Must Watch - Must Listen: Best of the Web 2011
American Horror Story's Best Episode Yet!
You may remember me talking about American Horror Story a couple of months ago, or you may not. Regardless, the show is now one of mine and Ryan's favorites. We finally had the chance to watch Wednesday's episode, and I'm telling you, it was the craziest episode EVER! I couldn't have said it any better than this fellow blogger here...
Craziest episode EVER! When Violet wasn’t able to leave the house, YOU KNEW SOMETHING WAS UP, but I kept thinking it was Tate doing some weird shit. Then… then…. well, I STILL can’t stop thinking about it, dreaming about it, screaming about it. “YOU TOOK SO MANY, VIOLET!” Oh, it’s just too sad. And don’t talk to me about SPOILER ALERTS. Life happens in real time, baby, and I’m not going to hold off BLOGGING until you find time to watch your dvr. VIOLET IS DEAD, you’re going to have to deal with that fact sooner or later. I know I’M still reeling. - James St. James

2011 Movie Montage
Check out this nifty movie in review from hatinhand . It's a movie montage featuring 166 different movies over the past year. How many do you recognize?The 2011 slate of releases, from The Adjustment Bureau to Zookeeper.
This is where a cathartic and overarching statement would succinctly sum up the year's displays of creativity, passion, ingenuity, and bravado, but the only thing that comes to mind is: weird shit. Lots of weird shit.
War horses and evil clowns. Hobos with shotguns and super-powered Nazi hunters. Cancer comedies and a silent warrior in a scorpion jacket. Iconoclasts, conspirators, madmen, and crusaders. And a badass David Tennant. What's not to like? Something for everyone.
Kiss of the Week - Issue No. 003
When I started my "Kiss of the Week" series in 2007 on Peter's Daily Blog, I never thought I would get as far as I did with it. At the beginning I was only posting photos of two hot guys kissing, but later incorporated a "Quote of the Day" with it - and the rest is history.
Over the next few months I will be posting my original posts and slowly introducing the series to my current blog BLADE 7184 readers. So without further ado, here's the third issue, originally posted on July 07, 2007...

Quoted: President Barack Obama on Unfairness
That is the height of unfairness. It is wrong. It’s wrong that in the United States of America, a teacher or a nurse or a construction worker, maybe earns $50,000 a year, should pay a higher tax rate than somebody raking in $50 million. It’s wrong for Warren Buffett‘s secretary to pay a higher tax rate than Warren Buffett. And by the way, Warren Buffett agrees with me. So do most Americans — Democrats, Independents and Republicans. And I know that many of our wealthiest citizens would agree to contribute a little more if it meant reducing the deficit and strengthening the economy that made their success"
- President Barack Obama at a speech in Osawatomie, Kansas on Tuesday, December 6, 2011

Must Watch: Muscle-ripped Guy Becomes a Hot Chick over a Span of Two Years
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...
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."
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."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.
The article has since been udpated, with the owner/chef, admitting that he owes "about $14,000 to $15,000 to catch everybody up."Source: Ruggles Grill
If The World Were A Village of 100 People: Issue No. 14 - Food
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.
