Nick Fondulis played Jayden on 30 Rock's episode last night called "Auction Day." My family member that just gave birth on Tuesday, she named her boy Jaiden. The funny part was that she was going to spell it 'Jayden.' My family member's surname is Tyler was going to name the baby so but decided to take the boy's father's last name instead. The eeiry part is that the character's full name is Jayden Michael Tyler. Good she didn't name him Jayden Tyler, the character is crazy. do you know how close the chil came to be being called Jayden Tyler? The child's name end up being Jaiden C. Debose. What could have been right?
There is a myth that handsome guys are gay. Well, it is more a joke around women. Women say that most good-looking and 'good' men are gay. I am sure it is mostly a joke. I think it might seem that way but it isn't. It all comes down to coveting what isn't yours, unrequited love in a sense. Because I also think about when gay men want to gain the affections of a straight guy. I have to be honest that I have been in a similar situation, and from my own experiences, I can say it wasn't about sex but it depended on the person. You can't help who you are attracted to or who you like, even if it is dismissed as a crush. I hate that, when affection is dismissed simply as a 'crush.' How do 'they' know how I'm feeling. But one of my girlfriends have clarified that I may have a pattern to being attracted to straight men. I have indeed dated and have been in relationships with gay men.
With all the adding the word 'man' to everything like man-purse, man-scape and the insufferable 'man up!', this year women are concerned about what to get their men for Valentine's Day. I saw an old episode of "Sabrina the Teenage Witch," in which Sabrina didn't know what to get her boyfriend Havery and her aunt had suggested a romantic gondola ride on the Milky Way. Many people suggest getting lingerie or editable underwear for the woman to show off to her man. But what does a person get when they are just starting dating and not yet engaging in sexual relationship or what to get a gay man? Now, an ingorant person would say you could get a gay guy a purse or dress, but that's not the case.
Chocolates, always good, but now in this day of high sugar, carbs, transfats, and cavities, most nlikely candy will not be received well.
Flowers, now here it can get tricky. Roses are acceptable but at best one rose is appropriate. A bouquet is too much if you just starting dating. But, of course, if you are both in a long-term relationship for years and out and open, a bouquet is fine.
This year has been the new of the 'comebacks.' Britney Spears, Robert Downey Jr., Guns & Roses, the Miami Dolphins, and Kamen Rider. It has also been the year of 'Change.' The Best has been Barrack Obama being voted President of the United States and one of the worst is the state of the economy and the second to worst but workable is banning gay marriage. The movie blockbusters this year even lived up to the hype such as Iron Man, Dark Knight, etc. While gas prices have lowered, everyone is not so trusting. For those not familiar with the 'comebacks' I mentioned earlier, Britney Spears got a hit record and people have been more forgiving to her. No one wnated to see a movie with Robert Downey Jr. until now with Iron Man and Tropic Thunder. Axel Rose finally released his Chinese Demogracy but no one really cared. The Miami Doklphins are now the play-offs, with a new Quarterback and coach, both who used to be in the NY Jets and beat the NY Jets in which could be Brett Favre's last game ever. And Kamen Rider, a popular 38 year-old Japanese action series was once adapted in Masked Rider in 1995 by Haim Saban and now has returned to the CW4Kids by Adness Entertainment and Steve Wang as Kamen Rider Dragon Knight.
Two weeks ago was my four-year-old niece's birthday party and she loves the Disney Princesses. We got her Ariel, big Belle and the non-princess big Tinker Bell. She looked at all her dolls and then she asked, "Donde esta mi principe?" We laughed but I gave this great thought. She had many Princesses (Jasmine, Cinderella, Baby Ariel, etc.), but she had no prince. She didn't have no Barbie nor Ken. My eldest niece, her cousin, hates Barbies and is happy she doesn't have any Barbies. But when I wished to get the little niece "A" a Prince doll for Christmas, my eldest niece "M" suggested buying Ken's prince. I went to Toys R Us and they only had the new Diamond-no-se-que (Diamond-I-don't-know-what) and he didn't look much like a prince. And they had Sleeping Beauty with Prince Phillip for $22 in a pack. Even as much as I love them, no way I was going to pay that much. I found the Princesses in 'wedding dresses' but no groom. What kind of wedding is that? Are they promoting same-sex weddings? If so, awesome but I doubt it.
I went back to the first big wall of dolls, search and search and nothing. It is obvious where that the kids give up searching, the dolls above were all perfectly stacked. There was only the beast. I fear that my niece "A" will loose the beast head. So the lady came back with a couple of Prince Charmings and Prince Eric. I was so thrilled, I tried taking Eric from her but she needed help to carry them. So I helped put them on the shelf. She felt bad for poor Beast. Having less Prince merchandise in Princesses is common with any gender-based merchandise, there are few male CabbagePatch Kids, there are few female Power Rangers or even female figures in any male-based toyline. Because with the theory or proof that they don't sell well. The Princes were pretty good deal too, originally they were $12.50, they are now $8.
Nils Olav, a 3-foot tall penguin at Edinburgh Zoo in Scotland and mascot for the elite Norwegian King's Guard, was knighted Friday with all the pomp and circumstance befitting royalty. Nils then was knighted by British Maj. Gen. Euan Loudon on behalf of Norway's King Harald V. Being pushed along by a trainer, he 'inspected' the troops and shyed away from the sword.
I want to know what constitutes as controversy. I know controversy is a dispute between people but I always thought controversy was a dispute over something people thought as bad. What I mean is that I related controversy with sin or something people related with sin, perversion or evil. The dictionary says, "Controversy is disagreement, typically when prolonged, public, and heated." Wikipedia says "Controversy occurs when parties actively disagree, argue about, or debate, a matter of opinion. Controversies can range in size from private disputes between two individuals to large-scale disagreements between societies." But now I see the word Controversy be thrown around over simple things like Transformers or Care Bears over what fans don't like. I think the word Controversy is becoming more open to more other disputes or grievances.
I looked it up and it is an actual spicy salsa called 'salsa con queso' and that is salsa with cheese. Salsa typically is spicy.
Anyone that says Father's day is a waste of time, that fathers don't do anything, that mothers do most of the work such as in pregnancy and carrying the child. The pain of childbirth and what it does to a woman's body and the bonding of breast feeding. There is a reason why partnership parenting has proven so successful. I think whoever that says father don't do anything, or men as parents in general are bitter and didn't have a good father. I have been really blessed and I am not just saying that to have a father, not a perfect father, not a flawless man but a honest man, a father willingly do what is right and be there for me in all the trappings of life. When my mom didn't fully accept the fact that I am gay, my dad has been a bit more understanding.
When I was growing up in the 80's, I remember seeing the commercials for the army that would say "Be! All you can be be... in the Army." Also the Smoky Bear "Only You can Prevent Forest fires." And I was like, why would I want to start a forest fire? And I don't ever see any forests around my neighborhood. As a kid, I couldn't grasp this. How did the fire start and why am I onlt the one that can prevent it if I am 4? So it is so strange to me that the slogan hasn't change since the 40's and the army slogan has change twice since. From the forgettable "Army of One" to the now weak "Army Strong." Why can't they just go back to "Be all you can be"? Well, that was just my little rant.
In the pilot of the American "The Office," one of the employees put their boss Michael's mug that says "World's Best Boss" in a Jell-O mold. I was planning to do so to my friend who loves "The Office" and has such a mug--for April Fool's Day. He keeps it in his office, under lock and key, the office, not the mug. My accomplice went into the office where his office is with my friend but unfortunately my friend never left so my accomplice could get the mug for me to put it in the Jell-O. My accomplice waited for my friend to leave but he never did. So I never got to do the prank. Oh well.... there is always next year.
I now gimmicks have been tried before with cereals and candies, but what is up with making chocolate products out of non-chocolate products? Just recently Chocolate Skittles was made, I haven't tried it because I am slightly repulsed. It doesn't mix in fruit, but it just doesn't look right. About more thna a year ago, Chocolate Lucky Charms was made, it just doesn't look right either.
Today is Three Kings Day. What does that mean? El Dia de los Tres Reyes Magos is a Commonwealth of Puerto Rico official holiday, as well as a religious holiday. It celebrates the Three Wise Men's visit to see the newborn Christ by exchanging gifts. Traditionally, children stack bundles of hay in boxes and glasses of water for each King's camel, to then find their boxes exchanged for gifts. (Sounds familiar? Milk and cookies for Santa?) This is also done in Cuba and several other Latin American countries. In the Eastern church a variety of different names are given for the three, but in the West the names have been settled since the 8th century as Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar. Also, Latinos don't take off their Christmas decorations until after January 6th, when some believe the three kings have arrived to Jesus, hence ending the celebration. In Miami, Florida; there is a parade called the Tres Reyes Magos parade on Calle Ocho (8th street) in Little Havana. Floats and activity has decrease through the years, due to lack of funds and interest. Sometimes certain aunts and uncles, neighbors and other family members that forgotten children in Christmas give presents to kids on this day.
