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 - - - - - - - - - - -

Who Can Do It Better Than Britney Spears?

When our Military can do a Britney Spears video better than Britney Spears can, you know our men and women in uniform are doing something right.

Seriously though, Kudos to those guys and gals in Afghanistan who are doing their best to stay focused and survive those dreadful summers and those bitter winters; And if by singing Britney's song, "Hold It Against Me" can help them stay focused - then more power to them!

There is no greater honor in proving your love for America than by serving in our military.  I honor those who have served, and continue to do so every day, do you?

The Birther Question

Is it an issue? A couple of GOP hopefuls seem to think so.

On The Beaches of Panama...

This is just wrong.  While this guy was vacationing on the beaches of Panama...


He thought it was really cute to grab two little Sea Turtles to play with, or are those Mussels?  LIM

Mind-Boggling News: National Hiring Day Consists of Running Over People

Remember when McDonald's announced two weeks ago that they were going to hold a National Hiring Day in order to fill 50,000 jobs at all it's restaurants?

Well... Ronald  is frowning, and it looks like Mr.McDonald   got more than he bargained for.  Now we wait and see what lawsuits will be popping-up out of this crazy-ass incident.  Even though McDonald's is indirectly involved, these bitches will somehow find a way to sue - mark. my. words.

On Tuesday, in "what was supposed to be an uplifting event to help boost the economy," two bitches went for each other's throats, probably because there wasn't enough "Bic Mac's secret sauce" on one of their burgers.  This shit is crazy - like for real.  

One of the bitches ran over the store's owner, manager and several other people before driving off.

Wait... Was Yesterday A Holiday?

For all of you who called in yesterday thinking 420 was meant to be a holiday - it wasn't.  And if you have no idea what it stands for, I'll let About.com explain it for you.  *hint - it's not a bill, and it's not a police or penal code.

Others may not be so lucky...


 Now, are you glad you didn't call in?

Mc Donald's New Oatmeal - Is It Really Healthy?

By now everyone has seen the new commercial from McDonald's featuring their new "Fruit & Maple" oatmeal, and it looks downright yummy doesn't it?  But what's in it?  Is it really healthy? 

Well the website, Mother Nature Network did some investigating, and has provided some results.

 

Is McDonald's new 'Fruit and Maple Oatmeal' as cheap and healthy as old-school oats?

Keeping It Old Skool - Issue No. 6 - Tight-rolled Pants

Ahhh... talk about Keeping It Old Skool.   Tight-rolled pants were a huge rage back in the 1980's and early 1990's.  I'll be honest - I thought it was cool, and tried to incorporate this awesome fad with my school attire.  Granted, the hot jocks looked so much better than I did.  You know - the football, baseball, and soccer players?  I thought they looked hot sporting those tight rolled up pants - I'll spare you the details of my fantasies.  

I love how Wikipedia describes it below, LOL.
"girls and boys would tight-roll the bottoms of their jeans or any pants that they wore. On full length pants tight rolling is performed by taking up the slack around the ankles at the hem of the pants, folding the extra material over and then rolling upwards 2 or 3 times over. A proper tight-roll should have the extra material folded inward across the lower shin. The use of safety pins was key to a good roll, but to the experienced tight roller they can be achieved without them. "

And yes, everyone did it - even the celebrities on television, like Zac Morris from Saved by the Bell.  I think every gay boy in America had a huge crush on him growing up.

I also found this hilarious instructional video on YouTube on how to sport those tight-rolled up pants. 

Who knows?  You may find you like it; I have heard they're making a comeback.

Worst Persons of the Day with Keith Olbermann - 04/18/2011


As you may remember, the man pictured above was canned from MSNBC back in January.   Canned, framed, quit, either way I'm happy to report that Keith Olbermann has been back for sometime now, and until his new television show airs, he has been blogging from to time to time on his non-for-profit blog FOK News ChannelFOK translates to "Friends of Keith"


So let's start off with "Worst Persons of the Day" for April 18, 2011...

Gay Movies to Watch: Were The World Mine


If you could make anyone fall in love with anybody you desired, would you? And if said object of affection did happen to fall in love with you on account of (minor) interference with free-will, could you still call it love? An interesting dilemma indeed, yet one ultimately reserved to the realm of fantasy... in this case Were the World Mine protagonist Timothy's fantasy.



Ryan and I had the pleasure purchasing and watching this movie 2 years ago, and glad to say it's part of our DVD collection.  We've watched it countless times, and as you may have guessed, the scenes used in both these clips originate from Tom Gustafson's award winning film.

If you like gay movies and musicals, Were the World Mine is available on DVD and also can be directly downloaded using iTunes or Amazon's video-on-demand service.

All You Little Monsters Are Going To Hell - So Says This Real Teenage Monster

Honestly?  I don't even know where to start with this.  Where are the parents who raised this pathetic excuse for a child? Okay, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that.  I'm just sick and tired of 12 year old kids preaching to us, and everyone else for that matter, on how we are going to hell if we have sex, if we listen to Gaga, or if we're gay; Unless we're Bieber-believers, we're damned!

First, the little brat doesn't know anything about the story of Judas - she needs to go back to summer camp and read her Bible.  Second, the song is not a reflection of Gaga having sex with Jesus or Judas, it goes much deeper than that, like having to deal with a relationship she's currently in, and third, who is she to judge others on the merits of religion?
  
Plus....

The fake crying to make herself look like she's "ONE" with God, is beyond repentance.

I haven't blogged about the release of "Judas," because I really haven't had the time to analyze it, or better yet, give it a thorough cleansing.  I will probably ask Ryan to listen to the song, and give his take on it - since he's the bigger fan of the two.

Geez... the video below made my day ;-/

James Duke Mason Trailblazes His Way Through Hollywood

If you don't know who the Go-Go's were or don't know who Belinda Carlisle is, then I'm going to ask, WTF?  Sorry, but one can't go through life not knowing or listening to her music.  Belinda was the lead vocalist of the Go-Go's who became successful as a solo-artist several years later.  I was such huge fan of hers growing up and "came out" when her song, "Circle in The Sand" hit the airwaves. 

As a matter of fact, she will be receiving her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this August.
I find it ironic how I listened to her music when I was a teenager, and here I am writing about her 18 year old son, James Duke Mason.  James is also the son of Morgan Mason, who worked as Ronald Reagan's assistant in the early 1980's and the grandson of the late British actor James Mason.  He is currently attending California Lutheran University as a freshman student pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Political Science, But his main love is acting, which is the main reason he moved to Los Angeles.  James has also worked as a page in the U.S. House of Representatives and volunteered for Hillary Clinton during the 2008 Democratic primaries.


True, James could pass for a gorgeous underwear model, but the main reason I'm writing about him, is because of his contributions to the LGBT community.  He has written a number of articles about his experience as a young gay person, participated in several roundtable discussions regarding LGBT youth, and recently created the Trailblazer Campaign, similar to the "It Gets Better" campaign which would help actors in Hollywood come out of the closet.  And we all know there are a lot of people in Hollywood who are gay, but are too afraid to come out.  "Coughs" Joe Jonas & Zac Efron - just kidding - That's wishful thinking on my part.

In the following video, James lets his viewers know what it was like growing up gay in high school, and lets them know he understands their pain and frustration, "It Gets Better," he tells them.  And after the jump there is another video explaining his Trailblazer campaign.


The Trailblazer Campaign...

Like the circle of life.... it's the circle of finding a job.

What's the real reason you can't find a job? Is it the fact you don't know how to present yourself during the interview, or is it not having the job - to give you the money - to purchase the gas - that takes you to the interview?

A Wonder Woman Update - Video Included

So is it a rumor if the president of NBC says something questionable?  Probably not.

We've already seen two previous versions of the costume Adrianne Palicki will be wearing as Wonder Woman, but our Amazon superhero could be sporting yet another costume - a 70's star-studded short similar to what Lynda Carter wore in the original series.   In a recent interview with TV Line, Robert Greenblatt took to defending David E. Kelley's remake of the famous superhero series, by saying  there could be a future "look" for Diana Prince.
"There was an initial outcry about the long pants - you know, skintight pants as opposed to those little shorts [worn by Lynda Carter in the original TV series]. But the shorts were always planned. They are actually used in the final confrontation when she beats Veronica Cale (played by Elizabeth Hurley)."
In other developing news, yesterday Lynda Carter appeared on the daytime talk show, The Talk, looking as beautiful as ever.  She revealed that she had been in talks with David E. Kelley and refused to confirm whether or not she would play a role in the remake.
'I've talked to David E. Kelley, who's a brilliant writer, a number of times and we're hoping to plan something,' she said. 'But I cannot reveal.'
Asked what she thought of the new Wonder Woman costume, Carter grinned, 
'I like my costume the best of course. They're trying to update with the way we're all doing leggings now and skinny jeans. I think it's kind of trying to do that. David E. Kelley is full of surprises, so you never know what's going to happen. He's a brilliant guy.'
