Things Liked By Nerds, Goths, and Jocks
Ahhhhh, High School, don't you just miss it? Honestly - it wasn't all that bad - I like reflecting on my high school days from time to time. Do I miss all the people who made up these groups? Probably not as much.... Well.....
Unless they were hot, LOL.

Asgard Is Yours!
Remember that hilarious Volkswagen ad which became the most viewed, and most popular commercial during the Superbowl - the Darth Vader one?
Well Marvel Comics thought it would be a good way to promote it's new movie, "Thor" in much the same way, and it is downright hilarious. Take a look.

Adele's "Someone Like You" for the Gays
More often than naught you get a song that fits perfectly for a heterosexual couple - either going through a failed relationship or a happy one.
But boy is it hard to find a cover to a song that leans towards a gay audience, and Adele's song, "Someone Like You" does just that. I was listening to several covers of her song last night, and Eli Lieb's version of her song simply blew me away; I had Ryan listen to it, and it drew us both to tears. It drew us ever more closer to one another - which only goes to prove that I can never be without him in my life. Take a listen, as Eli changes the word "girl" to "boy."
It's amazing how such a simple word like "him" and "her" or "boy" and "girl" can make a huge difference in someone's life. I feel more artists should look into this, because you don't have many who perform songs that play to both genders. It's either a woman singing about a man whom she loves or hates, or a man singing about a woman in a similar situation. It's never about man singing about another man, those are few and in-between.
Chris Kennedy to the left and below is from the UK and part of a three-person group called "The Shures." The group formed when a girl from the U.S., a boy from the UK, and another boy from Australia met over two years ago on a music networking site and fell in love with each other’s voices. Group member Ashley Burns from West Virginia brought up the idea of creating an online album to her two friends and from there, the online band concept was born. They entered an online competition but when they needed to enter a name, they noticed they were nameless. Third band member, Gabriel Cabrera from Australia came up with “The Shures” and they all decided to run with it. Chris also changed the gender of the song from "girl" to "boy" in the video below.

Happy Earth Day 2011
Over the years, Ryan and I have done our part by planting trees that will last for years to come, bought energy-efficient light bulbs for our entire home, and recycled as part of our community's efforts to preserve our beautiful land, but I learned a few things about Earth Day that I previously didn't know, like...
You can read more about this amazing holiday at the Earth Day Network and Wikipedia, which provided the wonderful information above; They do a really good job of covering it's history. So check it out, it doesn't hurt to read more about the countless efforts millions of people around the world have made to help save Mother Earth.Earth Day was founded by Democratic Senator Gaylord Nelson from Wisconsin in 1970, after making a trip to Santa Barbara, California in 1969; He was so outraged by the devastation that he proposed a national teach-in on the environment to be observed by every university and campus in the U.S.. He felt the need for this teach-in was really important for the new generation approaching them.
In 2009, the United Nations designated April 22 International Mother Earth Day
Over 20 million people participated on Earth Day held on April 22, 1970, and is now observed by more than 500 million people worldwide, and several national governments in 175 countries.
Senator Nelson chose the date in order to maximize participation on college campuses for what he conceived as an "environmental teach-in". He determined the week of April 19–25 was the best bet as it did not fall during exams or spring breaks. Moreover, it did not conflict with religious holidays such as Easter or Passover, and was late enough in spring to have decent weather. More students were likely to be in class, and there would be less competition with other mid-week events—so he chose Wednesday, April 22.

Who Can Do It Better Than Britney Spears?
Seriously though, Kudos to those guys and gals in Afghanistan who are doing their best to stay focused and survive those dreadful summers and those bitter winters; And if by singing Britney's song, "Hold It Against Me" can help them stay focused - then more power to them!
There is no greater honor in proving your love for America than by serving in our military. I honor those who have served, and continue to do so every day, do you?
On The Beaches of Panama...
This is just wrong. While this guy was vacationing on the beaches of Panama...

Mind-Boggling News: National Hiring Day Consists of Running Over People
Remember when McDonald's announced two weeks ago that they were going to hold a National Hiring Day in order to fill 50,000 jobs at all it's restaurants?
Well... Ronald is frowning, and it looks like Mr.McDonald got more than he bargained for. Now we wait and see what lawsuits will be popping-up out of this crazy-ass incident. Even though McDonald's is indirectly involved, these bitches will somehow find a way to sue - mark. my. words.
On Tuesday, in "what was supposed to be an uplifting event to help boost the economy," two bitches went for each other's throats, probably because there wasn't enough "Bic Mac's secret sauce" on one of their burgers. This shit is crazy - like for real.
One of the bitches ran over the store's owner, manager and several other people before driving off.

Wait... Was Yesterday A Holiday?
For all of you who called in yesterday thinking 420 was meant to be a holiday - it wasn't. And if you have no idea what it stands for, I'll let About.com explain it for you. *hint - it's not a bill, and it's not a police or penal code.
Others may not be so lucky...
Now, are you glad you didn't call in?

Mc Donald's New Oatmeal - Is It Really Healthy?
By now everyone has seen the new commercial from McDonald's featuring their new "Fruit & Maple" oatmeal, and it looks downright yummy doesn't it? But what's in it? Is it really healthy?
Well the website, Mother Nature Network did some investigating, and has provided some results.
Is McDonald's new 'Fruit and Maple Oatmeal' as cheap and healthy as old-school oats?

Keeping It Old Skool - Issue No. 6 - Tight-rolled Pants
Ahhh... talk about Keeping It Old Skool. Tight-rolled pants were a huge rage back in the 1980's and early 1990's. I'll be honest - I thought it was cool, and tried to incorporate this awesome fad with my school attire. Granted, the hot jocks looked so much better than I did. You know - the football, baseball, and soccer players? I thought they looked hot sporting those tight rolled up pants - I'll spare you the details of my fantasies. I love how Wikipedia describes it below, LOL.
"girls and boys would tight-roll the bottoms of their jeans or any pants that they wore. On full length pants tight rolling is performed by taking up the slack around the ankles at the hem of the pants, folding the extra material over and then rolling upwards 2 or 3 times over. A proper tight-roll should have the extra material folded inward across the lower shin. The use of safety pins was key to a good roll, but to the experienced tight roller they can be achieved without them. "
And yes, everyone did it - even the celebrities on television, like Zac Morris from Saved by the Bell. I think every gay boy in America had a huge crush on him growing up.I also found this hilarious instructional video on YouTube on how to sport those tight-rolled up pants.
Who knows? You may find you like it; I have heard they're making a comeback.

Worst Persons of the Day with Keith Olbermann - 04/18/2011
As you may remember, the man pictured above was canned from MSNBC back in January. Canned, framed, quit, either way I'm happy to report that Keith Olbermann has been back for sometime now, and until his new television show airs, he has been blogging from to time to time on his non-for-profit blog FOK News Channel. FOK translates to "Friends of Keith"
Gay Movies to Watch: Were The World Mine
If you could make anyone fall in love with anybody you desired, would you? And if said object of affection did happen to fall in love with you on account of (minor) interference with free-will, could you still call it love? An interesting dilemma indeed, yet one ultimately reserved to the realm of fantasy... in this case Were the World Mine protagonist Timothy's fantasy.
Ryan and I had the pleasure purchasing and watching this movie 2 years ago, and glad to say it's part of our DVD collection. We've watched it countless times, and as you may have guessed, the scenes used in both these clips originate from Tom Gustafson's award winning film.
If you like gay movies and musicals, Were the World Mine is available on DVD and also can be directly downloaded using iTunes or Amazon's video-on-demand service.
