The Table Chair
Okay, I'm not sure where this came from, but I want one. I tried finding it online, but I found other concepts of a table/chair. If you do happen to come across one, please let me know by leaving a comment. I love this kind of stuff!
Gay Ads That Matter - Issue No. 009 - Sugar Baby Love [NSFW]
Introduced at the Cannes Film Festival in 2006, the film was made in reference to safe sex and AIDS awareness, one of the main reasons you see condoms throughout the video.
The song in the background is by the Rubettes, "Sugar Baby Love" I posted the lyrics after the jump.

Laugh of the Day: The Lipstick Prank
What would you do if you and your boyfriend / husband went out shopping, and after a few seconds he came out of the dressing room with some lipstick on his neck? If I'm correct, there would be some hell to pay. And it wouldn't be a pretty sight.
Loving One Another - Issue No. 005
On December 10, 2011, I introduced my "Loving One Another" series to my BLADE 7184 readers, and I have been posting an issue every Monday since then.
I initially started this series in 2007 on Peter's Daily Blog on MySpace. Later, as the issues progressed I included a quote along with each photo, much the same way as my Kiss of the Week series.

And A Building Comes Tumbling Down... [video]
Well, yesterday Ryan and I were able to watch it through a live feed streaming at home, and today several videos were posted on You Tube. I was surprised to find so many people actually taping this from buildings in close proximity to the demolition, but it was quite fascinating.

Here is the official video from MD Anderson's website.

The Secret Bracelet
In either case, I bring you the Paracord Bracelet. Yep, the bracelet with an undetectable plastic handcuff key! It's so very James Bond, I love it. The unique key is in the buckle itself. You would simply unsnap the bracelet from your wrist, tear out the key, and ta-da! You're Free!!! The handcuff key fits most handcuff models.
A Convicted Prisoner Would Be Better Than Gay Parents
Oh, you gotta love our Republican candidates as they continue on their crusade to overturn everything our current President has done.
Ryan and I watched the debates on Saturday and Sunday, and I'd have to say they were the best ones yet. I know what you're thinking - we're dorks, but who else would keep you informed of the current political news? LOL.
In either case, we watch them because it's like comedy hour. They literally make us laugh. Rick Perry was applauded for finally stating the three government programs he would cut, and then went off on why we should go back into Iraq. We should go in there "literally at the speed of light," he said. I think he meant to say "figuratively". Jesus Christ, somebody help him please.
These are the kind of people who applauded the death of a man for not having health insurance, booed a gay man who served several tours of duty in Iraq, and who would rather have a man in prison take care of your children instead of Ryan or myself.
According to the LA Times, citing the work of one anti-poverty expert, Santorum said, "He found that even fathers in jail who had abandoned their kids were still better than no father at all to have in their children's lives."
Allowing gays to marry and raise children, Santorum said, amounts to "robbing children of something they need, they deserve, they have a right to. You may rationalize that that isn't true, but in your own life and in your own heart, you know it's true."
David (my previous partner) and I raised two little girls together and to this day, they have been raised by a wonderful Mother who loves them, and Gay Parents (David and his current partner) who have helped nourish them in their teen years. I was their soccer coach when they were 4-1/2 through 11 years old, and I'd have to say they have grown into two upstanding young ladies. 17 and 16 now, they're honor students, play in concerts, sports, etc. and continue to excel in everything they set their heart and mind to do. I love them and always will. I will forever be their "Papa Pete".

Children Playing The Guitar
I, personally, don't think the author titled this video correctly. I think the kids in the video did a very good job. It takes a lot of talent to learn music, play a guitar and perform in front of an audience. And for the kids being as young as they are, I don't find it creepy whatsoever. I find it quite impressive.Watch as these North Korean children strum their guitars on stage.

Hidden Swimming Pools
Okay, I've made up my mind. After Ryan and I buy our mansion of a house, we are going to have one of these installed in our backyard.
My friend Jessie posted this on her Facebook wall, and I was mesmerized by the sheer beauty of it. When you walk out the back door, at first glance you see a very beautiful patio, but what happens next is absolutely amazing.
As the patio starts to sink, water starts bubbling up to the surface. I mean, out of nowhere a swimming pool starts to form as the patio disappears beneath it.
I want one! And I'm sure it costs a pretty penny. You can check them out at HiddenWaterPools.com.
Poster of the Week - Issue No. 40 - Leaders
Continuing alphabetically, I bring you this week's poster, "Leaders".
And This Is What Grandmas Are For... [NSFW]
Okay, this is funny as hell. It's NSFW because of the lyrics to the song, but ain't this what Grandma's were made for? LMAO.
This cute kid taped himself lip-synching to Tyga's "Rack City", and Grandma had fun doing it. I'm not lying, so you have to check out the video for yourself.

MD Anderson Cancer Center's HMB Will Meet It's End...
At 11:15 AM, the implosion of the Houston Main Building in the Medical Center area will be taking place. A building I visited several times over the past 4 years.
The building formerly known as the Prudential building before the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center purchased it in 1972 was the first high-rise in Houston outside of Downtown. It was built in 1952, and has meant a great deal to many Houstonions. I've only lived here 10 years, but I can tell by reading some of the stories online, how much the building meant to them.
How the building affects me? Well, I work in the Dan L. Duncan building, previously called CPB (Cancer Prevention Building). The building is a few feet from the HMB, and was only two years old when I started working at MD Anderson. I had the honor of taking classes in the HMB building, and completed my database training in there as well. It was a lovely building, and it was even more lovely, because you could feel the history when you walked in that building. This morning will be bittersweet, because a building I literally walk by every day will be gone tomorrow morning when I head into work. [source]
From the MD Anderson Website:
MD Anderson's Houston Main Building (HMB) was opened by Prudential Insurance Co. in 1952 as its southwest regional office. At the time, the 20-story office building was Houston's tallest building outside downtown.
In 1974, MD Anderson purchased the 500,000-square-foot facility, which included 22.4 acres of land and a surface lot containing hundreds of parking spaces. The University of Texas officially named the building the Houston Main Building in 1980.
The acquisition of the building allowed executive and other administrative offices to move from the hospital to HMB to accommodate the expansion of clinical space.
Over the years, MD Anderson updated and renovated some floors to support specific functions, and the expansive parking area was used for new construction.
The last employees moved out of HMB March 2010; the building was officially closed April 1, 2010. After its closure, contractors began the interior demolition and abatement of the building.
The master plan calls for the site to serve as the home of a new clinical building that would connect the Dan L. Duncan Building and the Lowry and Peggy Mays Clinic.
Existing terraces on Floor 2 of these buildings will extend to the new facility, forming a courtyard above five floors of underground parking.
If you click on this link, you'll be able to watch the demolition live, 15 minutes before the event.

Mom, Dad, I love you, but you can't cut my hair...
If your son or daughter left you a note like this, you would never forgive yourself. LOL. Talk about making you feel guilty as sin.
