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 - - - - - - - - - - -

Must Watch: Table 7

Another amazing short film produced by another amazing director.  It is a really good film, and I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as the "Porcelain Unicorn" I posted last month. 

As I refer to his website's biography page, Marko Slavnić, was born in Sarajevo, Bosnia, and came to the United States with his family in 1991 when he was just eight years old. He grew up in Austin, Texas, where he graduated from the University of Texas with a degree in RTF (radio, television and film).

After college, Marko began his professional career creating corporate and commercial videos for several national and international companies. However, with a passion and a talent for storytelling, he recently began pursuing more creative outlets of filmmaking.

The following short film, uploaded by Marko on YouTube describes it as "a couple having an intimate conversation in a restaurant, unaware that their every word is being closely monitored. However, not all is as it seems."  A poignant film I might add.

R.I.P. Spartacus

I've talked about Spartacus several times since I started my blog, and nothing saddens me more than to learn that he has died.  While the character has not deceased, the actor who played him, has.  

Andy Whitfield, who was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma about a year and a half ago died over the weekend.  He was only 39 years old.  R.I.P. Andy a.k.a. Spartacus

“The Welsh-born actor who moved to Australia was diagnosed with the disease about a year and a half ago, and bowed out of filming the second season of the Starz show after the cancer was discovered.” - LA Times

Russian Pigeon Karate

The next time you're thinking of joining a martial arts class, think of Russian pigeon fighting.  Yep, an art that's been lost through the ages.

Managing to capture the pigeons in the first place is an art in itself, but that's a whole 'nother lesson. lol.

To Shave or Not To Shave? That Is The 9/11 Question...

When the World Trade towers came down on 9/11, a middle-school teacher from East Wenatchee, Washington made a promise he wouldn't break...
Gary Weddle, a devoted science teacher, vowed that he wouldn't shave until Osama bin Laden was captured or killed, and it's a sure bet he didn't think it would take 9 years to do it.

Four months ago, when a friend of Weddle's called and told him that Osama bin Laden had been killed, he cried for a full five minutes.  He took a razor to his face and shaved off the beard he'd been wanting to get rid of for 9 years. 
"He cut the beard and was shaving the stubble even before President Obama addressed the nation about bin Laden’s demise" - The Daily Astorian.

The Puzzles of Our Lives

Are People Really This Stupid?

Geezus, here's another video you probably shouldn't be listening to at work, unless you have some headphones on.  This is some crazy ass shit here, and then you ask yourself why half our country is fucked up; I'm sure you know which half that is. 
A Park Ranger from Reno goes "postal" a couple of kids snowboarding in some park; Not just any park, this particular Ranger's park, and he is not happy.  Throughout the entire conversation he releases a stream of expletives that would put a stand-up comedian to shame.

Towards the end of the video, he tells the boys that "the way to break a man is by doing it sexually, by making him your bitch for life."  Seriously?  Are people really this stupid?

Dearest Crackhead

You can't get any clearer than this, that's for sure.  Can I do the same to the bastards who smashed in my windows not once, but twice?  It was a long time ago, but still...
If they want to take anything, let them.  Just DON'T BREAK MY WINDOWS!  One time I left my doors unlocked so if thieves wanted to get in, they could enter without breaking them. The idiots still brok'em. 

NSFW: Bonjour Gurl!

The following video went viral this week, but in case you haven't seen it, here it is.  It's absolutely hilarious.  It is Belle from Beauty and the Beast in her original voice casting.  And she couldn't sound any gayer if she tried.

GURL... Just so you know it is Not Safe For Work!  Unless you have headphones :-)


"Its got crack pipes and sewing, its like pretty in pink but if the dress looked good."

"I can hear you, bitches. Nice try whore."

"Wtf bitch I will turn you into a fur coat. Now I just got to find out how to knit"

OMG Hilarious! - Organ

What a Hot Mess: Magic Trick Gone Wrong

So the argument is...  some say it's fake and some say it's not.  Regardless, it looks pretty darn bad either way.  What a hot mess!

In the following video, two German boys, Sven and Michel are about to do a very popular trick that is performed by most magicians.  When they finally accomplish it, Sven accidentally jumps back, pushing Michel into an entertainment center behind them.  You can clearly see it fall on top of Michel as Sven runs away.

The question is... is it real?  Is he alive? My thing is, regardless if it's real or not, it still has to hurt.  People actually die from furniture falling on them.  The argument rages on, in the YouTube video's comment section.

Home Improvement Reunion

So a few days ago the cast of Home Improvement got together for some photos for their upcoming reunion special, and I'd have to say that some of them have improved through the years.  Others not so much...
I sure miss this show, it was so much fun to watch.
Jonathan Taylor Thomas just keeps getting better looking with age.  He still looks beautiful; His 30th birthday was two days ago.

OMG Hilarious! - Republican Presidential Debate Factoids

OMG, this was hilarious as shit.  I already know none of you watched the Republican Presidential Debate this past wednesday, because all of you bitches hate politics.  But once again, that's okay, because just like yesterday's post, here is a small clip of what happened.

According to Conan O'Brien, MSNBC tried something new that no one has ever done before.  They flashed some fun facts about the candidates as each of them gave a response to a question.  Conan states they were actually more entertaining than the actual debate.  Check 'em out.

Isn't This The Truth? Google Uses

LMAO, isn't this the truth?  So what do you use Google for mostly?  Nearly half of you use it to get your rocks off.  The other half uses it for spell checking, and an 1/8 of you actually use it for finding useful information.  Oh yeah... and some of you use it when they're too lazy to type in ".com"

Must Watch: An Unprecedented Event Took Place Two Weekends Ago...

The World's Largest Water balloon fight known to man.  Nearly 9,000 people took part in a battle for the ages.  Using 175,141 balloons, a war with latex and water raged on.  The video below was provided by the Christian Student Fellowship at the University of Kentucky who hosted the event, and I'd have to say it's pretty darn cool.

Where Is The Little Girl?

Don't mind the fact that this guy is eating, drinking and listening to the radio, as he gets pulled over by the police.  They ask him to step out of the vehicle where they repeatedly ask him, "Where is the little girl?"

To be honest, I thought the video was rather funny.  But some of the people making comments on YouTube were none too thrilled.  One of them wrote, "this isn't funny - this is shit! This actually happened to me!"  Another one stated, "this kind of crap goes on way too often."

If the comments they're posting are true, it truly sucks for law enforcement.  It's bad enough cops are hated because they issue us traffic tickets, but this, really?  I still believe the majority of cops are there to serve and protect, and hope that this never happens to me.

Funny or No? What do you think? Does this happen way too often?

A Big Double Cross!

Must Watch: You Really Didn't Miss Anything

Not interested in politics?  That's okay, this video is only 45 seconds of your day, just a mere 45 seconds of your life.  Pretty much what was said during the debate on Wednesday was... Taxes, Reagan, Taxes, Reagan, Taxes, Reagan...


 I swear, all of these guys are idiots.  You know what?  I take that back.  Jon Huntsman actually broke away from them on a few issues, but all that means, Republicans will only shun him.
