This is SO me!

POOKIE!!!

To you, Pookie, I send

MAD HUGZ!




and I have something else just for you ......

New Car

Ok, I'm in dire gays (get it?) for a new car. Right now I've got a 1995 S-10 Chevy pickup truck. I know, me in a pick-up truck. Can you imagine? It's falling apart all over the place, and granted it's probably all because of me, but I take care of it to the best of my knowledge. It's got just over 160,000 miles on it, and the expenses for it are becoming more and more like paying a loan off for a new one. So, it's time to get a new one.

My requirements are:

• a car (no truck, no SUVs)


• 30+ mpg highway


• around $20,000 or so


• automatic transmission


• some "umph"


• something slightly sporty


• something I'll be able to find in the parking lot (a.k.a. not something that you see every third car on the road like a Corolla or Accord)

I'm taking any and all suggestions into consideration. Lay 'em on me!

Any Objections?

I'm debating whether or not to widen the face of my blog. It currently stands at 800 pixels wide, measured by the uber-geeky banner at the top. It would allow for side-by-side, medium-sized pictures, and entries that don't look like you're reading the newspaper. I figure nowadays you guys would all be using at least 1024 x 768 resolution if not higher, especially with all the widescreen monitors out now. Mine's 1680 x 1050 widescreen, but I'm a programmer and gamer. =) That's why I'm thinking of maybe going out to 980 pizels wide, the widest a 1024-pixels-wide screen will comfortably show a webpage.

Let me know what you guys think!

Sky Captain and the World of Who Gives a Shit

God, that movie was just awful! I'm not usually one to walk out of theatre usually, but if I'd seen this in the theatre I would have at least yelled "Fuck this shit!" before I left. I mean, what a complete waste of fifteen minutes. Okay, the first ten I thought it was bad, ten seconds that is. The first ten minutes I thought it was cheesy and campy (stupid campy, not gay campy) , and the last five minutes I was giving it a chance but it just got more boring instead. It took me waaaay too long to pop that out of the DVD player. I mean, 15 minutes of my life are gone that I'll never get back. All that time could have been better spent listening to country music or holding my head under water, LOL. Negative 5 stars.

Adam & Steve I rented, too. That was a funny, gay movie with a nice ending. Played by straight characters I believe. I was not expecting to see Chris Kattan from SNL in it, but I'm so stealing his line, "Hey, gay doctor roommate! Hard day at the orifice?" LOL. And what a breath of fresh air to have a happy ending instead of a depressing one with a drug overdose, AIDS death, or rejected lover. Geesh. Five stars.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was a really great show. I'm not even going to attempt to tell you what it's about or what it's like. It's not like anything I've ever seen before really, and I don't want to give anything away by comparing it. You just have to see it. Five stars.

Disturbia. Boring movie for straight boys. It's like an hour and a half of bikini girl then 10 minutes of psycho killer. And Transformer boy didn't even get shirtless. What's up with that??? And I thought it was supposed to be a scary movie. One star to you! Blah!

The Big Lebowski. I'm still not sure what all these people are raving about, it being a "cult classic" and all. It was no Spaceballs or Office Space. It was decent, interesting. Poor Donnie though. 3 Stars.

Vacancy. Again, boring. I skimmed through this one just enough to vaguely find out what happened until the end. And could the beginning BE more slow?? One star only.

Phone Booth. Decent. At least it held my attention (which is so difficult these days). Now, what's that movie with Colin Farrell swinging both ways? ...Ah, Alexander, I'll get that. Three stars.

200 American I watched last night. It was actually pretty good. Looked cheaply made, it didn't have anyone I'd recognize it, but the plot was believable and it too had a decent ending, I thought. 4 stars.

Race You to the Bottom was decent. A lot more pissy quibbling and a lot less hunky Aquaman than I would have liked. Oh well, we'll always have his underwear modeling pics. Two stars.

The Next Best Thing. Worth seeing, maybe worth having. It has Madonna in it if that makes a difference to you. If it does, I guess you should already have it; it was as made in 2000. It had its moments, ups and downs, happy and sad, and even a pre-out Neil Patrick Harris playing a gay character, hehe. 4 stars.

Eating Out was a feast for the eyes. Oof! Ryan Carnes makes me perspire and release the pheromones! Guuurl, him and the other hottie did full frontals in this one. *Freeze Frame* I hear in the sequel, Eating Out 2, there's another hot guy, Brett Chuckerman, who also does a full frontal scene. The plot was interesting and the acting was pretty good, and I was happy to see Jim Verraros in this one along with some of his songs playing in the background, stuff I'd already been buying off iTunes. Lemme tell ya, this hour and a half flew by and I think it counted as cardio! 5 Stars!

Okay, that's enough for a month or two, LOL. I'm currently working on a CILF list (Celebrities I'd Like to Fuck) but it's only got 3 right now. Maybe when it grows a bit I'll share it with you all. =)

He said I could!!

So here's some more of our denim biniki brief boi, again, lying around the house in his underoos.

SkinTube!

I decided my blog has gone too long without some just gratuitous skin slapped up on here...too much readin' n shit. And with the recent organization of all my porn, I've just seem to have gotten more and more. So, here's a few. Enjoy!

Demian

I recently finished reading Demian, a novel of self-discovery by Hermann Hesse. And by recently I mean in May. It was a good read. It is a narration by its main character, Emil Sinclair, who leaves his church-going family on an odyssey of soul-searching. He recognizes a darker, uncertain side to life that coexists with the brighter, definitive, Christian viewpoint, a life not discussed at home or in his studies at school, and it consumes him and draws him out of traditional dogma. With the help of a classmate and friend, Max Demian, he soon feels himself forever branded as was Cane, the murderous son of Adam, and he learns to question everything. Question the church and its teachers. Question the Bible and its Genesis, man's existence and the existence of God. He abandons all these closely-held beliefs in his philosophical quest in exchange for his own internal and intrinsic understandings. He later becomes a believer in Gnosticism and the god Abraxas, the god that is good and evil, God and Satan combined into one. The symbolic words are repeated in the book:

The bird struggles out of the egg. The egg is the world. Whoever wants to be born, must first destroy a world. The bird flies to God. That God's name is Abraxas.

Pretty deep, noncanonical stuff. And then at the end, something suprising yet somewhat expected happened that left me with a very satisfying and homoerotic culmination. It was as if it was a sub-theme so subliminal I had not yet picked up on it until the very end, but when it happened and it brought a huge smile to face that made me realize I'd been waiting and hoping for it all along. Surely in a pre-WWI German novel the main characters could not be gay! Emil Sinclair had longed for the company of two women throughout the novel, but at the end the two boys -- ... well, I don't want to give it away if you haven't read. =)

This essay I read snippets of offers an explanation to the homosexual themes in both Demian and Steppenwolf as well as carefully-worded extrapolations on how the these novels may have served as outlets of an autobigraphical nature for Hermann Hesse himself.

Gay Old Politicians

Once again, and all too soon, I have to ask: What is up with all these ultra conservative, right-wing, anti-gay Republican politicians getting caught with their pants down and some other guy between his legs?

I don't know if I even talked about Larry Craig before, because I was just kind of waiting for it to all unfold. (And I can't believe they even let him in the Capitol anymore. My God, where does he take a dump nowadays??) But this new guy, Richard Curtis, a southwest-Washington congressman, has a steamy story that's too hot not to touch! This guy is an old, married Republican from the Northwest. He's voted three times that I know of against my peeps: against an anti-discrimination bill, against civil unions for gays, and against a hate crimes bill. On a side note, what kind of human being votes against a hate crimes bill?? Way to kick 'em while they're down.

Anyway, so the story is a sordid one indeed. According to the police report, reported apon here and here, Curtis provided to the Spokane Police Dept., he was in a porn shop where he met 26-year-old Cody Castagna who he later had sex with at a downtown hotel. He says he was dressed in women's clothing, red stockings, and sequined lingerie. Apparently Cody has posed for some gay porn and is known in local circles as "Stallion." He does look kinda hot, too, so that helps the believability of the story along.

Now here's where the fact and fiction starts to get really blurry. Here's what I think happened. Curtis didn't have all the $1000 Cody wanted for sex (doing porn makes your price go up apparently), so Cody took his wallet as collateral. Then while Curtis went and told police the whole story and got the rest of the money, Cody found out that this guy was actually an anti-gay, closeted Republican congressman. That's when the story busted out into the press from both ends. Curtis said he was being extorted, and Cody got his well-earned money and a lawyer.

Last I heard, no one was actually charged with anything yet, although Curtis has resigned from the state house of representatives, and he told the press he wasn't gay and didn't have sex with "a guy." Bullshit. And one last thing: I heard the most fucked up logic from another conservative on the Lou Dobbs show the other night. He said that Curtis and Craig were not hypocrites because they feel their behavior is wrong even though they continue to do it. So they say they're straight, but they still hook up with guys? I hate to be Captain Obvious here, but that is what being a hypocrite IS !!

Nightmare on Chernobyl St.

A friend of mine showed me this website, http://www.janikarvonen.com/digicam/10-12.6.2005_Ukraine/. Okay, tourists are now going into the towns of Chernobyl and Pripyat in the Ukraine, site of the world's worst nuclear reactor meltdown in history in 1986 and the cause of some 58 deaths (though accounts vary) and source radiation exposure for people throughout Europe.

These are the pictures of those morbid tourists. It looks just like a horror movie, like Resident Evil or something. You've got some just horrifying event that happened in this little power plant town one day that kills a bunch of people, contaminates everything you breathe, touch, and taste with a radioactive fission particles, and causes thousands to flee in fear. The place is abandoned, in ruin, and left to decay (so to speak). There's overgrown grass and trees, abandoned, weathered buildings with crumbling bricks and glass strewn about. They have hotels...



and classrooms...



and a theatre...



and in one of the baby's cribs lies this eerie thing...



*shivers*

LOLCats

Lolcats are awesome. And here's a website FULL of them!

ICanHasCheezburger.com

Like FuKing.net they even have a "Random" button to take you to some random kitty in personifying circumstances.

Some favorites:

Don't you hate that?

That shit happens to me, too! I hate it! Not the sneezing, the other thing. Just ask Stevie!

Sing it, Gurl!!

A girl at work today was watching this on YouTube today and it brought up some early gay memories for me. *blush*

***** FLASHBACK to 1994 *****

I had this song on tape and I sang to it several occassions I'm certain of it. *blush* And, NO, Stevie, I didn't sing into the mirror or anything .....okay, maybe into a toothbrush or something, but that still doesn't support your drag queen in training theory you're already conjuring up. =) But I did sing to it .... and maybe an occassional hand-wavie thing when doing arpeggios, BUT THAT WAS IT!! I was a very confused 13-year-old boy. Leave me alone. =)

Incidentally, while this song was extremely popular a girl at my brother's graduation (class of '94) sang it absolutely beautifully....you know, where you have to applaud in the middle of it it's so good like with Mariah singing it here.


YouTube Link to Mariah Carey's song "Hero"

Ummmm.....yeaaaaaa

Thanks to Steve's email for alerting me to a small problem:

Richard,
You've turned off comments on your blog? How will Greg and I say "hi"?
Cheers,
Steve

Indeed, in my finagling with the comment settings the other day, I have inadvertently turned commenting off somehow. The setting that is supposed to allow it again does not appear to be working for me tonight. And seeing as how I just spent my free hour for the year working overtime, I'm just gonna say fuck it and fix it later. I'll just pretend Greg has now commented "Hi." =)

Bye Bye TV-Links

Apparently, I'm just now catching wind of this one. Gawd! I'm SOOO 15 days ago! It's been a long time since I've gone to the site, but now it is no more. The website previously addressed http://www.tv-links.co.uk/ has been removed and its 26-year-old webmaster arrested by Glouchestershire Police in their silly, phallic hats as so factually described in the Guardian's 10-19-2007 article. Apparently the kid didn't actually create the site's content by illegally dubbing the movies or tv-shows but rather he provided links, hence the name, to places where the content had already been uploaded onto the internet somewhere, and he neatly organized them all together in one page. Sounds somewhat innocent to me. They should really be going after all those who actually recorded and/or posted the content, right? Of course not, that's too difficult. So under the same logic, if I were to post a link to even one internet address where some copywrited material is posted, I could be arrested for facilitating copywrite infringement. Geesh! You know how many YouTube videos are contantly deleted because they're copywrited materials and how many people pass those links around to everyone?? And what about all those people who have linked to TV-Links? Aren't they also guilty of indirectly facilitating the yadda yadda yadda...

This arrest is just the first. There are others out there, but I dare not link to them for fear of the Spanish Inquisition.

The Revolution will not be COPYWRITED!!!

Feast of the Ass!!

Who says you have to wait until the official date of January 14th? You can celebrate the Feast of the Ass any time of the year! The tradition feast includes a tossed salad, rump roast, and ... I forget.

You see, it's a Chrisitan tradition that goes back to the medieval France, celebrating the donkey's trek from Bethleham to Egypt when Jesus was just a wee lad ... that and other ass-related occassions ... none of which come to mind..... *ahem* ....

.... hmmm, I wonder if the Catholics celebrate this one ...



... with the altar boys ....



... in the confessional booth ....


OKAY! I'll stop! Geez! Ruin my fun! =)
