Flying Macbook Air

Because everyone wants one... The sky's the limit.

"The Apple Macbook Air is lighter than ever and can even fly. All the features of the Macbook Air are now more exciting when the laptop can fly."

Cover Wars 6

I can't believe it's been a month since my last Cover Wars post, but after listening to Adele's CD on my way to work this morning, I had to feature a Cover War using another one of her songs.  You may recall my very first issue featured Adele's "Rolling In The Deep."

Once again, it was a very difficult decision to make, so I went with only the guys for this battle.  The girls were fantastic, but I can only do so much. Maybe I will feature them at a later time, but for now, the war is on...

These are the top 6 guys I felt did an awesome job of covering Adele's, "Someone Like You."  Sean Rumsey, Abraham Lim, Eli Lieb, Benjamin, Chris Kennedy from The Shures, and Nick Gardner

The contest ends next Thursday, August 11, and the winner will receive a Cover Wars Gold Record that I will personally email them.  It's not an actual vinyl record, but a recognition award just for being on my blog, so your vote is really important.

Isn't This The Truth? Circle The One God Loves Most...

It's truly sad, but isn't this the truth?  I love God as most Americans do, but when we let religion dictate how we should love, or who we should accept in our lives, we are truly not being who He wants us to be.  God is Love... wake up, you overzealous people!

Are People Really This Stupid?

Watching this video was nothing like watching this one from two weeks ago.  This video actually made me sweat and shake with fear.  

I compare this idiot climbing without ropes and harnesses, as me climbing the side of a building using a ladder without hands.  Nah, scratch that.

It's like me jumping from a plane without a parachute. Yeah, that's more like it.  Geezus, either this guy, Alex Honnold has got balls of steel, or he's just plain stupid.  Aye, Aye, Aye.

Isn't This The Truth? There's a Special Place In Hell For...

I found these online and thought they were absolutely hilarious.  How many times have you stood in line at the grocery store, only to see the person at the front of the line walk away to grab one more item?  Hundreds for me, and that's the truth!

Or how about the dog owner who doesn't pick up their dog's poop?  Especially from my yard!  Yeah, there's a special place for you.  You... you...

Must Watch: Lonny

And you thought reality shows were all fun and games.  Not until you've seen Lonny.  

"So what" if you've missed a few episodes... this video will catch you up on what you've been missing.

Make sure to continue watching after the credits...

Honk for Grandma

This is wrong on so many levels.  But hilariously funny at the same time. Sorry :-) :-(

My Sister's Baby Shower Was A Success!

My sister's Baby shower over the weekend was a great success!  Thanks to her dear friends, Denise, Sandra, and her husband Richard.  Also many, many kudos to my family, including our cousins, Ray, Leo, and my brother-in-law, Luther who helped cook all day long on Friday.  And finally, a special thanks to the countless others who provided food, and helped with the clean-up afterwards.

As promised, the diaper cake I created for my sister's baby shower is in the video below.  It should transition from beginning to end, every 3 seconds or so.

Blade's Box of Jams: Track #2 - Set Fire To The Rain

I'm turning on my headphones, and currently listening to...

Ryan and I are catching up on our shows from last week, and one of my favorite performances of the night was SYTYCD's Jordan and Jess dancing to Adele's, "Set Fire To The Rain."  While most of the judges, including Lady Gaga were critical of their performance, I was very sad to see them go.  Especially when I felt there were others who were not worthy enough to go through.

It's Purely Animal - Issue No. 24 - Climb Biscuit Climb!

I don't know what it is about Jack Russell Terriers, but Lord have mercy on them. They can do everything from climbing trees, like Toby here, to rock climbing like Biscuit in the video below. Geezus!

Isn't This The Truth? Zombie vs. Baby

Hmmm, I never thought of it this way, but it actually makes sense.  Zombies have the same characteristics as babies.  The Messy eater, no sense of right and wrong, bent on destruction, keeps you awake at night in fear, and can turn others into a zombie. Isn't this the truth?  LOL.  My sister will be finding this out soon enough.

Spider-Man: Reality or Fiction?

OMG, I'm LMFAO over here! Well, maybe I shouldn't be laughing so hard.  I do have friends who have gotten bit by spiders, and it wasn't a pretty sight..  What would really happen if a spider bit you?  You've got to watch this, it is absolutely hilarious.

OMG Hilarious! - Summer

Gay Ads That Matter - Issue No. 006 - Come As You Are

I honestly didn't realize it had been over 2 months since I posted an issue of "Gay Ads That Matter," until today, when I came across an ad that was released by McDonald's back in 2010.  There was a lot of controversy over this ad, primarily from Republicans, and the conservative right.  Fox News' O'Reilly went all psychotic on it.

I remember posting this ad on Facebook about a year ago, and it's titled "Come As You Are."  The reason why it matters, is because it features a young guy, either in high school or college, eating in a McDonald's restaurant with his dad, who doesn't know that his son is gay.  While the video doesn't say he's gay per se, it does imply it by having the boy talking to a classmate while looking at a class photo of  an all boys school. At the end of the commercial, it confirms it by saying, "Come As You Are."

The brand director of McDonald's in France had this to say...

"We wanted to take a look at how French society is today. We're very comfortable with the topic of homosexuality, there is obviously no problem with homosexuality in France today". While the statement sounds a bit naive in a country where same sex couples cannot legally marry nor adopt, the idea was to give a positive image of the brand: "The point was not to show someone who is troubled, especially a teenager. We know it can be difficult for some people, but we wouldn't have dared show someone who is struggling".

I commend McDonald's for doing this commercial; I only wish they would have made an American version.  Until then, we'll only get the ones that will make fun of who we are.  Especially around Super Bowl time.

I went to get a drink around 4:30 am and the whole living room was as hot as balls. LMAO. That was priceless!

Isn't This The Truth? Mail, Email, Mail

Remember the time when we used to get mail?  Yeah, the kind that looked like some type of rectangular-shaped paper object with a sticker on it?  Yes, we'd get all excited about that. 

Isn't This The Truth?

Then came the email revolution and it pretty much wiped out the U.S. Postal service.  No, really, it has.... they are thinking of closing over 3,600 post offices across the country, in the next year or so.

In either case, it's now gotten to the point where we get so much email that it goes unread for days at a time. Whenever I take off from work, I have returned to find a gazillion emails in my inbox - it's frustrating.  I get so tired of email that when I get home, I look forward to finding some type of "real" mail in my mailbox.  Those were the days. LOL.

Foods That Will Make You Fat - Issue No. 16

Go ahead, as yourself, "Why the hell am I fat?"  Oh.... because you just finished eating a MoFo "Meat Ship!"  As if any of my previous issues of "Foods That Will Make You Fat" are any different.  Once again, here's the next issue of foods that will make you barf.  Seriously, I could title this series many different ways.

Baconnaise

Okay, first things first, anyone who would buy this jar of crap is out of a job and hurting for some real hard-earned bacon (cash).  The economy must have hit them real hard, otherwise they'd be out buying some Grey Poupon.  Hell, I'd be buying me some dollar store mayonnaise before I touched a spoon of this shit. Make me barf now!

Chicago Deep Dish Pizza

Ahhh, the sound of a Dominoes Deep Dish pizza sounds real good right about now.  Scratch that!  After taking a look at this disgusting picture I don't think I ever want to see a pizza again!  OMG, they might as well have called this the heart-attack pizza.

Meat Ship

Anything that would have 20 sausages, 48 slices of bacon, 1.2 lbs of sausage meat, 1kg of pork mince, 10 franks, 1 lb. of pastry, 1 onion, 1 mushroom, 2 packets of chipolata sausages, various food colourings, and some sage has got to be out of their fucking mind!  Seriously, they outta lock you up and throw away the key.  A meat ship? Really? That is unbelievably disgusting!  If this doesn't put you on a diet, I don't know what will.

Blade's Box of Jams: Track #1 - All Yr Songs

I'm so excited to introduce a new series to my blog, Blade's Box of Jams.  From time to time I like to turn-on my headphones at work, and listen to some music.  Today is no exception, I'm currently listening to Diamond Rings' "All Yr Songs."   

Before I created my blog, BLADE 7184 in January, I posted this video on Facebook, and vividly remember writing that the lead singer may seem strange to most people, but I absolutely love him.

John O’Regan's voice, the group, and the music remind me so much of the glam rockers from the 80's; David Bowie, Culture Club, Erasure, The Pet Shop Boys, the list goes on.

A Slice of My Sister's Diaper Cake!

This past weekend I worked on my sister's Diaper Cake for her upcoming baby shower extravaganza, and I'd have to say I outdid myself - it turned out better than I thought it would be.  

I love my sister, Victoria, so very much, and Ryan and I can't wait to be there to share in the festivities with her and her husband Luther.

On Sunday evening, I sent my sister a text with a "slice of the cake (pictured above)," and asked if she wanted to see the whole thing.  Needless to say, she was beside herself, and responded by texting, "OMG Peter! I'm going to cry.  It looks awesome.  NO! I want to be surprised. LoL"

I will post pictures of the diaper cake after the shower this friday.  If you want to see the final product before then, you can email me directly at blade.7184.x@gmail.com
