaven

Currently listening to... 

School Boy Humor

I came across this group on Facebook and I'd have to say, OMG! These guys are hot! Of course their bodies caught my attention, because who doesn't like looking at guys with hot bodies? But that's besides the point.

School Boy Humor is a group from Arkansas created by twin brothers, Phil and Anthony Evans. They write their own music and recently released their latest hit, "7 Minutes In Heaven".  Check out the track below, and as an added treat there are some really hot pics of the twins after the jump.

Foods That Will Make You Fat - Issue No. 22

I know all of you enjoy this particular segment.  Who doesn't want to know what other people are eating?  Who doesn't want to know what will surely cause them an early death?  Foods That Will Make You Fat, keeps you informed of all the latest trends in eatery.  Even though fast food restaurants are guilty of introducing us to ridiculous concoctions, most of these foods are put together by regular folks like you and me.  What drives one to create a hot mess of a recipe?

The Pizza Cone

This crazy idea gained popularity in Brazil, Portugal, and Italy, when a banker thought it would be a brilliant idea to introduce it to the fattest country in the world.  Did you hear that?  The fattest country in the world!  People are so excited that some are saying "You can totally walk with it, and you don't have the oil dripping all over you."  Key words: Oil and Dripping.  I guess it isn't such a crazy idea, it's a hit in Manhattan, New York.

The Fat Elvis

Really?  We all know Elvis was fat in his later years, but do we need to be reminded why he died.  I mean... this sandwich is stuffed with butter, peanut butter, bananas, bacon, honey and confectioner's sugar.  Not only will you become diabetic, but you'll collapse while cooking this shit.

The Spamsicle

Who the hell created this monstrosity?  Seriously? If I wanted some type of "sicle" in my menu, it definitely wouldn't be a deep fried piece of processed meat.  And with the beaten eggs, seasoned flour, and Japanese bread crumbs added you'll have enough carbs to last for the rest of year, if not your life.  So much for your Atkins diet.

YES!  THESE FOODS WILL MAKE YOU FAT!

Quoted: Steve Jobs

"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart...

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true." 
                                        - Steve Jobs (CEO of Apple Computer and
                                          of Pixar Animation Studios, in a June 12, 
                                          2005 commencement address to Stanford 
                                          University.

"My first computer was an apple.  It had a huge ass keyboard, and used those huge 5 inch floppy disks.  It had a black screen and the letters were all in green - very matrix. LOL.  In either case, it truly is a sad day to know that Steve Jobs has passed away, but his legacy will live in the hearts and souls of many for thousands of years.  He was the Einstein of our generation, and I can't name one person in this era who has done more to change the world, than he.  R.I.P. Steve."                    - Blade 7184 aka Peter

What a Hot Mess: Another Informercial Star Dead

Geez what is it with these infomercial stars dying all of a sudden?  Remember Bill Mays?  I think everyone can relate to these sales pitches on television in one way or the other.  Either your parents have bought into some of them, or you were hoping to become rich by buying into some ridiculous program that would bring you riches beyond your wildest dreams.

Well, Don Lapre, the star of those "tiny classified ads" committed suicide inside an Arizona jail cell this past Sunday.  According to TMZ, he accomplished this task by "self-mutilation" and when the officers found him, there was a "large amount of blood" in his cell.  

Lapre was recently charged with conspiracy, mail fraud and wire fraud in his latest "Greatest Vitamin in The World" snake oil scam.  He walked off with $52 million buckaroos and screwing thousands of consumers. 

What a shame and yes,  What a Hot Mess!

Quoted - Mark Twain

"Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."

This poor girl, I feel bad for her, but it was actually pretty funny.  But hey, from 1,000 views to 145,000, that's pretty good.

Understanding Woman Talk

LOL, I probably should have posted this as one of my "Isn't This The Truth?" posts.  I guess I'll just tag it as such.  The following comic is absolutely hilarious and oh, so very true! If you don't agree, try harder! LOL

Jurassic Park: How It Should Have Ended

The folks at HISHEdotcom have done it again - This time with Jurassic Park.  

"Man those Raptors are smart. Smarter than snakes and way smarter than those darn kids!" the description reads.

The parody is too funny.  Especially since the raptors were able to adapt, read email and type "LOLz"

Isn't This The Truth? The Customer Is Always...

I'm sorry, but I've worked in enough customer service environments to know the customer isn't always right - It's actually the other way around.  But who am I to argue, the following chart speaks for itself...  lol.

Must Watch: Christian Dior Brings Back Marlene Dietrich, Grace Kelly and Marilyn Monroe

I saw this really cool video a few days before Ryan and I left for our vacation and didn't get to blog about it.  Well, there's no time like the present. 

The very beautiful Charlize Theron was recently featured in a Christian Dior ad with some very popular leading ladies from the past - Marlene Dietrich, Grace Kelly, and the gorgeous Marilyn Monroe.

I think it's absolutely amazing that with today's technology we can bring back people from the past, at least through film.  And I'd have to commend the producer for adding Beth Ditto to the ad, her voice was a great accompaniment.

OMG Hilarious! - Let's Talk About Our Wardrobe

Who's On Top?

My guess is... straight people would probably know how to play this game better, because, well, they just do.  Hell, I had straight friends watching "Queer as Folk" who reminded me every week to make sure and watch it.  

And how many straight friends do you know watch "Modern Family" every week? LOL.  Gotta love Saturday Night Live!

Gaga The Fashionista! - Fabulous or Not So Fabulous?

Is it me, or has Lady Gaga been off her game lately? 

Don't get me wrong, she looked fabulous at the iHeart Radio Music Festival, but I guess I'm so used to seeing her dress strangely, that I never really thought of her as a real "Lady." LOL.

I'm just kidding Gaga fans, take it easy. Don't hate!

To Lie or Not To Lie? That Is The Question.

Back To Blogging After Week Long Vacation

Mom, Liliana, and Dad

Wow, it seems like forever since I posted a blog, but Ryan and I took a vacation for a week and headed down to Corpus Christi to visit family and our new baby niece, Liliana. She is absolutely precious and adorable.

Liliana is the first grandchild and niece "by blood" in our family. My sister and her husband have been trying for years to have a baby and were blessed with a miracle 10 months ago when she became pregnant.

In either case, Ryan and I had a fabulous time! We went to the Texas State Aquarium, Port Aransas, and took my mother shopping. Ryan also took the liberty of taking on a new hobby - seashell collecting. Whatever makes him happy, I love him dearly.

I may throw in a few posts here and there over the weekend, but I should be back in full force by Monday, October 3rd.  Enjoy your weekend and have a fabulous day!

Singapore Bans Abercrombie & Fitch

So it seems, "the powers that be" are not a fan of pube pics?  Better yet, I don't even see any, do you?  In either case, the Advertising Standards Authority of Singapore, suspended this Abercrombie & Fitch advertisement at Knightsbridge Mall for breaching local guidelines on decency.

Personally, I think it's fucking hot!

The picture of a model wearing a pair of low-slung jeans, which spans the entire four-level shopfront, remains on display at the Knightsbridge mall in Orchard Road for now.

Some people who found the ad to be lewd and inappropriate for the prominent location wrote to The Straits Times' Forum page last month, urging for it to be taken down. - ST.Breaking News/Singapore

For The Gays Who Say Our President Hasn't Done Enough For Our Rights...

It irks me to say it, but yes, there are "gays" that side with the Republican party, who would rather see them in hell, hung, or put to death by stones, than to be with a party whose shown more love and compassion than anyone on the right could ever dream of having.

Look at that chart below, and you tell me.  Would you have seen this in a Republican president?  HELL to the N to the O!  If this country elects a Republican in 2012, you seriously need to worry, because they will do whatever they can to overturn what this President has worked so hard to achieve.  Mark my words.

Movies to Watch - Maybe: White Frog

Boo Boo Stewart from the Twilight series (yes boo boo is his name), Teen Wolf's Tyler Posey, Harry Shum, Jr. from Glee, and countless of other hotties appear in this movie.   It's about a kid (Stewart) with Aspergers who deals with the death of his hot, shirtless, older brother (Shum) who starts hanging out with his brother's friends, Gregg Sulkin and Posey.

Okay, I know it's about the perfect neighborhood, the perfect street, the perfect house, and the perfect family, but couldn't they have added, boys with the perfect bodies?  Geez, this is nothing but twink porn for teenage girls and boys.

Will Ryan and I watch it?  Maybe. LOL
