annoys me..he think she is so cool and controversial and I find him rather annoying. LIke I think if you have a like pop song written for you after winning American Idol about not being an angel and good but being bad then really you are not bad. If you're bad and so dangerous you don't need a pop song to tell the world about it. It is so contrived in my opinion. I know his performance on the AMA's last night was so controversial because of the sexiness of it but really I just watched it and it was like so like not really that bad at all. Oh the whole thing just annoys me. It was so I'm doing this to do this and be controverisal cuz this is actually waht i want to do or am about. bleh. bleh. bleh.

Sitcoms..I love emSo on Wednesday night I decided to stay home and watch the sitcoms on ABC. They were The Middle, Modern Family and COugar Town. Well I actually only saw part of Cougar town and they had two episodes of Modern Famliy. MOdern Family and The Middle were hilarious! I really thought they were funny and entertaining and I really enjoyed watching a sitcom which I feel like I don't end up watching that much. I feel like I see lots of murder, crime , police shows and it was a really nice change of pace to see happy funny times on sitcoms. I think I am gonna watch more sitcoms and less murder..it makes me happier. THe little kid on the Middle is sooo hilarious! You should def check it out!

Mondern Family is good, haven't seen it in a bit. I like the middle but I have a problem with it. That little Kid looks and sounds like Duwe I mean duey from Malcolm in the middle and at points they seem to kinda copy that show a little bit. That being said I love how the little guy says something that whispers it dramaticly that is so funny, again haven't seen it in about a month so....

Golden Girls Rediculousity Redux InsanitThis article is hysterically ridiculous...mind you a link on the side was to an article about Steven Baldwin:Christian American Hero
The Golden Girls: How One TV Show Turned A Generation Of American Boys Into Homosexuals
The Golden Girls television program was never much to look at. A foursome of Florida geriatrics getting agitated about pharmacy bills and shoulder pads- who could ever find such a thing interesting? But somehow these perky and absurd women wormed their ways into America's homes for an 8-year run in the 1980s. Maybe it was our desire to see our grandmothers having fun that encouraged us to watch. Maybe we wanted to believe old age wasn't dominated by infections and hip problems, loneliness and crushing depression before death finally stomps us out like the acrid end of a damp cigarette.
The most unexpected segment of this show's fanbase was America's young men. In the 80s, these were boys too delicate for sports, too awkward for girls, too "artistic" for labor-intensive work and too flamboyant for peer acceptance in high school. With no real adults in sight, these poor children became obsessed with the poorly conceived characters on this show. Desperate for a firm hand in their lives, they gravitated to the subversive undercurrent of masculinity in these aged matrons.
Many studies have been done on why the gays love The Golden Girls, but science can't fathom the moral challenges and social upheaval of those historic times. The 1980s was an epoch of President Reagan's manly wisdom and the terrifying threat of Cold War annihilation. America had sobered up from the flashy lights of 1970s disco. We were skipping all night cocaine and sex parties to focus on our careers. Spiritual leaders like Jerry Falwell were telling us that Christianity was in the majority again. On the other side, there was a subculture of homosexuality creeping up on our youths. It gave them an excuse to wear tight jeans and to sneak off to public parks for quick releases with hairy men of different ethnicities.
golden showers of peril
THE GOLDEN GIRLS GAY AGENDA
It was only to be expected that our lonely boys exposed to these conflicted times would succumb to the nagging Golden Girls agenda. These were slender, unathletic children who were left out of the fun militarism of the Reagan years. Skyrocketing divorce rates ruined their faith in traditional relationships. Rock groups like Duran Duran and Styx encouraged big hair and overactive libidos. The show lit a match which enflamed their intense physical urges. With the utmost cruelty and immorality, The Golden Girls seized upon this opportunity to cross the hormonal wires of America's lost generation.
The results were disastrous. Our horny, lonely boys sought out intimate comforts with likeminded Golden Girls addicts who didn't mind each other's theatrical voices and touch-feely hand gestures. Together, these clusters of awkward teens and twentysomethings bonded over their favorite episodes and characters, mimicking the voices and gowns of their tv friends. When the rush of cheesecake and gabfests wore thin, these hairless boys needed a harder thrill. They were so desperate for the next big trend they turned to same-sex sexual experimentation. What woman would have them now, anyway? This led to the worse excesses of early homosexual visibility- the most enormous of drag queens, the dirtiest of leather daddies, the most enticing of twinkie boys, androgyny, overeating, public sex and the birth of "camp."
golden showers of peril
THOSE THREE DIRTY OLD LADIES
If you walk down the street today and bump into a middle-aged homosexual, chances are that the nasty comeback he will shout at you is something he picked up from Dorothy Zbornak of the Golden Girls. Played by noted liberal activist and Archie Bunker-foe Bea Arthur, Dorothy had a hard, masculine voice. She was cold and quick-tempered. She taught our modern butt rompers to disparage everyone in their orbit. She schooled them on insulting people's clothing choices, body odors, organ sizes and educations. Dorothy taught the gays to speak very fast and have the most superior attitude possible. This formula has worked for many of your urban leather daddies and flaming queens, who attack with the swiftness of a ninja. It often happens that by the time I figure out what the insulting gay man has said to me, he is long gone (probably off groping someone's son in a Sears lavatory). For others, and here I'm talking about your waiters and retail salesmen, Dorothy has given them permission to be two-faced. They smile at you through gritted teeth when you tell them to keep their nail polished fingers off the edge of your pasta dish or when you make them promise that they won't peek while you're trying on a swimsuit in the dressing room. Beneath that smile is a sneer. These gays really hate you for your Christianity and your gold card, your mature good looks or the fact you lead a handsome camping group into the hushed mountains of Tennessee. In whatever afterlife world she inhabits, Bea Arthur is surely pleased by your outrageous outrages, you homosexual anarchists of America.
Blanche Devereaux, played by Rue McClanahan on the show, is one of the sluttiest sluts around. She will do anything to get anyone into her bedroom for hours of offensive copulation irregardless of her aging orifices. Like many contemporary gays, she also demands expensive dinners and presents from her "dates" and takes special pride in catching the rich ones. Blanche's promiscuity is a common model for the personal lives of today's homosexuals. Most gay relationships last a week. It is no coincidence that this is the amount of time between Golden Girl episodes when they first aired on primetime. Blanche's appearances on the show taught today's 30-something homosexuals that you need a new strange man on your arm every seven days or else your viewers/friends will lose interest in your life's plot. Sadly, with the Golden Girls in weeknight syndication, the youngest gays have confused this timetable to mean they need five new boyfriends a week. Their sexual adventures have become both shockingly fast and befuddling to their next-door neighbors and Twitter followers alike.
Rose Nylund, played by x-rated comedienne Betty White, was added to the show as a sort of comic relief to the other more serious characters. She is thoroughly dimwitted. Her clueless acting style makes me cringe at her obvious senility. Senility is not at all funny, but the careless creators of this awfulness used her stupidity for a relentless barrage of immature jokes. Once again, Rose's most salient trait was picked up and celebrated by the gay community. Every buff beefcake I've ever met has been tremendously brainless. They can bump out the beats to any Madonna song on a club railing, but are incapable of telling you the difference between Acapulco and an avocado. They lack the concentration to finish reading your text message, let alone a fantastic website article you may have forwarded to them. Most homosexuals love to gallop around a conversation, yammering out a bunch of big phrases to show you how smart they are. The truth is that if they slowed down for a minute you would see that the Lady Gaga references, truckstop handjob stories and Kevin Jennings defenses don't add up to an intellectual argument. They're just random phrases strung together by psychotropically-medicated, carnally-motivated ridiculous libertines glazed with moisturizer.
For Florida, The Golden Girls completely ruined the reality of Miami's masculine reputation. It was no longer a city of Scarface and Miami Vice. The Cuban machismo and gorgeous Ferraris melted in the face of lengthy canasta games and comfortable paisley chairs. And then the gays came marching in to South Beach. Not even CSI Miami can win the city back for the straights.
golden showers of peril
WILL THE GAYS LIVE "GOLDEN GIRL" STYLE IN RETIREMENT?
Today, as this crowd ages we have to wonder what comes next for the Golden Girl generation of American homosexuals. They're turning 40 and 50 now. Their hair is thinning, their waistlines expanding, their cachet in the cultural scene is long past. Most have settled into heavily mortgaged condos or bungalows in gentrified neighborhoods, bitter at their mid-level jobs with zero hope of becoming a CEO to make their fathers proud. Many are too old at this point to be pursuing anonymous street pickups and have settled into caustic relationships that are only monogamous out of mutual laziness. Maybe they find weekend solace in amateur photography or an overly primped shit-zu.
In a dozen years, the next logical step for these people is Florida. Will we see whole sections of this state devoted to horny gay retirees sporting the worst 1980s fashions? High pants and feathered hair and modern architecture? Will they follow in the lusty steps of their forebears, the Golden Girls? When all these gays are in such close proximity to each other, will we see a huge upsurge in illicit homosexual elderly trysts? Will they vote out Florida's married Christian Republican leaders, like Governor Charlie Crist? Will they embrace any and every cutting edge social issue that will be hip in 2020? Personally, I do not look forward to the day when we're having moral debates about robot sex, gay jetpacks or houseplant marriage. And worst of all, will the next generation of television executives see the need for a new Golden Girls show featuring silver daddies, poppa bears, wankers on walkers and 50-year old twinks who sit on your lap and suck Metamucil lollipops? America, I will be turning off my tv for good in 2019 just in case.

I think the best paragraph was, "The 1980s was an epoch of President Reagan’s manly wisdom and the terrifying threat of Cold War annihilation. America had sobered up from the flashy lights of 1970s disco. We were skipping all night cocaine and sex parties to focus on our careers.

Tick Tick ...BOOM!I really like the musical Tick Tick Boom it is by the guy who did Rent but like it came out after his death but was something he was working on and they put it together after he died. The basic story is like this guy is turning 30 and hasn't created the successful/dream musical of his dreams and doesn't know if he should give up or keep going for his dreams. There were only 3 actors in it. Me and (e:mk) saw it a few years ago at Musical Fare theater and i really liked it and so we went to see Niagara University put it on in Lewiston on Sunday. It was different cuz they had like 12 people instead of 3 and did it differently but it was still good. But i relaly love the soundtrack.
It's a little weird cuz the girl and guy don't end up together in th eend which you would think I would hate, cuz I am a fairy tale believer til the end and always want happily ever afters but it is still good. Though i ugess in some ways depressing but in some ways uplitfting. I tend to listen to it whne I am in a bad mood but it is uplifting but kinda sad too. Ok not sure about any of that. Anywho, It's good and in the performance we saw the girl had the most awesome green dress I ever saw!!!!
I was trying to find some clips on youtube but they are mostly really shoddy productions by who knows what performance groups so this is the best of what I could find of the orignal cast performing to post
.
Afterwards we walked around Lewiston, a little bit artpark and went to the something something for dinner. I can't remember the name. it was with a B. Brickyard perhaps? They have bbq and it was really good, I had ribs and pulled pork and beef brisket and mac and cheese and french fries and that makes me osund fat but I gave (e:mk) my corn bread so that makes it ok right? All in all a lgreat day!

That was at, Artpark at the Church?
Agreed, Brickyard has good food and atmosphere. As you have now experienced, it is best to go with a big appetite. The menu is fun.. did you see that you can get a shot of bourbon/whiskey as a "side"?

It seems totally arbitrary I know to think things will change cuz a year changes but I am cautiously optimistic, i tihnk i described myself as hugely optimstic like one sentence ago, thats quite a big drop to cautiously pretty quick but I am optimistic none the less. Hoping for change both for me and for others. Only two months til then, and this ants got
High hopes, he's got high hopes, he's got high apple pie in the skkkkyy hopes, so anytime you're felling sad just remember that ant, whoops there goes another rubber tree plant.

As echt says, "meine Zeit word kommen in 2010"
As echt says, "meine Zeit word kommen in 2010"
for the record, I was unaware of the BJ thing connected to this performance that I was commenting on. I do think that no matter what gender or sexuality you are, that would have been edited and controversial.
Lauren has a point concerning the Britney issue. People treat man kissing much differently, which is something I just think America has to grow up about. That is "controversial" enough if he wanted to create a buzz. And I think it is good that people are exposed to reality.
The simulated BJ to me crosses the line to vulgar. I don't think anyone doing that on live TV wouldn't catch shit for it. I could be wrong, I don't see too many live TV performances. I cringed, it was like, you know, some asshole is gonna see that and yell TOLD YOU.
I didn't see it so I can't say to much. But what I read was about GMA canceling his performance. The writer brought up a point of if some of this is because he is gay, meaning that if he wasn't gay they think that the performance would still be happening. I think that is true.
The thing with image though is you don't know what is really true. How much of what he does is him, how much is to get publicity, how much is the record company, how much is him trying to get away from American Idol, How much of it is to try and sell his brand of makeup or some ones, how much is it to sell leather goods? See all of those are factors. Sometimes (think Marylyn Manson) be hated is good for you and album sales. You get people are riled up and that drives your act and record sales. If I was an artist and people in cities and towns made circles and burned 10Million copies I would love it, guess why they just bought 10 Million copies, and that is just the people who hate me.
For how he shows off the Gay Image, Not sure if it is good or bad really. Jason does make a good point about that. But in other countries where they aren't as sexually repressed or tight that could be completely different.
I read about that. You know what's interesting to me about it? He said that MEN can't do what women do with these performances. Maybe he meant it in terms of the kiss, but I took it as something that is more than gay or straight. I don't watch a lot of pop music - but could a straight guy get away with having a chick fake blow him live on the AMAs? That is edgy no matter who you are.
I also have a comment about the sexuality of it all. I had some down time yesterday and read a certain celebutard's web site where he said how great it was that Lambert was being so sexual. Obviously I don't give even a molecule of a shit about two guys getting freaky. But how is that a good image for the gay community? In my mind, I could be wrong, it reinforces the image too many people have that homosexuals are typified by the Folsom street festival. I won't say this about too many pop stars, but he has legit talent and IMO doesn't need to go for the cheap thrills. Pop stars today rely on that shit waaaay too much!
Then again...he did say that he's not for everyone. He doesn't seem to be going for mass appeal. I respect that.
I have to say first of all, that I am not an Adam Lambert fan and don't really know much about it him at all, so I am not defending him as an artist. However, I do think that it's really great that we have an openly gay performer who is willing to be explicit with his sexuality on stage. Madonna and Britney can kiss and they don't have to make sure everyone knows that they are straight and they probably (although I don't know for sure) didn't edit that performance. Women can kiss all the time and it's no big deal because it doesn't make people uncomfortable the way two men kissing does, so I appreciate that he is willing to do that. However, it is also an unfortunate probability that he will become a gay icon for the straight world and everyone will think the whole gay community likes to wear bad eye makeup and be dangerous, just like all lesbians play acoustic guitar like Melissa Ethridge. Ah well.
