Heh.
I have shouted from the rooftops how much I hate Katy Perry and her faux lesbian anthem "I Kissed a Girl."
But lo! I am not as eloquent as Beth Ditto of The Gossip. Here is the quote from Karman Kregloe's blog on AfterEllen.com:

Of course, the more scandalous quotes always get the most attention, and we're seeing that play out with Ditto's comments about singer Katy Perry. News outlets are rushing to report what she recently said to UK gay magazine Attitude, which included calling Perry's hit "I Kissed A Girl" a “boner dyke” anthem for “straight girls who like to turn guys on by making out or like faking gay.”

Ditto went even further, proclaiming:

I hate Katy Perry! She’s offensive to gay culture, I’m so offended. She’s just riding on the backs of our culture, without having to pay any of the dues and not being actually lesbian or anything at all. She’s on the cover of a f---ing gay magazine.

Oh Beth :) and what about Perry's "You're So Gay," the song in which she calls her (ex) boyfriend "gay" in a pejorative manner (You are so gay and you don't even like boys)? Unfortunately many people in the LGBT community like her (even *sniff*sob* my Adam). It's like black folks wearing British Knights and Hilfiger :P

-and yes I know those rumors about British Knights and Tommy Hilfiger might be false. Hush :)

My favorite Chuck Norris Facts

05 June 2009

I posted this as a note on my Facebook page. Enjoy :)

Today at 12:06am

I'm a Chuck Norris fan and I got these from http://www.chucknorrisfacts.com/ . Here are some of my favorites:

When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.

Chuck Norris does not get frostbite. Chuck Norris bites frost.

Chuck Norris’ hand is the only hand that can beat a Royal Flush.

Chuck Norris is the reason why Waldo is hiding.

Chuck Norris destroyed the periodic table, because he only recognizes the element of surprise.

Chuck Norris uses pepper spray to spice up his steaks.

When Chuck Norris sends in his taxes, he sends blank forms and includes only a picture of himself, crouched and ready to attack. Chuck Norris has not had to pay taxes, ever.

The quickest way to a man's heart is with Chuck Norris' fist.

Chuck Norris is not hung like a horse... horses are hung like Chuck Norris.

Chuck Norris can hit you so hard that he can actually alter your DNA. Decades from now your descendants will occasionally clutch their heads and yell "What The Hell was That?"

When Chuck Norris was denied an Egg McMuffin at McDonald's because it was 10:35, he roundhouse kicked the store so hard it became a Wendy's.

Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoloy card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game UNO.

Chuck Norris grinds his coffee with his teeth and boils the water with his own rage.

Chuck Norris ordered a Big Mac at Burger King, and got one.

Chuck Norris and Mr. T walked into a bar. The bar was instantly destroyed, as that level of awesome cannot be contained in one building.

Chuck Norris can touch MC Hammer.

The last thing you hear before Chuck Norris gives you a roundhouse kick? No one knows because dead men tell no tales.

Chuck Norris once pulled out a single hair from his beard and skewered three men through the heart with it.

Everybody loves Raymond. Except Chuck Norris. (YAY)

The phrase 'dead ringer' refers to someone who sits behind Chuck Norris in a movie theater and forgets to turn their cell phone off.

Chuck Norris once invited all of the other badasses from TV to duke it out in order to see who was the supreme badass. Only two showed up-- Jack Bauer and MacGyver.

Chuck Norris was once in a knife fight, and the knife lost.

Two wrongs don't make a right. Unless you're Chuck Norris. Then two wrongs make a roundhouse kick to the face.

Mr. T pities the fool. Chuck Norris rips the fool's head off.

"Brokeback Mountain" is not just a movie. It's also what Chuck Norris calls the pile of dead ninjas in his front yard.

Chuck Norris is the only man who has, literally, beaten the odds. With his fists.

Chuck Norris once roundhouse-kicked a ten dollar bill into 200 nickels.

Chuck Norris stared evil in the face, and it backed down

Chuck Norris IS RIGHT BEHIND YOU!!! (hee hee)

How Dare He Say, "Cowards!"

My note from Facebook.

Read this first

I agree with Eric Holder. "Oh he didn't say it in a politic way." That is correct; he said it in a "no bullshit" kind of way. I respect that. And he is right. Time to stop basking in the afterglow of the powerful symbolic nature of Obama's election to the presidency. It's time to go to work.
Some believe that such language might alienate people. Yeah, and I think that's part of the cowardice. How should the people respond? Be fucking courageous. Forget about pointing fingers at who is or who is not a racist. It's a waste of time (i.e. Michael Richards's "I'm not a racist." Yet he incorporated a lynching threat towards 2 black men in the audience into a stand up act. And the audience laughed loudly).

Let's talk about institutional racism in real estate, education, prisons, legislation, etc. Let's stop pretending that Martin Luther King Jr. fixed everything. He would be the first to say he didn't. So would many black radicals who were killed, jailed, and/or exiled from the U.S. Let's stop pretending that race does not influence the language we use. Or that racism does not affect the laws passed through our government.

Let's stop applauding Lincoln and look at him critically. His stance on abolition was VERY complicated. How about we examine Thomas Jefferson's views in the Notes on the State of Virginia and observe how many of his statements in these queries are reflected in government policy, social attitudes, Jim Crow, the antagonism towards (brown) immigrants, and the continued (mal)treatment of American Indians. Let's stop pretending that we don't need Affirmative Action.

Great, we have a black president and black attorney general. We also have a majority of black people, Latino peoples, documented and undocumented immigrants in prisons. Most of the poor consists of the same people. Much of our war efforts (and fears) are towards people of color. American corporations that own factories offshore, these sweatshops that use young women of color to produce many of our products for pitiful wages.

George Carlin had it right, y'all.

And WTF is this term, "post-racial?" Sounds just as bad as "post-feminist" if not worse. And purposely misleading.

Valentine's Day

14 February 2009

I haven't blogged in a while and I've been meaning to write one for some time. I was going to have a separate blog for my two semester student exchange here in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, France, but decided not to do it. Why? I can post the same stuff here.

So my first blog in a long time and for 2009 is about Valentine's Day. Or at least the shit that goes with it.

I'm usually one of those people that cringes when February 14th comes around. No significant other for me, everyone (exes and ex-crushes included) has someone to love and celebrate that love on this day. So am I hatin'? Yeah, usually.

This year is different.

I spent VD in Paris. Went to the (historical) Shakespeare & Co. bookstore and then had dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe. Flirted and relaxed. I might have a date next year, but VD 2009? Awesome!

Long Time, No See...Er, Write

19 August 2008

I spent an entire summer on Facebook and ignoring my blog.

There should be a recovery group for people who spend too much time on Facebook playing games like Mob Wars or Pack Rat (my latest addiction).

Oh, I guess there is. Heh.

Plus I'm getting ready for my two semester student exchange to France. More on that later :)

Too much Mob Wars and not enough energy

04 June 2008

I have a Facebook and a Myspace page. Lately, I've spent more time on Facebook playing one of their application games. There are way too many. My latest addiction is a fairly new application called Mob Wars.

Mob Wars (MW) is a game where you start off as a street thug and you steal and fight your way to become a powerful mobster. MW has a gray screen with menu items and you select certain items to either buy weapons, buy property, commit crimes (called "jobs") or fight another mob. The results of those actions are shown on screen in written form: so, you kill another mob boss, it reads, "You killed Al Capone!" or if another mobster puts a hit one you: "You died, losing 50 points." You don't see blood, money, or anything. You respond to written messages.

Now here it gets better. It's an interactive game. So, if you decide to fight another mob(boss), it is another person playing the game. I've played with people all over the world. Many mob bosses have formed "syndicates" to protect their members and war against others. I won't reveal the name of the syndicate to which I belong; suffice to say that it is a powerful syndicate. Right now we are warring with another "family" and we interact with one another through our group's discussion board, inbox messages, and sometimes instant messaging. There is trash talking, joking, vendettas...forgive me, I am having fun.

Here in real life though, I've lost my energy. I don't think I'm having a depressive episode, but I'm close enough to it that if I succumb, I might need to increase my meds. I'm worried about paperwork for my foreign student exchange to France in the fall, I need to clean my extremely dirty apartment, I'm short on cash, and I sleep way too much. I live in Decatur, GA and the weather is fine but I spend a lot of my time inside. I don't know, it seems that the only joy I have is MW even though better things are coming along. I just had a birthday and I feel like people didn't care to wish me a happy birthday (even though several did). I'm not dating, I feel unattractive, fresh fruits and vegetables are waaay to expensive and really, I like junk food. I have a strange pain in my ear right now and bugs are biting me; I have thoughts that each bug bite is poison and I'm gradually succumbing to the poison. I've been slacking off at my job- I'm a student assistant who doesn't do much work and can do pretty much whatever I want, so you know it's bad.

Right now I can't sleep, so I'm watching Forever Knight on Netflix Instant Watch. I forgot some of the cheesy effects on this show. I didn't forget that Geraint Wyn Davies was fine as hell, though!

I'm taking a break because there is this really bad episode- I mean, so bad that I started cursing at the screen. I mean, Geraint is awesome and some of his wigs and hairpieces are a hoot, but some of these female characters...ugh.

I have to be at work by 9am this morning. I'm not sleepy and I doubt that I'll get to sleep before 4am. I have to leave my apartment by 8am. I sleep too much and can't sleep when I need to. Or maybe I don't need sleep yet. I signed back on to Facebook to play MW again, but I realized that I was too tired to do that. Hopefully I'll get tired enough to sleep.

No, not Moonlight!!!

17 May 2008

Alas! I just got word that CBS's Moonlight will not return in the fall. This is one of my favorite shows! I'm so heartbroken, I can't even watch the final episode. Yet.

Moonlight is a casualty of the writers' strike. Low ratings, they say. Argh!!! While I support the writers, I didn't think I would lose my show! Sigh. My love for you always, Mick St. John!!!

I am hopeful- maybe CW will pick it up. Give me my vampires!

I thought the blood drive clinched it. Veronica Mars, Jericho, and now Moonlight. Boycott? Well, maybe so and maybe not. I think that a boycott should not happen because of one show alone, but we should demand programing that we want to see. Why schedule new stuff when I like the stuff you got on??? And shows that suck get renewed.

WTF???
