There’s a new anti-gay marriage ad out there, and it is terrifying.
I’m not scared of the storm. I’m scared of NOM. I’m scared of their bad actors (and they are actors. See their audition reels here. Thanks, QT!). I’m scared of their bad writing (ex- “There’s a storm gathering. The clouds are dark, and the wind is strong. And I am afraid.” You are afraid of weddings? Seriously?). But most of all, I’m scared of their message of hate and discrimination.
You know what I think of when I think of NOM?
A lot less scary than some crap a dark storm and a bunch of lies (click that link and read what HRC says.), don’t you think?
Today is the 15 year anniversary of Kurt Cobain’s death. Being too young, I missed out on the whole grunge thing– but being a pop culture junkie, I appreciate it. Plus, who doesn’t love a good stick-it-to-the-man attitude? Thanks for the music, Kurt.
Sooooo my landlord said I couldn’t have a cat or dog…but he didn’t say anything about chameleons! HOW DOES IT DO THAT? (And here is where I answer my own question so that you don’t have to take the time to Google it yourself…click the link) I also would like to have multiple pairs of Ray-Bans.
Oh and guess what song is stuck in my head now?
Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon
You come and go
You come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dream
Red, gold and green
Red, gold and green…
Stick ’em out and push ’em up, ladies, because it’s National Cleavage Day 2009! In South Africa. Haha. While we don’t officially celebrate the holiday here in the good old US of A, I’m sure some exceptions can be made if it really resonates with you.
Now I know you are thinking that some pervy dude who still lives in his parent’s basement came up with this holiday so that on the one day he actually stops playing video games and watching porn, he can see some real cleavage. I mean, that’s what I thought. In fact, it’s sponsored by Wonderbra and Cosmo and some proceeds from the day are dedicated to a good cause. You think I’m kidding? Here is the Web site:
Wonderbra’s slogan for the day made me laugh out loud. “Firm supporter of the left and the right”. Five points to Gryffindor! Errr…or whichever Hogwarts house the creator of that phrase is in.
So do whatever you need to do to make it happen. And I think it would be extremely appropriate to pour yourself a nice glass of Cleavage Creek wine…
Also, since the girls might be exposed today, you should seriously consider purchasing a Tiddy Bear. What the hell is that, you ask? A Tiddy Bear is my newest infomercial obsession. Observe– A Tiddy Bear:
Can you even live without this? You need to protect your “shoulder”.
You should know, first of all, that I’m feeling much better today. It took some Kathleen mixed with some wine with a side of chips and salsa and Ben and Jerry’s and POOF, healed. (Well, mentally. The ankle still causes me to go on angry expletive-laden rants in my head as I walk through Union Station: “God damned ankle. You mother fucker. Could you MAYBE stop HURTING you little piece of shit?!” Ahem.) Last night I may have eaten upwards of 200% of the recommended daily value of saturated fat in the form of Peanut Butter Cup ice cream, and Kathleen and I may have been glued to the television for an entire hour-long David Blaine special, straight out of 1997, with Leonardo DiCaprio and his floppy hair hosting. It happens.
I only overslept by a half hour (okay, 50 minutes) this morning, which was an upgrade from the rest of the week, and this morning this song came on my shuffle:
How could my day go badly if it began with that song? I mean…
Any time I need to see your face
I just close my eyes and I am taken
to a place where the crystal mind and
magenta feeling taken shelter in the base
of my spine sweet like a chicka cherry cola
The magenta feeling has definitely taken shelter in the base of my spine. (What?)
Does it annoy you when I post music videos? Do you watch them? I always wonder that. I post them so often because (a) it’s easy, (b) I love lots and lots of songs and want everyone else to love them too, and (c) I genuinely enjoy learning about new music on other blogs. And I know, it’s not like I’m breaking artists that you’ve never heard of (faaar from it), but I like posting music because I can’t make my own music and sharing what’s already out there makes me happy. Fair?
If I start to get hate mail telling me to stop, I probably won’t, but the hate mail will make me sad. (I guess that’s the good thing about all of your readers being your friends, though…the hate mail is less frequent. And if there is hate mail, at least I know where the haters live.)
So um anyway, here’s another song I’m loving right now:
I’ve surprised myself by actually…almost…maybe kinda liking the fan video. It’s sweet, right? If you ignore the classic fan video literal images technique?
Did they seriously make “Where the Wild Things Are” into a movie? (Let me answer my own question: yes, they did.) Are you okay with this?! (I’m clearly struggling with it.) What are your thoughts? It seems kind of dark and twisty…
This is why I love Southwest! Okay, is it just me, or would this be even better with the Fresh Prince music playing in the back?
My grandmother is actually the cutest person in the world and LOVES to watch the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air on Nick at Night before she goes to bed. She’ll inform us that she is watching “The Prince” and then retires to her room. Haha. Though recently she’s developed an addiction to Keith and Rachel, which conflicts with “The Prince”. Such is life.
And now that the Fresh Prince theme song is stuck in your head for the next week, I should just help you out/make it worse:
As much as I hate to contribute to it by writing about it, I’m always interested when Joe the Plumber manages to extend his 15 minutes of fame– even if only for a millisecond. How on earth does he do it?! Well this new JTP blip on the media screen is fairly hilarious. Thank you WashPo’s The Sleuth for the important news! Joe recently spoke at the Media Research Center’s “DisHonors Awards”. I know you’re DYING to know what that is; it sounds gripping! Apparently all the people who hate democracy get in one room to slam the liberal media. Doesn’t that sound fun? Umm…boooooooring. So good old Joe the Plumber/Journalist gets up there to accept some bogus award about really sticking it to the socialists. Naturally, the neocons are clapping for this pure paradigm. He eloquently expresses his humble appreciation:
“God, all this love and everything in the room – I’m horny,” declared Joe, whose real name is Samuel Wurzelbacher.
And cue the chirping crickets. Rawr?
When you get that special feeling, Joe, you should just go on home, slip into something more comfortable (but really, is there anything more comfortable than the JTP flannel shirt? I don’t think so!), light some cheap smelling candles, pour yourself a fine glass of boxed wine and run a nice bubbly wubbly bubble bath for yourself. But for the love of all things holy and sacred, DO NOT tell your sexually oppressed conservative friends how you feel!
I was going to go off on a HUGE multiple-paragraph tangent about the so-called liberal media but I’m going to keep this as short as possible…aka one paragraph. Guess what, folks? The liberal media smear is spin concocted to protect the Bush Administration and its followers from the press. By turning the American people against the press, the news stories– which contained the truth — were seen as biased and became irrelevant. But reporting on the horrors of war and unveiling the lies of the government is not liberal bias, it’s the job of the press. Take Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann out of the equation now, please, because they have equal and opposite forces named O’Reilly and Hannity. We’re talking about the journalists whose names you do not know. There is an unspoken vow among journalists to bring the truth to the people– a sort of Hippocratic Oath, if you will. Challenging and questioning a president, Congress, the government, or taking on the rest of the media? That is their function in society. If the media were so liberal, we would have had a Democratic president years ago. Trust me. I’m appalled that the liberal media excuse and tactic is still being used and people are still buying it. (McCain lost. Sarah Palin sucked. Get over it. It was their fault.) Now that Obama is president, the press will do its job to report everything that goes on. In fact, Obama seems to be losing the media fight when it comes to selling his economic plan, is he not? Not so liberal afterall…And I’m spent!
Now back to the important stuff. A most appropriate music video in honor of JTP:
And one last uber-serious thought: Has Akon ever sang about something other than sexytime?
Stick ’em out and push ’em up, ladies, because it’s National Cleavage Day 2009! In South Africa. Haha. While we don’t officially celebrate the holiday here in the good old US of A, I’m sure some exceptions can be made if it really resonates with you.
six words to change the world.
