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

Abercrombie & Fitch Opens Another Store With a Billion Hotties Posing Shirtless


Back in September, Singapore was pissed off because Abercrombie & Fitch placed this scantly ad outside one of their precious malls.  I wonder what they're going to do now that Abercrombie has opened their new store in Singapore with a billion half-naked, hot boys posing shirtless outside their store.

I think they hired the same boys from the store opening in France, don't you think?

Are People Really This Stupid? Issue No. 15 - Parallel Parking

Okay, imagine yourself parking..... you know what? Just forget it!  Are people really this stupid?  

I know I rant and rave about crazy shit everyday, but this has got to be the most idiotic thing I've ever seen.  If I came out of my apartment, store, or wherever the hell I was, and saw this idiot trying to parallel park in front or behind me, there would be hell to pay.  This guy literally squeezes his way into a parking spot, hitting the cars parked in front and behind him. 

True, he doesn't slam into them, he nudges his car in between them.  I'm sorry, I can't imagine any of you taking this from anyone.

Uh Oh, Santa

I think someone forgot to tell the Night Stockers at Wal-Mart that before they set up the soda display, Santa usually says, Ho, Ho, Ho.  Unless Santa was doing something naughty. LOL.

Must Watch: Christmas Day

Remember that movie "Valentine's Day"?  Yeah, me neither.
So the release of "New Year's Eve" was released yesterday, and.... well, they're already thinking of the next movie.  Yep, supposedly it's going to star everyone that is currently working in Hollywood.  Sounds pretty hot, doesn't it?

Well, now's your chance to catch a sneak peek of the 2012 movie, "Christmas Day."

It's Purely Animal - Issue No. 39 - Cat vs. Spider

It's down to the wire.  Who will take the first, second and third round?  Hell, who will take the final round? It's CAT vs. SPIDER!  The ultimate showdown.  Well... I think the video title gives it away. Check it out, it's purely animal!

*No animals were hurt in the making of this video.

Hanging Christmas Lights

Yep, this is pretty much what happens. LOL.

What a Hot Mess: Santa Claus Is Coming To Bieber's Town

I thought that Justin Bieber's video release of Under The Mistletoe was a hot mess, but the song actually grew on me.  They play it on the radio so damn much!  I'm actually listening to it now. LOL.

But the following video release of Santa Claus is Coming To Town is truly one Hot Christmas Mess!

He prances around Santa's workshop wearing some weird ass clothes, but the best part is when starts rapping, "So it’s that time of year, when you let all your problems go. And you know, you just … shake it, shake it baby."

 

Yeah, I won't be getting hooked on this song anytime soon. Can we just have these good 'ol fashioned kids singing the song instead.

Must Watch - Must Listen: Best of the Web 2011

Truly an awesome video.  Actor/Director, Luc Bergeron spliced together some of the best video clips from over the past year and created this masterpiece.  Being a blogger, it struck a chord with me.  Check it out, it's really great.  You may even recognize some of the clips.

American Horror Story's Best Episode Yet!

You may remember me talking about American Horror Story a couple of months ago, or you may not.  Regardless, the show is now one of mine and Ryan's favorites.  We finally had the chance to watch Wednesday's episode, and I'm telling you, it was the craziest episode EVER!  I couldn't have said it any better than this fellow blogger here...
Craziest episode EVER! When Violet wasn’t able to leave the house, YOU KNEW SOMETHING WAS UP, but I kept thinking it was Tate doing some weird shit. Then… then…. well, I STILL can’t stop thinking about it, dreaming about it, screaming about it. “YOU TOOK SO MANY, VIOLET!” Oh, it’s just too sad. And don’t talk to me about SPOILER ALERTS. Life happens in real time, baby, and I’m not going to hold off BLOGGING until you find time to watch your dvr. VIOLET IS DEAD, you’re going to have to deal with that fact sooner or later. I know I’M still reeling. - James St. James

2011 Movie Montage

Check out this nifty movie in review from hatinhand . It's a movie montage featuring 166 different movies over the past year.  How many do you recognize?

The 2011 slate of releases, from The Adjustment Bureau to Zookeeper.

This is where a cathartic and overarching statement would succinctly sum up the year's displays of creativity, passion, ingenuity, and bravado, but the only thing that comes to mind is: weird shit. Lots of weird shit. 


War horses and evil clowns. Hobos with shotguns and super-powered Nazi hunters. Cancer comedies and a silent warrior in a scorpion jacket. Iconoclasts, conspirators, madmen, and crusaders. And a badass David Tennant. What's not to like? Something for everyone.

Kiss of the Week - Issue No. 003

When I started my "Kiss of the Week" series in 2007 on Peter's Daily Blog, I never thought I would get as far as I did with it.  At the beginning I was only posting photos of two hot guys kissing, but later incorporated a "Quote of the Day" with it - and the rest is history.

Over the next few months I will be posting my original posts and slowly introducing the series to my current blog BLADE 7184 readers.  So without further ado, here's the third issue, originally posted on July 07, 2007...

Let's Play Banking

Quoted: President Barack Obama on Unfairness

"Keep in mind, when President Clinton first proposed these tax increases, folks in Congress predicted they would kill jobs and lead to another recession. Instead, our economy created nearly 23 million jobs and we eliminated the deficit.  Today, the wealthiest Americans are paying the lowest taxes in over half a century. This isn’t like in the early ‘50s, when the top tax rate was over 90 percent. This isn’t even like the early ‘80s, when the top tax rate was about 70 percent. Under President Clinton, the top rate was only about 39 percent. Today, thanks to loopholes and shelters, a quarter of all millionaires now pay lower tax rates than millions of you, millions of middle-class families. Some billionaires have a tax rate as low as 1 percent. One percent.

That is the height of unfairness. It is wrong. It’s wrong that in the United States of America, a teacher or a nurse or a construction worker, maybe earns $50,000 a year, should pay a higher tax rate than somebody raking in $50 million. It’s wrong for Warren Buffett‘s secretary to pay a higher tax rate than Warren Buffett. And by the way, Warren Buffett agrees with me. So do most Americans — Democrats, Independents and Republicans. And I know that many of our wealthiest citizens would agree to contribute a little more if it meant reducing the deficit and strengthening the economy that made their success"

Must Watch: Muscle-ripped Guy Becomes a Hot Chick over a Span of Two Years

I'm speechless, I really don't know what to say.  He was so hot as a guy, but.... as a girl, he's even hotter.

Seriously speaking though, it has to be difficult being transgendered in today's society.  I really don't know much about it to say anything, which is even more reason to read about it.  

Much like the gay community, they too are bullied, beaten, and persecuted for who they are.  Although, I tend to think they go through much more difficult situations and heartache than gay people.

I just wish we lived in a world, where there was no judging of one another.

Alien Worlds

According to Space.com, astronomers have discovered more than 700 alien planets beyond the solar system, and the count is rising all the time. Some are large and hot, and others are smaller and cooler, but scientists are still on the lookout for an Earth twin.

They just got closer, with the announcement Dec. 5 of a planet found by NASA's Kepler space telescope to lie in the habitable zone around its star where liquid water, and perhaps life, could exist.

Blade's Box of Jams: Track #11 - We Are Young

Currently listening to...
fun.

It doesn't matter what people say online, everyone who saw Glee last night was introduced to a song they never heard before, or if they did, never really paid attention to it until they watched last night's episode.  

The reason artists agree to have their songs sung by the cast of Glee is for exposure.  Whether its a legend, or an up and coming artist, they all want it.  Imagine all the purchases made through iTunes last night. One you tube commenter wrote, "Yeah glee brought me here as well. Like both versions, prefer this version. Bought all three. love Jannelle Monae. Love fun. Love glee."

I'll be honest, the moment I finished hearing Glee's version of the song, I researched it and found the original. "We Are Young" is sung by the band fun.; It is an American indie pop band based in New York City.  Feel free to join their Facebook or Twitter here.  You can also catch last night's performance by Glee after the jump. But for now, let's listen and watch the moving video by fun.
For those of you who are saying "why did I just spend 4:11 minutes watching?' You watched a moving piece of art. It is showing us, as old (the apple) and tonight we are going to be young. As we grow old, we retain the youth inside us and tonight it comes out. We shed (or cut) off that skin and show off our youth once more. That is what the video is about. It's telling us, no matter how old you are, tonight, we are young. So let's set the world on fire, we can burn brighter than the sun. Tonight - Cynix7

Glee's version of the song was very emotional for both Ryan and I, because we know the characters of the show, and what they're going through. So for us, it is going to be bittersweet to see some of them go at the end of the season.  The version after the jump introduced us to another fabulous artist, and for that we are grateful.

On February 5th, A Legend Will Rock America's Largest Stage...

Madonna will take center stage at halftime of Super Bowl XLVI, flanked by Cirque du Soleil performers in what traditionally is one of the year's most watched shows.

The NFL announced Sunday night, in a press release, that the Michigan-born singer would headline the halftime show on February 5, 2012, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.


She follows other high-profile acts in recent years, including the Black Eyed Peas and Usher during the most recent edition of pro football's championship game at Cowboys Stadium in Texas. [source]

What a Hot Mess: Waitstaff Walks Out on Chef and Local Restaurant

I knew that Ryan's birthday was coming up, and wanted to plan dinner for his birthday.  One of the three choices was The Rainforest Cafe, Dave & Busters or The Ruggles Grill.  

We had previously mentioned the Rainforest Cafe to our friends, but we hadn't told them of Ruggles as an option.  When it came down to having dinner at Dave & Busters or Ruggles, we decided on the latter.

So you can imagine my surprise when I came across this article on Facebook this morning.  The Ruggles Waitstaff Stages Walk-Out, Alleging Non-Payment of Tips.  What a Hot Mess!

According to the article, 
"This past Saturday night at Ruggles was a busy one. There were nearly 200 customers packing the restaurant at Westheimer and Montrose, with a skeleton crew of only five waiters out of a normal 10-man crew. And at 7 p.m., all five of those waiters -- as well as Ruggles's general manager -- walked out, closing the restaurant behind them."
"We told the customers there was a gas leak," said Jeremiah Villarreal, 28, a University of Houston sports medicine student who had been a waiter at Ruggles since June.
Lucky for us, we planned dinner for Sunday, because we couldn't make dinner on Saturday. And two, Dave & Busters ended up being the best choice.  We had a great time, and played some arcade games afterwards.
The article has since been udpated, with the owner/chef, admitting that he owes "about $14,000 to $15,000 to catch everybody up."

School Portrait

No matter what you do, you cannot tell the girl with the ginger hair to stop smiling.  Directed by Nick Scott and Produced by Michael Berliner, this cute short film will make you smile and laugh.

The film, titled, "School Portrait," features students coming in to have their school pictures taken.  Unbeknownst to them, the photographer will do what he can to keep them from smiling.  And he does this by having the kids say things like, "The banking crisis means I will never afford a home" or he tells a little girl, "there isn't a pet heaven".  Sounds cruel, I know, but it's actually quite funny.

Cello Wars: The Phantom Cellist

I'm sure none of you have ever seen something quite like this.  Those who have been in a high school band, college, or elsewhere would probably appreciate this video more.  I actually enjoyed it, it was pretty cool.
The guys behind the video never expected it would take them 70 days to put this together, but it did.  It took more than 7,000 frames, 72 audio tracks, 24 hours of filming through the night in front of a green screen, the most props and costumes they ever used, several broken bows and strings, and over 1,000 hours of editing and rendering -- they felt like they had taken on the entire EMPIRE! 

So without further ado, The Piano Guys and Steven Sharp Nelson present to you...

Isn't This The Truth? The Many Levels of Drunkeness

OMG! Isn't this the truth?!? If I was given a nickle for every time I started crying, spoke in tongues, or did exotic dances, I'd be filthy rich by now.  Looking at this bottle, and it's many level of drunkeness, I'd say I've been here many of times, especially to the point where I'm saying, "I'm fine, I'm fine." LOL.
