The Ever So Dashing Nicholas Jonas

I tell you, this young man is absolutely handsome - pro gay-rights, pro-diabetes awareness, pro-muscle conscience, and pro-Broadway.  When Nick Jonas decided to go solo I remember telling Ryan he was the hottest of the Jonas Brothers, and was going places - it turns out I was right.  He also reminds me so much of John F. Kennedy Jr.

The youngest of the Jonai posed up a storm on the red carpet of the 2012 Drama League Benefit Gala at the Pierre hotel in New York City. The night, entitled “A Musical Celebration of Broadway Honoring Tony and Emmy Award Winner Kristin Chenoweth,” featured a performance by Nick of “A House Is Not a Home” from Promises, Promises. He later tweeted: “Congratulations @KChenoweth you are a ray of light. I was so honored to be there tonight at the drama league.” - James St. James

The Annoying College Roommate

Everyone's been there - I know I have.  You get stuck with the most annoying roommate or suite mate ever!  But the ones you really despise are the ones who keep you up all night, or better yet, they keep you up after a night of binge-drinking with your frat buddies. If I roomed with you in college - I'm sorry, but you really pissed me off dammit!  Watch the video, and you'll know why I don't feel bad for the guy in the top bunk. LOL.

Crimes of the Century - No. 11 - The Patty Hearst Kidnapping

THE PATTY HEARST KIDNAPPING, 1974

The kidnapping of Patty Hearst in the 1970s is pretty much the equivalent of someone today kidnapping Rupert Murdoch, Brian Williams or Donald Trump's daughter for ransom.  So you can pretty much imagine how big of a story this was back then. - Peter aka Blade7184

***

Her family is a storied one, albeit the kind of stories that involved yellow journalism, character assassination, political manipulation and gossip mongering. Who knew that Patricia Hearst, granddaughter of newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst, the inspiration for Orson Well's biting film Citizen Kane, would herself become the central character of one of the biggest news stories of the turbulent 1970s? It was shocking enough on Feb. 4, 1974 when the 19-year-old heiress was kidnapped by a ratty band of Bay Area urban revolutionaries, the Symbionese National Liberation Army, who demanded as ransom that her father feed all the hungry in California. But then, just over two months later, she was seen on camera assisting them in a bank robbery. Soon enough, the kidnap victim had an arrest warrant of her own. 

It would be nearly a year and a half before she was captured. Despite the defense's strategy of brainwashing, her two-month trial in 1976 led to a seven-year sentence. It was later commuted by then-President Jimmy Carter and she served only 22 months. President Bill Clinton granted her a full pardon on the day he left office. Nowadays, Hearst is a socialite, not a guerrilla, though she appears in a number of director John Waters' subversive, sly and crude comedies.

TIME Magazine posted this article online several years ago, along with a list of 24 additional notorious crimes that I have been posting and will continue to post every Saturday on my blog.  Hope you enjoy.

Are These Women Paranoid?

I don't know if you've ever heard of Jack Vale, but if you haven't he's an online prankster that makes videos of unsuspecting people, whether they're store customers or friends.  Over the summer, he got punched in the face by a target customer when he farted in front of his wife.  It was a hot mess.

This time, I'm surprise he didn't get his face bashed in. LOL.  Then again, I didn't see very many men around these women who were shopping.  Jack pretends to be on the phone with someone else, when in fact, he's talking about the customer and says things in relation to what she's looking or purchasing.  There was a couple of them I thought were going to beat the crap out of him.

If You're a Republican, This Woman is Who You Should Aspire To Be

I must have seen this video a hundred times already, at least it feels like I have..   I watch and listen to the words this honorable Republican had to say, because yes, there are honorable ones believe it or not, and it brings me to tears each and every time.  Maureen Walsh was married to the same man for 23 years and she loved him more than anything, but it was what she said to her fellow Republicans and Democrats about her life, that makes this unmistakably the "video of the year" so far.

It's taken me a while to blog about this, because my life with Ryan is so damn important to me.  My life, not yours.  I mean, what is it going to take for you zealots to realize that Jesus, The Father, and The Holy Spirit will "judge" you for the hateful, judgmental and condemning group of people that's ever existed on this planet?  Please watch this, and convince me you can be a Republican with a heart and a conscience.

Disney Prince of the Week 006

In today's issue, and for the next 14 weeks I'll be posting a Disney Prince of the Week.  Can you guess the movie and the name of the character who played this week's Prince? 

Meryl Streep Aging Gracefully

This has got to be the best picture of Meryl Streep I've seen so far.  And why you ask?  Because she's aging gracefully, as one should.

I Told You To Stop Texting While Walking

OMG, I'm lmao over here.  Remember that funny PSA blog I posted last month about the dangers of texting while walking?  Well if you don't remember, you can watch it here, but it's the news broadcast below that has me laughing right now.  I think the woman in the background should have read my blog, because she trips and falls during the taping of a live news broadcast.

An Open Letter to The Pope

Dear Holy Father,

It’s not looking good for you. You’re 84, you’re THE POPE, and you haven’t yet learned what Jesus taught. I expect a little better from someone who had the sense to get the heck out of the Hitler Youth.

Let me make it simple for you, Your Holiness. Gay marriage is not a threat to the family. Snooki is a threat to the family. Kim Kardashian is a threat to the family. Trans fats, high fructose corn syrup and Newt Gingrich are a threat to the family. Faygelehs? Only a threat to bad decor… and not all of them.

Since I have your attention, you might want to talk to your tailor about updating your look. Those glittery robes and pointy hats are so 2nd century.

There are only half a million gay marriages in the US. There are 76 million American Express cardholders. I’d be concerned about that.

When you look at all the things that ail mankind (and I don’t mean Catholicism), the persecution of the legal coupling of people who would like to have privileges that they pay for others to have, and calling it a threat to the familly, seems a bit like saying that dinner mints are a threat to civilization. Okay, maybe the ones with jelly in them.

I’ll try to say it like Jesus did, or better yet, I’ll let Him say it:

I give you a new commandment: Love one another; just as I have loved you,  you also must love one another. (John 13:34)

Thanks for staying awake to read this.

Love,

Your Chexy

P.S. LOVE love luuuuuv the red shoes!

I couldn't have said it any better myself, thank you for sharing Chexy!

Freestylin' On A Vintage Ladies Bike

You know you boys wanted to freestyle when you were kids, and this goes for you too, ladies. 

My sister learned how to ride a bicycle without hands way before I ever could. Hell, I don't think I ever learned how. 

In either case, check out French Trials rider, Mickael Dupont attempt some bicycle tricks on a vintage ladies bike. It doesn't go so well at times, but he actually managed to pull some through after a while.

What a Hot Mess: Hug-E-Gram

Instead of sending flowers, send him or her a Hug-E-Gram.

That's it!  I'm quitting my job and inventing crazy crap like this.  I can't believe that this infomercial actually exists, better yet, that someone is getting rich off this product.

I seriously cannot see myself sending Ryan a cloth-wrapped swimming pool noodle with Mickey Mouse hands, and the product's name printed on it.  Are you kidding me?  He would slap the shit out of me. LOL.  On the other hand, he'd probably think it was cute.  

Aye, Aye, Aye, this is worst than the Snuggie and Pet Snuggie.

Quoted: Mary Griffith on Religion and Her Son

“If no one had ever challenged religious authority, there’d be no democracy, no public schools, women’s rights, improvements to science and medicine, evolution of slavery and no laws against child abuse or spousal abuse. I was afraid to challenge my religious beliefs because that was the basis of creation—mine anyway. I was afraid to question the Bible or anything in it, and when I did, that’s when I became involved with PFLAG and realized that my son was a perfectly normal human being and there was nothing for God to heal because Bobby was perfect just the way he was.” - Mary Griffith on religion and her son.

For those who have no idea who Mary Griffith is, you need to watch Prayers for Bobby.  I wrote a blog on it several years ago.  It's about a very religious mother, played by Sigourney Weaver, who's life drastically turns around after her gay son commits suicide.  It can literally change your thoughts on gay people and God, for the better.

Isn't This The Truth? What The Customer Wanted

Laugh of the Day: Wanda Sykes - Waxed [NSFW]

OMG, I love this woman!  She will have you ROFL before you can count to three, okay maybe twenty, lol.  Seriously though, if your day isn't going so well, Wanda Sykes will definitely make your day.  For those who have no idea who she is, she's a stand-up comedian/American writer who used to have a sitcom on Fox titled "Wanda at Large" - it was absolutely hilarious.  Unfortunately, it only ran for two seasons.  I have labeled it NSFW, because of the foul language, but otherwise it's a definite must watch.

A Couple of Losers

Wanna see a couple of losers making fun of passersby?  Only problem is, one of the losers freaks out when the other loser joins in on the fun.

Urine Color Chart

Check out this handy little chart courtesy of the Boy Scouts of America.  Regardless if it's not intended for clinical use, if you're urine looks like the color at the bottom, you should definitely seek medical aid.  The chart is accurate to say the least.

Must Watch: Set Fire To The Rain

Some of us get married thinking it will change who we are.  Some of us date girls or boys in high school to make our parents proud, or we don't want them finding out we're gay. Gay people often find themselves in this situation, and the fact that we're so afraid to come out - we hurt a lot of people in the process.  Straight and Gays alike should see this video, especially if you like music and dance.

I know that everyone is tired of hearing about Adele and Whitney, but this is not about them. 

Ryan shared this video with me this morning and asked if I had ever posted it on one of my blogs.  I hadn't, so I'm doing it now.  In the music video you have an Adele impersonator, 3 dancers, and a story of a man struggling with his sexuality, while a girl who thought she had everything, is now facing a struggle of her own.  It truly sets fire to the rain.

YouTube: The music video portrays a man struggling with his sexuality, while the girl in love with him fights to hold on as everything she thought she knew comes crashing down before her. The song speaks of a foolish love that's so hard to let go. This theme is not uncommon, most of us have been subjected to this type of unrequited love in some way, shape, or form. Whether gay or straight, single or taken, if you have not experienced this kind of pain, consider yourself one of the lucky ones.
