“If you can’t love yourself, how the hell you gonna love somebody else?” - RuPaul - - - - - - - - - - - “if by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal.” - John F. Kennedy - - - - - - - - - - - - “Imagine finding someone you love more than anything in the world, who you would risk your life for but couldn’t marry. And you couldn’t have that special day the way your friends do – you know, wear the ring on your finger and have it mean the same thing as everybody else. Just put yourself in that person’s shoes. 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 - - - - - - - - - - -

Back In The Day - Disneyland 1957

Wow, let's go back to 1957 for a moment.  You probably have mothers and fathers who were just being conceived, or maybe even grandmothers who were one or two.   You may even have grandfathers who were teenagers, or parents who were getting married.  Regardless of where you're loved ones were at the time, Disneyland was short of two-years-old when this video was made.  What did it feel like to be in "The Happiest Place On Earth" in 1957?
The Disney History Institute cleaned the film, transferred it with a Spirit DataCine, and edited a few clips to music. But all of the images here are from 1957, before the park was even two years old.

Back In The Day - Lego circa 1989

Wow, seeing this today really brought back memories.  Oh, how I loved my Legos, and I had this very box too!  I truly miss being a child.  Yes, I've grown wiser over the years, but it would be nice to go back in time just for a moment.

Back In The Day - Michael Jackson, Elizabeth Taylor and Macaulay Culkin

It's crazy, but one of these celebrities is not like the other.  

I was feeling a bit nostalgic, and thought I'd post a pic from back in the day - when Michael Jackson and Elizabeth Taylor were still alive.  Macaulay Culkin still lives...

Back In The Day - Aaliyah vs. Justin Timberlake

Click to Supersize
Back in the day, Aaliyah and Justin Timberlake got together to compare belly buttons.  But that isn't the only thing I noticed.  I noticed a damn hot treasure trail as well :-)  

RIP, Aaliyah.  Ten years ago today, we lost a true and talented artist.

Back In The Day - 80's Shorts

Yeah, back in the day, guys would wear short, shorts like this, and everyone would swoon - Trust me,  girls and boys alike.  I mean, what's hotter than watching a guy's muscular thighs, calves, glistening sweat, and those hidden bulges?

Back In The Day - Cola Classic Through The Years

I think they forgot to add the plastic bottle to the equation.  I will say this, there was nothing better than drinking Coca Cola out of a glass bottle.  No taste could compare.  Agreed?
