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 - - - - - - - - - - -

A Dragon Is Not A Slave! She's Coming For You Joffrey!

Wow, if you missed the recent episode of Game of Thrones this past Sunday - you better watch it - this is a spoiler.

How many of you knew Daenerys was going to set up the slavemaster?  I knew it, and I also knew she understood everything that bastard was saying.  No, I wasn't cheating - I've never read the books, but something was telling me she
wouldn't give up her dragon babies for anything or anyone.

Daenerys is the rightful heir to the Iron Throne and this bitch is coming to rain fire on Joffrey and his band of misfit toys!!!  

I'm so excited - I can't wait to see that boy burn to a crisp.

For a full recap of Sunday's episode - go here.




How Humans Eat Their Food

LMAO.  You remember that viral video I posted two weeks ago - the one showing How Animals Eat Their Food?  Well, Derick Watts & The Sunday Blues have turned the tables on them; With a short video featuring an animated hippo and alligator.  It begs the question... did you ever stop to think that maybe animals think how WE eat is funny?

What You're Saying with Your Drug Choice (NSFW)

This is for you all you Boys and Girls that continue to use drugs.

Caldwell Tanner posted these illustrations last Thursday at College Humor, and he's probably right on most of them.

Though, I'd have to say I've never heard of Whippits.  And now that I know, I'm wondering what the hell is wrong with people. LOL. But c'mon, getting high of whipped cream cans?  Seriously?

Just Sayn'

Little Gordon Ramsay

Omg, why didn't ever see these before?  It's been nearly 5 bloody years since they've been out.  

If you're a fan of Hell's Kitchen, or anything associated with the foul-mouthed Chef, Gordon Ramsay - you'll absolutely love these videos, they're hilarious.

And we can only imagine this is what Ramsay was like as a child. LOL.  NSFW.

 

Things That Make You Go Hmmm....

You knew I had to throw in a little humor on this lovely Earth Day!  Enjoy. :-)

Things We Can Do To Save The Environment - Issue No. 18 - Ask the Experts For An Energy Audit of Your Home

I know this issue is a day early, but it's Earth Day!  Happy Earth Day Everyone!  I bet you didn't know having an energy audit done on your home could save you up to $600 dollars a year.  And it wouldn't even cost you a dime.

Giving credit to TIME,  I'd like to thank them for showing us the many ways we can help save the environment.  Just one person can make a difference, and it starts with YOU!

18. Ask the Experts For An Energy Audit of Your Home

How green is your abode? A home energy audit, which most utility providers will do free of charge, will tell you the amount of power your household consumes and what you can do to reduce it. The average family can find ways to shave 1,000 lbs. of CO2 emissions each year. Energy auditors use special equipment like blower doors and infrared cameras to help you pinpoint exactly how your house is losing energy. You can also perform a do-it-yourself audit (click here), but this is one time you might actually want to be audited by the experts.  

Make sure to follow Blade 7184 every Tuesday for a new issue of Things We Can Do To Save The Environment.  Each issue is thought-provoking, informative and may hold the key to saving your children and grand-children's future.  Please feel free to click on my logo to read previous issues.

Sunday Funday: I'm Not Gay

Today' second Sunday Funday video uses a different genre, but is just as hilarious as the video I posted earlier.

The song titled,  "I'm Not Gay" features an up-and-coming artist, by the name of Jesse Pepe.  I couldn't find much on him, but I did find his Kickstarter page, where he states his "goal as an artist is not to be another flame-out mainstream performer."  But as one guy put it, "Grabbing guys’ crotches, stroking poles and asking for a good drilling at Home Depot probably isn’t the best way to show you’re not gay.LOL. "That’s exactly what Jesse P’s alter ego J Pee does in this parody clip titled, guess what… “I’m Not Gay.” The homo-bro rap track was written by Pepe himself and features lots of gratuitous shirtless shots and inappropriate touching."

Once again, be warned - it is NSFW, but it is good, clean fun. Absolutely hilarious! 
 

Poster of the Week - Issue No. 60 - Stupidity

Continuing alphabetically, I bring you this week's poster, "Stupidity".
These are meant to be funny, and in no way meant to be taken seriously. 

Sunday Funday: RuPaulogize

It's time for some Sunday Funday realness!!!  I'll be posting two music videos that are absolutely hilarious and are sure to be a hit.  Be warned, both videos are NSFW and each will be posted separately.

The first video features our favorite drag queen superstars, Willam Belli and Sharon Needles.  Will this bring down Belli's previous video, "This Boy is a Bottom"?  I think it may very well do that - I can't stop playing it. 

You may remember Willam coining the term "RuPaulogize" in season 4 of Drag Race, so you knew a song was coming.  The video, which features Sharon Needles as RuPaul, parodies One Republic's, "Apologize".  You have to check it out - you'll be ROFLD (rolling on the floor dancing).

Soft Toys Made From Your Child's Drawings

Omg, these are really, really super cute.  I want one!!!  I'm sending in my childhood pics now!!!  

Child's Own Studio custom makes soft toys for children and boy, they are so darn adorable.  The creator, Wendy Tsao took on this amazing task, by making a soft toy for her 4yr old son in 2007, because he was constantly drawing.  Since then, she has made 400 of them.  If you have children, check it out - you'll absolutely love them!

Saturday Morning Coffee Break: Define Me

I'm going out of the norm for today's issue of Saturday Morning Coffee Break.  I'm featuring a music video by singer/ songwriter, Ryan Amador that is absolutely amazing.  He sings alongside Jo Lampert in a duet that is both powerful and moving.  The song is titled, "Define Me".   

Trust me, making you cry is not something I want to do, but this will be especially emotional for those who have ever been bullied or blasted with gay slurs growing up.  And this will be emotional for those straight folks with a heart and soul, who may have contemplated saying these things once, and regret ever doing so. But finally, this is for those Christians who know loving your fellow brother is something Jesus asked them to do, and yet, don't understand why their fellow worshipers are so full of hate and contempt for those who wish them no harm.

The video features Amador and Lampert stripping down to their underwear revealing gay slurs and negative stereotypes across their arms, legs, and chest.  It ends with them washing away the words and sharing a smile.  

Once again, it is absolutely amazing; I just love it.  And this why it is today's Saturday Morning Coffee Break.  And rightly so.
Grab your java, sit down and enjoy.

Rethink Your Drink

From school projects to city-wide campaigns, "Rethink Your Drink" has been around for a few years now.  If you want proof this helps, I'm living it.  I stopped drinking soft drinks and cut down sugar consumption dramatically.  And it's made a difference in my life.  Now, I don't agree with certain politicians who think we should force people to stop drinking what they want, these are choices we should make on our own.  But knowing what we know today, we can prevent our children from developing horrible diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.

"When it comes to weight loss, there's no lack of diets promising fast results. There are low-carb diets, high-carb diets, low-fat diets, grapefruit diets, cabbage soup diets, and blood type diets, to name a few. But no matter what diet you may try, to lose weight, you must take in fewer calories than your body uses. Most people try to reduce their calorie intake by focusing on food, but another way to cut calories may be to think about what you drink." - Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Disney Prince of the Week - Issue No. 14

Over the last few weeks I have been posting a Disney Prince of the Week.  Can you guess the movie and the name of the character who played this week's Prince? 

While he's not technically a Prince in the movie, the artist considers him the girl counter-part of a Disney Animated movie.  Hence in the eyes of the artist, he's a Prince of Disney. 
 

A Very Special Moment - Issue #8: Good Things Should Last Forever

Talk about a brilliant commercial.  The advertisement below follows a boy and a girl from the moment of their first kiss all the way through their life together, and finishing with old age.  The ad titled, "The Kiss" was made by studio Grey London for Vodafone.  I encourage you to watch it - it will move you.
