Straight boys would go gay for him...

And now, he's coming out on OUR side!

Brad Pitt, the loveably masculine man for whom at least two straight men I've talked to said they would go gay, has announced he donated $100,000 to fight California's Proposition 8 in November, a measure that, if it receives a simple majority vote, would reverse the state's supreme court decision to allow gays to marry in state.

Thanks Brad! We appreciate every penny, AND yours and Angelina's votes in November!

Fantastic Contraption

My roomie showed me a new game on the interwebs, similar to Magic Pen, but a little different. It's called...

Fantastic Contraption


Making tank treds seems to do the trick nicely on many of the levels. I've even figured out how to devise a coveyer belt and a cannon... but some people seem to be quite devoted to their tanks...

Recent Reels

Yet another addition. .... You know, it feels like I've seen more in just two months.

Seen in Theatres

Not a damn thing. I haven't been out the movies in a while... not since Wall-E and "Eeeeeeeeva!"

Recent Rentals

American Beauty - If you haven't seen this, let me just say Kevin Spacey plays a pothead. There, now you have to see it.

Breach - Ryan Phillipe is such a hottie in this movie... except for that irritating buldge in his forehead that's so pronounced in this movie. What's up with that?? Anyway, this was a great show, I thought. I read all about Robert Hannsen on the interwebs when it was over. =)

Hostage - Bruce Willis, hostage negotiator. What else can I say? It was decent. Oh, and what's up with the crazy, dark kid? They have him identified on the Wikipedia entry for the show as something I didn't ever see in the movie.

The Fountain - I totally forgot to trip balls when I watched it, so I was a bit out of the loop. Still, it was a good movie....weird, but good. Doesn't hold much of a candle to Pi but maybe Requim, IMHO.

Alexander: The Theatrical Cut - Gotta get the theatrical's cut. I fear you might miss out on Colin Farrell's fine ass and genitals if you don't! Good movie, though I'm sure it's riddled with historical inaccuries as most historical movies are, but I have to admit I'm a bit too ignorant on the subject to notice... or care -- sometimes you have to just acquisce to the fact that it's a movie not a documentary.

Eragon - Two cute boys wrestling in hay was the best part of this movie. .... I can't remember if they were shirtless or not. I Googled their names for shirtless pics, LOL. ... No, they were shirtless, I just decided. ... Wait, what was this show about? Something about a dragon or something.

Crash - Mmmm, Ryan Phillipe...again. It's like I'm in a trance when he's on the screen, LOL. Anyway, this was a good movie, not because it made you feel all warm 'n' fuzzy, but because it's the ugly truth about prejudice.

Children of Men - This was a great one! I love futuristic, dystopian movies, this taught me. I had to watch it again to pick up on those clues for which I didn't yet know I should be looking.

Weeds (Season 1) - I know Season 4 is airing now, and I'm behind, but I've had a few friends tell me I should see this now, so I'm starting from the beginning. So far, I've seen just season one. (Just finished actually.) Somebody tell me: what the hell happened to the cute gay boy from the beginning episode?? I want him back! At least we have the adorably cute Hunter Parrish playing Silas. (HOT Screencaps here, LOL) P.S. Please don't spoil anything for me. =)

GLBT Movies

Garçon stupide - I'm still not sure what to make of this movie. It's about a guy with a wannabe girlfriend who's also a gay hustler and wannabe photographer. It's in French with English subtitles.

Zerophilia - Very unique movie, but good.... and the main character is cute, too!

Very Natural Thing - 1973 gay flick about a gay teacher and his love life. Kinda meh.

Denied - A small town high school football star turns out to be gay, he finds out, when moves in with his sexually indecisive fuck buddy. This shows what happens when the football jock finds out that he's gay and what he does about it.

I hope this is true

Check this video out and see for yourself.

If this were true then that would mean that their shinning new lipstick-wearing sidekick has serious family issues where they can't discuss things as adults with each other much less with the media, instead, they decided to make Levi their cover story.

I dont' know how genuine a news story is if it's coming from BlackBottom.com, LOL. What the hell kinda name is that??

Bristol's boyfriend is kinda hot though, don't you think?

Hurricane Ike hits Galveston & Houston

Last night at about 2:10am, Hurricane Ike made landfall at Galveston, Texas and passed over Houston. (Actually the eye wall was 60 miles across, so it made landfall over a larger area that just the island.)

Actually, I read a funny note on the Weather Channel about the mandatory evacuations:

The police chief asked one stubborn couple to write their names and Social Security numbers on their forearms in black magic marker "in case something bad were to happen." They soon changed their minds.

Though the island of Galveston is protected by a 17-foot-high seawall, it still flooded out the island in the storm surge, and glass was still falling from skyscrapers to downtown Houston streets this morning.

After all this, I can't help but think how much worse it could have all been. It almost seems like Rita was worse, but that was because my own hometown of Beaumont took a direct hit. I think if it had been a slower moving hurricane or a little bit stronger, or if it had a higher storm surge that things would have turned out much worse for the country's 4th largest city. I still have to call my family up north of Houston to find out if they got any damage from the storm.

And wouldn't you know it -- Last night everyone here in Charlotte RUSHED out and bought up all the gas in the area in a mad panic before the impending shortage or something. Yea, they shutdown a number of refineries in the Houston area, but those refineries aren't very prone to wind damage or power outages. The one thing that would cause serious damage to them is flooding, so I don't think that the price in gas is going to spike (with good reason). This is to say, the price could very well spike with for no good reason at all .... which, isn't that why the price always spikes?

Nom Nom Nom

In Through the Out Door

I took the scenic route one day, and wound up behind Charlotte Catholic, a local crazy school for reason-underdeveloped adolescents. The road soon dead-ended, so I needed to turn around....

and then I saw this....

How fucking great is that? And it couldn't be in a better location, hehehehe.

New Place

I felt behooved to take and post pictures of the new place due to the persistent nagging of one particular Canadian friend, and it's been sooo embarrasingly long since the last post, I felt I had to post some pics.

So this is the new pad. I just realized today that I haven't bought gas since before I moved, which was about 3 weeks ago, which is amazing, since I'm so used to buying gas every week and watching that needle constantly. I need to drive up and get some of mom's food, though. No couch yet, but there's a PS3, PS2, and an XBox360 (not pictured). =)

This is the desk that took 6 hours and a trip to Home Depot to put together.

This is my room, probably as clean as it has ever been. The cabinet in the middle is a bookshelf and CD/DVD tower me and my dad designed and built. The room's got its own bathroom on the right. Yay.

It's me, a guy from work, and his two kitties. They eat and poop. What more can I say. The gray one is older and calmer. The little one is a lil crazy sometimes.
