Ohhhhh.... That Strawberry Hill

Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill - It's the nectar of the gods! If you haven't barfed up this stuff at least once in your life, then you haven't really LIVED! It doesn't take much either, because it gives you the voms after a few glasses. I'm not too sure, but I think Strawberry Hill took my drunk virginity a trillion years ago. That is truly special and beautiful. It brings a tear to my eye..... and is making me kind of thirsty.

You can try other fine flavored wine products out there, but none of them will make you look like the truly elegant lady you are quite like Strawberry Hill.

OMG Hilarious! - Eyes

Movies to Watch: Final Destination V

What in Harry Potter shit is this?  Seriously?????

Dear Warner Brothers,

What in our God-given world made you sign a contract with New Line Cinema?  Really?  Did they have something on you that made you do this?  And why would you use Harry Potter lettering and smoke in your trailer for this crap?  I know I'm venting, but wasn't the last installment, "The Final Destination?"

Yours Truly,
Blade 7184

As with all the other movies, the trailer is full of hot guys who will meet their untimely death.  I think the only recurring character in this series, is the "Candyman."  But did we learn our lesson from the first 4 installments? Obviously not! As cheesy as these movies are, we still watch them.

Paula Abdul Returns To Television - In A Big Way

You know, as much flak as I gave Paula Abdul when she was on American Idol, I kinda missed her.  I don't think Idol was ever the same once she left.  With the addition of Kara DioGuardi, and Ellen the following year - it was just too much.

I'm happy to say, that Paula is back! Yes, you are reading this correctly.  She was hand-picked by Simon Cowell as the fourth judge on his new show, The X-Factor.  

I first heard about this 2 months ago, but put off talking about it until I knew it was official, and it became official on Mother's Day! She will be joining Cheryl Cole and Antonio "L.A." Reid on the Judge's table this fall.

What is the X-Factor?  Well, luckily for you back in February I wrote a post titled, "What Is The X-Factor?" - There is also a trailer by Simon Cowell himself.  

America’s sweetheart, world-renowned choreographer and pop icon Paula Abdul will join Cheryl Cole, Antonio “L.A.” Reid and Simon Cowell as a judge on THE X FACTOR, the highly anticipated singing competition series debuting this fall on FOX. Abdul, who sat alongside Cowell for eight seasons as a judge on AMERICAN IDOL, has worldwide album sales exceeding 50 million records, two No. 1 albums, six No. 1 singles, a Grammy Award, seven MTV Awards, two Emmy Awards, two People’s Choice Awards and two Kids’ Choice Awards. Abdul will join Cole, Cowell, and Reid as they travel to THE X FACTOR audition cities searching for the next global superstar or breakout music group. “This show would never have been the same without Paula and I can’t believe I am saying this – I have missed her a lot, and I am thrilled she’s on the show,” said Simon Cowell. “I am excited beyond words to be a part of THE X FACTOR. I couldn’t be happier to bring my love for cultivating talent and performance to such a wildly anticipated show,” said Paula Abdul. “I’m looking forward to being back with the FOX/FremantleMedia family and know that it will be an extraordinary journey — we’re going to have a blast. I’m also delighted and grateful to be sitting next to Simon again…but you might want to check back with me in a week or two!” “Paula is not only the lovely, nurturing person that America fell in love with, but she’s also one of the fiercest competitors I’ve ever seen — which makes her a perfect fit to judge THE X FACTOR,” said Mike Darnell, President of Alternative Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company. “Paula and Simon have undeniable chemistry, and together with L.A. Reid and Cheryl Cole, I think we’ve put together an incredibly entertaining judges’ panel.” “I’m thrilled to be working with Paula again,” says executive producer Cecile Frot-Coutaz. “A consummate entertainer in her own right, she has an extraordinary talent and generosity for nurturing performers — and her chemistry with Simon Cowell is like no other. I especially look forward to seeing her signature sensibilities in action during our mentoring rounds!” Auditions continue in Dallas, TX, on Thursday, May 26. THE X FACTOR is searching for undiscovered talent 12 years old or over – both solo artists and vocal groups – who are willing to brave the panel for a chance to win a $5 million recording contract with Syco/Sony Music. Interested solo artists and vocal groups should sign up now for audition information at fox.com/theXfactor or call toll-free 855-345-5678. In a departure from other singing competition series, the first time contestants audition for THE X FACTOR judges, they will do so in front of an audience of thousands – raising the stakes and increasing the pressure to impress not only the judges, but also a potential legion of fans. This will be the ultimate test to prove they have the vocal ability, charisma and stage presence that it takes to win an unprecedented $5 million recording contract with Syco/Sony Music.

Welcome back Paula! I can't wait to see you with Simon once again.  Just lay off the drugs and alcohol this time, lmao, just say'n.

For All You Star Wars (Prequel) Haters

Yesterday I brought you posters in Lego, today I bring you "The Force" in Lego!  Haha, it's actually a video done by YouTuber, dzine123.

So if your one of the original trilogy fans who hated the prequels and wish to see them in a condensed version - this video is for you.  All three prequels in less than 2.5 minutes - you can't beat that.  I'm still waiting for the condensed versions of Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter in Lego.  Hell, all of the Friday the 13ths in Lego would suffice. LoL

How To Use Chopsticks

I love to eat with chopsticks whenever we have Chinese takeout, but Ryan, on the other hand, doesn't.  Over the last two months when we ordered dinner from Panda Express, we made it a custom to eat with chopsticks.  Ryan was none too happy - he would get frustrated and start eating with a fork.  This image only reminded me of him.  LMAO.

OMG Hilarious! - Bugs

Keeping It Old Skool - Issue No. 7 - My Little Pony

Awwwww, "My Little Pony."  This was my partner, Ryan's favorite childhood toy.  I remember these god-awful creatures, and they still exist today.  I even remember my sister having a couple of these.  She would brush their long manes and gallop around the house like she was actually riding a horse.  Here's the original commercial >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Launched in 1983, these horrendous toys consisted of many different sets, starting with the Rainbow Ponies (which all sported rainbow-colored manes and tails). Other variations included the So-Soft Ponies (which were entirely covered in flocking), Twinkle-Eyed Ponies (with small rhinestones in place of the eyes), Twice As Fancy Ponies (with patterns covering most of the body), Brush n' Grow Ponies (which had a longer-than-usual tail stored inside the body that could be drawn out through brushing) and Baby Ponies, which were smaller versions of their mothers.

And if you couldn't remember their names, because you threw away their birth certificate and special little brush, all you had to do was look at their ass, because it was branded with a distinctive design reflecting their name.

Below is a video of My Little Ponies lip-synching to "Dreamgirls" and "Wicked."

Honestly, I couldn't get through it all, it was too freaking creepy!  I enjoyed playing with my Transformers, He-man and Star Wars figurines.  Really Ryan, what were you thinking? My Little Pony, really?

I won't lie, He-man did have fun riding my sister's My Little Pony.

Movies in Lego: Summer 2011

Back in February, Nextmovie.com released several movie posters before the Oscars which depicted the nominees for Best Motion Picture, all in Lego; I thought they were outrageously hilarious.

Nextmovie.com has now released their rendition of this Summer's blockbuster movies in similar fashion, and they are equally cute and funny.

Green Lantern, Captain America, and Thor are my favorites :-)

The Facebook Dichotomy

Ahhh, this comic is so true; Our society has become so ingrained in Facebook that we tend to overlook the way were before Facebook came to be.

Movies in Rewind: Thor

Ryan and I had the pleasure of watching "Thor" this weekend, and I'd have to say it was a great way to start off the Superhero summer.  Overall, I'd say the movie gets an 8 out of 10.

If you're not familiar with the story, Thor is an immortal god derived from Norse Mythology, and is a hammer-wielding god associated with thunder, lightning, storms, oak trees, strength, destruction, fertility, healing, and the protection of mankind. 

The Thor created by Stan Lee of Marvel Comics has been an ongoing member of the superhero team The Avengers.   In the movie, Thor is thrown down to earth by his father, Odin from the planet Asgard.  He was very arrogant and obnoxious so Odin felt he needed to learn how to be more humble and deserving of his hammer, which is the source of his might and power.

The movie, which also featured Anthony Hopkins and Natalie Portman, had some comedic elements to it too, plenty of one-liners and great special effects. On a side note, I couldn't picture anyone else playing Thor other than Chris Hemsworth - the producers made the right decision when picking him.  

Plenty of surprises are in store for whoever watches this movie - like catching a glimpse of Jeremy Renner as The Avenger's Hawkeye, and if you wait to see the post credits you'll see Nick Fury make a return as the S.H.E.I.L.D. agent from the Iron Man Films.  Most importantly, there's a scene which  really shows the set up for Captain America and The Avengers, as it shows the cosmic cube while Erik Selvig is talking with Nick Fury.

Ohhh... and it also shows that Loki now has control over Erik Selvig.

If you haven't seen the movie, I highly suggest you do,  Here's a 2-1/2 minute trailer for you to take a peak at....

 

What Really Happened To Osama?

So what really happened to Osama bin Laden?  Has the U.S. Government been telling us the truth?  After watching this chilling video, I'm not sure what to think anymore...

OMG Hilarious! - Cyclops

Thank you, Johnny!

On May 5th, Johnny Weir (my gay icon) became royally pissed-off that the U.S. Olympic Committee chose to designate former gymnast, Peter Vidmar as our country's 'chef de mission' for the International Olympic Committee and Olympic Games in London - a bigot who protested publicly and donated money to Prop 8, which eventually overturned gay marriage in California.

“I certainly wouldn’t want to be represented by someone who is anti gay marriage. It isn’t just about marriage; it is being allowed equal rights as Americans. The fact this man who is very publicly against something that may be represented on the American team is disgraceful.”

And it looks like the queen has spoken - my gay idol came out fighting, and won!  He took home the Gold Medal! 
According to USA Today, Peter Vidmar has resigned amid his personal beliefs. 

“I wish that my personal religious beliefs would not have become a distraction from the amazing things that are happening in the Olympic movement in the United States. I simply cannot have my presence become a detriment to the U.S. Olympic family. I hope that by stepping aside, the athletes and their stories will rightly take center stage."

Good Riddance!

Poster of the Week - Issue No. 13 - Delusions

Continuing alphabetically, I bring you this week's poster, "Delusions."

Let's Dance - Jennifer Lopez: On The Floor

Who's in the mood for a little upbeat music this morning?  How 'bout I play some Jennifer Lopez.  Let's Dance!   

On The Floor!

Dead or Alive?

Would it have been better to capture Osama bin Laden and try him for war crimes, or is he better off dead?  This is on the minds of majority of Americans.  

This article doesn't say it, but something tells me the right-wing nuts are only having a change of heart, because Obama is currently President.

Only Gay In The World - Video Premiere

I absolutely love Ryan James Yezak's music video parodies, they are the best!  I guess the fact that I'm Facebook friends with some of his performers makes me bias. NOT!!!  I would still love him and his excellent work.

A month ago I posted a parody to Britney Spears track, "Hold It Against Me," and it was much better than Britney's own video - not lying.  Ryan really puts a lot of time and effort into making these videos, and I highly doubt it's not costing him anything.

It's was a long time coming, but his next video parody has made it online, and as promised, it is titled, "Only Gay In The World," in reference to Rihanna's hit song, "Only Girl In The World."  As usual, the video is filled with hot, shirtless guys, and it follows a couple of gay kings, a cheerleader squad, some football players, gays in the military and ends with a reception preceded by a gay 'ol fabulous wedding.

Check it out - you're gonna love it! 

Quoted - Bill Clinton on Marriage Equality

"Our nation's permanent mission is to form a ‘more perfect union’ - deepening the meaning of freedom, broadening the reach of opportunity, strengthening the bonds of community. That mission has inspired and empowered us to extend rights to people previously denied them. Every time we have done that, it has strengthened our nation. Now we should do it again, in New York, with marriage equality. For more than a century, our Statue of Liberty has welcomed all kinds of people from all over the world yearning to be free. In the 21st century, I believe New York's welcome must include marriage equality." 

                                         - President Bill Clinton via a press release from the

Human Rights Campaign yesterday in New York.

We all know that President Clinton was instrumental in the passing of DOMA (Defense Of Marriage Act) and DADT (Don't Ask, Don't Tell,) but he did what he could at the time.  He had Republicans who were in control of the House and the Senate - there's really not much one can do with those nuts - he had to compromise.  

The former president has made up for it since he's left office, calling this his biggest regret and apologizing for it.  He has become a vocal supporter of the LBTQ community ever since.  Hillary, and daughter, Chelsea have also joined him in this fight.
