Because acne cruelly attacked me in my teens and still flares up on occasion even now, my poor face has been left scarred by all those years of nasty zits and crap. UGH! I hate it. Frankly, most people tell me it doesn't really look that bad, but I still find it unsightly and annoying. My goal is to get better-looking with age, and this has certainly happened and I think I have the incredible potential of improving even further! THAT'SRIGHT! So, sometime very soon I am willing to shell out a good chunk of cash to get a good chemical peel or even laser resurfacing! Why not right?! A good investment to just plain look and feel good about oneself is not a crime. And doggone it, I'm in Hollywood here! I just wanna look like a movie star okay? AHAHAHAH! Ihave but one shell in this lifetime! Might as well make it look as best possible. Darn it, takes work though to look good. And money! If anyone knows of a good topical skin product that would maybe be cheaper than going to the clinic, let me know!
Have any of you ever heard of Michael Savage? He's this really annoying obnoxious radio talk-show host that loves to scream on the air and gets angry over almost everything! He's quite hateful and horrible, but I used to like listening to him quite a bit because I used to laugh out loud at his stupid ass rants and temper tantrums! IT CERTAINLY WASN'T BORING WITH THIS GUY! He hates gays, liberals, illegals, and anyone else he can verbally destroy and now comes the news that Britain has banned Michael from even setting foot on their territory! WOW! I mean, Michael is quite an asshole creep mind you, but to ban him from the U.K?! That's kind of retarded! Free speech man! They have lots of immigrants without their proper paperwork there so why this drastic move? Odd really. The fascinating audio report on this as Michael goes off is here. Oh yeah, it's the British Home Secretary Jacqui Smith who has issued this ban against him. I wonder what Howard Stern would think of this. LOL!
Many thanks to my good bud Truman for giving me all this cool Pet Shop Boys music as of late. Love it! Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe; that awesome English gay duo with those catchy electronica beats! A cool must-see medley of their hits:
I had a nice weekend. How was yours? My last post got lots of attention! I love a good blockbuster blog entry! Thank YOU! Now on to some of your blogs, 'cause I'm behind again!
I was in WestHollywood on Friday night with my good bud Max Powers. It's the world-famousgayest area of Los Angeles as many of you already know. I rarely go there, and it was neat to see how much of it has been transformed! New stores, shops, and clubs within that little strip on Santa Monica Blvd. Looks very nice. You would barely even know that we're in economic tough times going there. The hot muscled attitute-ridden boys were out, barely giving mere mortals like me the time of day, but I ran into lots of old friends and some new ones as well. It was FUN! YEAH! I HAD FUN, enjoying the massive circus! And I wasn't even drunk like many of them, on cocaine, crystal meth, or ecstasy! Heck, I wasn't even on pot either! IMAGINE THAT! I have to remind myself often of how good it can all be, even when completely sober.
I know Bono gets all the attention for being the good-looking spiritual political save-the-world ambassador amazing lead singer of U2, but does anyone ever notice the drummer for that band, the very handsome Larry Mullen? I guess Larry's just content being quiet, but he is so hot, even now that he's in his late 40s. Larry Mullen Jr. Cute! Sexy I suppose. Agree? Or it is just my weird taste? A fine drummer too, to compliment the band's unique sound given to us by The Edge and that unmistakable guitar. By the way, did I mention I'm loving U2's latest album? Yes, I think I have. Larry Mullen! LARRY! So very Irish, and here's hoping I get ta see ya on stage later this year banging those drums at the Rose Bowl!
This Allison Iraheta girl on American Idol has had an extraordinary run, and is one of the last 4 remaining talents. I really hope this young sassy thing goes all the way, because not only do I think Allison is good, but also because she has roots based in El Salvador, that small Central American nation that has become a real cesspool of poverty and crime in the last few years, no thanks to a bloody civil war throughout most of the 1980's which messed up the beautiful place. Because of all the negative press the country receives, I am so very proud of this young woman going so far here as an American-born kid like myself. This is truly special, and I am rooting for her all the way, not just because she is one of my very own, but because we need awesome people like Allison to finally give El Salvador a good name! The place is like a modern-day Sicily, run by a mafia of really scary thugs! EEK! Go Allison! Sing girl! SING TO THE TOP! Our women are not just housekeepers like Rosario on Will & Grace, although that shit was actually funny as seen in this clip! 17 year-old Allison! I mean, so young! So very young...
Check out my very very short slideshow starring a bit of me and my special puppy friend Patrick spending time yesterday Sunday afternoon:
It's Friday you incorrigible barbarians! WOOHOO! And May already! ¡Increíble!
I don't know what tha hell to even talk about. Thanks again to all who visit and most especially to those who comment! Oh, I know what to discuss; my good friends/co-workers and I were just talking about this earlier! SEX! YEAH! Everyone always loves talking about it, but how many actually do IT right?! LOLOL! Well, here's the deal. As a male, the biological need to have sex is truly great. This of course, is due to nature/species survival instincts and the way we were designed. We're super horny disgusting animals in all honesty, and women know this fully well. When we're teenagers, we discover masturbation, and it becomes a real necessity and part of life to release one's energy ya know? YES, THE SPOOGE MUST COME OUT OR ELSE I SHALL DIE! I have noticed though that as I have gotten older, this need to ejaculate is not so great anymore. Don't get me wrong, I love rolling my eyes into the back of my head and feeling my toes curl with the BIG O, but it's not so much a priority anymore as it is to enjoy a nice hot time with someone and actually help get THEM off. Make sense? Sometimes I feel as though too many men are still obsessed with a quickie, they only wanna cum and could care less about having an amazing sexual experience with someone that transcends time and space. WHOA! AHAHAHAHAH! Besides, if I wanna just let my seed spill, I can do it myself in less than two minutes. Now that you know the extent of my passion and how much fun I love to have in bed, feel free to email me! HEEHEE! Saving it (and not for 40 days of Lent either), is actually kind of hot and worth it. Know what I mean Earl?
This Hugh Jackman is so handsome. And so charming! I dunno man, he's married and all with two adopted kids I believe, but I wonder. TRULY WONDER. But then again, gay rumours have been swirling around our superstar for quite some time. Oh whatever. I like him. He looks good on camera and is very charming; he was on Howard Stern yesterday. I think of Hugh not in a nasty sexual way, but as in someone worth marrying. The guy is a total catch. He can sing and dance too; been on Broadway and he hosted a really cool Oscars show back in February. And there's something so sexy about that Aussie accent ya know? Yeah, Australia is really fascinating. And so f**king far. MY GOD. How long is that flight? 16 hours?! UGH! AND Y'ALL KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE FLYING! Imma have to really get stoned the day I visit Oz. Oh yeah, you read that right suckas. Despite my strange travel anxieties, I will visit Australia some day. The men there are to bloody die for and I cannot pass up the opportunity to meet some of them! And I hear that Sydney and Melbourne and crap are beautiful and clean and friendly and loaded with hot homos and there's funny little aminals everywhere and come to think of it, my father used to dream about going to Australia all the freakin' time when he was alive, but never got the chance. Aw. My dear old dysfunctional Dad. I miss that fool sometimes, even though he could be such a jerk.
Well! So much for having writer's block earlier! I found my muse, and it is the fact that the weekend is here. So long and have a good one!
I leave you with something truly hilarious. Well, at least to me it is. Thanks to C.Z. for the heads up. Madonna and her daughter Lourdes! PRICELESS:
A happy Wednesday to ya! Or just try and fake smile like I do.
I was born and raised here in Los Angeles (WILL I EVER LEAVE THIS CESSPOOL GOD), and while it is a pretty cool big city, it gets on mee last nerve from time to time. Besides the horrible traffic and smog, we have some real assholes and beatches here! Looks are everything in this city, especially in the gay community! You have to dress nice, work out regularly, and tan! These are all things I just don't do! I mean, I'm already naturally devastatingly handsome thanks to my amazing genes (stop laughing) but I most certainly do not keep up with fashion, nor am I working out regularly, THE WAY I SHOULD BE AND STARTED DOING SO WELL BACK IN MARCH YOU LAZY HEATHEN! And I certainly don't tan! I mean, I hate the sun! HATE IT! It's nice to have our nearest brightest star to help our plants grow and shit, but I mean, having to be out in it all freakin' day drives me nuts! Not having perfect skin makes me very self-conscious out there! No sir, I don't like it! I know, I know, I'm such a weirdo, but it's how I roll okay? I look better at night anyway. LOLOL! Under dim lights, or out cruising the streets whilst driving in my car. Maybe this is why I'm such a night owl! I just look better in the dark! It's true! While at the Renaissance Faire on Saturday, I was irked at these dudes that looked amazing out in the sun, with perfect skin and tans! ARGH! Here I was, some pasty white skinny spic taking pictures! BOOHOO! I guess I can change this right, and look better if I really wanted to, but at least I hope I'll avoid skin cancer as I stay as white as paper.
Anyway, no one cares about my whining, and I can write all day long till the pigs give us the flu...OH WAIT, THAT HAS HAPPENED! Listen, I saw these two really good films, so lemme give ya the quick WAT movie reviews. This Kate Winslet is such a whore! She loves being naked on camera, and The Reader is no exception. Good film, but so heartbreaking! Excellent acting all-around! The first half is almost purely pornographic! Made even a gay slut like me blush! I love Kate though. LOVE THAT PUTA. And the second movie to recommend is Torremolinos 73, an absolutely wild wacky hardcore sexathon movie from España with lots of Scandanavian actors in the mix! OH MY GOODNESS! HILARIOUS AT TIMES! These Spaniards and Europeans in general are so open-minded, so free, so unafraid to explore it all in their movies, which is why I love foreign films so.
Okay, gotta run. Another exciting riveting fun-filled day at work awaits! YIPEE!
The Beatles. I know, you're sick of me mentioning them, but I can't help it if they altered the course of history, if they are the greatest thing to ever happen to popular modern music! Lovely to see the boys back from a long holiday as they were about to go into the recording studio to give us the masterful Sgt. Pepper album. 1967... so very very long ago:
Despite the fact she lived a pretty long awesome life, I'm still sad to hear of the passing of Bea Arthur. She was apparently battling cancer. She was 86 years old. That's two Golden Girls now gone. Maude was a little bit before my time, but I most certainly grew up watching The Golden Girls, and it was a great show that taught me a lot about life as I entered my adolescence. I'll never forget Bea's immortal character of Dorothy Zbornak, the smart forceful angry manly divorced gal from Brooklyn dealing with her smart ass mother from Sicily and her two roommates in Miami. With tons of Broadway theater credits, and other fine performances on film, Bea will most certainly be remembered for her amazing TV roles, which will keep her alive for generations to come. Thank you Bea, and God bless ya. You were a true gift to comedy.
Pig/swine flu?! Is the media blowing this all out of proportion?! Or is this really something to worry about? Mexico City is one oddball place now, as hundreds walk around with masks and many public events have been canceled. Cases have been reported in the United States, and possibly other countries . I dunno man, here comes the cynic within me talking again and I'm wondering if this isn't some engineered disease to kill off people or scare them into submission/control. We shall wait and see. Quite alarming though, regardless of what's going on here.
Where is everybody this week?! Job gotcha busy? Bills piling up? Traveling 'round the world? Family issues? I hope you do not ignore or miss my last post. I wrote it just for you. YEAH! YOU MY DARLING! Not enough comments from ye lately to satiate my thirst for attention!
I finally paidoff that awful credit card bill. Geez, ya miss one or two payments and those finance charges add up. Bunch of crooks. Thieves! CRIMINALS! I HATE YOUUUUUUUUUUUU!!! No, really, I do hate them. Lemme tells ya man, I'm not dirt poor, but I'm certainly just another working stiff who struggles like most people in this country. And the bills just never stop. Once I feel good that everything has been seemingly been paid off, a new month arrives to shatter that illusion. It's a sick twisted vicious cycle, and frankly it's very sad. So as to not be homeless and to have just a few little comforts here and there, I have no choice but to play this stupid game. I'm not trying to be a victim here mind you, but it makes me very depressed sometimes to know this reality of living. Life takes money! And the one and only credit card I have ever owned can kiss my butt and die! Yeah, I'm never using it again for as long as I can help it! I've had it with them. So my balance is now a big fat ZERO and I am planning to keep it that way! It'll only be my debit card from now on, which means I'll only spend the money I truly have. This is something most Americans had not done before, which is why so many have terrible credit card debt, but I totally understand how one can fall into this trap. BLOODY ASSHOLES THESE BIG CORPORATIONS! No wonder our economy is in such turmoil.
I was doing that Google Maps street viewfunction the other day online, and it is quite impressive to be able to see the Eiffel Tower in such a stunning realistic 360-degree virtual way! THAT IS REALLY REALLY NEAT MAN! It saves me money on traveling I guess, but it only makes me want to go to these places even more. I also looked up the world famous El Pradoart museum in Madrid, and it was so beautiful! Oh Spain! I cannot die without stepping on actual Spanish soil someday; land where some of my tainted blood comes from! HEE! All I need is time and most importantly, dinero. WELL DUH! I can't charge it to any credit card though, HAHAHAHAA! I really have to renew my passport sometime in the near future, but let's face it, I have so much domestic travel to accomplish as well. I've never seen New York City, Chicago, Miami, or seen the beauty that is Kansas. LOLOLOL! So many men awaiting my arrival across this great land, across this awesome planet! I'm cumming boys! Ya know, I often dream big, and that's okay. At least it's free man. Oh well. The weather in L.A. is generally pretty good and we got neat places here, but the people here can be quite rude, stuck-up, and just not very nice. Am I wrong to assume people are friendlier in other cities/places? I want to find out for myself, by traveling! I hate planes though. UGH! They're crowded, cramped, and they fly! EEK!
I wish this Beyoncé woman would disappear! Not only is she a mediocre pop star, but she's not that good an actress to be honest. She's been promoted/marketed very efficiently by her daddy I believe, but I find her a bit annoying. Like Diana Ross who left the two other Supremes in the dust, Beyoncé has also overshadowed her two former group mates from Destiny's Child. Howard Stern even played a clip of her singing live, and she just plain sounds horrible without studio magic! SHUT UP SASHA FIERCE! According to this scathing articlesent to me by my good friend, bitch is a thief too! And now she's in this super retarded Obsessedmovie; the billboards for it bombard me everywhere I drive in this city! We've seen this kind of movie before! Remember Swimfan?! Starring that hottie Jessie Bradford! THAT WAS QUALITY! LOLOL!
Or better yet, I give you the best movie of its kind ever made! I used to watch this movie a lot; wore out my videotape copy almost! A bit of a retarded ending, but still effective:
My two favourite Britney concert moments! The grand entrance of the Brit here. And the very cool Freakshow/Get Naked set.
A mini heat wave here in L.A. these past two days or so. Makes for some dreadful afternoons, but I love the nightlife, I like to boogie! Yeah, nights become nice and cool and full of sexual lasciviousness, and people just wanna go out more, which was the case at the karaoke bar Monday night. The crowds had been pitifully small the last few weeks that it has been moved toits new home, but on Monday it was pretty packed dude! Everyone came out, and it was good to see some old friends from the past; had some catching up to do. I could only sing two songs though, because the rotation was so long. Yeah, and this bar attracts some oddball people: trannies, candidates fit for the nursing home, and some lesbos here and there. Two in particular kept leaving their bar stools with their drinks in hand and coming back to them telling us they were claimed, until I'd finally had it after two times of this petty shit, and asked politely but firmly, "Can we take these or are they still YOURS?!" I don't believe in hitting anybody, but I will sock one of these butch bitch dykes if I'm ever attacked physically. I prefer my lesbos to be lipsticky anyway, just like I likemis hombresto be macho. Ya know?
Two hard movies to sit through for very different reasons, but still worth seeing! Does that make sense?!The Bucket Listis well-acted, and I guess that's to be expected with acting powerhouses Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson in the main roles, but this is one heavy sad depressing movie! UGH! Still, it has some funny witty moments, and is quite touching really, but you all must obviously know that its central theme is death. Yes, that wonderful moment where the lights go out on all of us for good. PHOOEY! I don't know why I even cling onto life this way sometimes, because so much of this dimension is frustrating, but it's the inner human instinct to want to live/survive and never give up that keeps me and most of us going. Weird how that works. The other film review I have for y'all isAtonement. My God Beavis! This film is quite a snoozefest at times in the way it is paced, but the last 20 minutes or so are very satisfying and bring the film to a tremendously interesting conclusion! How they did this I know not, but I ended up liking the bloody picture and putting all the earlier boring puzzles nicely together! Keira Knightley is sexy classy gorgeous and quickly becoming one of my favorite actresses, and James McAvoy is one of those under appreciated, but consistent actors, and pretty easy on the eyes too I believe.
A fine articlehere on that now overexposed never-been-kissed cat lady with the nice voice who will sell millions of albums now.
McCartney played CoachellaFriday night, and they said he was quite good and gave them a two-hour and change show! SEE BRITNEY AND COLDPLAY?! LOLOL! My beloved is excited because The Beatles: Rock Band game is due in September, and it looks pretty freakin' cool so far, if the previews and huge hype/anticipation are to be believed. Footage here of Sir Paul playing the festival and giving the crowd a preview of the upcoming video game phenomenon.
Speaking of Sir Paul McCartney, I can't help but be slightly addicted to some of these 70 or so video clips made by this genius person on YouTube that claim our current Paul is FAUL, the replacement phony Paul McCartney put in to make up for the original killed-in-a-car-crash Paul in 1966. If you don't know what I am talking about, I've mentioned it before, but some of this interesting fascinating ridiculous exaggerated urban legend is explained here. Clips like this give me the chills; quite creepy, effectively produced/edited in my opinion, as if I'm watching something David Lynch directed. MASTERFULLY MESMERIZING AND A MUST-SEE:
Well, I had a cool decent view yet again at the venue. YEEHA! Damn this new generation of artists. Why do they insist on only doing 90 minute shows?! Coldplay did the same thing, even with plenty of material! Old timers like McCartney, Elton, and Madonna gave me two hours or more! YEESH! Come on! Britney missed some really good tracks she could have done too! Oh well, I had lots of fun anyway. Without further ado, watch this slideshow and the witty headlines brought to you by yours truly:
At about 3:30a.m. early Thursday morning, I was insanely checking out Ticketmaster for possible seats to one of four Britney shows here in the L.A./Anaheim area this weekend and I think I lucked out! I wasn't willing to pay $150 bucks or more to be that close to our white trash pop star, so I found two decent seats at the Honda Center in Anaheim for dirt cheap practically! I was at the Honda Center twice last year, and it really is a great venue, big yet compact enough to enjoy a concert from anywhere, even from the upper terrace area. Staples Center in Downtown Los Angeles is much closer to my home, but last night and tonight's shows fell on school nights, and I'd much rather deal with traffic and all that crap on my lazy day Sunday! SO YEAH! I'm going to see BRITNAY this Sunday! LOLOLOL! Am I not the biggest loser?! Must I renounce my music lover's card now for even going to see such vapidness live? OH I DON'T GIVE A F*CK! I love her last two albums, and I'm gonna have fun! SO THERE! Rumor has it Britney is now having an affair with this dancer on her tour. OOOO LA LA!
Speaking of chocolate-covered autistic gay male stripper clowns wearing penny loafers while stuck in heavy traffic on the 405, you all know who John Mayer is right? He's that singer/songwriter who was recently dating Jennifer Aniston; she seems as boring as waiting for white out to dry on paper. Well, last I read or whatever, John and Jen broke up, due to John's heavy partying and manwhoring ways. John is really cute in my book, except when he lets his hair grow hippie long. The point of me carrying on about Mayer is that it is becoming increasingly apparent that he not only likes sex with girls, but he probably has a real keen interest in boys as well! Now that's totally cool with me of course! YEEHA I SAY! It is 2009 after all right? Mayer is way too gay friendly, makes constant homo jokes about himself, and has even been photographed holding hands with dudes! UM...OKAY THEN JOHN! WHAT IS GOING ON HERE PAPI?! Cum clean will ya? Is Jen really a bore, or is she just sick of you not being able to keep your big paynis in yer pants for both genders? ¡Este rumor me está volviendo loco! HOOHOOHAHA!
This past Tuesday, a special event in Hollywood: the late George Harrison got his own solo star on the Walk of Fame! Yeah man, George was not only great as a Beatle, but he also put out lots of good music on his own so it's only right to honor this legend! His widow Olivia and son Dhani attended. Olivia is likethe coolest Beatle wife alive man. I love her. She's of Mexican background you know! And Dhani is a carbon copy of his father in the looks department. It's almost eerie. And Tom Petty and Tom Hanks, and Eric Idle showed up, but the big awesome surprise was Sir Paul McCartney was there too! WHOA! And I had to come to work and missed out on all that?! DAYAM! Well, Bill my fellow blogger went, as you can see inthese pics he took. That's good stuff! GOOD GOOD STUFF!
Okay then. Have a terrific weekend everyone! A cool song by George from the 80s. Weird, fab, and wonderful! Look for Ringo and Elton John cameos:
I thank you my most loyal fans for always coming to visit this blog and enjoying it so. I get at least one huge bag of fan mail a day delivered to my home by a very exhausted hot model-looking mailman! And I just can't keep up with my email inbox! Ahem. Just agree with me okay? You hard-to-convince doubters! Ye people of little faith! Okay. Someone please explain to me what tha f*ck is going on off the waters of Somalia! PIRATES?!!Can you bloody believe it! In this modern day and age! Astounding!Blackbeardlives! Captain Morgan is not just an alcoholic drink! ARGEE MY ARRRR! PIRACY IS ALIVE AND WELL IN THE 20th CENTURY MATEY! AHOY! Apparently these Somalis have set up quite an effective network there of hijacking ships and demanding ransom for the crew or cargo aboard these vessels. Mind you, the waters off of Somalia are pretty strategic from what I am learning here. Let's take a look at this map here. Yep, the Persian Gulf is near here as are many oil fields and the Suez Canal is also within a reasonable distance. WOW. Why didn't I think of this?! Damn, these Somaliniatians are quite smart! To revive such an ancient profession and make it to the front page of newspapers (<---what are those again?) in our modern era is quite a feat! Of course, that other more ancient profession: prostitution, still has everyone else beat when it comes to making headlines!
Ya know, the Golden Age of Piracy was during the time España held all those colonies from Mexico to Argentina, especiallyin the Caribbean, because there was all that gold/silver on board Spanish ships sailing on dem waters back to Spain. Pirates were usually English, Dutch, or French, and in many cases were even sanctioned or funded by those very countries' kings/queens, which were big rivals of Espain and hated her guts for being so damn rich and powerful. Kind of like what's happening to the U.S. off the waters of Somalia nowadays or any other country with valuable cargo! Classic pirates were not known then for their hygiene or literacy skills. They were quite gross, uneducated, and drunken bastards with really bad scurvy! EEK! SCURVY! Happened to them because of the poor diet and all those months at sea. What a shitty life man! Yeah, eat yer Vitamin C and you'll never have to worry about scurvy. Okay? The mythic bearded, one eye-patched, peg-legged bloke we all know through books, TV, film, andthat ride at Disneylandis pretty much what they used to look like. I'm assuming that the modern day Somali pirates are just as ugly and unkempt too. LOL! Hey, I once had to do a term paper for a Spanish literature class on classic piracy in college! In FREAKIN' SPANISH! Yeah, I got a good grade on it too! Now where did I put that little masterpiece of mine?!
The Obamas have their puppy dog! AW! BO is his name! This is too much. All this White House doggy cuteness is going to drive me mad! OH MY GOD! Even the dog is black! LOLOL! Black is in! Somali pirates are pretty dark too. AHAHA! Just saying. Love doggy's white bib and socks!
Yeah, me liking this new U2 album a lot; the pride and joy of Ireland are back in the spotlight. I hope my good bud Johnny and I are able to go see them live later this year, for it's going to be quite possibly, the greatest tour by a band ever:
I guess I like Seth Rogen, but is there a movie he's not in as of late?! Talk about overexposure man! Yeah, I finally watched Auntie Mame, and I enjoyed the raunchy/racy humor. I had no idea they could be this daring in 1958! Rosalind Russell was really good in the movie, and at times I thought I was actually watching Joan Crawford. Auntie Mame was a very feisty, vivacious, and fun gal; this woman was probably a really cool fag hag. And she had lots of money! YEEHA! Why couldn't I be blessed with an aunt or relative like this? There are people in my family with cash, but none of them are close or that nice to me. :(
So I like to update my iPod every few months, because I get tired of the same 5,500 songs ya know? LOL! So I just cleaned out some old stuff I don't really listen to anymore to make room for new sounds. I didn't like U2's last album at all: How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, even though it won tons of Grammys. I found it quite boring, except for its awesome lead track Vertigo. This new one however is quite good and catchy so far, so I am fairly pleased. I have to listen a bit more to Death Cab For Cutie's latest album, but I'm still only attached to this big hit song that was played lots on the radio. I'm giving a whirl to Silversun Pickups' latest effort and so far so good; I do remember likingthis song of theirsa lot just a few years ago. And then there's this amazing awesome pop/rock/Latin duo from Bogotá, Colombia: Aterciopelados, and anything they put out is sure to be fantastic. The lead singer has abeautiful voice and they are playing live here in L.A. this coming Wednesday! Will I be going? I dunno, since it is a school night and all, but the urge is there!
Speaking of live shows, I went to see Travis just this past Friday at the historic Wiltern Theatre; recorded highlights of the show arehere andhere! I'm liking their new album too and they were so fun live! I was loving lead singer Fran Healy's Scottish brogue. Sexy, sexy! Their opening act were The Republic Tigers and they were pretty good too; their cover of Blondie's Heart of Glass was phenomenal! Anyway, it was standing room only for those of us on the floor, and there were lots of tall white dudes blocking my view here and there, but I managed to watch most of the show decently. I took some pictures, and many of them came out blurry or too dark, due to having to stretch my arms up above all dem people's heads and the lighting. There are a few surprises here and there, so this slideshow is still worth seeing!
Well, at least it's Friday man. I'm supposed to gohere tonightto see Scottish band Travis! I hope I'm not too tired or running late with traffic and all and can make tha show! WOOHOO! They're not super big in America, but they're a good competententertaining little rock band.
There is a neat little Spanish word I'd like to teach you. I use it quite often, for it helps relieve stress and insult the one you love or your enemy all at the same time! I shouldn't even be giving away this little gem, but since Spanish is increasingly being spoken by more people all over the world, especially here in the United States, I might as well let the cat out of the bag a bit. The word is tarado. TARADO. It is pronounced this way. Got it? Ya gotta roll that "r" a little. The English equivalent is "dumbass", "retard", or "moron". So let's say you're trying to show someone how to pour milk onto a bowl of corn flakes and they spill the milk and you get frustrated at them, you'd kind of calmly but gently and with a bit of a heavy sigh would say, "Ay, tarado." However, if you're really pissed off at that bitch supervisor of yours or some dumbass illegal immigrant (LOLOL) just cut you off on the freeway, you could freely yell out with true gusto, "¡TARADA!" It obviously changes ending according to the person's gender, but you already know that; tarado for males, and tarada for females. This free useless and ridiculous public service announcement brought to you by the biggest tarado of them all: ME! Gracias.
It's a big religious week fellow Christians and Jews! Passover and all that yummy food; I wanna wish my Jewish brethren a happy holiday. I haven't had good Hebrew cuisine for quite some time, but it is good stuff, and those pastries man are to die for! MMMMmmmm! And then there's Easter weekend here for those who believe in Jesus as the Messiah. Frankly, I don't really celebrate Easter, except by sleeping in as usual and doing almost nothing like most of my Sundays. HAHA! I used to dye eggs as a kid, but that takes time and work, and the price of those dying kits has gone up since I was a child! MAMA MIA! Is it true some people actually eat those colored eggs? YUCK! I could never do it. Sounds gross. Anyway, congrats to everyone, whatever your religious beliefs, and peace and love to all, let's make love, let's spend the night together, let's get it on, and may all your precious dreams come true. Happy 2012 and kumbaya my Lord...
This is a remarkable well-written piece on Madonna's enormous extraordinary wealth. Even if you hate the bitch, even if you completely loathe the pop-singing whore, this article is a must-read! How does she do it?!
I wish ya a happy weekend! I leave you with a fabulous clip from Will & Grace, that tremendous sitcom that once was. This is very funny good stuff:
Those were some mighty good, fascinating, and sometimes hilarious comments for my last post good people. Thanks again! As usual, there is soooooo much I'd like to discuss; my overloaded brain is full, absolutely FULL and I must ejaculate it all onto this blog as much as possible for therapeutic effect!
Terremoto in Italia! Figlio di puttana! Italian is a beautiful language, very similar to español, and the world entire is following the recent earthquake and strong aftershocks in the ancient region of Abruzzo, which has devastated the area and its very ancient buildings. Man, Italy is old! LIKE, REALLY SUPER OLD, so a substantial 6.3 temblor such as this is more than enough to knock down historic brick and cement structures easily to the ground. A really wonderful storycoming out of all this tragedy was the 98 year-old little old lady who was found after some 30 hours in the rubble and she was knitting for Christ's sake! LOLOLOL! Way ta go grandma! And our little beloved pop queen legend Madonna herself, has kindly and generously donated money to the cause as well, because her grandparents were actually from that region. That's pretty cool man, and I say bravo to La Ciccone for stepping up to the plate to help some of these poor suffering people right now. As someone who has been through quite a few quakes, they can be quite scary and disconcerting, and I am most fortunate to have never lost a home or to have been miserably disrupted by one, but I often wonder (as I've stated many times before) when our big shaker is going to happen here in L.A. YIKES! They need to get those prediction methods in order once and for all, or do geologists already know when one will occur but say nothing so as to not panic the population? Regardless of when, a quake here in Los Angeles is about as certain as the sun rising tomorrow morning; the price we pay for all this beautiful weather and the privilege of living near Paris Hilton. HA!
Okay. What tha hell is going on here?! GAY MARRIAGE IS NOW LEGAL IN FOUR U.S. STATES?! Iowa's Supreme Court just recently gave in, and now Vermont, joining Connecticut and Massachusetts; the other two states allowing pink triangle weddings. WOW! What gives, what's the deal?! Are times changing so rapidly right before our very eyes as to allow this impressive wind of change to blow in so strongly? You know what this means right? THIS COUNTRY WILL BE GOING TO HELL NOW FASTER THAN ABE VIGODA TO HIS GRAVE! LOLOLOL! I'm all for this social progress, and now look at my own home state of California as one real backward expensive-to-live in shithole! I and many other homos had to deal with those awful nasty lawn signs and car bumper stickers last year banning gay marriage, and ultimately that damn Prop 8 passed, but the saving grace/good news being that it only won by a very narrow margin. OH CALIFORNIA! MY PRECIOUS HOME STATE! Get with it already! We got bigger more horrid real problems to deal with, so just let Adam and Steve get married so as to no longer fornicate and live in sin. HAHA.
I work in an office where I see babies and toddlers quite often, and sometimes I feel very sorry for them, not only because some of their parents are breeding losers, but simply for the fact that they are so small and innocent and on their way to inheriting a really insane world. Some of them might grow up to be extraordinary productive citizens mind you, but so many of them I feel are going to really truly suffer and struggle ya know? I dunno if I'm making sense, but I often squeeze their cheeks thinking, "Oh ye little one, you have no idea what's in store for you in this hard life." I do wish them the best, and here's hoping none of them become America's next most wanted serial killer!
George Michael's best days are probably behind him, but he has nothing to be ashamed about, because he's a Greek-English rainbow pride member of immense talent who has given us a tremendous song catalogue worthy of repeated and continued airplay for decades to come! I still turn up the volume every time my iPod randomly plays this finger-licking good masterpiece:
