Air New Zealand-Crazy About Rugby-Safety Video

I love this safety video for Air New Zealand…I could see Southwest doing something like this…but no way US Airways or any other stick in the ass airline.

This chart surprises me, not the fact that support for same sex marriage is growing but the fact that it’s still so low in some places… ex. North Carolina. I guess there are still a lot of rural folks (and city folks by the way) that just don’t get it. I forget that Bill James exist. I guess i’ve been in New York too long.

SHEENA EASTON — Machinery

Classic, awesome Sheena Easton and OMG! Prop 8 has been ruled unconstitutional….but I have learned not to get my hopes up because you can just get beat back down that way, but I am hopeful.

Stonewall Uprising

Coming soon to a theater near you soon…..It’s been 41 years since Stonewall which I shared my thoughts on last year…..

Here’s Hillary Clinton’s speech on pride month…pretty cool

Dixie Chicks minus Natalie Maines

The Dixie Chicks minus Natalie Maines (Martie & Emily) are The Court Yard Hounds and they have written a song about a kid getting rejected by his dad when he comes out.

Ain’t No Son lyrics…

I’ve got something to say
I’m scared and so afraid
Can you take me as I am
Come what may our blood is all the same
I’m still your little man

He said you ain’t no son to me
You ain’t no son to me
Eight pound baby boy I bounced on my knee
No, you ain’t no son of mine
You ain’t no son of mine
Aw, forget it girls there ain’t no use in trying
Don’t expect to get my love for free
And don’t blame me

Well this ain’t no fun for me
This ain’t no fun for me
Oh boys should be boys
That’s how it should be
You ain’t coming home
No you ain’t coming home
Til you walk the straight line
You’ll be out on your own
Don’t expect to save your soul for free
When you’re the one who turned your back on me

Aren’t you a sight to see
Yeah, you’re a sight to see
What you call freedom makes you look like a freak
You must get around
Cause it sure got around
Don’t you know that I can’t show my face in this town
Don’t think I’m gonna get you up off of me
When you’re the one who turned your back on me
Stranger, stranger on the wall
When the neighbors come to call
I just don’t know what to say
So I’ll put you away
This time I won’t leave a trace
I’ll fill up the empty space
When I put you, I put you away
I put you away

He said you ain’t no son to me
You ain’t no son to me
Eight pound baby boy I bounced on my knee
No, you ain’t no son of mine
You ain’t no son of mine
Aw, forget it girls there ain’t no use in trying
Don’t expect to get my love for free
When you’re the one who turned your back on me
Don’t blame me
Don’t blame me
Don’t blame me
Shame on you
Shame on you
Shame on you

OMFG!!! Beyonce & Lady Gaga...Telephone

If you have 10 minutes, this mini movie of Telephone (not the video) may be my favorite internet thing in a LONG time. It’s not even 8am and I am screaming…OMG it’s great!!! (and is one of those lesbians Steve Buscemi frome the 80′s?)

Off today after a LONG week of inventory…gotta do some painting and other chores but nothing too hard. Weekend of rain coming but next weekend, WATCH OUT!!!  ….sunny and upper 50′s!!!

Why does all this stuff take so much time?

The Catskills around Kaaterskill Creek
It’s so hard keeping up with everything that has to be done and then keeping up with everything that doesn’t have to be done. We’re adding wainscoting to the foyer and that’s taking a lot longer than I thought but it’s going all right.

We went on an awesome road trip last weekend seeing seven feet of snow, not sure why I didn’t really take a lot of pictures, guessing I was more interested in just looking.

Fell on my ass Monday…DAMN THAT ICE!!!…and my butt has been sore for a week and I think I may have another skin cancer on my hand. Hopefully whatever this thing is the doc can just zap that thing off.

And can anybody tell me why hater Roy Ashburn was never exposed as being gay if everybody, including Chris Cabaldon, supposedly knew?

Roseanne on Marie Osmond's son killing himself and the denial all the Osmonds have responded with

Because he had been told how wrong and how sick he was every day of his life by his church and the people in it. Calling that “depression” is a lie! Yet the Osmonds still talk lovingly about their church, saying nothing about its extremely anti-gay Crusade. Marie also has a gay daughter! Hey, I want her and all the gay kids in the world to know that they are just fine being gay and that they deserve love and respect instead of insults and rebuke! I have gay people in my family and my circle of friends and I am kicking bigot ass and taking names! That is how its done in my religion—(I have my own religion that I made up for myself and it is a great religion that actually works and respects facts and not fantasy!) Gerald Lund one of the ex church apostles has three gay kids himself. Yet, even though the people they say they love the most in all of their public displays and speeches (THEIR KIDS AND FAMILY!!) are gay,– their own children, for crying out loud- these people cannot find the christian decency and compassion within themselves to stop their hypocritical gay bashing!! How sickening. I know so many Mormon kids who were gay and committed suicide, and I just cannot and will not stay quiet in order to not offend bigots anymore. It is all so terribly depressing. Marie please don’t talk about how your faith in your church has helped you get through this one! Please get some integrity and tell that church of yours that you will leave it and stop giving it ten percent of your money if they don’t stop trying to destroy your kids’ and all gay people’s civil rights and dreams and hopes!! G-d is trying to use you for something good and this is your opportunity! Your church is wrong and on the wrong wrong wrong side of things! Get as vocal about that as you are about your diet. G-d bless you too, Marie. Take a hard look at the facts now as you use this very sad time for introspection, healing growth and prayer, and become a strong symbol for loving mothers who make no apologies for hatred against their own kids!

This is a direct COPY/PASTE from Roseanne’s blog a couple of days ago… I couldn’t have said it any better myself.

Matt Damon....

Matt Damon will be playing Liberace's boyfriend

Matt Damon is gonna star as Liberace’s boyfriend in the new Liberace movie next year. Michael Douglas will be playing Liberace which seems kind of weird to me. Matt Damon is God by the way.

Yesterday, the Arizona state house passed legislation that says that straight couples will have first dibs on children. Only if no married straight couples can be found would a child become available to others. This would overrule the existing practice of the Department of Economic Security that makes the “best interests of the child” the primary factor when considering placing a child for adoption.

Snow Dawg

It’s snowing…prolly about six inches, but believe or not, this is our first bigger snow since early December. While the rest of the east coast has been socked a couple of times, we’ve been relatively dry, but this one seems to be piling up quicker than they thought. We’ll see.

CBS Reports: The Homosexuals

This is a special news report from Mike Wallace called CBS Reports: The Homosexuals from 1967. If you have 45 minutes, watch it. It has interviews with Gore Vidal, various members of The Mattachine Society, politicians, prosecutors, law enforcement, and both closed and out in the open gay people.

It’s been a while since I’ve put anything here. Just keeping up with other people’s stuff and spending TOO much time on facebook when I AM in front of the computer, and then also just doing real life things to amuse myself, I guess this blog thing takes a back seat much like I’ve seen it has with countless others.

We were supposed to get some snow today but like the rest of the winter, looks like we’re out of luck. They’ve downgraded expectations to 3-6 inches….and that’s really alright with me. We’re usually due 60-70 inches of snow a season but so far, we had that snow of 6 or 8 inches in early December and a few small snows since then, but really nothing. It’s been COLD though, OMG! I hate it. This year has had only 5 days over 40and only 9 over freezing. Can you tell I just watched the weather guy? This is Casey wanting to jump onto The Mohawk River after a bird

Riverside Park, Schenectady, NY, February 2008

This is Lake Champlain from a road trip a couple of weeks ago. We had never been all the way to the very northern part on Vermont so we made our way Plattsburgh, NY and took the ferry over to Vermont and then to St. Albans where we ate here (and they freaking had everything) and then to northern Vermont and then to Canada. We made our way into the Canadian countryside where where we explored for a while and then set the GPS to come home. THIS is where we entered the United States again. I would have taken pictures but I think they may frown on that especially considering we had a remote starter hidden under the seat because it looks like a bomb and the fact that Duncan had a hard time finding his license on the way back through so I was sure we were were about to get detained and stripped searched in this cabin they called a security checkpoint.

And finally, if you haven’t seen this great Google commercial, take a look.

Remembering Brad Graham

Brad Graham of The Bradlands died Monday from natural causes. Brad was the first gay blogger I started reading a LONG time ago. He was a very a smart and caring guy and besides the fact we both loved Star Trek and Matt Damon, that is what I will remember him for. Thanks for the good reads and great advice back in the day. The blogosphere feels a little empty today.
