Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me.

The Hidden Door

I guess no one can break-in through your garage, if you don't have one.  I must say, whoever created this is quite talented.

 

Though... after 2 million views on YouTube, I highly doubt it's a secret anymore, LOL.

Were' Done With Dallas!

 
After two long years (357 episodes of oil drilling, backstabbing, and back-handed deals that included sex, adultery, alcohol, drugs, gays, murderers, and BBQs), Ryan and I finished watching 14 seasons of one of the world's most-beloved televisions series of all time - DALLAS.  And it couldn't have happened at a much better time, because it wasn't until a few months ago that we learned the show was returning to our TV sets in the fall. 

It is not a remake as many people thought it was going to be, but for all intent and purposes it's a continuation of the drama that makes up the Ewing family.

Of course, along with seeing J.R.,

Larry Hagman as J.R. Ewing

you'll be seeing his son, John Ross...

Josh Henderson as John Ross Ewing

And along with seeing J.R.'s brother, Bobby,

Patrick Duffy as Bobby Ewing

you'll be seeing his son Christopher...

Jesse Metcalfe as Christopher Ewing

Yes, you got that right.  It's the Ewing boys all grown up, and the producers couldn't have made a better casting decision when it came to finding who would play John Ross Ewing, III and Christopher Ewing, the sons of J.R. and Bobby respectively.

Josh Henderson is perfect for the role of John Ross, he has the aura of a bad boy that will work well with his character, and Jesse Metcalfe who will be playing the adopted son of Bobby and Pamela Ewing is just the right pick to play Christopher, because while Bobby was the heart of the show, J.R. played to it's strengths.

Ryan and I have yet to start watching the two movies that came 5 and 7 years after the series ended, but as soon as we are done with those, we will be hot and ready for the continuation of Dallas airing on TNT this fall - it's been 13 years too long. We are definitely excited.

Mind-Boggling News: The Rate of Our Nation's Obesity

As Mind-boggling as it is, I had to post this chart.  I can't believe what's happening before our very eyes.

Magical Fun 101: The Burning Wallet

OMG this is downright hilarious.  I know I have many series or segments that I run on my blog, but sometimes it takes me two or three months to find interesting information to post, so it's well worth the wait.  In my new series, Magical Fun 101, I bring you a guy who likes playing magical tricks on cashiers at drive-thru restaurants.
In this particular case, each time he drives up to the window to pay, he pulls out his wallet which catches on fire.  Each one of them jump back and say some of the craziest shit.  LOL, it's hilarious.  At one point, he says it's the sun shining through the window that causes it, or the moon if he drives up at night. People actually look out the window and look up.

Mind-Boggling News: Woman Goes On Rampage at Fast Food Restaurant

What is wrong with people, really?  Am I just being too judgemental?  

When idiots like this (see video) walk into a McDonald's restaurant, and go all American Psycho on the employees, they're not only making a fool of themselves, but showing the world how well our education system is working. Okay, maybe I shouldn't have said that, because smart people pull this crap too.  In either case, this is the second time in two weeks I've come across a disturbing video a involving a McDonald's restaurant.
 

I don't think I'll be working at a McDonald's anytime soon - it's life or death it seems like.  My love (my partner Ryan), if you're reading this, please stay at Bank of America - it's safer!

Poster of the Week - Issue No. 11 - Dare To Slack

Continuing alphabetically, I bring you this week's poster, "Dare To Slack."

Christians Perform Live Crucifixions

I'm going to say, you're not a true Christian unless you can do what your fellow brethren in the Philippines do every Easter.  PERFORM LIVE CRUCIFIXIONS.

YES, you just read that. 

Every "Good Friday" Christians in the Philippines partake in annual ritual (that's what I will call it) where they re-enact the bloody crucifixion of Jesus Christ by beating, and nailing volunteers to an actual wooden cross.  Those who wish to portray the son of God, say its a blessing to take part in something so true to their hearts.  One American, who wanted to witness a "live" crucifixion went so far as to say, "from what I've seen so far it seems pretty exciting, pretty crazy, but totally a unique experience, something that I would never see in America."  No Fucking Shit!

Is Sodomy Illegal In Your State?

In Texas, Republicans are blocking a bill that would repeal the state’s unconstitutional ban on “homosexual conduct.” Eight years after Lawrence v. Texashere are the 14 states that still have anti-sodomy laws on the books.

Art In The Most Despicable Form

The Twins
I seriously wonder about certain people sometimes. What would compel an artist to exploit recent horrid events in order to create art?  This just baffles me, but Canadian photographer Jonathan Hobin did just that.  The worst part being - the use of children dressed up in garb, like the late Princess Diana in the car crash that killed her, the prisoners in Abu Ghraib, the 9/11 towers tragedy, the Jonestown massacre, and many more as you'll find here.   

Hobin makes the following statement in his portfolio:
The quizzical disposition of youth and the pervasive nature of the media are symbolically represented in my images through tableau-vivant re-enactments of the very current events that adults might wish to keep out of their child’s world. Just as children make a game of pretending to be adults as a way to prepare and ultimately take on these roles in later life, so too do they explore things that they hear or see, whether or not they completely understand the magnitude of the event or the implications of their play.

Kids Fear The Easter Bunny

Was the video below really necessary? These kids will be traumatized for the rest of their lives, and then you wonder why people have a fear of the Easter Bunny

Now I'm scared of the damn thing, and that's because Ryan and I just finished watching "Here Comes Peter Cottontail" last week.

Then again this could be used as an instructional video for Jehovah's Witnesses, don't they hate Easter? 

I'm sorry, that was out of line - they just don't celebrate any holiday as they interpret it as idol-worshiping.

Nick Jonas Takes A Dip

Happy Saturday Morning to all my Blog Readers!



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.

Post Secret Fridays - Issue 056


PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a postcard.




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.

Nick Jonas Is Getting Hotter Every Day


Color me stupid, but doesn't Nick Jonas look more muscular today, than yesterday?  Lordy, this boy is only 18 years old, but he's turning into one fine specimen of a man.
