Man Marries Videogame...

Last Sunday in Japan a man married a video game character in a real-life wedding ceremony. The ceremony was officiated by a priest in front in front of his family, friends and posted live on the internet.

I'm too tired this morning to rant about how most gay people can't get married but some videogaming douche can married a piece of machinery so I'll just say this...the Mayans were right, the end of the world is approaching fast.

There's been a lot of speculation about Anderson Cooper's sexuality. Is he gay ? Is he straight? Is it any of our business?
I wrote a blog about it for Ourscene. Check it out and let me know what you think.

5 Great Timeless Films

I'm watching The Wizard of Oz and I was just thinking how amazing this piece of cinema truly is. It does more then stand up to the test of time and changed the times.

Since I'm into "list making" lately, here's a list of 5 great movies that live up to the test of time.


5. Overboard. Damn Goldie Hawn awesome!


4. A Christmas Story. We have a leg lamp in our living room.


3. Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. The best of all of Star Wars films.


2. The Shining. It will always be scary and I'll never be able to play with my pet axe again.


1. The Wizard of Oz. Brilliant and perfectly cast. You can't have a bad day if you put this movie on.

BRUNCH with Top Chef Contestant JAMIE LAUREN!

This week on Brunch I'm joined by former Top Chef contestant Jamie Lauren. The tattooed San-Fran based executive chef talks about her dream of having a mobile hot dog shop and helps bring back the official BWB pillow fight.

There is also a mystery referee. Can you guess who she is?

BWB with Jamie Lauren

It doesn't get much worse then this...

CNN.com just posted a news report about the arrest of the parents of an 8-year-old rape victim. The 8 year old girl was allegedly sexually assaulted by four boys in July and now according to Arizona police she has also been abused by her parents.

Her father, 59, and mother, 47, were arrested Friday in Phoenix on seven counts of child abuse. Police said the parents used sticks, wires and their fists to hit their daughter. Witnesses said the parents left their daughter wandering their apartment complex alone at night, begging for food.

In July the girl was allegedly lured to a storage shed, pinned down and gang-raped by four boys, none of them older than 14.
14????!!!!!


The girl's parents said they felt they had been shamed by their child and blamed her for being victimized.

As a result, the girl was taken from her home and placed in state custody.

This story outrages me. How can this child ever expect to have a normal life after being abused and by so many? Hopefully, one day she'll regain trust in others and find a family or group of friends that will love and protect her.

My wife has said this many times and I agree, anyone convicted of rape should be castrated. It might seem extreme but it will solve the problem.

I don't pray, but I might start now...

I have good news and bad news...

My Ipod hasn't been working for awhile, probably because I dropped it one too many times, so I made an appointment at the Mac Store to get it repaired. The Mac "genius technician", (that's what they call them, geniuses!) told me he had good news and bad news for me.

I asked to hear the bad news first. The bad news was my Ipod was not repairable and my warranty had expired.

umm...that's pretty bad.

I asked to hear the good news. The good news was he was going to give me a new Ipod for free. For Free??? Then I asked the "genius" What's the catch was? He said, "No catch. Your new Ipod has a 90-day warranty."

This guy might not be a "genius" but he is super nice. Because of his niceness I saved $300 by not having to buy a brand new Ipod. YIPPEE!

I felt so successful with my errand running that I decided to get an oil change. My Jeep requires the generic oil for $40 not that fancy stuff. Of course my Jeep decided to be in a "mood" and it needed a bunch of additional work done. My $40 oil change quickly turned into $200. But I couldn't complain since I did get a free Ipod.

The moral of this story is that Mac needs to start making Jeeps.

"From Fab to Fug" ?!?!?!

Whilst reading US Magazine (my first mistake), I came across a blog in the Style & Beauty section called "FROM FAB TO FUG."

In this "remarkable" piece of journalism beautiful actresses are called "fug" (short for "fucking ugly") for transforming into "unattractive" characters in their movies. wow I am really using a lot of quotes in this blog...

I'm not sure who at US Magazine is deciding who's fug and who isn't, but apparently Frida Kahlo and her unibrow are on the bad list.

Number 10 on the list is Thandie Newton who turns "fug" by transforming into Condoleeza Rice in the film "W." I'm a left wing liberal but come on! You can't call Condy fug!

Seriously, now that's harsh...

p.s. When did US Magazine become junior year in high school?
p.s.s. More importantly, why do I read the site if it upsets me so much?

From FAB to FUG!

Racing Through The Holidays

Yesterday I walked into a grocery store and noticed a new addition to the dairy section: numerous cartons of eggnog staring me down. I immediately started to tear up. My tears weren’t sentimental for the upcoming holiday season. No, the tears were caused by my fear of the future.

If eggnog is here for the holidays, than there goes 2009.

Every year department stores and advertisers race through the last quarter of the year, and as soon as Halloween hits a Target store then comes Thanksgiving, then Christmas/Hanukkah /Kwanzaa and then New Years. 2010 is right around the corner. Then, before you know it, it’s 2012, the year that the Mayan’s claimed would mark the end of the world.

So this eggnog is not normal eggnog, it symbolizes the end of the world! Who knew eggs and nutmeg could be so deadly?

If the Apocalypse is approaching then there are many things I still have to do before it’s all over:

#1 Lose 5 pounds.
#2 “Experience” the Red Light District in Amsterdam.
#3 Make more money than, well, anyone else!

As you can see my goals are totally obtainable, if I only had more time!

This racing clock is causing me extreme anxiety and forcing me to direct my anger at inanimate dairy products.

Many people enjoy watching the leaves in their yard change color and the festive holiday lights strung up all over town but for me I find it all depressing. Once the holidays are over then I have to start all over again in the New Year. A New Year brings new responsibilities. I’ll have to make lists, set goals, and commit to a New Years resolution that I won’t stick to.

Damn it eggnog, why are you holding a mirror to my face and calling me a liar!

I shouldn’t waste any more time writing this blog because things need to be done and Oprah needs to go down…that’s what she said.
