I just got a comment on my “just want to say hi” page from Glen (or booknut82, based on the email provided in said comment) that said:
YOU APPARTENTLY DON’T HAVE THE SLIGHTEST BRAIN CELL ABOUT US(CHRISTIANS). CONTRARY WHAT YOU HAVE STUPIDLY SAID ABOUT US; WE DO BELIEVE THAT GOD;NOT SOME IDIOT CALLED ALLAH; MADE EVERYTHING ON THE MISERABLE PLACE WE CALL EARTH. BETTER READ UP ON YOUR FACTS BEFORE YOU GO MAKING AN IDIOT OF YOURSELF AGAIN AS YOU SEEM TO MAKE WELL KNOWN!!
Appartently, Glen doesn’t like my views or opinions. Well, that’s okay, Glen, as fortunately, we are all entitled to our own opinions. You should know, however, that Allah actually means God. Finally, I don’t really recall saying anything for or against either, so you see, there really is no need to shout. Thanks for you comment, though.
I love llamas, and I am totally serious. I think they are absolutely adorable. While I think that the people in the video take things a little far with how intricately they dressed up their llamas, that isn’t why I posted the video.
There really are only two reasons for me posting this video: one, llamas are cute (which I already mentioned), and two, I absolutely love Rachel Mazac’s response to some woman asking her if her llama would eat her jewelery. I love that Rachel just rolls her eyes and says, “they don’t eat jewelery, they’re not kleptomaniacs”. So true Rachel. So true.
A while back, my grandma shared one of the many, many stories of my childhood with me, and for the first time in a while, the story was one I hadn’t heard anything about before. Grandma is always sharing stories with me, and many of them, I have heard over and over, and for the most part, they are fun to hear, because that is a part of my life I can’t remember much of. Seeing as I thought I had “heard them all”, I was kind of surprised by this one, especially since has been sort of a running joke ever since it happened.
Sometime when I was around 5, I was playing with a stick, poking the ground, when a relative/neighbor’s dog that was nearby went running to the road. Being a young boy, I naturally ran after the pup, whose name was Spike. Upon seeing me run towards the road, my grandmother yelled for me to come back to her, upon which, I stopped in my tracks. This is where Spike laid down, and I went back to poking my stick at the ground. Since I didn’t go any closer to the street, Grandma continued her conversation where she was, and not long after, I came back away from the road when I grew disinterested in Spike. Upon returning to her side, she yelled at me, and told me not to go near the road, and to especially not to run after the dog, because he would most certainly run into the road, and if I were to follow, I could be killed. Apparently, it was then that I looked at my grandmother and told her not to worry, and gave her a good reason as to why I was perfectly safe the whole time. I told her, “Grandma, Spike was not going to go in the road, he was just up there resting his pussy.”.
Kids say the darnedest things, don’t they? Apparently, I was no exception.
One of my favorite comedians, the amazing Ms. Kathy Griffin just released her second comedy album, Suckin’ It for the Holidays last week; and what kind of fan would I be if I didn’t say something about it? I especially wanted to spread the word, because I only found out about it yesterday myself.
After one listen to this CD, I am reminded why I love Kathy so much; her brash sense of humor is consistently hilarious, and she is one person that always makes me laugh no matter my mood. Even when she is talking about celebrity gossip that I don’t have a clue about, she draws me in with the way she makes fun of it and tells it like it is. Kathy’s comedy is fresh, and always keeps you on your toes. You never know who she’s going after next, and you never know when she’s gonna run into them down the line (which always makes for a great story on its own)!
My favorite moments from this album are when Kathy is at her “worst” (i.e., BEST), saying the things that many of us may think, but won’t say. If you are fan of Kathy, you will love this CD, because it is another generous helping of her hilarious shtick that had me laughing for over an hour. I hope she snags another Grammy nod for this record, because this is one comedian that needs to get the recognition she deserves!
So last night, I was watching one of my favorite shows, Kathy Griffin: My Life On The D-List, when a startling revelation revealed itself before my very eyes; Paula Deen is a fag hag!!
Now, I LOVE Paula Deen. Seriously, something about her just makes me smile all over the place, and her laugh is one that I could just listen to all day long. I could be in the foulest of moods, and Paula ALWAYS makes me smile. Seriously, she is the definition of a down home, beautiful, and amazing southern lady. She has always seemed to me like the type of woman who couldn’t have a mean bone in her body, but I will say that I was honestly shocked that she has a gay assistant, named Brandon Branch! The fact that a lady that so born-and-bred southern, like Paula Deen is, and that she embraces gays just makes me love her so much more. Being from, and living in, the south myself, I know personally that there is so much hate for gays in the south, and it is a delight to know that we have a friend in someone as fabulous as Paula.
But that’s not all!! Not only does she have a gay assistant, but he’s a sassy, funny, and down home country gay that had me laughing so hard I was in stitches! First off, he starts in with the drunken description of trichotillomania (declaring that it is “somethingwithatrickinit”), and then tries to help Paula put her fake eye lashes back on, and declares her a “gaytastrophe” (*adding that to my vernacular*). Then, he says, “we need a gay miracle, we need a gearacle”. The best, is probably when Paula asks who wants some of her “delicious fruit cake”, Brandon chimes in without missing a beat, “I guess that means I gotta cut it.” Needless to say, I bet Paula uses that fabulous laugh of hers VERY often, because 10 minutes of Brandon had me laughing my head off. It goes to show, a little gay in your life can make things way more fun!
The fun is just too good to not show you first hand; the hilarity starts at about nine minutes in:
It keeps on coming:
An interesting, albeit nosy, theory was floated around on twitter last night when I was talking about how much I enjoyed this episode, apparently one that the internets have been asking for some time: Is Bobby Deen gay? Lord knows he’s a cutie (just like his hunky brother Jamie), and with a mama like Paula, I’m sure he’d have no problem coming out to her, (if he hasn’t to her already); that is, if he’s even gay. HOWEVER, I do want to say, that whether he is or isn’t, is none of my business, so long as he’s happy; and my guess is that he is, because who wouldn’t be happy with a mama like Paula Deen!? I say let sleeping dogs lie; gay or not, it’s none of our business.
Thanks again for making my night, Kathy Griffin. I love you; and I love you too, Paula Deen!
Today, I went up to Ink and Dagger Tattoo Parlour because my friend Zack was getting some work done, and as usual, I had some fun and interesting conversation with my tattoo artist, Russ Abbott. It seems that he is doing a tattoo of the famous Confederate Stone Mountain carving for a client, and upon studying the picture carefully, in order to capture and re-create its detail, he discovered a little bit of a wardrobe malfunction on one of the generals:

As Russ so eloquently put it, “there really isn’t anything that could be other than a dick”; and you know what, I would have to agree. (yes, I KNOW that it is the bottom of his gun holster, but the placement and the execution of the harness strap in the right place totally makes my dick argument stronger. Think about it… perhaps he was a general in the bedroom as well!)
