Must Watch: Muscle-ripped Guy Becomes a Hot Chick over a Span of Two Years

I'm speechless, I really don't know what to say.  He was so hot as a guy, but.... as a girl, he's even hotter.

Seriously speaking though, it has to be difficult being transgendered in today's society.  I really don't know much about it to say anything, which is even more reason to read about it.  

Much like the gay community, they too are bullied, beaten, and persecuted for who they are.  Although, I tend to think they go through much more difficult situations and heartache than gay people.

I just wish we lived in a world, where there was no judging of one another.

Alien Worlds

According to Space.com, astronomers have discovered more than 700 alien planets beyond the solar system, and the count is rising all the time. Some are large and hot, and others are smaller and cooler, but scientists are still on the lookout for an Earth twin.

They just got closer, with the announcement Dec. 5 of a planet found by NASA's Kepler space telescope to lie in the habitable zone around its star where liquid water, and perhaps life, could exist.

Blade's Box of Jams: Track #11 - We Are Young

Currently listening to...

fun.

It doesn't matter what people say online, everyone who saw Glee last night was introduced to a song they never heard before, or if they did, never really paid attention to it until they watched last night's episode.  

The reason artists agree to have their songs sung by the cast of Glee is for exposure.  Whether its a legend, or an up and coming artist, they all want it.  Imagine all the purchases made through iTunes last night. One you tube commenter wrote, "Yeah glee brought me here as well. Like both versions, prefer this version. Bought all three. love Jannelle Monae. Love fun. Love glee."

I'll be honest, the moment I finished hearing Glee's version of the song, I researched it and found the original. "We Are Young" is sung by the band fun.; It is an American indie pop band based in New York City.  Feel free to join their Facebook or Twitter here.  You can also catch last night's performance by Glee after the jump. But for now, let's listen and watch the moving video by fun.

For those of you who are saying "why did I just spend 4:11 minutes watching?' You watched a moving piece of art. It is showing us, as old (the apple) and tonight we are going to be young. As we grow old, we retain the youth inside us and tonight it comes out. We shed (or cut) off that skin and show off our youth once more. That is what the video is about. It's telling us, no matter how old you are, tonight, we are young. So let's set the world on fire, we can burn brighter than the sun. Tonight - Cynix7

Glee's version of the song was very emotional for both Ryan and I, because we know the characters of the show, and what they're going through. So for us, it is going to be bittersweet to see some of them go at the end of the season.  The version after the jump introduced us to another fabulous artist, and for that we are grateful.

On February 5th, A Legend Will Rock America's Largest Stage...

Madonna will take center stage at halftime of Super Bowl XLVI, flanked by Cirque du Soleil performers in what traditionally is one of the year's most watched shows.

The NFL announced Sunday night, in a press release, that the Michigan-born singer would headline the halftime show on February 5, 2012, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

She follows other high-profile acts in recent years, including the Black Eyed Peas and Usher during the most recent edition of pro football's championship game at Cowboys Stadium in Texas. [source]

What a Hot Mess: Waitstaff Walks Out on Chef and Local Restaurant

I knew that Ryan's birthday was coming up, and wanted to plan dinner for his birthday.  One of the three choices was The Rainforest Cafe, Dave & Busters or The Ruggles Grill.  

We had previously mentioned the Rainforest Cafe to our friends, but we hadn't told them of Ruggles as an option.  When it came down to having dinner at Dave & Busters or Ruggles, we decided on the latter.

So you can imagine my surprise when I came across this article on Facebook this morning.  The Ruggles Waitstaff Stages Walk-Out, Alleging Non-Payment of Tips.  What a Hot Mess!

According to the article, 

"This past Saturday night at Ruggles was a busy one. There were nearly 200 customers packing the restaurant at Westheimer and Montrose, with a skeleton crew of only five waiters out of a normal 10-man crew. And at 7 p.m., all five of those waiters -- as well as Ruggles's general manager -- walked out, closing the restaurant behind them."

"We told the customers there was a gas leak," said Jeremiah Villarreal, 28, a University of Houston sports medicine student who had been a waiter at Ruggles since June.

Lucky for us, we planned dinner for Sunday, because we couldn't make dinner on Saturday. And two, Dave & Busters ended up being the best choice.  We had a great time, and played some arcade games afterwards.

The article has since been udpated, with the owner/chef, admitting that he owes "about $14,000 to $15,000 to catch everybody up."

This is the 14th poster out of the 20 posters I have shared with you over the past several months.

Every week I have been asking, "What if the world were a village of 100 people?"  And by using statistics based on the spread of the population in the world, Toby Ng Design created these posters as another way of looking at how our world is today.

School Portrait

No matter what you do, you cannot tell the girl with the ginger hair to stop smiling.  Directed by Nick Scott and Produced by Michael Berliner, this cute short film will make you smile and laugh.

The film, titled, "School Portrait," features students coming in to have their school pictures taken.  Unbeknownst to them, the photographer will do what he can to keep them from smiling.  And he does this by having the kids say things like, "The banking crisis means I will never afford a home" or he tells a little girl, "there isn't a pet heaven".  Sounds cruel, I know, but it's actually quite funny.

Cello Wars: The Phantom Cellist

I'm sure none of you have ever seen something quite like this.  Those who have been in a high school band, college, or elsewhere would probably appreciate this video more.  I actually enjoyed it, it was pretty cool.

The guys behind the video never expected it would take them 70 days to put this together, but it did.  It took more than 7,000 frames, 72 audio tracks, 24 hours of filming through the night in front of a green screen, the most props and costumes they ever used, several broken bows and strings, and over 1,000 hours of editing and rendering -- they felt like they had taken on the entire EMPIRE! 

So without further ado, The Piano Guys and Steven Sharp Nelson present to you...

Computer Love, Love, Love, Love, Love, Love

Can you find love online?  Yes, you can.  Look at Ryan and I.  We're at 6-1/2 years and counting. :-)

I posted this video on Facebook over a year or two ago.  Once again, it goes to show why I started blogging again.  I can't find things I posted on Facebook older than year or more.  Memories, kind words, loving comments, ridiculous shenanigans (all gone).  

Luckily, someone on Facebook posted this video online the other day, and I can store it on my blog forever.  It is absolutely adorable, never mind that the guy is hot.

Putting that aside, Jacob, the 21 year star in the video, became a YouTube sensation with over 500,000 hits within a matter of days. He uploaded the video you're about to see, as a love confession to his online friend, Anthony in sign language. It literally melted the hearts of millions within weeks!

Jacob and Anthony have been together since April, 2010, and are still madly in love. In a recent interview, they both confessed that neither is deaf or hard of hearing. Anthony says he is a fan of sign language, and wanted the opportunity to converse with the deaf. Jacob took notice of this, and took the time to learn as well, "For me, sign language is an art form. It is like teaching your hands to dance! From our very first date, Anthony and I started to learn sign language; we spent an entire evening together, discovering each other."

The beginning of the video was a completely private moment between them. Anthony remembers his reaction when he saw it for the first time: "Even if you do not know sign language, it is clear that every gesture has a sexual meaning. When I saw it, I was left speechless. He was so adorable, so personal, so beautiful ... "

Asked on why they decided to upload something so personal on the internet, they stated, "We see it as an expression of gay love, as many people try to connect gays with sex. The responses were amazing, but we do not think they were posted only because they see a delicious boy without a shirt using sign language. We think the reason it has become successful is because of the message. "

"The video means a lot to us, and has given many people the opportunity to see what real love between two boys consists of. We are glad we gave the world a chance to smile. "



and now, time for the video...

The song playing in the background is performed by Aaron & The Gays, and it's titled "Computer Sex".  Lyrics are after the jump...
