All You Little Monsters Are Going To Hell - So Says This Real Teenage Monster

Honestly?  I don't even know where to start with this.  Where are the parents who raised this pathetic excuse for a child? Okay, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that.  I'm just sick and tired of 12 year old kids preaching to us, and everyone else for that matter, on how we are going to hell if we have sex, if we listen to Gaga, or if we're gay; Unless we're Bieber-believers, we're damned!

First, the little brat doesn't know anything about the story of Judas - she needs to go back to summer camp and read her Bible.  Second, the song is not a reflection of Gaga having sex with Jesus or Judas, it goes much deeper than that, like having to deal with a relationship she's currently in, and third, who is she to judge others on the merits of religion?
  
Plus....

The fake crying to make herself look like she's "ONE" with God, is beyond repentance.

I haven't blogged about the release of "Judas," because I really haven't had the time to analyze it, or better yet, give it a thorough cleansing.  I will probably ask Ryan to listen to the song, and give his take on it - since he's the bigger fan of the two.

Geez... the video below made my day ;-/

James Duke Mason Trailblazes His Way Through Hollywood

If you don't know who the Go-Go's were or don't know who Belinda Carlisle is, then I'm going to ask, WTF?  Sorry, but one can't go through life not knowing or listening to her music.  Belinda was the lead vocalist of the Go-Go's who became successful as a solo-artist several years later.  I was such huge fan of hers growing up and "came out" when her song, "Circle in The Sand" hit the airwaves. 

As a matter of fact, she will be receiving her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this August.

I find it ironic how I listened to her music when I was a teenager, and here I am writing about her 18 year old son, James Duke Mason.  James is also the son of Morgan Mason, who worked as Ronald Reagan's assistant in the early 1980's and the grandson of the late British actor James Mason.  He is currently attending California Lutheran University as a freshman student pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Political Science, But his main love is acting, which is the main reason he moved to Los Angeles.  James has also worked as a page in the U.S. House of Representatives and volunteered for Hillary Clinton during the 2008 Democratic primaries.

True, James could pass for a gorgeous underwear model, but the main reason I'm writing about him, is because of his contributions to the LGBT community.  He has written a number of articles about his experience as a young gay person, participated in several roundtable discussions regarding LGBT youth, and recently created the Trailblazer Campaign, similar to the "It Gets Better" campaign which would help actors in Hollywood come out of the closet.  And we all know there are a lot of people in Hollywood who are gay, but are too afraid to come out.  "Coughs" Joe Jonas & Zac Efron - just kidding - That's wishful thinking on my part.

In the following video, James lets his viewers know what it was like growing up gay in high school, and lets them know he understands their pain and frustration, "It Gets Better," he tells them.  And after the jump there is another video explaining his Trailblazer campaign.

The Trailblazer Campaign...

Like the circle of life.... it's the circle of finding a job.

What's the real reason you can't find a job? Is it the fact you don't know how to present yourself during the interview, or is it not having the job - to give you the money - to purchase the gas - that takes you to the interview?

OMG Hilarious! - School No More!

A Wonder Woman Update - Video Included

So is it a rumor if the president of NBC says something questionable?  Probably not.

We've already seen two previous versions of the costume Adrianne Palicki will be wearing as Wonder Woman, but our Amazon superhero could be sporting yet another costume - a 70's star-studded short similar to what Lynda Carter wore in the original series.   In a recent interview with TV Line, Robert Greenblatt took to defending David E. Kelley's remake of the famous superhero series, by saying  there could be a future "look" for Diana Prince.

"There was an initial outcry about the long pants - you know, skintight pants as opposed to those little shorts [worn by Lynda Carter in the original TV series]. But the shorts were always planned. They are actually used in the final confrontation when she beats Veronica Cale (played by Elizabeth Hurley)."

In other developing news, yesterday Lynda Carter appeared on the daytime talk show, The Talk, looking as beautiful as ever.  She revealed that she had been in talks with David E. Kelley and refused to confirm whether or not she would play a role in the remake.

'I've talked to David E. Kelley, who's a brilliant writer, a number of times and we're hoping to plan something,' she said. 'But I cannot reveal.'

Asked what she thought of the new Wonder Woman costume, Carter grinned, 

'I like my costume the best of course. They're trying to update with the way we're all doing leggings now and skinny jeans. I think it's kind of trying to do that. David E. Kelley is full of surprises, so you never know what's going to happen. He's a brilliant guy.'

He's Hot, He's Asian, He's Harry Shum Jr. - Part Deux

I don't know why I'm so fascinated with Glee's Harry Shum, Jr., but I am.  You may remember the images from my post on March 3rd; well now there is an accompanying video to those images.

And how do I get that job - the one adding lotion to Harry?

A Huge Shuttle Show Down - It's Texas vs. New York

Things are getting ugly between Houston, Texas lawmakers and their counterparts in New York City, New York.  The War of Words started Friday when Texas lawmakers introduced a bill that would strip New York City of the Space Shuttle Enterprise and give it to Houston, Texas.

New York city Congressman Charles Schumer released a snarly statement by saying, "When people from Paris, Beijing, Tokyo and Amsterdam start saying they want to go to Houston, maybe then they'll get a shuttle. I'd say to Texas, don't mess with New York,"  knowing full well Texas is famous for their quote, "Don't Mess With Texas," the slogan used during the 1990's to keep people from littering our Texas highways with trash, or garbage.

Texas Congressman Ted Poe then fired back, "whether Senator Schumer likes it or not, the Big Apple had nothing to do with NASA or the space shuttle program until Tuesday."  Which is true, New York never had anything to do with the space shuttle program, Houston has long been involved since the beginning of space exploration.

Seventeen congressmen and congresswomen wrote and signed the letter which reads in part, "We can find no logical explanation for this decision."

 

I'm really curious to see how far this issue will go.  Are we heading towards a huge Texas Showdown?  Because if it's one thing Republicans in Texas are good at, is sticking it to others.  So Democrat, Schumer better be prepared.

Land of the Lost: An Empty Ghost City Built For Millions

It must be nice to be a country with so much wealth; One can simply throw it away.

We can't complain - we helped make China who they are today -  we bought all their exported merchandise. 

So imagine a city  built for 1 million people, but with no people living in it.  An Australian film crew recently made a trip to one of China's massive ghost towns built to boom the future economy and were surprised by what they found:

Vast new cities of apartments and shops are being built across China at a rate of ten a year, but they remain almost completely uninhabited ghost towns. It's all part of the government's efforts to keep the economy booming, and there are many people who would love to move in, but it's simply too expensive for most. Video journalist Adrian Brown wanders through malls of vacant shops, and roads lined with empty apartment buildings… 64 million apartments are said to be empty across the country and one of the few shop owners says he once didn't sell anything for four or five days. - Dateline

I found the video news footage rather intriguing - and fascinating.

A Special Tribute to Adele

The first time I heard of Adele, wasn't because I heard her singing, Chasing Pavements.  It was because I came across a video of a hot, shirtless, YouTuber named Brandon (pictured below), who was singing a cover of the same song.

But since the subject is about Adele, and not Brandon, I thought I would post two impressive music videos by Adele, and in doing so, apologize "in a sense" to a couple of friends.

This young lady has class, has a voice, and has a new fan.  It's not very often that I get turned on to a new artist, but Adele is the exception.  After giving my friends hell the other day over her music, I take back everything I ever said about the artist, I didn't know her.  

I saw her video, "Rolling in the Deep," and was truly drawn to her words, her music, the person that is Adele.  She reminds me so much of Patsy Cline, another artist who's music transformed country music into one of the greatest establishments ever created.

And then I listened to "Someone Like you," which was performed Live in her home.  I've come to the conclusion that Adele is nothing, but pure magic in every sense of the word - She is a true artist.  I cried to this damn song.

The Bully Project Trailer

If you're reading this I want you to click on that picture above and read what I circled in Red.  If your child has to resort to posting videos on YouTube and make a similar statement, you're doing something wrong.

I have two short sentences for you - If you're a parent, you should know better.  If you're a bully, blame your parents.

I grew up being bullied by classmates.  I know how it feels to be made fun of, picked on, hit, kicked, spit on, laughed at, the list goes on.  I can't even count the number of times I contemplated suicide, and if you know me personally today, you would never have thought that.  

You can also be bullied later in life as well. If you're in a relationship where your partner makes fun of you in front of other people, or mocks you for gaining weight, that's a bully.  If you make jokes about the person you love and then say, "I was just playing" - You're a bully.

"More than 18 million young people across the US will be bullied this year. This alarming documentary takes us into the disquieting day-to-day lives of five kids and their families over the course of a school year. Two families are left devastated by their sons' suicide, while one mother faces her 14-year-old daughter's incarceration after she threatens her bullies with a gun. Rare access to the Sioux City Community School District captures up close and disturbing 'on the ground' footage of bullying in classrooms, playgrounds, cafeterias, and school buses. Kids who are made into outcasts at school become the film's heroes as they defend their right to be different and courageously give testimony to the trauma and dangers of severe bullying.

And On The 8th Day, God Created Fox News...

So what if Fox News always existed?  Courtesy of Dangerous Minds, comes news like you've never seen it before.  My favorite one is Bill O'Reilly's Talking points - it's definitely something he would say, LOL.

Sorry, It's Over

Everyone has gone through a break-up, right?  If you haven't then you're in for a rude awakening.

Everyone has had a bad date, right?  If you haven't I suggest you see a shrink.  LMAO, just sayin'.

For those who have been through break-ups, relationships, dates, whatever - you more than likely have heard the phrase, "sorry, it's over," or something close to it.

Here's a straight male's perspective...

 

Can't wait to hear the female's perspective on this, or better yet, the Gay perspective, LOL.  It would be fierce!

Space Shuttle Facts

Now that the space shuttle orbiter is retired, and the remaining ships are going to their "chosen" cities (cries foul), I thought I'd share this informative chart on our popular spaceship.  

Both Challenger and Columbia encountered terrible disasters which happened during my lifetime.  Challenger exploded in 1986 while flying up into space, and Columbia fell apart over Texas during re-entry in 2003.
