The Shadow Dancer - Diet Wiegman

I spotted this crazy video online today and was fascinated by the artist behind it.  Diet Weigman takes piles of junk or objects of no importance and turns them into a work of art.  But it isn't the junk that creates the art, it's the shadow the rubbish portrays on the screen or wall.

When lit, the images of Michael Angelo's David, miscellaneous objects or various people appear before your eyes.  Video below.

Things That Make You Go Hmmm... H2O

Hydrogen is an explosive gas. 

Oxygen supports combustion. 

Yet when these are combined it is water which is used to put out fires.

Zombie Story

You want proof The Walking Dead and Toy Story are very much alike? Then look no further, I found it!  LMAO.  

Written by John Wray and posted by redditor jimmylegs50, the following images are absolutely hilarious, but they truly fit.  You can see a few below and all forty after the jump.

Check out the rest after the jump...

Sir Ravi The Juggler 2

Yep, Ravi is back, and this time he isn't messing around.  Two weeks ago I posted a video of him juggling two balls and a Rubik's Cube.  He solved it in 1-1/2 minutes! WHILE JUGGLING!

But this time around, Ravi juggles three Rubik's cubes and attempts to solve all three at the same time!  Does he do it?  Check him out.

My Gay Agenda

I thought this image was humorous, but I had to say something about it...

Yeah, so we've heard it all before.  We gays have an agenda.  All gays want to force homosexuality down people's throats, molest their children, keep people from saying Merry Christmas instead of Happy Holidays, and we all have AIDS.

Seriously?

Yes, we have an Agenda, and I can tell you right now, it doesn't interfere with your lives.  We don't want to know what you do in the privacy of your own home. We don't want to take away your marriage licenses, or sleep with you.  We don't have a desire to molest your children, actually the likelihood that it's one of your family members (who's straight) is a more plausible answer, considering statistics show that straight people molest children more often than gays.  Hell, look at all those teachers (straight women and men) sleeping with their students.

As for the AIDS issue, this shouldn't even be one.  AIDS is a sexually transmitted disease that can pass from male to male, female to male, male to female; Either way you look at it, it is not a "Gay" disease.  It's your disease too.

And finally, the Christmas thing is actually a religious nut idea, nothing really to do with gays - I just through it in there to be funny, because we're blamed for everything.  Republicans, like Sarah Palin think non-christians are out to take the Christ out of Christmas.  What does it matter? I say Merry Xmas (and yes I used an X), and say Happy Holidays too!

Must Watch: Coca-Cola - If You Stand Up, We Lose

I saw this video the other day and I'd have to say it's one of the best Coca-Cola advertisements I have seen in my life.  The ad is titled, "Chairs".

I remember drinking up to 6 diet cokes a night while watching our TV shows.  Not only was this contributing to an unhealthy lifestyle, but it was hurting our budget at the same time.  Ryan doesn't drink soft drinks, so it took me a while to learn.

The ad is phenomenol, you have to watch it.

I'd have to say the did a terrific job of telling us what we should do with our lazy asses.  Stand Up!

Things We Can Do To Save The Environment - Issue No. 14 - Ride the Bus

I can't even recall the last time I rode a bus to work.  But the one time I did, I was living in Corpus Christi, TX.  I remember having to rely on the bus for at least two weeks when the transmission in my Chevrolet Lumina (don't ask), fell out.

There were two good things that came out of that experience, I met some wonderful people on the bus and saved a bunch of money on gas!!!!  But just as I was able to keep some extra money in my pocket, I contributed to our environment in some form or another.

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!

14. Ride the Bus

With transport accounting for more than 30% of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions, one of the best ways to reduce them is by riding something many of us haven't tried since the ninth grade: a bus. Public transit saves an estimated 1.4 billion gal. of gas annually, which translates into about 14 million tons of CO2, according to the American Public Transportation Association.
 
Unfortunately, 88% of all trips in the U.S. are by car. Partly, that's because public transportation is more readily available in big urban areas. One promising alternative is bus rapid transit (BRT), which features extra-long carriers running in dedicated lanes. Buses emit more carbon than trains, but that can be minimized by using hybrid or compressed-natural-gas engines. A study last year by the Breakthrough Technologies Institute found that a BRT system in a medium-size U.S. city could cut emissions by as much as 654,000 tons over 20 years. 

Thanks to high gas prices, miles driven per motorist dropped in 2005 for the first time since 1980, according to the Pew Research Center. The U.S. is ready to change. We're just waiting for the bus.
 
The original version of this article misstated the total amount of CO2 emissions saved annually by public transit. It is 14 million, not 1.5 million, tons.

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 grandchildren's future.

What a Hot Mess: Gaming at Wal-Mart

You see, this is what happens when you sit around all day doing nothing.  What a Hot Mess! 
 
Thank God I did nothing but play outside when I was a child.  But then again, we didn't have the luxury of online gaming and consoles to keep us inside. Or is this truly a luxury?

Look, maybe I shouldn't be so judgmental with this, because I've lost 61 pounds over the last 8 months.  But I did this in my later years and "I" chose to eat the things I did. When we were children, parents made those decisions.  They told us to go biking, or play at the park.  As a matter of fact, we did have a game console... It was ATARI, but this game in a box didnt' define who we were.  We wanted to play Superman and Wonder Woman, and run around all day long.  I know, it's the little things in life that made us happy. LOL.

What's Up With All Those Damn Red Equality Signs?

So in case you haven't noticed, your Facebook news feed is probably covered with Red Equality Signs.  That's because the Human Rights Campaign is encouraging you to stand up for marriage equality, as the Supreme Court will take up two cases involving Gay Marriage starting today.

And if your Facebook isn't lit up with all these red equality signs, its probably because you're one of my straight friends who doesn't hang out with too many homosexuals, but that's okay, because we love you all the same. :-)

The first arguments will be heard today involving the infamous Proposition 8 ruling in California where opponents of gay marriage managed to strip away the rights of all those couples who wanted to be recognized as an equal.  Tomorrow the court will hear the arguments involving the Defense of Marriage Act.

In short, if Proposition 8 is upheld (ruled unconstitutional), same-sex couples in California who were married, and want to marry will be legal.  

The Defense of Marriage Act is a whole 'nother story.... the decision here could legalize gay marriage nationwide, something most conservatives, Republicans, and Christians will go nuts over.

We should hopefully hear something before June, if not, sometime in July or August.  Stand up, wear your red and be proud.

This is so wrong!  So why am I laughing?  LOL.

A Very Special Moment - Issue #6: Imagine a World Without Hate

It's time for A Very Special Moment, and this one hits close to home.  Actually, the previous issues hit pretty close too.

For those who are here for the first time, I created this series because I always come across videos on the internet, that I swear, are very special moments, and this video is a perfect example of one.  Have you ever wondered what it would be like if people didn't hate?  I have... hundreds of times.

But for the people in this video, it was something that overcame them.  It's time to reflect.  Reflect on what could have been.  Reflect on what "Hate" took away from us.  And this goes for straights and gays, as both are highlighted in the video.

Imagine a World Without Hate™, one where the hate crimes against Martin Luther King, Anne Frank, Matthew Shepard and others did not take place. Support us in the fight against bigotry and extremism by sharing this inspirational video and taking the pledge to create a world without hate at http://www.adl.org/imagine.

21 Accents In Under 3 Minutes

I thought this video clip was pretty cool.  You Tube Vlogger, Actress, Singer, and Director, Amy Walker give us a tour of 21 accents in under 3 minutes.  Quite impressive, I might say.

Amy Walker describes herself as "an actress, singer and writer who embodies a vast range of expression.

Her passion is performing in meaningful productions that inspire positive action in fulfilling our true potential as individuals and as a global community. She has received worldwide acclaim for the authenticity of her myriad accents, heightening the realism of each role, as she plunges joyously into the juice of humanity."

Actually, this boy took it a little further...

Look at the pics after the jump...

My Christian Thoughts - Issue #5 - The Bible Never Changes, Science Does

Honesty, thank God, Lord Jesus, this man was never elected.  OMG, what an idiot.  I'm sorry, but people like Joe infuriate me, especially those who claim to be God-fearing, God-loving Christians.

It's a Sunday and it's My Christian Thoughts!

So apparently, Joe the plumber can't stop reminiscing about those glory days when he and his football buddies would play "Smear the Queer" - because that was normal.  I'm going to say he was probably one of those that also beat up on the smaller boys.  But today isn't about smearing us gay men, it's about this video.

In it, Joe talks about when he became a Christian and his youth pastor showed him the light.  That unlike our Science books that keep being revised, because we humans are still trying to figure things out, The Holy Bible never changes.  Oh, I love how pastors like to use analogies when trying to explain things - it makes them so much smarter.

I'm going to refer you to an earlier  post, "Isn't This The Truth? How Many More Versions?", where I explained the reasoning behind "versions" and "translations" of the Bible.  So yes, The Holy Bible has been revised several times, and it's because "Humans are still trying to figure things out".

Has it ever occurred to Mr. Wurzelbacher that Science books change because answers are found, discoveries are being made, and Polio is 99% gone from the world?  That the car he drives to work, the pill he swallows for a headache, and the chair he is sitting on, are all owed to science.

I can go on and on, but I'm going to close with this.  Joe, if you're going to say something, do a little research on it before you speak your mind.  And for those who feel I'm wrong for saying the things I say, I'm sorry, but the truth may hurt a little.  These are My Christian Thoughts after all.

Yummy Sony Xperia Soup

So how do you prove to your friends that your "Sony Xperia Z" is better than any iPhone they will ever own?  Oh, I don't know, invite them over for dinner and serve them soup with an Xperia in it?  LOL.

Seriously, check out this video of a Sony Xperia Z being thrown into a pot of hot steaming soup, and still function after a small wipe down. Skip to about 1:25 in the video.

It's Purely Animal - Issue No. 59 - The Photo Bombing Dog

Our dogs would so do this.  I can't count the number of times our 4 chihuahuas photo bomb our camera while we're recording a video or taking pictures.  Just recently I was posting a video on YouTube and there was our chihuahua, Lady, photo-bombing away.

Checkout this Craigslist apartment listing where this cute dog has managed to photo-bomb every photo in the ad.  Too adorable.
