Single Man Dances to "Single Ladies"

2008-10-22T00:24:00.003-04:00

My friend sent me this video and all I can say is... "wow...". Now, that's not the normal "wow" that straight people use to indicate awe and admiration, it's the "wow..." that gay people use to indicate that feeling of "what the fuck just happened???" and reserved disgust. So once again, "wow..."

His poor outfit. I'm sure that was once an expensive swimsuit and cheap tank-top. I'm jealous that he has like no body fat, though. And he's probably an amazing bottom (or top?? ha!). And I'm sure someone would fuck him. I mean, some people are into trannies, so there's always that.

Wow...

I love Sarah Palin

2008-09-29T22:50:00.002-04:00

She's the best comedian on the scene today. Wait -- what? She's not a comedian? She's the Vice Presidential candidate? Hmmm... now that's not as funny.

BUT, we can still laugh at her, even if we're not laughing with her. She seems to be (believe it or not) even MORE clueless than Bush in interviews:

With Katie Couric

With Charles Gibson

I mean, can someone just keep interviewing her? We'll never run out of material!

Can't wait for the VP debates this Thursday. It's like a scheduled train-wreck. Too good to pass up!

Ok, the ONE good thing about Sarah Palin: she's made SNL funny again!

Deadbeat Dad

2008-09-14T18:21:00.003-04:00

So I've totally become a deadbeat dad to my blog baby -- completely neglecting it, paying it no nevermind, and essentially abandoning it for something less time-consuming.

But I'm going to start making an effort to post more crap on here so all you 3 readers out there will have something to stare at mindlessly in between hour-long sessions on xtube. So fear not.

Checking for Gay

2008-09-14T18:07:00.001-04:00

I found this clip from American Dad and thought it was pretty funny.

Bored Lip Sync at Home

2008-08-12T22:04:00.002-04:00

So I was bored off my ass and decided to throw on some board shorts, wear my American Eagle t-shirt inside-out AND backwards, and lip sync to my favorite song. Take a look...

... then I died of embarrassment.

I love the random shit you can find on YouTube. It's great. I actually do like the Lady GaGa song... but I like it enough to not fuck it up by recording a horrible lip sync of it on YouTube.

Clay Aiken's a Daddy

2008-08-10T19:26:00.002-04:00

Wait, what? Gayken's a daddy? I could have sworn he'd be the type to want a daddy, not be a daddy. How did he even do it? There must be a receipt for a turkey baster somewhere in his house. Creepy.

Hancock - Worst Movie of the Year

2008-07-03T00:17:00.003-04:00

I just got back from seeing Hancock and I'm almost speechless at how horrible of a movie it was. I can't believe they even made it. The movie sucked.

The first 45 minutes are pretty much filled with Will Smith's character acting like a complete jackass -- drunk, belligerent, and wrecking all types of shit. From there it's just one fantastical leap to the next until you reach the point of asking "What the fuck is going on here?"

The script is just a mess. I'd almost be embarrassed to say those lines. The 'action' sequences were weak.

Basically, the movie had no redeeming qualities. There wasn't even a 'moral' to the story.

Here's a list of movies I've seen this year that were better than Hancock:

The Incredible Hulk
Wanted
Iron Man
Jumper
Chronicles of Narnia
Cloverfield

I mean, it's a pretty impressive list of potentially shitty movies. Cloverfield comes REALLY close, but I still think Hancock beat them all, hands down.

IT'S MOTHERFUCKIN HOT!!!!

2008-06-09T22:09:00.002-04:00

The city is radiating heat. The air is as thick as chowder. It's disgusting.

There are power issues across the city, mostly in the Upper East Side and Spanish Harlem.

This is why I live in a good neighborhood. Hopefully it's less likely that the power will go out. Although, the way I'm running my AC 24/7, I wouldn't be surprised if some shit went down.

I gotta move before I melt.

Stay-at-Home Mom Salary

2008-06-03T22:12:00.003-04:00

Salary.com just released a study indicating that Stay-at-Home moms, if they actually got paid for their work, would make something close to $117,000 per year.

That's a bit much, I think. Granted, I've never experienced the 'benefits' of having a housewife mother, but I think this number is a bit inflated just to boost the self-esteem of housewives.

The salary was calculated roughly based on the number and types of chores the housewife does, times the hours per week spent working. Respondents apparently 'work' on average 94.4 hours per week performing duties such as, "housekeeper and day care center teacher to van driver, psychologist and chief executive officer." Ok, the CEO part is total bullshit. CEO of a tiny company of 4, maybe. But I don't think it's that serious.

The study also took into account working moms, who "reported an average 54.6 hour "mom work week" besides the hours they spent at paying jobs." How is that even possible? Are they counting an entire 48 hours for the weekend?

The salary calculation is overly inflated because it takes into account overtime hours. Well obviously there's going to be overtime because it's not a real job with regular hours!

For the curious exercise of quantifying and monetizing the amount of work done by housewives, this study is interesting. But for the purposes of using this 'salary' number as a basis for negotiation or justification, that's just ridiculous. So before housewives start running off, demanding more [blank] from their husbands, they should really add up the number of hours the husbands spend dealing with shit around the house to their current salary and then see who's still earning more.

More realistically, this 'salary' should be viewed as the opportunity cost of having kids and giving up a job that earns real income, not just intangible income. Now the cost of having kids just increased significantly. Ouch!

Gay Marriage in California!

2008-05-15T21:13:00.002-04:00

Yay! Same-sex couples can get married in California! Well, for now, it seems.

Super exciting!!

Iran So Far

2008-05-11T17:18:00.003-04:00

Whoa, did SNL just do something remotely funny? I think so!

It's Andy Samberg and Adam Levine singing to the President of Iran. Ok, it's 'chuckle' funny, not 'HAHAHA' funny, but it's still better than 'change the channel' funny that SNL has been specializing in lately.

ASU is Lame

2008-05-05T21:51:00.002-04:00

So I check out CNN online and see a video titled "Students strip before finals". I'm shady, so I clicked on it immediately.

Disappointment. You'd think that for a school that isn't a bastion of academic prowess, they'd make up for it by excelling in their extracurricular activities. Alas, these kids only strip down to their underwear and run around campus. Lame!

Meanwhile, back up the academic scale, the kids at the University of Michigan strip down to nothing but their ball hairs in the dick-shrinkage cold weather to run through campus for the Naked Mile. This is how it's done.

Wow...

2008-05-01T20:55:00.002-04:00

Ok, am I the only one who thinks the new Verizon FiOS commercial just completely sucks? It makes NO sense. And it's disgusting. Why is the flea saying "wow"? And why is a flea even involved? Gross!!!

Tandi Iman Dupree is Holding Out for a Hero

2008-04-03T20:53:00.002-04:00

A friend sent me this video and I love it!! Apparently she passed away. So sad.

But this video is amazing! Werk!

Who Says Corporate America Doesn't Have a Sense of Humor?

2008-04-03T20:06:00.003-04:00

We all have little things that we're embarrassed about. But how much would it suck to be embarrassed about the name of the company you work for?

I can only assume that's how employees in Houston feel when they have to tell their friends and loved ones that they work for BJ Services.

Well congratulations, because BJ Services ranked in the top 10 of BusinessWeek's Best Corporate Performers list.

If you're curious what BJ Services does, it's not really far off from what you'd expect. It provides BJ services. According to BusinessWeek...

BJ Services specializes in getting more crude out of tight rock formations and other unconventional spots.

Unconventional spots like ~~cocks~~ rocks? How do you ask? By using its "pressure pumping services", which involve "stimulation services" to extract liquid from the target.

Sounds familiar to me! Maybe I should apply for a job at BJ Services. I could be CEO -- Chief Extraction Orifice. Sign me up!

Wal-Mart is Evil!

2008-03-25T22:27:00.002-04:00

Just when you think Wal-Mart's PR problems are under control, it goes out and fucks them up again. This time, when one of their employees suffered brain damage in a car accident, they decided to sue her to recoup the cost of her medical bills. Isn't that insane?

I thought the whole insurance business model relied on sucking up premiums and investing them so when you do have to pay out money, it's not that big of a deal. You're not supposed to sue the person to get your money back!

This poor woman not only is brain damaged, but her 18 year old son died in Iraq recently. On top of that, her husband divorced her. He divorced her not because he doesn't love her, but so she could qualify for medicaid. Isn't that insane??

Granted, there was fine print in Wal-Mart's health insurance policy saying that "the company has the right to recoup medical expenses if an employee collects damages in a lawsuit." Even still, I think that's a whack policy. Insurance is there to protect your employees, not ass-rape them in case bad shit happens.

Once again, Wal-Mart acts like a complete jackass. When will they get their shit together and stop being insane!

"Unhitched" Sucks

2008-03-23T21:13:00.002-04:00

Fox's new show, "Unhitched", is just horrible. I just don't understand who would think the show is funny? The premise isn't anything all that brilliant and the plot lines of the show are just stupid. It's the kind of 'stupid' that is humorous to beer-guzzling community college graduates.

It's really annoying that the show is slotted between The Simpsons and Family Guy, which means a few things...

1) I sometimes find myself sitting there and watching it as I'm done with The Simpsons and wait for Family Guy to come on, and

2) Its ratings are probably inflated because other people are doing the same thing -- watching it even though they don't want to.

Will someone just cancel the show and replace it with something that doesn't suck?

Harder, Better, Faster, Amazing-er

Thanks for making me watch it Adrian :)

The Return of Jezebel James

2008-03-16T22:02:00.003-04:00

Because I'm a fat girl, I stay home on Friday nights. Luckily for me, this allowed me to catch Parker Posey's new show, The Return of Jezebel James.

Ok, kinda stupid title and the commercials didn't make it seem that great. But once I started watching it, I remembered why I love Parker Posey. She's hilarious!

The show is actually pretty good. Not good enough to watch every Friday, though, which means that unfortunately unless FOX moves it to a different night, the show will be canceled mid-season. So enjoy it while it lasts!

The only thing I find annoying is the same with all shows that take place in New York. It's fraught with inaccuracies. I won't go into how in Episode 2, her apartment is gigantic and would cost at least $8 million if it were real. I guess that's just the magic of television.

Desperate Times...

2008-03-16T21:36:00.002-04:00

Bear Stearns just sold itself to JPMorgan Chase for $236.2 million, which translates to a pathetic $2 per share. Holy shit!! As of Friday, Bear's stock was trading at $30 a share. Damn!! This subprime mortgage drama is a bitch!

So you know the world is in complete financial disaster when one of the largest I-banks gets bought out for a fraction of its market cap, with the Government assisting via special financing.

Now, I assume there'll be some layoffs and whatnot, since it's already happening at other banks. And not to capitalize on the misfortune of others, but I'm still waiting for the New York housing market to drop because I'm tired of renting. Maybe this will push that process along :)

Yay Ellen! Boo Sally Kern!

2008-03-13T21:36:00.002-04:00

Ok, Ellen's been workin it out lately. See, these are the benefits of being an "out" actor! You can actually speak up and make a difference. Hello.

This is her reaction to Sally Kern's crazy speech... if you haven't seen it already.

And I love Wanda Sykes. She cracks my shit up.

Crazy Oklahoma Rep. Sally Kern

2008-03-10T21:34:00.003-04:00

It always scares me when crazy people get elected to public office. It means at least two things:

1) The people who voted for the official really shouldn't be allowed to vote, and

2) Crazy has a microphone

This can just be summed up in one phrase: "Stupid is as stupid does". Either way, it means the system has broken down and democracy (or demoCRAZY) is in jeopardy.

The latest flare of Crazy in the fireworks of our nation is Oklahoma Representative Sally Kern. Now that her anti-gay speech is all over the internet, I wonder how long it'll be until she resigns.

I'm not going to dissect her speech and provide commentary. Honestly, every breath is just a little piece of insanity, so what's the point. Besides, it's more impactful if you formulate your own opinion.

Honestly, I think this woman just needs to be touched. She needs to stop sipping the Haterade so she can spend more time getting laid. People who have sex don't have time to hate on other people -- they're too busy having sex and being happy. That's what she needs... a good strap-on up her cooch.

In case you feel like reaching out and getting in touch with her...

Look Book - Two Little Faglings

2008-03-08T16:37:00.006-05:00

Because I love New York Magazine's "Look Book" so much, I've decided to pay homage to it the only way I know how -- by criticizing the hell out of it.

The February 11th Look Book features two little student faglings, Steven Gutierrez and Anthony James in their over-the-top, cliche outfits du jour.

I actually don't mind the outfits at all, particularly if they were worn by women instead of little boys, but it's more the content of their interview that irks me.

Aside from the fact that, based on the way they respond, they are clearly New York neophytes, the one -- Steven in particular -- is just a typical faggot, sugar daddy and all:

Where did you get your outfits?
STEVEN: All over, but my boyfriend got me the bag. I think he got it on Fifth Avenue.

Is he into fashion?
STEVEN: He’s very Ralph Lauren. He’s more like a gentleman kind of type. He’s very country club. He’s a golf instructor somewhere. Orlando, maybe? I don’t know. I don’t talk to him much about it.

Fifth Avenue is kind of a big stretch of street. Maybe he could just open his purse and read the label, then he'd know where the bag came from. Just a thought.

My heart is always warmed when I hear of the loving relationship between a "gentleman kind of type" who gives "somewhere from Fifth Avenue" bags to their young student boyfriends who don't really know that much about him. I guess it's hard to really know your ~~sugar daddy~~ boyfriend when you're in New York and he's in "Orlando, maybe?"

2008-03-01T23:40:00.002-05:00

Just when you think it's safe to frolic about, a 15yo kid (Lawrence King) gets killed by a 14yo kid (Brandon McInerney) because he's gay. And it happened outside LA. What kind of madness is this?

Gay murders in Blue states is unacceptable. Ok, gay murders anywhere are unacceptable, but still. The fact that he was shot in the head by the 14yo just blows my mind (no pun intended). Where are all these kids getting their guns from?? More importantly, HOW are these kids getting guns?? I couldn't get a gun if I tried. OK, I could just go to Wal*Mart and purchase one. I guess that's the problem.

In true gay fashion, a march was organized for Larry. Ellen mentioned it on her show. People are mentioning it on their blogs. And already there are a ton of "Remembering Lawrence" videos posted on YouTube.

So hopefully with all this press, something will change for the better. But why does it always take someone dying for change to come about?

Stuff White People Like

2008-02-28T23:04:00.002-05:00

I don't know where this blog came from, but if you haven't read it yet, then you're...

1) Behind the trend, and
2) Totally missing out on a little slice of hilarity

As soon as I heard about it I instantly was like "Bust a Move has to be somewhere in this blog!" and sure enough, here it is. White people love to get "jiggy" with some white-a-fied "rap" music.

The blog isn't totally expansive yet, so it'll only provide hours of entertainment, but it's daily entertainment for sure.

Americans Are Seeing the Light

2008-02-25T21:40:00.002-05:00

Switching religions and/or dropping out of organized religion all together is the newest trend! I guess all that learning about "intelligent design" made people realize they're not actually getting a real education, so it's time to switch back to the facts.

Some quick statistics from the survey:

More than one-quarter of American adults have left the faith of their childhood for another religion or no religion at all
One in four adults ages 18 to 29 claim no affiliation with a religious institution
While nearly one in three Americans were raised Catholic, fewer than one in four say they're Catholic today

Hopefully this new trend away from the rigidity of organized religion will continue to permeate American culture, so the general public is actually able to make intelligent decisions en masse rather than those where the end result is re-electing an incompetent president like Bush.

Since re-election is no longer an option, I think we're safe. But I'm looking forward to better decisions going forward. Very exciting.

Bottoms In Disguise

2008-01-16T19:39:00.000-05:00

I love how faggots are such tricky tricks. Everyone's an actor. There seems to be a new trend in online hooking -- pretending you're a top (or maybe vice versa?). I guess it's some sort of fantasy thing, but to me it's just false advertising.

And since of course I'm a heartless bitch, here's an example of what I'm talking about:

Tricky trick, huh?

The Magic of Television

2008-01-15T18:29:00.000-05:00

Back to Gossip Girl. I forgot to mention a few things in my previous post.

The first thing that I find amusing on the show is that everyone lives on the Upper East Side except for Dan and his family, who live in a loft in Williamsburg. Ok, I think it's funny that they keep referring to it as a "loft", probably to emphasize the "hip-ness" of their location or whatever. But more importantly, I love how the characters on the show treat it like it's just around the corner.

Serena's always popping in like it's down the block. Her mom is randomly coming over to flirt with Dan's dad. Meanwhile, everytime I watch the show and one of them mentions coming over, I cringe. It's a LEAST a good hour on the subway and probably at least a half hour car ride. I've never taken a car to Williamsburg, but I assume it's not all that quick. I live 5 stops from Williamsburg and I don't treat it like it's around the corner. It's a fuckin TREK!

The other thing I noticed is that the only two minorities on the whole damn show are those two bitches that follow Blair around wherever she goes. And they barely have names! Plus, they're always wearing matching outfits as if to imply that anyone who's not white is just all the same anyway. Hopefully it's done on purpose as some sort of social commentary rather than being some sort of horrible KKK'ish statement. I"m going to stay hopeful and believe in the former. But I do think it's fucked up that the only non-white kids on the show essential have no personality and are just plain vanilla.

And my final thought -- I realize Chuck is trying to cultivate a "look" with that stupid scarf of his, but he needs to put it away, because it's not cute. It's actually quite ugly and dowdy. It looks like he's wearing a quilted comforter. And while they're busy switchin' it up for him, he needs a new cell phone. The Motorola Q is so OVER. Plus, it's a horrible phone. Couldn't the show have gotten Nokia or Sony Ericsson to toss them a phone instead? Come on!! At least he doesn't have a sidekick ... although he is supposed to be in high school :)

To the Point

2008-01-15T02:04:00.000-05:00

I somehow seem to attract and surround myself with these faggots who enjoy talking in circles with lots of innuendo, but no real follow up. It's one of the most frustrating things to me because there's nothing worse than simply wasting time.

I'm all for witty banter and coy remarks, but after the third iteration it's time to either put up or shut up. My friend refers to it as a tango, but after 10 minutes of dancing, it's just a drag.

What's with these people who talk in circles with no point at all? Or the ones who talk in analogies, but then when you call them out on the analogy they claim ignorance to what the analogy or innuendo was really about. It's the same concept as "all talk, no action".

These people are, simply put, time wasters. And in my opinion, someone should be avoided once they've been identified as such.

xoxo, Gossip Girl

2008-01-13T22:40:00.000-05:00

Ok, I have to admit it; I'm addicted to Gossip Girl. Yes, I'm half a year behind, but that's just how I am. I like to stay behind the trends. Why be a leader when it's so much less effort to follow.

At first I thought Gossip Girl was just a horrible depiction of what non-New Yorkers think Upper East Side society is like. I still think that, but like any soap opera, I've learned to love it and now I'm totally sucked in!

The funny thing is that Blaire (sorry if I spell any names wrong -- I'm addicted, not obsessed!) is made out to be the bad guy when really it's the main character, Serena, who slept with her best friend's (Blaire) boyfriend. So if anything, Blaire has a right to be mad at Serena. Lord knows I'd be seething with anger.

Ok, let's call it for what it is -- I like the show because there are a bunch of cute boys running around. There, I admitted it. The girls add some interesting drama, but I'm really in it for the boys.

But now I find myself addicted to this piece of trash, wondering if there's a 12-step program for people like me. Maybe such a program would simply involve growing up and getting a life.

For now, I'm enjoying it. It's filling that empty void in my life. The one that exists between 9 and 10pm on whatever day the show comes on. Ahhh television!

Tacky Grape Lights

2008-01-11T21:36:00.000-05:00

I saw this commercial a while ago and recently saw it again. If you haven't seen or heard of these things, consider yourself fortunate. If you own them, email me so I know to never talk to you again.

They're "romantical" and "elegant" -- they're Napa Grape Lights!

They're grapes... that light up... and twinkle! Can you think of anything more gauche and tacky?? Wouldn't you just die if you were at someone's place and they had those things sitting on the table? I'd be like "uhhh, something's come up and I have to go."

Discount Shopping

2007-12-05T23:43:00.000-05:00

Oh the wonderful treasures you find while shopping at bargain basement stores. I got one of my favorite shirts from Century 21 for like 25 bucks! I usually try to avoid discount stores, simply because I don't have the patience to weed through all the racks of shit to find the one thing that I like and then realize it only comes in XXL.

But I was pleasantly surprised during my last trip to one of those types of stores. Who knew TJ Maxx was so tapped in to the gay consumer. They have something to offer everyone... at low low prices!

I'm actually surprised there's anything on the right side of the rack. Seems like there's always a surplus of active bottoms, but it's impossible to find an active top. Now I wouldn't mind finding one of those in XXL. Thank you TJ Maxx!

Toys for Tots

2007-12-02T16:15:00.000-05:00

The annual Toys for Tots event is happening this evening at the Metropolitan Pavillion. I've actually never been, even though I've had the intention of going. I think it always has something to do with it being on a Sunday and I have to bring a toy -- it's just an extra step along the way and I'm pretty lazy. But apparently it's this big gay "to do" and this year's event sold out at a capacity of 2,000 people.

It's funny, though, because I didn't realize that Toys for Tots is a program of the US Marine Corps. Am I the only one who finds that a bit funny? I guess it's all about the kids and whatnot, but it's still a bit odd that the Marines are more than happy to take our money and donations, but they just won't let us join up. Granted, I don't give a shit because the last thing I want to do is be in the Army (ok, Marines... there's a difference, I'm told), but it's still a bit odd.

It's really not that big of a deal, but I'm just sayin'...

Holy Spandex, Batman!

2007-12-02T15:44:00.000-05:00

So I have this bad habit of taking pictures of people who are horribly dressed in public with my camera phone. It's kind of a hobby, actually. Well, at the very least the challenge of taking someone's picture without them knowing it entertains me. My friends usually aren't amused, though, since I shamelessly go after them once I spot something trifling.

By the way, the picture quality kinda sucks because I switched to an iPhone and, well, nothing's perfect.

Anyway, it seems that tights are making a comeback amongst the fashionably challenged:

And for the fashionably impaired, a trip to the movies is apparently cause to break out the purple tights, and round out the eyesore outfit with a Patricia Field Cadillac handbag:

You would think that people in the city would be able to dress themselves better, but I guess that's a faulty assumption. Although, maybe they think they're being stylish, which is entirely plausible. However, they're failing miserably at it.

History of Marriage

2007-11-26T13:28:00.000-05:00

There was a great article written in the Times today titled Taking Marriage Private. It discusses the history of marriage -- how its definition went from being loosely defined (ie, anyone in a relationship that resembled a marriage was considered married) to being more tightly controlled by states and government (eg, certain states prohibited interracial marriages in the 1920s).

It's interesting to note that marriage "regulation" only came into play when people were doing things that others (or those in power) deemed "unacceptable". In the beginning, if you have Christians living together as a couple, then the church basically acknowledged the couple as being married. However, when it came to interracial marriages, then it was time to regulate who could get married to whom.

More currently relevant is the topic of marriage benefits, which is what most same-sex couples are fighting for. I thought this was an interesting quote from the article that illustrates the necessity in our society for a marriage license, which applies to both opposite-sex and same-sex unmarried couples:

A woman married to a man for just nine months gets Social Security survivor’s benefits when he dies. But a woman living for 19 years with a man to whom she isn’t married is left without government support, even if her presence helped him hold down a full-time job and pay Social Security taxes. A newly married wife or husband can take leave from work to care for a spouse, or sue for a partner’s wrongful death. But unmarried couples typically cannot, no matter how long they have pooled their resources and how faithfully they have kept their commitments.

Denying citizens the right to marry based on moral values as opposed to societal and/or economic reasoning just doesn't make sense. The whole point of marriage is to create social stability and a stronger family foundation. To deny people that opportunity is to weaken and devolve our society as a whole. Why is it that so many people in this country are inclined to take steps backwards rather than forward?

Alicia Keys - "No One"

2007-11-11T23:04:00.000-05:00

This is my new favorite song! I think it's such a pretty song and I really like the lyrics.

Our Government Always Succeeds in Failing Us

2007-11-06T16:17:00.000-05:00

CNN published an article stating that 21,000 people who shouldn't have been allowed into the US were mistakenly let in last year. Thankfully (allegedly) none of the people wrongfully let into the country were a threat.

If our country is so hyper-paranoid about terrorist invaders, how could something like this happen? Aren't countless billions of dollars being poured into bullshit agencies like Homeland Security and the like? What is happening with this money?

The Customs and Border Protection agency is blaming insufficient training and understaffing as the two main causes of this mistake. I don't understand citing "insufficient training" as an excuse.

GAO investigators arriving at one point of entry found no border agents in the inspection booth, while at other locations, agents didn't ask for travel documents, according to the report.

To me, that doesn't seem like insufficient training and understaffing, it sounds more like utter incompetence and absenteeism / slacking off. I don't think border agents need to be "trained" to ask for travel documents when someone's crossing the border. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that kinda the whole point of their job?? Well, other than sitting in their booth watching Oprah -- oh wait, they're not even doing that!

I hope this isn't used as another excuse to provide more funding for Homeland Security issues. Rather, this incident should be used as an example of the utter incompetence of our Government, providing sub-par service to its citizens.

You Must Not Know 'Bout Me

2007-10-30T00:03:00.000-04:00

So I was just hanging out and this song suddenly popped into my head.

At first it made me think of the video with that cute little boy doing a whole dance routine to it. But then I started listening to the lyrics and realized that Beyonce is an angry nutcase ... and that I can totally relate! Work it out!!

I Gotta Get Off the Internet

2007-10-27T19:05:00.000-04:00

So I'm just chillin at my computer with gay.com on in the background because I have nothing better to do while I'm cleaning my apt. Then I get this wonderful message:

i'll blow you for 50.00
huh?
i need 50.00 and i will blow you to get it
dude, you're like 35 ... why do you need to blow someone for $50??
well, i really need 500.00
but i am not sure how to get it
ok...
so, life sucks for me
don't you have a job?
i certainly tdo
but i need more money
quickly
well good luck, I guess...
if you know of anything, i will do just about anything
well, safe
I can't think of anything. sorry
what do you need the money for?
id rather not tell you

Will somebody please save me from myself??? What the hell is going on??

An Important Question

2007-10-13T02:59:00.001-04:00

If I were this queeny and flaming, would people still want to fuck / date me?

This boy is a bit ridiculous, but I find him extremely amusing. Part of me wishes I could just queen out like him, but then my frosted side is thinking I'd never get another date again. The irony is that this kid has a boyfriend. Madness!!!

Anyway, this was really more about the highly entertaining video than anything else. This kid cracks my shit up!

NYC Taxi Strike Annoys Many, Impacts Little

2007-09-05T22:42:00.000-04:00

Apparently I was ill-informed this morning as I waited to flag down a taxi to go to work. I had heard my taxi driver the previous day ask another driver if he was striking tomorrow (ie, today), but I thought he was just retarded (he wasn't a very good driver).

But alas, after waiting a good 10 minutes to flag down a cab, to no avail, I ended up walking to work... angrily.

I don't understand the taxi strike. It seems to me that there were still a bunch of taxis on the streets this morning. I thought a strike meant that they don't work. This was just confusing. Apparently this strike was pretty lame and did more to just piss people off than actually make an impact, considering apparently 73% of the taxi cab force was on the road today, versus the normal 93%. That's hardly an impact.

I take issue with this strike for a number of reasons:

1) It was just a confusing annoyance. Not enough cabs were off the road for it to be considered a "strike". A more appropriate moniker would be something more like "collusion" and price-fixing", since the cabbies on the road are charging each passenger $10 per "zone" for a ride. That's bullshit.

2) The general premise of the strike is that the GPS technology is an invasion of their privacy and would allow the use of credit cards, which I assume means they'd have to account for tips on their taxes. First of all, if I have to pay taxes on every bit of income I make, then so do they. Please, most of these people probably are illegal immigrants and aren't paying taxes at all, so I think they can spare some cash. Secondly, the GPS system increases the safety and efficiency of the whole taxi system, and if you don't like it, then don't drive a cab -- do something else.

3) If these cabs are on strike, then why did I see so many driving around the city today. If you're going to strike, stay at home!! Don't clog up the streets with your damn cabs, and certainly don't drive around all day wasting gas an polluting the environment. I even heard one cab honking at another car. If you're on strike and not doing your job, then you've forfeit your right to honk.

My solution to the whole problem is the same solution with any strike situation: fire everyone who's striking, replace them with more competent people, and get the shit back up and running again.

I have a 9am meeting tomorrow and I'm in NO mood to walk to work or take the subway. So these damn cab drivers better get their shit together, suck it up, and realize that Big Brother is watching them whether they like it or not!

2007-09-02T02:40:00.001-04:00

So I'm in the process of having a hilarious conversation with a friend about pretty much nothing. But i'm cutting and pasting in the funny parts, just because...

Friend: omg -- i have the worst question for you
Friend: when you give head do you focus more on the shaft or the head?
Me: head
Friend: ok
Friend: i know it's been a minute
Friend: but what's up with these boys that focus on the shaft
Me: they're stupid
Friend: ok -- so these kids just don't know how to give good head
Me: right

Friend: btw your frenemy was on gaycom today
Me: which one? Jonathan?
Me: Eli?
Me: Shane?
Friend: dan
Me: or Aaron?
Me: oh, hahahahahha
Friend: Girl you haven't added him to the frenemy list yet?
Me: bitch please.. did you see how many names I tossed out??

Me: omg, I'm totally gonna write a blog thingy about that
Me: just cut and paste!
Friend: our conversations are stimulating lots of blog postings
Friend: is it b/c you're high?
Me: little bit. But yeah, cuz 1) they're interesting, and 2) I'm fuckin' lazy and don't liek to write anymore
Me: uhhh, maybe it's funny cuz i'm high... but I'm not THAT high
Friend: i can tell
Friend: your blog has become your red headed step child
Me: seriously... and you KNOW i'm not into fire crotch

NYC Street Style

2007-08-31T16:44:00.000-04:00

Oh the amazing things you see just from walking around in the city.

I just had to take a picture of these boots last winter. Aren't they hideous?? I feel like she thought they were cute. They have little fuzz balls attached to them!!! Disgusting.

It may seem like I'm a cunt rag coward because almost all the pictures are of people from behind, but that's not the case. What really happens is that by the time my stupid Motorola phone switches over to "picture-taking mode", the person's already walked past me!

This woman's outfit is horrible. I HATE pig-tails. They're just not cute. And I think she mugged the Tinman for that jacket she has on. I don't even know what her hat is about. It looks like she's wearing a collapsed tote bag.

And to bring it all home, here's a picture of what looks to be a middle-aged hooker standing outside my office building. And who says the East Side lacks personality??

No, but Yeah, but No, but...

2007-08-23T00:07:00.000-04:00

Another that cracks me up. Ok, I think I need to get a life. But really, this shit's funny! My friend thinks she talks like me, but I don't think I talk that quickly or incoherently...

This one is my favorite:

Holy Mullet, Batman!

2007-08-21T18:34:00.000-04:00

That other blog has nothin' on me! I spot hot messes on a daily basis!

This chick decided to dye her Kentucky Waterfall to make it stand out even more. CLASSY!!!

I couldn't get a very good picture, so I kept stalking her...

Rascally Rabbit

2007-08-16T22:28:00.000-04:00

I was walking past a florist the other day and saw the strangest cactus in the window. I thought it looked familiar, but I couldn't place it. Can you figure it out?

Any ideas?

No?

Here's a hint...

How 'bout now? :) Complete with clit massager!

Oh He Was GORGEOUS!

2007-08-11T01:00:00.001-04:00

Seriously, I'm obsessed with Little Britain:

Shamu Gives Birth

2007-07-31T18:20:00.000-04:00

If you haven't seen this clip yet, then brace yourself.

Now, I have two questions:

1) How did she get pregnant? Not like, 'birds and the bees' how, but more like WHO would fuck her so she could get pregnant?? Did she like randomly sit in sperm or something?? What the fuuuuuck. Apparently she has a boyfriend.

2) On that note, how does this whale of a woman have a boyfriend and I don't?? What type of sick fucked up world do we live in where someone five times my size, who probably weighs at least a metric ton, has a boyfriend and a baby and I'm just chillin by myself?!

It boggles the mind. She is quite a big bitch, though. Maybe she should start a health Fat Fighters diet of low-in-carbs dust.

"I can't remember why I don't like him"

2007-07-26T00:22:00.000-04:00

My friend sent me this hilarious IM conversation that I just had to post. Faggots can be so vicious!! [Note: some names have been changed to protect the innocent. Others have remained the same to condemn the retarded]

Chase (12:13:39 AM): how was the soccer thing?
Kevin (12:13:49 AM): it was alright
Kevin (12:14:04 AM): Tyler went for like $550 and was bought by that annoying kid Alex who I don't like
Chase (12:14:22 AM): Hmm ... remind me who annoying Alex is again...
Chase (12:14:30 AM): there are so many ppl you don't like -- hard to keep track.
Kevin (12:14:46 AM): wvadman_ on Manhunt
Chase (12:15:06 AM): uggg --- i hate him too
Chase (12:15:13 AM): he makes me throw up a little in my mouth
Kevin (12:15:15 AM): HAHAHAHAHA
Kevin (12:15:16 AM): why don't you like him? I can't remember why I don't like him
Chase (12:15:32 AM): he hit on me obsessively at roxy
Chase (12:15:40 AM): try to take advantage of me bc i was drunk
Kevin (12:15:49 AM): that's classy
Chase (12:15:58 AM): and was stalkerish when i saw him after -- he'd walk by me looking all creepy and predatory
Kevin (12:16:00 AM): and now he's buying boys for dates
Chase (12:16:13 AM): look at his hairline! does he really have a choice?
Kevin (12:16:47 AM): HAHAHAHA

Fat Fighters!

2007-07-24T00:06:00.000-04:00

So my friend forced me to watch this show over and OVER, but it's actually really hilarious. This is the only version I could find on YouTube, which explains why it has Spanish (??) subtitles. Whatever. It's still hilarious. Little Britain cracks me up!

Playing on the Right Team

2007-07-20T18:27:00.000-04:00

This video is outta control. Somehow I think I missed out on a whole lot of straight guy action. Maybe it's a European thing. Either way, this shit is ridiculous.

Someone sign me up for this Rugby team. I don't know how to play. And I can't throw or catch. But I'd look cute in the uniform and would boost team morale. I'd be the cocksucking MVP of that motherfuckin' team!

Puppy!

2007-07-09T00:03:00.000-04:00

OMG, I want a puppy! They're so cute! Well, I want to rent, not own. There's no way I could take care of another living thing when I can barely make sure I'm fed on time.

Damn Right, I'm Smarter Than Ya'll

2007-06-25T22:00:00.000-04:00

First borns (or those treated as the first born) are smarter than the rest of their siblings. No shit! Cuz I'm a fuckin' genius!!

Enrique Loves His Gay Fans!

2007-06-17T23:32:00.000-04:00

... and we love him!! Well, ok, I love him. I can't speak for the rest of you.

I know this happened a bit ago, but I thought this video of Enrique Iglesias singing to some kid (whom I can only assume is a gay man) was the cutest thing ever. Plus, I like that song.

Apparently this happened in London at G.A.Y. I had a horrible time the last time I was there, but it's a huge club/space and it's cool he brought that boy on stage.

Enrique's man enough to sing to another man. That's hot as shit. I wanna have his babies -- face moles and all!

Let's hope more people follow suit.

Retro or Retarded?

2007-05-25T23:38:00.000-04:00

I have a tendency to revisit old music when I get bored of and/or annoyed with current music. Lately I've been slightly obsessed with the band Better Than Ezra. It sounds kinda lame, but seriously, Better Than Ezra had good songs. Sorry!

Unfortunately, I mentioned this to the good people at SPIN Magazine and they must have thought I was a complete dork. Their (very kind) reaction was to send me some CDs to update my iTunes, stat! Thanks, SPIN!!

But I swear there's some sort of mid-90s resurgence going on! I heard their song, "Desperately Wanting" on the radio when I was in DC. Then I heard it again the other night as I was walking down 9th Ave. Some guitarist guy in a bar was playing/singing the song. It's crazy!!!

Has anyone else heard of Better Than Ezra? Heard of them? I'm totally going to one of their concerts -- well, whenever they're in close proximity to NYC.

Coming Out Insurance

This little clip was quasi-entertaining...

One Night Stand Etiquette

2007-05-14T18:59:00.000-04:00

So I know I've been terribly remiss in updating my blog, but life is crazy. Apparently "life takes Visa", but unfortunately I use American Express.. so therein lies some of the struggle. Argg.

Alas, I was sent this hysterical video that both entertains AND informs. Imagine that! This chick cracks me up. The cleaning the ear thing is good advice, because sometimes guys do like to go for my ears. Go figure.

So Long New York!

2007-05-02T23:27:00.000-04:00

This weekend begins my new love affair with Philadelphia, the city of "brotherly love". I'm hopin' to find some brother lovin' (well, not exactly) along with a killer cheesesteak. Actually, I'm really excited about the cheesesteaks. Yumm!!

Hopefully I'll be able to take pictures of people in hideous outfits like this one...

...and this one...

... or just with ugly boots like these...

Friends don't let friends leave the house looking like this.

Shake What Ya Mama Gave Ya

2007-04-28T23:52:00.000-04:00

I don't know what to think of this video. It's pretty funny, though. I can't handle it.

I think the best part is the group dance with the three of him. Nice.

Happy 4/20!

2007-04-20T08:25:00.000-04:00

For your pot-smoking enjoyment, we present...

Jiggle Those Titties!
Well, they're more like pecs than titties, but still. He's kinda hot. The belly button ring is pretty faggy, but watevs.

Holy Embarassing, Batman!

2007-04-18T23:23:00.000-04:00

Sucks that this kid's cute because he can't carry a tune worth shit and that makes him pretty unattractive. Can you say, "Hot Mess!"

Poncho Party

2007-04-17T19:36:00.000-04:00

I must be the most hyper anal person I know because apparently it's not normal to plan your birthday party two months in advance. HOWEVER, in my defense, I have nothing better to do with my time at the moment and the stuff that I'm planning for my birthday takes a lot of lead time.

But I'm happy as a clam that they sell the hideous Ugly Betty Guadalajara poncho online, which is an integral part of my costume-slash-party theme.

HOT!

Actually, I do have some competition for my birthday party. My friend's birthday is a week before mine and he's decided to do a big party also. Originally, he was supposed to have a small party, then we'd do a joint one for Gay Dayz at Disney World, then we were going to do mine. But the bitch changed his mind! So now he's gonna have a crazy big party and I have to at least match, if not out do, what he's doing. Pressure's on!! Though, his party concept doesn't require a panel of celebrity judges and two dance performances, so I'm sure mine will be better. Haha!

Top What?

2007-04-15T23:48:00.000-04:00

Bravo keeps making shows that highlight gay jobs -- fashion design, interior decorating, cooking, gym trainers, and now hair stylists. It's the same format for each show. At what point will people get tired of this?

And what's next?? Why stop there?? What about the other gay industries?? Top Escort, Top PornStar, Top Bartender, Top Drag Queen, and of course, Top Actor-slash-Waiter. The Gay Industry possibilities are endless! I basically just provided Bravo with their programming pipeline for the next 6 seasons.

The newest "Top Fest" (that sounds hot!) on Bravo is Shear Genius. I don't understand this show. Who wants to watch a show about cutting hair?? It's not like I can just go out and start cutting peoples' hair, and it's not like I can just up and change my hair style as a result of watching the show, so what's the deal? Maybe they'll at least include some sort of hair product education component to the show. That might help. But other than that, I'm completely uninterested.

I think this show's gonna bomb after the first couple of episodes. At least Project Runway teaches you about clothing and inspires your sense of style. Top Chef gives you new recipe ideas. And Top Design gives you a reason to laugh at every cheesy thing that comes out of Jonathan Adler's mouth. But Shear Genius? I don't know. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Personally, I'd be more interested in watching "Top Escort". I'm sure it'd be "action packed".

Happy Birthday, Willi !!

2007-04-12T00:23:00.000-04:00

Today is Willi Ninja's birthday. It seems like a natural time to reflect and contemplate his life. I'm not really in the mood for that right now. It's too deep. But what I am reflecting on is the fact that I gave him a bag full of stuff for his birthday last year when we threw a surprise party at Happy Valley and someone up and stole all of his presents!! Shaaaady!! Oh well, it's the thought that counts, right? Or something....

To the Left; to the Left

2007-04-08T23:12:00.000-04:00

My friend sent me this video. It's the cutest thing ever! His hips just keep swinging!! Strut, Boy. Strut!

I almost died laughing when he kicked the chair away! This kid reminds me of the nephew on Ugly Betty. SO adorable!!!

Keep the Monkeys Away from my Hands!

2007-04-08T01:33:00.000-04:00

I have NO idea where this "My Hands Are Bananas" video came from, but someone showed it to me. It's been viewed over 2 million times. What the fuck?!

Can someone please explain this to me? I guess it's got some insanely quotable lyrics, like "beware the milky pirate", but still... it's pretty fuckin' awful and awfully fuckin' retarded.

"Who's your friend? He's cute"

2007-04-07T01:53:00.000-04:00

I have to say, the most annoying question I'm constantly asked is "Who's your friend? He's cute." It's usually followed up with "Introduce me" (note, it's not phrased as a question, it's phrased as a command). The derivation of the former question is the statement "You have cute friends. Introduce me."

In the past month, at least four people have asked me that question or muttered that statement. Enough is enough. I know everyone thinks the best way to meet people is through friends, but they need to not bug me about it.

So lemme break it down for ya. My disdain for that question / statement emerges from two different perspectives.

First of all, I personally think it's a tacky thing to say or ask. As it's rarely meant as a compliment (either to me or to my friends), it's really just a question coming from a place of self-interest and selfishness. That doesn't sit well with me.

Secondly, it also subtly implies that in addition to not being as attractive as my friends, I'm also potentially being used as a vehicle for this person to meet these "attractive" friends of mine. Since I'm not earning a fee for my role as "matchmaker", then I don't really think I'm in the "matchmaking" business and hence I don't feel the need to facilitate a relationship between two people who I apparently consider my friends.

The flip side to this whole situation is that it might not be that bad if these people would offer up some sort of incentive on their end. Why not try to introduce me to one of their cute friends? That is, of course, assuming that they even have cute friends. In a number of these instances, they really don't have many cute friends, to which I say -- you play with your friends and I'll play with mine and the two of us can hang out, but let's keep it separated.

One friend of mine even went as far as to ask me to post a MySpace bulletin announcing his newly single status, in hopes that my friends would contact him. Ummm... hell to the motherfuckin' NO!

I think one of the main reasons it rubs me the wrong way is because it's just yet another manifestation of faggoty behavior where everyone's just a taker. They're all just focusing on what they want and their needs without any understanding of how other people will react to their behavior. Where are all the givers? Damn these cities full of bottoms! :)

So the key takeaway is that if you're going to go down the route of making blanket statements like "your friends are cute. introduce me", then you should immediately follow up that request with an offer that the other person might find equally as compelling. If not, then you're just being a social leech, and nobody likes that.

Diamond Daddy

2007-04-06T01:38:00.000-04:00

The newest trend -- designer diamonds made from your dead daddy. Some chick in Germany wants to turn her dead father's ashes into a diamond. Sounds kinda cool, if you take out the creepy dead parent part.

"People Who Annoy You"

2007-04-03T23:29:00.000-04:00

South Park kills me. Can you guess what the answer is? I got it right.

"Oddly Enough"

2007-04-03T08:33:00.000-04:00

I love Reuter's Oddly Enough section. It always highlights the most random and entertaining things.

Today when I read an article there, all I could think of was, "Oh no they didn't!!" Why? Because this was the title:

"Don't make me axe you again"

Ghetto-fab, Reuters. Ghetto-fab.

McJob

2007-04-01T21:04:00.000-04:00

If McDonald's doesn't want people to call shitty jobs a McJob, then maybe they should make their McJobs less McJob-like. Then maybe people will stop calling it that.

Here's a hint to get you started, McDonald's: Hire fewer dumb-asses. I know you're not allowed to discriminate, but if the applicant has swarovski crystals on her press-on nails, then she's probably not the best McGal for the McJob because all she's gonna do is yap to her McFriends about pointless shit instead of handing me my McNuggets.

Potpockets at Plumm

2007-03-30T01:04:00.000-04:00

Tonight I watched my social life die right before my eyes. I really need to read invites more closely. I thought I was going to a runway show and it ended up just being some random night out at Plumm with straight people.

Now, I thought Plumm was supposed to be nice and "trendy" or whatever, but there was almost nobody there when I arrived. It's almost too embarassing to mention! But I stuck it out because I'm a suck for social obligations.

I'm kinda glad that I stuck around. I ended up having a pretty ok time with my friend and we got to be all "Gorilla's in the Plumm", Jane Goodall-style. I've never really observed straight guys' mating habits at clubs. It's really strange and pathetic. This group of 10 guys comes in and orders a bottle of Cristal. I was real confused at first because it was only guys and they were all chummy. I wanted to go over and be like "Are you guys gay? Or are you just fucking losers??" The answer: the latter.

Turns out that later in the night, they had the waitress round up some ho's to provide them with free Cristal in exchange for their company. This ho ended up with a glass, but there was no exchange. HA! It was actually a really pathetic display. Are straight guys really that lame that they have to resort to spending exorbidant amounts of money just to attract women? And are women that shameless that they'd submit themselves to such transparent tactics?

I chatted it up with this hot blond chick, who was holding a glass of Cristal, and asked her what the fuck was up. She was hilarious. Basically she was offered the glass, took it, and walked away. Score! Later on, one of the guys waved her over and tried to talk to her. I cock-blocked and we continued chatting.

Throughout the night, I kept smelling random clouds of weed. It was kind of a nice break in between waiting for more vodka and/or Cristal to show up. I'm not one to turn down a contact high, but it was hilarious how everyone would react once they smelled it -- like a pig to truffles!

So a part of my social life died tonight... victim of a hit-and-run at Plumm. But at least I got a couple good stories out of it, met a fun chick, and got to spend some Q.T. with my G.F. I guess it was worth it.

Bro Rape

2007-03-27T08:37:00.000-04:00

I found this video on some blog or something. I don't get it. It kinda makes no sense to me. Maybe I don't get the humor because I'm not straight. But what the fuck is "Bro Rape?" Check it out:

If you think it's funny, leave a comment and explain why. Apparently I missed a joke somewhere along the way. I don't think they clearly define what a "bro" is -- well, maybe they do, but I wouldn't call that person a "Bro", I'd call him a "tard" or "pothead" instead.

Is there some sort of "bro rape" epidemic going on that I don't know about whereby all of a sudden some "dudes" are playing xBox and they just start fuckin' each other? Because if so, then I'ma go buy me an xBox!

Windows Mobile Sucks My ASS

2007-03-25T18:49:00.000-04:00

And Verizon Wireless sucks my ass, too! And you know what? Let's just pile on Daylight Savings Time, too. Because when all of these idiotic things collide, it just means a pointless annoyance that could have been avoiding with someone in any of the associated parties using their brain.

But alas, nobody's inclined to use their brain these days, and thus I'm forced to. Unfortunately, the obstacles are just too numerous to overcome.

All I want is my stupid-ass Motorola Q to have the right fucking time on it! You'd think it'd be simple, but alas -- nobody's using their brain. The wonderful instructions provided by Microsoft just take you into a link loop, where I cycle through the same fucking pages over and over again, never really downloading whatever the hell it is I need to update my stupid Windows Mobile software.

As a result, I can't stand the following companies:

Microsoft - because they just can't make shit that isn't broken. Try releasing a product that's at least 85% bug free!
Motorola - because they just can't make shit that isn't broken. 'Design over performance' is going to be their doom.
Verizon Wireless - because they should have worked this out on a system-wide basis instead of having to do certain phones on an individual level.

"I'm from Guadalajara!"

2007-03-21T23:02:00.000-04:00

I just downloaded all the pictures from my phone to my computer. I totally forgot that I'd taken a picture of the silly PR girl from the Heatherette runway show, just in case I wanted to scream at someone because of her incompetence.

Betty Suarez, is that you? Honestly, as much as I wanted to hate her for being an absolute doofus, she totally had this "Ugly Betty" quality about her that was kind of endearing. I still think she fantastically sucks at her job and should pursue a career that involves wearing a hat made entirely out of tortilla, but whatever.

I think the best part about this picture is that, in the background, you can see a drag queen walking into the Tents. A motherfuckin' DRAG QUEEN!!! Since when did putting on a wig and oversized pumps automatically equate to free access to things?? Jesus. The next event I do, it'll be no drag queens allowed! Trannies only -- they have to live in those pumps, not just play dress up for the night.

Why do straights hate gays?

2007-03-20T23:03:00.000-04:00

A friend sent this to me. It's an article by Larry Kramer. Have a read. It's real good because it's real true.

Why do straights hate gays?
An aging 72-year-old gay man isn't hopeful about the future.
By Larry Kramer, LARRY KRAMER is the founder of the protest group ACT
UP and the author of "The Tragedy of Today's Gays."
March 20, 2007

DEAR STRAIGHT PEOPLE,

Why do you hate gay people so much?

Gays are hated. Prove me wrong. Your top general just called us
immoral. Marine Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, is in
charge of an estimated 65,000 gay and lesbian troops, some fighting for
our country in Iraq. A right-wing political commentator, Ann Coulter,
gets away with calling a straight presidential candidate a faggot. Even
Garrison Keillor, of all people, is making really tacky jokes about gay
parents in his column. This, I guess, does not qualify as hate except
that it is so distasteful and dumb, often a first step on the way to
hate. Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama tried to duck the
questions that Pace's bigotry raised, confirming what gay people know:
that there is not one candidate running for public office anywhere who
dares to come right out, unequivocally, and say decent, supportive
things about us.

Gays should not vote for any of them. There is not a candidate or major
public figure who would not sell gays down the river. We have seen this
time after time, even from supposedly progressive politicians such as
President Clinton with his "don't ask, don't tell" policy on gays in
the military and his support of the hideous Defense of Marriage Act. Of
course, it's possible that being shunned by gays will make politicians
more popular, but at least we will have our self-respect. To vote for
them is to collude with them in their utter disdain for us.

Don't any of you wonder why heterosexuals treat gays so brutally year
after year after year, as your people take away our manhood, our
womanhood, our personhood? Why, even as we die you don't leave us
alone. What we can leave our surviving lovers is taxed far more
punitively than what you leave your (legal) surviving spouses. Why do
you do this? My lover will be unable to afford to live in the house we
have made for each other over our lifetime together. This does not
happen to you. Taxation without representation is what led to the
Revolutionary War. Gay people have paid all the taxes you have. But you
have equality, and we don't.

And there's no sign that this situation will change anytime soon.
President Bush will leave a legacy of hate for us that will take many
decades to cleanse. He has packed virtually every court and every civil
service position in the land with people who don't like us. So, even
with the most tolerant of new presidents, gays will be unable to break
free from this yoke of hate. Courts rule against gays with hateful
regularity. And of course the Supreme Court is not going to give us our
equality, and in the end, it is from the Supreme Court that such
equality must come. If all of this is not hate, I do not know what hate
is.

Our feeble gay movement confines most of its demands to marriage. But
political candidates are not talking about — and we are not demanding
that they talk about — equality. My lover and I don't want to get
married just yet, but we sure want to be equal.

You must know that gays get beaten up all the time, all over the world.
If someone beats you up because of who you are — your race or ethnic
origin — that is considered a hate crime. But in most states, gays are
not included in hate crime measures, and Congress has refused to
include us in a federal act.

Homosexuality is a punishable crime in a zillion countries, as is any
activism on behalf of it. Punishable means prison. Punishable means
death. The U.S. government refused our requests that it protest after
gay teenagers were hanged in Iran, but it protests many other foreign
cruelties. Who cares if a faggot dies? Parts of the Episcopal Church in
the U.S. are joining with the Nigerian archbishop, who believes gays
should be put in prison. Episcopalians! Whoever thought we'd have to
worry about Episcopalians?

Well, whoever thought we'd have to worry about Florida? A young gay man
was just killed in Florida because of his sexual orientation. I get
reports of gays slain in our country every week. Few of them make news.
Fewer are prosecuted. Do you consider it acceptable that 20,000
Christian youths make an annual pilgrimage to San Francisco to pray for
gay souls? This is not free speech. This is another version of hate. It
is all one world of gay-hate. It always was.

Gays do not realize that the more we become visible, the more we come
out of the closet, the more we are hated. Don't those of you straights
who claim not to hate us have a responsibility to denounce the hate?
Why is it socially acceptable to joke about "girlie men" or to
discriminate against us legally with "constitutional" amendments
banning gay marriage? Because we cannot marry, we can pass on only a
fraction of our estates, we do not have equal parenting rights and we
cannot live with a foreigner we love who does not have government
permission to stay in this country. These are the equal protections
that the Bill of Rights proclaims for all?

Why do you hate us so much that you will not permit us to legally love?
I am almost 72, and I have been hated all my life, and I don't see much
change coming.

I think your hate is evil.

What do we do to you that is so awful? Why do you feel compelled to
come after us with such frightful energy? Does this somehow make you
feel safer and legitimate? What possible harm comes to you if we marry,
or are taxed just like you, or are protected from assault by laws that
say it is morally wrong to assault people out of hatred? The reasons
always offered are religious ones, but certainly they are not based on
the love all religions proclaim.

And even if your objections to gays are religious, why do you have to
legislate them so hatefully? Make no mistake: Forbidding gay people to
love or marry is based on hate, pure and simple.

You may say you don't hate us, but the people you vote for do, so
what's the difference? Our own country's democratic process declares us
to be unequal. Which means, in a democracy, that our enemy is you. You
treat us like crumbs. You hate us. And sadly, we let you.

Tomorrow! I Love Ya!

As crazy as it sounds, sometimes I wish I were a Musical Theatre (that's "-re" not "-er"! haha) major. It seems like they have so much fun. Well, how could you not have fun when there really isn't much intellectual "work" involved and it's all singing and dancing. It's like majoring in Kickball -- what's not to love??

Just check out this video of this goofy kid singing "Tomorrow" from Annie. I wish I knew how to sing without breaking glass :(

But even though I can't sing, I still wish I could dance. But alas, I can't do that, either. Well, I used to be able to dance, but now all I do is kinda dance from the waist up because I'm at a lounge instead of a club. But if I had any talent, I'd strap on my tights and ease on down the road!

I think I posted that video before, but it's still amusing.

Fashion Police - Episode 1

2007-03-15T22:40:00.000-04:00

So I've decided I'm going to do this whole series on fashion eye sores -- street spottings, if you will. I've gotten into the habit of taking quick pictures of people when I'm out. Unfortunately, it's usually with my cell phone, but still... it's a decent enough quality to get a sense of how truly hideous the outfit is.

Today's fashion eye sore is this pair of Clydesdale boots. I spotted them whilst being seated for brunch. I don't know WHAT this girl was thinking. Sunday brunch is never THAT casual! Actually, her boots look less like the hoves of a Clydesdale and more like they were made out of fur from a dog!

Oh, and she has a gigundo ass as well! Maybe she was thinking that the big boots would make her ass look smaller. Yeah, theories like that never work out in practice. Whoops!

I hope she ordered an egg white omelette.

Crazy Acid Throwing Woman

2007-03-14T21:31:00.000-04:00

From dying dolphins to poor white trash. This video is much better than the last one I posted. At least it's something to make fun of!!

The whole time I kept staring at her missing teeth. I was like "Jesus, lady!" And I've got this thing about upper lips -- I really don't like it when people don't have an upper lip. It's kind of a turn off. So I'm wondering what's up with this woman, why she's all crazy like that, then my answer appears -- the bitch keeps dumping roach poison on herself!! Yeah... they teach Intelligent Design in the South, right? Keep on truckin'!

Dolphin Massacre

2007-03-14T00:40:00.000-04:00

HOLY SHIT!!!!

This video is CRAZY!!! I feel so bad for the dolphins!!! This is almost enough to make me into a vegetarian -- except I'm too lazy to ever be a vegetarian. The poor fishies are just left to suffer. Fucking MADNESS.

Body Language

2007-03-12T21:55:00.000-04:00

I came across this weird video. I can't tell if it's serious or if it's supposed to be a joke. It seems kind of like a joke to me, but sometimes people are idiots and fail to see their own stupidity. Though since it's listed under Comedy, then maybe it is a joke.

In any case, there's too much to poke fun of in the video and I couldn't come up with a really interactive way of commenting on every little part, so I pussed out and just decided to do nothing.

For your educational enjoyment...

Set You Free

2007-03-09T08:35:00.000-05:00

I love this song and never realized that there was actually a music video for it. Well, the video sucks, so I guess it's for the best that I didn't know it existed. But I'm in a 90s flashback kinda mood so I'm still loving this song :)

How to Make a Black Snake Moan

2007-03-07T20:48:00.000-05:00

Get your mind out of the gutter. This isn't about black cock. Sorry to disappoint.

If you haven't seen the movie Black Snake Moan, you betta git 'yo ass out to the movies and see it! It's hands-down one of the best and funniest movies I've seen in a while.

Granted, it's not meant to be a comedy, but seriously, there's some funny shit up on there. Here's the receipe:

Start with a scene where Justin Timberlake is fucking some chick. It's just funny watching JT fuck someone, I don't know why. Oh wait, because he throws up shortly thereafter. He has GAD.
Mix in a waifish version of Christina Ricci (Trimspa done her good!!) as a crackhead nymphomaniac.
Liberally add in some "muh'fuckas" from Samuel L. Jackson (does he even 'act' anymore?)
Serve with a side of Southern ebonics and hospitality

And there you have it. I give a thumbs up to any movie that, in the first 15 minutes, include a whitewoman asking a black man if he has any money. Priceless! Even better, said whitewoman is such a nympho-drunk that she gets quasi-raped, beat, and shoved head first out of a pickup truck. Classy!! Only later the next morning is she discovered by Samuel L. Strung out 'black mans kryptonite' on the lawn -- hallelujah! Whitewoman on the lawn! Even better, chained-up whitewoman in the living room!!

Despite the unintentional comedy, the story is actually really good and is a nice reminder that somewhere in Hollywood someone's using their brain. It may be a little camp at times (seems like all Samuel L does these days is camp!), but it's worth the 2+ hours that the movie lasted.

Missing in Action

2007-03-06T21:01:00.000-05:00

So yeah, I've been MIA lately. Sorry. Tough shit :)

Life is mad crazy. I've gotta look real fuckin' pretty for a launch event we're doing on Thursday -- check out the front page of the NY Times Style section Thursday morning. Hayden Christensen's on the invite list, which means that if he's there, I'll need to whip out my tranquilizer gun so I can bag and tag a bitch. Love me some Vader!!

To add amusement to the insanity, I'm fighting off some bullshit sinus infection. Sinus infections are for fuckin' dweebs!! I'm used to getting strep. That's for hardcore deep-throatin' sluts! This sinus shit is just whack. But Doctor gave me a Z-pak and some Flonase, which I dont' think will help, but whatever. I'm gonna work that Flonase like Kate Moss, though! It's ALL going up my nose! Why? Because I'm all about glamour; and nothing says "glamorous" like stickin' chemicals up your nose.

So hello 'glamour' and goodbye sinus infection! Oh, and hello Hayden!

And the year's first Darwin Award goes to.....

2007-03-04T23:16:00.000-05:00

... an obese (330lbs!) 26-year old in China for dying as a result of a video game marathon. Fatty, you've got to EAT in between each new level you reach!

I can only assume he died of dehydration or (if it's even possible) starvation. It would be amusing, though, if he were playing Nintendo Wii and died from over-exerting himself. Wouldn't that be crazy!?

The marathon online gaming session took place over the course of 7 days (SEVEN day!!) due to the Lunar New Year. [Side note: when did it change to 'Lunar New Year' Wasn't it always Chinese New Year??? That's like kids now saying "winter break" instead of "Christmas break". WTF.]

Honestly, I think people should spend a little time getting off their ass and un-tethering themselves from their computer and maybe, just maybe, try getting a life! Though clearly this boy didn't have much of a life to live, but still. I know it's ironic that I'm suggesting people go out and get a life while I'm typing this at a computer, but I'm at work and there's really nothing else to do right now. Maybe I'll go on a blogging marathon over the course of 7 days and die from falling on my own sharp tongue. Doubtful.

Copious Notes on a Scandal

2007-03-02T18:12:00.000-05:00

Coo coo ca-choo, Mrs. Ward! Looks like life is imitating art down in Clinton, South Carolina. Well, it seems like a boring place, so surely there's nothing better to do. So why not whittle away your free time between recess and 7th period by having sex with underaged students? It's almost a logical choice... for the mentally insane.

It seems that 23yo middle school teacher Allenna Williams Ward, flatteringly pictured at the right, has identified a little too closely with Cate Blanchette's character from Notes on a Scandal. Ward has been arrested for "allegedly" having sex with 5 teenage boys, ages 14 and 15. Now as tasty as it may seem to bed a teen -- lord knows the boy in Notes on a Scandal was hot! -- let's just hope there was at least some grass on the field before Mrs. Ward (yeah, she's married!) stepped up to bat.

"Class" is in session.

Naturally, some of the boys she boink'd were her students -- let's hope they got an "A" instead of an S, T, D. That's really priceless; who says the American education system is broken? We have hands-on, interactive sex education courses complete with Happy Ending. Take THAT, Japan!! Not only did this 'learning' take place in school, but it also involved field trips to culture-exposing places like a motel, a park, and behind a restaurant. If that's not class, then I don't know what is. I hope they tipped their cleaning lady because those sheets must have been soiled with sin!

Allenna Ward is being held in jail. The only thing left for her to do now is sketch out plans for her own Reality TV show, which will most likely launch with a gut-wrenching appearance on Oprah or Dr. Phil where she admits she has a problem and likes tasty teens, but is helpless to do anything about it. The reality show will most likely feature her going through rehab, subsequently relapsing and banging a boy every other episode. It'll air on WE: Women's Entertainment Television opposite The Bachelor. Stay tuned, horny teachers are standing by.

A Moment on the Lips, a Lifetime of Motor-Oil Sips

2007-02-28T18:21:00.000-05:00

I know I'm really behind on the whole "homophobic Snickers commercial" debate, but I've been busy concerning myself with more important things like Britney's new shaved head and the sociological implications thereof. Right...

If you're even later than me in the whole debate, here are some postings from Towleroad and AmericaBlog about the commercial. You can see the actual commercial via the Towleroad link.

Basically, people have been saying that the ads were homophobic and should be pulled from the air. I say, keep them on the air. Discuss it, debate it, make a whole PR stink about it and keep everything out there so everyone can see for themselves just who's homophobic and who isn't. Apparently there were four different versions of the Snicker SuperBowl ad, each with a different ending. Of the four, only one had a positive portrayal of the same-sex Lady and the Tramp-style kiss. The others had negative endings, with one resulting in the two mechanics washing their mouths out with motor oil. Delightful.

What's even better is that the Snicker's website (which I don't care to link to) contained commentary from pro sports athletes reacting to the commercial. Naturally they all showed disgust at a man-on-man kiss. That's fine. I think everyone's entitled to their own opinion, just as the global consumer is entitled to know what those athletes' reactions were and can hence judge them accordingly.

The ad itself was basically pathetic; the result of an extremely unbrilliant creative team at TBWA\Chiat\Day. Was that honestly the best concept they had to run with? Surely there must have been better ideas. To some of the people who read my blog and work at TBWA\Chiat\Day, I hope you weren't on that project because you probably should have vetoed the spot on the spot. Although, the ad wasn't as annoying as the "Snickerlicious" print campaign. Snore.

Ultimately, the commercial might be able to be deemed a success. It created a strong buzz, possibly enamoring one consumer segment with Snickers and further alienating another from the brand. Ultimately, homos probably aren't part of Snickers' core "fat-adding candy bar" consumer group, whereas homophobic white trash / mechanics probably are.

It's a bit odd that Masterfoods, the company that owns Mars and Snickers, refuses to issue an apology. Apparently the family that owns Masterfoods is really into the Republican party and the Masterfoods company scored a 6 out of 100 on HRC's company index. In the end, I think this is another reason why all the video clips and media should remain on Snickers' site. Just own your homophobia. At least we'll know where everyone stands; there's no point in hiding it.

I'd like to call for an immediate boycott of all Masterfoods / Mars Incorporated products (ie, Snickers, M&Ms, Uncle Ben's, Three Musketeers, Combos, Milky Way, Twix, Starburst, Skittles, and Kudos), not only because the company seems to be homophobic in its actions, but also because I really don't want to see people getting fat from their products. More specifically, I really just don't want to see any fat people at all.

Happy Birthdaze!

2007-02-26T23:33:00.000-05:00

Birthday shout outs!!

First goes to Patricia Field because, despite the fact that she was ROBBED of an Oscar last night, she's still a sassy lady and is way cooler than that French bitch who did win the Oscar. I actually have no clue when her actual birthday is, but she's having her party tomorrow, so that's all I needs to know. Good times.

And my amazing friend Brian is having his birthday party this Friday, despite his birthday being on Wednesday. Woohoo!!!

My awesome friend, Lara's birthday is this Saturday. I haven't talked to her in forever, but she's awesome. Hence, she's my "awesome friend Lara" :)

I feel like there are a bunch of other people whose birthdays are around this time, but I can't remember off the top of my head and I can't figure out how to get to that "Upcoming Birthdays" page in MySpace, so oh well.

Shut Up, Dyke!

2007-02-24T20:51:00.000-05:00

I feel like Rosie O'Donnell should spend less time speaking and more time eating. That's really what she wants to do anyway, so why break from her natural desire. First it's the whole pointless tiff with Donald Trump, and now she's moved on to making fun of Asians.

This fat bitch just can't catch a break. Apparently she was confronted about her blatantly ignorant and racist rant and brushed it off as people not being able to take a joke. Well honey, last time I checked, jokes are supposed to be funny. All I heard was canned laughter from the audience, so that doesn't really cut it. I wonder what her equally as dimwitted 'colleagues' on The View were thinking as Rosie went on her "ching chong" tirade. Joy was probably like, "God, I could never get away with this shit on national TV!"

Meanwhile, this Asian guy posted a response to Rosie's comments, which I found to be thought-provoking. See, Asian's are smart! It's kinda cunty, too, which makes it all the better! The best part is "I don't even speak chinese, but I can do a better impression than that!"

Basically, I feel like Asians are the least vocal minority and are constantly being walked over, so I'm glad someone said something about it. LORD knows that if Rosie made some comments that offended black people, she'd be holding a press conference the next day apologizing profusely as fake tears drip down her cheek. But alas, since it's about Asians, there is no press conference.

Gays are somewhere in the middle, I think. It's still socially acceptable to publically rag on homos without extreme repercussions, though just think of the various levels of media outcry if someone called someone else a "Nigger" vs. "Fag" vs. "Chink" on television. Double standards are fun!

Please Don't Go

2007-02-24T01:54:00.000-05:00

So maybe I turned out gay because I grew up listening to this kind of music. I've never seen the video for this song until now, but damn, it's pretty fuckin' gay. I mean, this guy's a big ol' queen!

There's a better version of this song (audio quality-wise) here, in case you want to take a trip in your time machine.

PS - mid-90s eurodance music is totally going to be part of the theme to my birthday party, so you better brace yourself! Yeah, get REAL scared!!!

Tunnel of Fun

2007-02-23T19:47:00.000-05:00

I've decided that I need a little weird tunnel to dance in front of like the one in this video, complete with strobe light and backup dancers. That would really complete my Friday night experience.

You Wanna be on TV, too??

2007-02-22T17:06:00.000-05:00

Dear god, it looks like yet another pathetic judge is vying for his own reality TV show. The judge presiding over Anna Nicole's burial case seems like he's all about the pointless theatrics and less about the actual ruling of the law. The pussy wept during his ruling and apparently would go off on verbose tangents during the trial.

That's just GREAT. As if the American legal system weren't inefficient enough, now we've got judges doing a little song and dance in the hope that they'll land their on "Judge Judy" type show. Sadly, I'm sure some stupid producer out there will give him his own show because, in America, incompetence is rewarded with fame.

Case in point: the case in point -- Anna Nicole Smith. Made famous by her titty-flashing abilities, which was ultimately exacerbated by her utter skank and shamelessness from marrying the dying old rich man, the complete worthlessness of Anna Nicole's life is exactly what made her famous. Why? Because the American public eats that kinda shit up.

Predictions: Someone involved in this whole fiasco (the judge, the parents, the infant daughter, one of the alleged baby-daddies) will get their own reality TV show. God bless America.

Potter's Un-Hairy Ass

2007-02-22T12:33:00.000-05:00

Oooo, all this excitement, debate, and drama over Harry Potter / Daniel Radcliffe being nude in the new play he's in. Meh, get over it. Here's his ass, so get it out of your system:

I'm kinda not that impressed. They could have photoshopped it so it didn't look as saggy or something. Oh well. Maybe the front's better than the back. And honestly, isn't that what really matters anyway? I'm talking about his face, you know :) Perv.

Lovin' Oh L'Amour

2007-02-21T23:53:00.000-05:00

I just found the best clip ever! Well, it's not the best, but still, I'm happy that I found it. It's an acoustic version of Erasure's Oh L'Amour.

The last time I was at an Erasure concert it was this bizzare mix of half Gays and half Asians. Honestly, I'm not sure how many Gay Asians there were there, but that would have made for a fun little venn diagram of people. It was actually a really good concert and now I'm wishing I went to see them again since I'm pseudo-obsessed with them. Well, not really since I don't know all their songs and all that, but I love the songs of theirs that I know. I probably should have conveyed more enthusiasm for the group when I was introduced to Andy Bell two years ago when he was spinning at Avalon. Whoops.

Gymin' it

Taxicab Confessions

2007-02-21T01:11:00.000-05:00

I don't understand why cab drivers feel the need to make passes at me. I also don't understand why they go through this whole song and dance to do it, too.

At first I thought I was being racially profiled as three cabs passed me by, failing to pick me up. That's not cool! So finally this cab picks me up. I'm all about making small talk with the cabbies since, honestly, what the fuck else is there to do? And honestly, sometimes it's fun when you get a gay cab driver. One time I had a gay one and he totally was all about helping my friend and I check out these boys in the cab driving next to us.

But it's a bit disturbing when they start hitting on you. This guy was making all sorts of pointless small talk, asking me where I was from, if I had a good night, etc. I decided to do the whole "phone call fake-out" thing where I check my voicemails and then desperately try to call someone just so I don't have to talk to the cabbie. Didn't work; he kept talking to me.

He started by offering me his nuts. Pistachio. I politely declined. He asked where I was from. I answered. He said he was from India. I pretended to care. He asked if I was a model. I choked on my own laughter. I purposely got dropped off a block from my building, just in case. He kept talking -- I was almost afraid he wouldn't let me leave. When I finally left, he said "give me your hand" and extended his. Not knowing what the fuck that meant, I just shook his hand and jumped out of the cab. He drove away, honking as if to get my attention again. There was no point in turning around. I was too busy thinking about how I have to get home and wash my hand.

Happy New Year!!

2007-02-18T18:38:00.000-05:00

It's Chinese New Year today! Thank you CNN for telling me because I otherwise wouldn't have known. It's the year of the pig! Apparently I unknowingly celebrated last night circa 1am by eating a side of bacon with my belgian waffle. How festive!!

Tim Hardaway is Homophobic

In case you don't know, Tim Hardaway is like a basketball player or something. He went on the radio and was talking about that other basketball player who came out, then proceeded to say insanely hateful shit. Have a looksee!

Do people really think this way? Of course they do, but they should really get therapy for it.

I'm curious to find out what the net result is after this "apology", calling his comments a "mistake". Yeah, no shit. Unfortunately, to him it's a "mistake" because it's something that'll get him fired. It's not a "mistake" to him because it's something that actually is morally wrong. What a jackass. They should fire him anyway.

Ok, I'll be the first to admit that I'm not always up on global current events, because honestly it's always the same shit going on -- suicide bombing and the like. But seriously, these people are fantastically stupid. At one point some woman actually says "diaper head" in reference to a turban. Wow. Then they ask the black man which state KFC comes from and he doesn't know the answer. Game over!!! Standardized tests have failed us, kids!

Here are some more simple questions that people got egregiously incorrect:

"Name a country that starts with a U"
- "Uhhh... Utah?"

"What's the religion of Israel?"
- "Muslim?"

"What religion are buddhist monks?"
- "??"

"How many sides does a triangle have?"
- "There's no sides. One?"
- "Four."

AMAZING!!!! What about "How stupid are people in Rectangle States?" REAL fuckin' stupid!

Stupid people are why democracy doesn't work. To prove my point, I reiterate the last quote from the clip: "Whatever he thinks is right; he's from Texas, he's gotta be right."
