I miss my Big-Wheels

When I was a kid I had a Big-Wheels, known as the "King of the Sidewalk for 40 Years!" I use to ride that pink and blue masterpiece back in forth between driveways in the neighborhood and almost got hit by a car many times. Most of my riding memories end with my mother running out of the house screaming, "Watch out!" and then having a car swerve and just miss me. Wait, why didn't my mom take my Big-Wheels away the first time that happened?

Maybe she took out a baby insurance policy on me?....

Anyway, now a days kids have bigger and better toys than ever before. BEHOLD: The Mercedes 2 Seater made for 3 year olds +. For only $499.99 (before taxes) you can get your very own high-end faux German automobile with built in radio and chrome front grill (seriously?). This "toy" goes 5 miles per hour (umm that's kinda fast) and carries up to 132 lbs. If your 3 year old weighs 132 lbs you need to take them on Oprah.

I am so disturbed by this mini luxury car, not only because it's nicer than my Jeep but because the maker is encouraging these kids to take their toy off-roading. WHAT? Does this car require insurance and annual smog checks too?

I miss my Big-Wheels...

Come Out Countdown

As an ex-closeted gay person, I know the before and after of being out to my family and friends. My life is 1,000,000 times better and freer after coming out to everyone in my life. Even though it took time for my mother to come around I was one of the lucky ones to have an accepting support network. Right now is a pivotal time for the queer community. Most states don't have legalized gay marriage or gay adoption and I believe we have strength in numbers. We need to be active to make a difference.

So I offer up a challenge. My wife calls it a "Pepsi" challenge but I call it the "Come Out Countdown".

In one years time, I challenge 1,000 new or closeted gays to come out. When you've done the grand deed, tell us all about it here.

Please Post :

#1 Your first name
Your age
The state/country where you live
The date that you came out

The first person to post will be #1 (as above) and please continue numbering after that.

One year from today, August 22, 2010, I'll tally up the results and see if we hit (or surpassed) our goal.

LGBTQ visibility matters and your heroism will inspire and change the world. (If you're already "out" Congratulations, but this isn't for you. Please only post if you have come out on or after August 22, 2009- this is for the new gays!)

Good luck and don't be scared. Being gay is AWESOME!

Signs you are a dick!

Sometimes people aren't aware of themselves. They might not mean to be rude or annoying but they are. Since I'm constantly trying to better myself here are 10 reasons you might be a dick.

1. You smoke a pipe in public. Only Sherlock Holmes is allowed to smoke that stinky thing. Bubble pipes are ok though.
2. You ride your bike on the sidewalk in the city when you're supposed to be on the street.
3. You send mass emails out daily. I don't want to go to a circuit party nor do I care about parking lot rapists.
4. You park your car in two parking spaces. Share bitches!
5. You smoke a cigar in public. Not as bad as a pipe but still awful.
6. You rap out loud to yourself in public and you're not a rapper. Stop it! It's weird!
7. You have a handicap sticker on a car worth over 60K and you're not handicapped. You're a dick!
8. You do construction or make any kind of loud noise before 7am. You're a big dick!
9. You cut people in line. Be aware of yourself and wait your turn.
10. Pushy parents with entitled children. Just because you're sluts and can't afford birth control doesn't mean you get special treatment. Why do you think your stroller should cut the line?


The more you know...

Have a super day!

Why is angel food so good?

I successfully cooked a healthy meal tonight and as a treat I bought an angel food cake. Accidently I somehow consumed the entire cake, with a little help from my wife. It really is the food of the angels or a trick from the devil making today's cycling class pointless.

In the end my pea smells like asparagus and I'm full of angel food cake. All is well with the world...

Mia Kirshner's I LIVE HERE Fundraiser

On Saturday, August 22, the lovely and talented Mia Kirshner is hosting the I LIVE HERE Fundraiser and BRUNCH WITH BRIDGET is a proud sponsor of this event.

This is a very important benefit aiding one of the world's poorest countries, Malawi, where nearly 20 of its population has AIDS, leaving many children orphaned.

Many orphans are arrested for petty crimes and sent to the Kachere juvenile prison located in Malawi's capital. The prison is overcrowded, has a shortage of food, and has unsanitary living conditions. These children are in crisis. If you are free on Saturday, August 22, to attend, or are willing to donate online, please know 100% of the proceeds go to the Malawi Literacy Project.

Below are all the details.

Saturday, August 22 from 7pm-11:30pm
969 Colorado Ave. Santa Monica, CA
Donations can be made and tickets can be purchased at: www.donate.opusa.org/

"Inmate Hides Gun In Fat Layers"

In Houston, Texas, a 600 pound man hid a 9mm handgun and 2 clips while in police custody. How did he do it? Well, he wedged the weapon between his layers of fat of course!

At the age of 13 I weighed 200 lbs and had my share of layers of fat but obviously nothing as impressive as this gun smuggler. If I could go back in time to my chunky days (which I wouldn't want to do) there are only two things I'd need lodged between my skin for emergencies.

#1. My cell phone charger. I always misplace it but if it's actually physically on me I'll be all set.

#2. Maple syrup. Everything takes better with maple syrup and you never know when you might need it.


The man was released from jail on bond and the Houston Police Department is considering changing the way they search morbidly obese inmates. Umm, you think?

Luckily no one was hurt, except the gun's pride.

Gay Breeders

Many of my gay friends have decided to have children, interesting choice but I prefer a good bottle of pinot. There are people who want kids and people like me. Check out my blog at Ourscene and let me know what you think.

Happiness

I admit it, I'm a googler. When I'm bored I google words with the goal to perk up my own mood. The below picture is the result of me googling the word "happiness". The bunny riding the other bunny seems to be experiencing happiness but the bunny being ridden does not share its rider's sentiment. So instead of calling this picture "Happiness" I'm changing its name to "Happiness on top, bullshit on the bottom".
