This is why I’m hot

I’m having a pretty good week. Well, except for having a tooth extracted earlier today (ugh).

At the old spot I mentioned how I was interviewed about my long blog history (a decade in the blog game).

Last week, I left a comment on the (now classic) Beating The Little Hater post at ill Doctrine. Today, Jay Smooth namechecked me and added some perspective:

Damn if he doesn’t always hit the nail on the head. Be sure to check out all the videos on his site. Dude needs a sponsored cable show.

Henry Rollins: “There’s nothing new about homosexuality”

Basically, I am sick of the ignorance, hatred and all the bullshit. The truth that someone is gay is as odd as the fact that someone is straight. It is what it is, there’s nothing new about homosexuality and these people either need to evolve or get the fuck out of the way. If they want to hate, fine but they will have to keep it to themselves or expect complete turbulence from me. It’s insane to me that someone has that kind of time in their day to hate someone for what they can’t help and for what there is absolutely nothing wrong with.

Jami Floyd: “diversity in the newsrooms”

“You can’t have a newsroom that is full of elite privilege. And sometimes that includes — I’ll say it — white men. You can’t have just white men running the news business. You’ve gotta have diversity in the newsrooms.”

Weekly Top Artists - 12/23/07

In which we take a look at how today’s young, black gay men spend their weekends

Video games bring boys & men together better than liquor and weed.

I hate to admit it, but that Bow Wow (with boyfriend Omarion in tow) is starting to look ripe [see: boy crazy]. Also, what’s up with Soulja Boy? I’ve never been able to stomach looking at those “Crank Dat” videos so I never knew what he looked like. Looks like somebody watches too much ANTM.

But what I really want to know is, do these boys eat?

Good thing I don’t date fetuses.

But (allegedly) Chris Stokes and/or Marques Houston do?

Thinking about New Year’s 2008

You know that old adage that whatever you’re doing on New Year’s Eve is the thing you’ll be doing for the rest of the year? Well, it pretty much came to fruition for me in 2007. So in an effort not to spend NYE alone and in the house I’ve been entertaining options.

Thing is, I’ve never liked the idea of going out to a club on New Year’s Eve (crazy crowded, bloated cover, etc.) But since my original idea of a roadtrip are a financial hurdle, I guess I’ll have to get over it.

House Music Gone Wild has most of my attention. It’s hard to go wrong with Kai Alce and Ron Pullman at the helm of the turntables.

Also, The Devil Stole The Beat is hosting Fitter. Happier. at Cypress Street (formerly Toast). Tessa of DriveAFasterCar.com is one of the DJs.
