'tis the season for bitter angertwink rants about gay pride
I don't have much to say this week, nor will I rant lest I be accused of being bitter. I had a very busy weekend and we had our last rugby tournament of the season where I got a fabulous harlequin jersey out of the deal. While the weather was great, I was reminded why I do not play rugby into the summer. When I got home I was talking to a friend on the phone who asked me, "Are you drunk?" The answer was "no" but I sounded drunk because I was all worn out from too much sun. I had not consumed any alcohol, but probably didn't drink enough water. Summer temperatures drain my brain. I stick to biking and running in the summer.
Atlantic hurricane season begins this week and goes until November 30. I'm using this event as an opportunity to bring back the annoying animated '.gif' image to the Internets. I miss those days when everyone's personal web page had an annoying animated gif. Web 2.0 needs annoying animated .gif images.
This month's issue of GQ includes an interview with tundra hillbilly Levi Johnston, and a nice quiet chat with angry, bitter actor Christian Bale.
Absolutely unsafe for most workplace viewing but totally hot: Picnic Warriors.
OMG it's June already and that means only one thing: tons of bitter blog rants and articles in the gay press about the pointlessness of Gay Pride festivals and parades. Personally, I see Pride festivals as another excuse to eat roasted turkey legs and cotton candy. I see it as a family reunion of sorts where I tend to see people I haven't seen in a long time and I have nice chats with them. Plus RuPaul is performing this year.
There are many reasons for Pride festivals and parades. If anything, why not have a parade? They're fun and people throw candy right at you! I must note that it is a straight guy on our gay-welcoming rugby team who is coordinating the gay pride festival booth presence this year. We need more participation like that.
There was a massive fish kill at the National Zoo's Amazonia exhibit last week. It almost mirrors the massive fish kill in my front pond over the weekend when I tried to use algicide. I swear the bottle said it wouldn't kill the fish.
I went to a new chiropractor yesterday, and the added bonus is that he's kinda hot. I think he's Jersey Italian, always a nice breed of male. He didn't wrench my back the way my old chiropractor did, but I do feel a difference from the adjustment, and it's good to be back to some regular spinal-wrenching.

Picnic Warriors = classic. The whip cream swirly ass hairs really did me in...
RuPaul, not fair! :)
I know and have known more than a few ppl that need to be treated for post-traumatic embitterment syndrome!
We have our Pride in October. One year at the tiny parade I took a platter of cookies I made and passed them out to strangers. It was completely fun.
Have you tried barley straw for algae?
I am all for a party.. but I can understand why alot of gays have decided to either stop going to the Pride events or not even support it at all.
I think that everyone, gay, straight, Bisxual should just party together and celebrate Human Pride.
I have my personal reasons for not going or supporting it. But its best to talk about it in person.. next time we see each other I will tell you.
I've got a crush on a Jersey Irish-Italian -- hot, red, and hairy. But I'm a good boy. Yes, I'm good. Always good. Not tempted. Nope, not I.
Chiropractic is pseudoscientific nonsense. I mean, you do know that....right? Just get a massage next time and while you're on the table tell yourself your "meridian lines" or "subluxations" are being sussed up or some shit. That way, you can get all the benefit of the placebo effect AND pay significantly less for the procedure at the same time!
Bitter people should stay at home and be restrained from communication until the condition clears up.
Now that I know RuRu is coming, I will brave the tarmac. Ahh so many new songs.
I am suddenly in the mood for a Big Mac.
Dominic Mirando? I believe Tony and Dominic are Long Island Italian... :-)
Not caused by hurricanes , this crop circle is still pretty impressive ! http://uk.news.yahoo.com/4/20090603/tuk-jellyfish-crop-circle-appears-in-fie-dba1618.html
hope this link works.
Best wishes , Phil.
Jimbo, I'll be riding in the parade this year and looking for interesting/unique items to throw from my convertible. Do you or any of your readers have suggestions?
And no, "throwing attitude" doesn't count .... I'll leave that to others like ....
OK, I'm fine with Long Island Italian as opposed to Jersey Italian, but it was a close guess!
All I know is regular chiropractic visits for my sore old back decreases the frequency and severity of my multi-annual back spasms. And regular adjustments feel good and keep me limber like the Catwoman I should be every day.
RE: pride festivals - back in and around my hometown, we have Korn Fest, Sunfish Days, June Dairy Days, Octoberfest and Summerfest. If the heteros have a festival for a sunfish, we should have a festival for gay.
Jimbo, Back in the day they were called marches, not parades! We have come a long way baby! The festival I attend to see folks I only see there and sadly only once a year. Plus it is a great time to give away little dick earrings. Hope to see you there!
You should march in the NYC Pride parade this year, Jimbo. Father Tony has gotten us New Yorkâarea bloggers a spot in the parade, and he says out-of-town visitors are welcome to join us.
