Twilight Lookalike

There's no mistaking it, Justin Bieber is a little hottie.  True he looks like a little lesbian at times, but that's besides the point.  In a 'behind the scenes' pic, the beiber decided to play a Twilight character.  He kinda looks like Edward Cullen, but hotter. Oh stop, there's no need to call Chris Hansen.

A collection of my favorite quotes, or quotes I've put together. Either way, I Quote That!

May The Force Be With Him?

I'm sorry, this video was too cute not to share. Not one word was used in the production of this commercial, but it got the message across... Don't f*ck with The Force. Oh... wait, I guess you don't want to be on the Dark Side.

The Onion News Update: Apple Introduces Revolutionary New Laptop With No Keyboard

The MacBook Wheel lets consumers accomplish everyday tasks like typing with just a few dozen spins and clicks of a wheel.

Young Man With Post-traumatic Stress After Gruesome Deaths

I cannot fathom how a human being can go on with his life after committing such an atrocity.  A young man is now suffering, because the job he took on, turned into a nightmare.  According to CNN, a company in Canada, "Canada's Outdoor Adventures," ordered an employee to slaughter over 100 sled dogs.  The whistle blower is now allegedly suffering from post-traumatic stress,  and I say allegedly, because of the frivolous lawsuits that are tried every day.

So one day, the young man is going about his business of tending these does, feeding and caring for them, when his boss comes up to him and says, "you know Joe, it's been a slow season, why don't you go out back and cull a few of the dogs."

Joe should have said, "Ahem, how 'bout you go out in the damn snow and do it yourself, you f*cking idiot!"

Before I decided to write this post, I did some investigating, and according to other news agencies, the young man supposedly held the dog down with his foot and shot them execution style.  CNN states he shot and knifed them, then threw the dogs into a mass grave.  Regardless of how this heinous act was carried out, it really pisses me off.  These dogs could have been given to loving and caring families.  And if killing them was an only option, because of overpopulation, then taking them to a vet to perform Euthanasia may have been more appropriate.  But wait, the vet informed you (the company), he would not kill a healthy dog.

They need to put that man away, Just sayin'.

OMG Hilarious!

Post Secret Fridays - Issue 045

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

Snowed In

This is when you say, "I'm glad I live in Texas."  Here's a pic from a northeast home in which snow was knocking on the tenant's door.

Gaga Crucified!

Please forgive me God, but your followers on the religious right have already condemned us to hell.  So why can't we dress up your son in these fabulous Lady Gaga outfits?

For those who are damned, you'll want to click on the image to play.  Just drag and drop the outfits onto Jesus.

Freezing Temperatures = Horrible Conditions, but Happy Koi

People.  If you can stay home, do it.  It's ridiculous crazy outside.  There were over 100 car accidents around 3 - 4 AM this morning.  Most, if not all, toll roads and major freeways are closed.  Schools, universities and countless businesses will remain closed until further notice. Stay tuned to your local news and weather channels to monitor the current situation.

Luckily for me, I'm off on Fridays, so I have no reason to be out and about.  As for my love, Ryan, he works close by, but they will call him later to find out if it's even possible to open with a small crew.


I have posted some pictures of our Koi swimming happily in their pond, they love freezing temperatures. There's ice over our Mexican Palm, which is not happy whatsoever, and our Oleanders are frozen to the point they are leaning over.  I took a picture of our Willow Tree, but you can't see the ice covering it, looks invisible; imagine how the roads look like.  And finally, our Bamboo, unless a miracle were to happen, is surely dead after this winter storm; it is covered in ice.

 

OMG Hilarious!

All The Presidents' Colleges

I really enjoyed reading over this chart, and thought you might like it also. It's really fascinating knowing which of our Presidents went to college and which didn't.

OMG Hilarious!

This is wrong on so many levels.  Someone thought that it would be neat to dress up their baby in full body costume of Mr. T. 


While you can tell this was homemade, they should look into selling it at Spirit Halloween.com.  Hey, if Antoine Dobson can get rich selling his crazy costume, why can't the maker of this Hot Mess!

Foods That Make You Cringe - Issue No. 2

So what's on my second issue of 'Foods That Make You Cringe?' 

Every Thursday I'll be stating the obvious fact; that people make up the craziest shit, hence the reason people tell you, "This Is Why Your Fat."
 

A maple bacon egg sandwich on mac and cheese pancakes.  From Blondie and Brownie: “This, my friends, is the king of breakfast sandwiches. Maple bacon and eggs on pancakes? And mac & cheese pancakes at that–it’ down right inspired. Add just a touch of maple syrup and you have sweet and salty perfection.”

  

How about some chocolate covered bacon with sprinkles?  Don't these look yummy?

Watch: 19-Year-Old Iowan Zach Wahls' Electrifying Speech in Support of His Gay Moms

"Actually, I was raised by a gay couple and I'm doing pretty well." 

- Zach Wahls

The writer of Towerload couldn't have stated it any better when he wrote on his blog, "The bigots need to just give up now because teens like Zach Wahls are the reason they will eventually lose."

I can't and will never understand how one person or a group of people can rob another human being of a fundamental right.  It's just mind-boggling to me.  "We held these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal," is simply false, and it was false back when it was written.

Slavery was running rampant, and almost every President, up until Lincoln owned slaves; George Washington himself had over one hundred.  The point I'm trying to make is that everyone has rights in this country. Not just one particular group or person.

When I watched this video, I couldn't help but shed tears as I watched this young man describe what it means to be a family, what it means for him to be a son of two gay parents, who love and cherish their children. I don't understand why there is so much hatred from the Republicans who wish to overturn everything we try so hard to live for.  All we want is to be treated equally, be given the rights bestowed upon us for being born in this country. 

OMG Hilarious!

  Boston knows how to do weather reports and they don't f*ck around! LOL

Rolling Blackouts Will Engulf Our Region!

The Electric Reliability Council of Texas has ordered rolling blackouts during the arctic blast, according to Click2Houston.com.  So if you're not warm enough yet, you're not about to get any warmer.  The agency states that this is all due to a generation shortage.  So while I'm keeping warm @ MD Anderson Cancer Center, because hospitals and nursing homes are excluded from the blackouts, my love Ryan and our puppies may be freezing their buns off for 45 minutes at most.

The agency states they have no idea how long the blackouts will be needed, but the forecast for the next few days doesn't look too good. I'm so glad Friday is my day off.  For those that work on Friday, don't lose hope. Seeing that things look more grim as the weekend approaches, there's a possibility for closures.

Total Eclipse of The Heart - The Literal Version

Bonnie Tyler recorded a song back in 1982 that became her biggest hit to date, Total Eclipse of the Heart.  The song peaked at No. 1 in the United States, Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom.  To this day, the song is as popular as it was then, and is still being played on the radio.

All that aside, the video accompanying this song was the most bizarre thing I had ever seen. If I were to produce a movie which included soft core porn, a twin peaks and poltergeist storyline behind it, I would come up with this truly hot mess of a music video.  Nevertheless, the video is hilarious to watch.  You'll never see Bonnie Tyler the same way again.

Watch the video below.

A Chart That Reaches Out

A reader from the site I grabbed this chart from made a comment, and submitted his very own chart.  In his message he asked for help for a friend of his...  So I thought I'd help by getting the word out.

"Hi, I know you get a ton of submission daily but my friend’s little sister is in dire need of a blood marrow transplant and the problem is, is that there are no matching donors. It is a very simple procedure if we could just get the word out. Please check out helpuma.com and i even made a chart for y’all. Thank you so much!"

OMG Hilarious!

Houston's Very Own Floating Condos!

What does Houston need to make it an even more popular destination? Floating Condos! I read about this on ABC13's website. River Cities, the company which is located in Kemah, say the ship has 180 condos, restaurants, hot tubs, a golf course and will feature a landing pad for medevac helicopters.  The ship, which will be housed in Houston, will cruise the coastal waterways along with the nation's rivers.

"After a pleasant day of cruising the waterways, we will have cars and buses ready and waiting for your shore travel; the choice of activities will be up to you," the company says on its website.

The price isn't cheap! It will only cost you $300,000 to $500,000 to own one. So start saving now or invest more in your 401K!  They already have 25 percent of the condos sold; once they hit 90 percent they start constructing your dream home on water.

Mashup of the Day!

What do you get when you add a teaspoon of Robyn, a snippet of LaRoux, an ounce of Whitney and a dash of Taylor Swift? A really awesome mashup! Check out the video...

Gay Ads That Matter - Issue No. 002

In my second issue of Gay Ads That Matter, I bring you a commercial from Israel.  A powerful commercial with a powerful message; and the way it was done was brilliant.   

The lyrics to the song featured in this commercial are:

Come to the water,
The era of shame is over,
Come to the water,
The era of denial is over,
Teach me to swim,
To float,
When I grow up,
I'm going to be like everyone else
And I'll have a great love
That'll wait for me in the world
With stars
On the most beautiful jacket in the city,
To use and to return.

At the end of the commercial, the Hebrew words translate into: "Cleaning Up The Closet"

It saddens me that Israel, a small middle eastern country, is far more advanced than our United States of America.

I pray each day for a better tomorrow. 

I Look To You

While, not as powerful as the original, last night Whitney Houston took us back to a time when we all fell in love with her.  On a BET special, Celebration of Gospel, Whitney and Kim Burrell took to the stage in a duet which took everyone by surprise.

Yes, I shed a few tears, and not only because the song is beautiful, but because I believe everyone deserves a second chance.  While it has been hard for Whitney to make a comeback, she is still an inspiration to many.  Life is too short to dwell on our mistakes; learn from them and move on, it will make us a better person in the end.

Freezing Temperatures ... Ugh! Save the Plants!

It doesn't seem like it's going to let up, until possibly the beginning of next week. Different websites are reporting that we will be getting snow on Friday and people at work are already talking about it.  I'm off on Fridays, so I'll be home resting nice and cozy in my bed.  But for you folks, who are traveling or taking long commutes to work, take extra precaution, because rain and snow will start around 1 AM; if that's the case, you will encounter icy roads.

Freezing temperatures also mean, dead plants. Sad story, but it's true; cover up your plants if you wish to save them!  Ryan and I don't have any plants to cover; the ones we had froze last year, and we are not bound to replant tropical trees that are not meant to be planted in these areas anyway.  We had some palms, orchid trees and other shrubs a couple years back and when we replanted, the next year's freeze destroyed them.  We have some plants in pots that we will bring inside.

A President's Daughter for Marriage Equality

By now everyone knows, Republicans Cindy McCain (wife of Senator John McCain), and her daughter Megan are in support of marriage equality and opposed to Proposition 8.  But what are your thoughts on a daughter of a Republican President coming out in support of Marriage Equality?  Barbara Bush, daughter of President George W. Bush has done so.  Kudos to her!

OMG Hilarious!

Dennis Kucinich Has an Olive to Pick With You!

I swear, our Representatives have the best healthcare available to them through the Federal Government, and yet one of them has the gall to sue for damage to his teeth caused by an olive pit. Rep. Dennis Kucinich, and former Presidential candidate, has settle his lawsuit with the House Office Cafeteria who served him the sandwich.

Here's a few words from his letter after the case was settled:

Dear Friend,

Though I would prefer to focus your attention on my work dealing with the profoundly important issues that face our nation, such as job creation, getting the economy back on track, and ending the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq - it seems that some are more interested in discussing my personal dental issues. Given the degree of public interest you should know some details:

This injury required nearly two years, three dental surgeries, and a substantial amount of money to rectify. ...When I bit into the olive pit, (unbeknown to me at the time), upon impact the tooth split in half, vertically through the crown and the tooth, below the level of the bone.

When can I sue? All I need is for someone to place a toothpick in a sandwich, and I'll give you half if I win. :-)

Here's the full letter:

Keeping It Old Skool: The Little Professor

I'm still in the process of putting together my regular segments on my blog and have decided to start a series on technology from our younger years. So to start this week's Monday segment of "Keeping it Old Skool," I bring you The Little Professor.  Oh yes,  I remember playing with this calculator as a child and losing all the time.  I hated the damn Professor.  Just kidding, I liked him, but those hard levels.. geez.  The calculator was not like a regular one, instead this one suggested math problems for you that could be solved through multiplication, division, addition, or subtraction.  I believe it came with some cards or a booklet and you were to solve the problems; if it was correct, you were awarded points which were shown on the red led display.

Check out the video, it's classic :-)

How Cute Is This?

Because we all know there are plenty of smart people in the world. A 4 year old girl in sunglasses takes control of a motorcycle, and rides India's highways with Dad sitting behind her.  I know, the shock and horror that must be running through your mind.

Alex Pettyfer Loses It!

So yes, beautiful Alex Pettyfer took off his shirt on Ellen this past week, and everyone went gaga over it.  Well me too, but that doesn't count. :-)

Superman Returns! Wait... it's a reboot.

Take a look at your new Superman!  Warner Bros. made an announcement over the weekend on who would be the next man to don the blue tights and the red cape, and it's Tudors star, Henry Cavill.

"In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time, and I am honored to be a part of his return to the big screen. I also join Warner Bros., Legendary and the producers in saying how excited we are about the casting of Henry. He is the perfect choice to don the cape and S shield," said the film's director, Zack Snyder.

Dallas Television Series Will Return!!!

I know this may sound cheesy, but I'm excited about the upcoming reboot of Dallas on TNT!!!  That means Ryan and I need to finish watching Seasons 12 & 13 of Dallas. LOL.

When I learned they were going to make a Dallas movie a few years back, starring John Travolta and Jennifer Lopez, I was excited; but not until they ruined it by saying they were going to make a spoof of one of the most popular television series of all time.

The new series is to focus on Bobby and JR Ewing's sons (Christopher and John Ross Ewing), and their circle of friends, with three original stars heading back to the Ranch.  Patrick Duffy (Bobby Ewing) and Linda Gray (Sue Ellen Ewing) are almost certain to return along with the possibility of Larry Hagman (JR Ewing), who's still negotiating a contract with the Producers.

I know Ryan's thrilled too :-) Right babe? he he.

What is the Internet?

When people look at me and think I'm crazy when I tell them I didn't know what the internet was all about in 1990, I'll show them this video.

In 1994, Katie Couric and Bryant Gumbel ask a producer to explain what the internet is and what the @ sign means, while filming an episode of the Today show.

OMG Hilarious!
