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 - - - - - - - - - - -

The Right Way To Do A Leg Workout

This post is for those guys who go to the gym and workout their legs regularly.  Now, granted, I think I have some nice legs and work them out every Tuesday and Thursday, but they sure as hell don't look like this. LOL.

Some Pretty Cool Stuff - Issue No. 010

Are you ready for Some Pretty Cool Stuff?
 
Let's just say that if you had limited living space, this would probably benefit you.  Think IKEA in a box.  No, this is not made by the company, but it made me think of them.

The Room In A Box
Casulo - The Mobile Living Furniture is just that "A Room in a Box".  And it measures only 4' x 3' in size.  There are no tools required, yet out of this box you will have a desk, shelves, a wardrobe, chairs, and a bed.

I think it's pretty cool, check out the video for assembly.
 
Now, for the more expensive of the two, but also with very limited space.

The Yo! Home - Transforming Apartment
You've probably seen these type of customizations before.  But nothing like this - it's pretty darn cool.  Call it the Yo! Home.  And Simon Woodroffe wants to make this available for everyone!  Imagine having your bed fall from the ceiling over your living area?

1331 Days Until the 2016 Presidential Election

I know all of you are expecting Hillary Clinton to run in 2016, so don't get too excited over this.  Well, my liberal friends at least.

Yes, Hillary will run.  Why wouldn't she?  She's been the most popular and most admired woman in America for over 20 years, and according to Gallup the most popular woman in the world.  So when anyone ever asks me, "Peter, do you think she's running?"  I most emphatically say yes.
Take for instance, the fact she's created a new website called HillaryClintonOffice.com.  Sure it's nothing more than just a picture of herself and a large button that says "Contact", but it sure leaves one to question the "office" in the web address. Things that make you go hmmm... LOL.

Then there's the fact that she has transferred the balance of her campaign funds to the Friends of Hillary organization.

Or if you just want to go to HillaryClinton.com, you can click on the link "Click here to reach the Office of Hillary Clinton." and you will go straight to her Hillary Clinton Office once again.

Let's just say she doesn't really have to do a thing, as super PACs have started forming in anticipation of her 2016 run.

I, for one, am excited.  And provided she's in good health, will be ready to make history as our nation's first woman President.

Isn't This The Truth? Pictures We Didn't Take Before Digital Cameras

LMAO.  I look at all these and I see my Facebook newsfeed!  And yes, I'm guilty of some of them.  Honestly though, before digital photography came into existence, were you using your 35 mm camera to take pictures of yourself?  Did you take pictures of the food you were eating at a restaurant, or the wing of an airplane as you were taking a picture of the sky? LOL.  You will laugh at all these, check them out.

Are People Really This Stupid? Issue No. 33 - Motorcyle Burnout

So this guy thinks burning out a tire on a motorcycle is waaaaay cool.  Sure, no one was hurt in the making of this video, but are people really this stupid?  I' mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a gas tank near the tire or mere inches away?  Just sayn'.

What a Hot Mess: Street Perfomer Punches Annoying Guy In The Face

There are few things we shouldn't do in life. Be a jerk, being a jerk, and jerking people around.  Oh, and mess with street performers.

In the following clip, a street performer can only take so much prodding until he punches an annoying guy in the face.  LMAO, What a Hot Mess!

A Case of the Brain Farts?

C'mon, who hasn't had a Brain Fart at one point or another? Hell, I lose my train of thought at least once a week. LOL.  But seriously though, have you ever been in a middle of a conversation and before you knew it, the conversation was over and you had no foggy idea what the conversation was about? - That's a Brain Fart.

Think Dory from Disney's animated classic, "Finding Nemo" - that's a serious case of the Brain Farts.  LOL.

If you've spelled a word a certain way all your life, and then all of sudden you can't remember how to spell it - that's a Brain Fart.

Below are 13 of the most common Brain Farts known to mankind.  How many have you experienced?  I'll be honest, I've experienced every one. LOL.

Saturday Morning Coffee Break: Help Straight Couples From Getting Divorced and Hating Their Children

If you're waking up on a Saturday morning and I'm on your Facebook news feed, you're probably familiar with my Saturday Morning Coffee Break series.  Every weekend I ask my readers to grab a cup of coffee and join me for a short gay film.  It can range anywhere from 2 to 15 minutes, or maybe more.  Regardless, I try to post films focusing on being in the closet, coming out, falling in love, hate, abuse, bullying, and/or parenting, but most importantly, videos representing who we are in some form or another.

In today's issue, we come across a video that was written and posted by YouTube vlogger, Brandon Muller.  He and a few of his friends produced an anti-marriage ad that is quite humorous and I had to share it. 

In the following Ultimate Anti-Gay Marriage Ad, a couple confronts the horrific consequences of same-sex marriage, while their daughter worries if mommy and daddy will still love her if this sacrilege is allowed.

While it is an advertisement for a cause, it is in essence a short film.  Check it out.

How Not To Get Stuck Next To Someone That Sucks

Pure genius.  You've always had this problem. You arrive at a dinner party and don't know where to sit?  If the table is a 4 person, circle it's pretty simple. But if you're talking about a 6 or 8 person rectangular table, things start to get difficult.  How do you keep from getting stuck at the lonely side of the table, or sitting next to someone you particularly don't want to sit next to?

Well, Alex Cornell has given us some tips on choosing the right seat.  Check out his infographic and explanation:
One of the most complex social situations you will encounter is the 45 seconds that elapse while deciding where to sit for dinner at a restaurant. Your choice should appear natural, unbiased and haphazard if executed properly. Timing is everything.

These 45 seconds determine how enjoyable your next 2 hours will be. Once the pieces start to fall into place and people take their seats, your choices narrow. People sit, seemingly at random, and if you don't take the appropriate measures, you're inevitably stuck at the least interesting end of the table.
4 Person Circle: This is the ideal setup. You are safe sitting in any seat. Regardless how interesting everyone is, you pretty much can’t go wrong. Note: as the diameter of the table increases, so too does the importance that you sit adjacent to someone you like.
4 Person Square: This configuration (as opposed to two chairs on each side) is less fraught with problems. Something to watch out for is diagonal conversations, i.e. breaking the into two parts and getting stuck with the more boring of the three tablemates.
6 Person Circle: How loud the restaurant is determines how important it is that you claim a middle seat. A quiet space allows for cross-table diagnoal talking, and generally one conversation. A loud space however forces multiple conversations and less diagonal.
8 Person Rectangle: To get one of the interior 4 seats, you need to time your approach expertly. You can’t be first, else you’ll be expected to file to the end. And you can’t be last, else you’ll be stuck with the least interesting seat at the table. Timing is everything.
7 Person Rectangle: It’s very easy to get screwed in this scenario. While it may appear like you can sit anywhere except the ends, this is not so. You are at risk of sitting next to the lonely end-seat, which requires you to speak soley to that person for the duration of the meal.
2 Tables of Any Size: You’re fucked. Regardless of how you time your approach, you will inevitably choose too soon. Lament as the other table’s attendance crystallizes into what is clearly the superior group. Sometimes it’s best to visit the bathroom while seats are chosen, so any seating disasters are the result of chance, and not your own miscalculation.

Expectations vs. Reality

Here's a few things we usually expect, but in reality it's the other way around.  LMAO.  Hope you enjoy.
