Hilarious Hal

If you have not seen Hal Sparks’ stand up routine, you are missing something extra special. His new special on Showtime, Charmageddon, is fucking hilarious and the best I have seen in a long time. He ranks right up there with Kathy Griffin, Whoopi and Ellen.

He is cutting, to the point, and to use his own term “coarse,” but everything he says rings so true and his delivery and timing makes the truths he speaks utterly entertaining. If you can’t catch his show on Showtime, a DVD will be released at the end of June.

I’m a Gleek

Everyone is talking about Glee. It is everywhere and being parodied everywhere. I swore I would never watch another high school drama. I left my high school drama days behind with Dawson’s Creek, however The Vampire Dairies sucked me right back in last fall. With Glee getting more and more buzz, I decided I should check it out and see exactly what the fuss is all about.

Well, I am hooked. It was kind of odd to start with, but the second I saw Matthew Morrison lying shirtless in bed things started to look up. As the first episode unfolded it began to shed light on things long since buried. I found that I could identify with every one of the glee club members. I was the misfit, the fat kid, the kid who marched to the beat of a drum that no one else could hear, the queer, the invisible one — only to be recognized when being the butt of a joke. By the end of the episode I was in tears. If there would’ve been a “Glee” club when I was in high school things could have been so different, but those days were so different.

Who Influences Lady Gaga?

I have long admired Deepak Chopra and his way of thinking and the realm of infinite possibility. Who knew that he is the most influential person in Lady Gaga’s life?

David Cook Has Great Genes (Jeans)

David Cook is, in my estimation, the greatest and most talented musician that American Idol has produced.

Not only was he blessed with great genes that bestowed on him a crazy insanely hot voice, but also the goods to fill out a pair of jeans. Great genes jeans, David!

Charlie David Looking Hot

While there hasn’t been any progress on the production of a fourth season of Dante’s Cove since it was announced last year by here! Networks, Charlie David sure does still look super sexy and cute with the scruffy and hairy look.

Charlie mentioned on his Facebook page in March 2010 that season four still had not been filmed and he wasn’t sure when it would actually happen.

Hey, There’s Horses in Them There Dreams

It’s been awhile since I’ve added to the dream journal! I’ve never dreamed of horses before, but suddenly two appeared in a dream.

I was sitting at the kitchen table and was watching a horse, that I gathered was mine, playing in the backyard. It made its way into the neighbor’s yard to play with their ox. Of course, they do not have an ox. I was worried about the mess they would make.

Suddenly, the horse was charging down towards the house and stuck its head through the kitchen window next to me. He was brown and quite energetic and almost wild, but not in a ferocious way. I cautiously moved towards him and reached to pet him. He responded and was very amiable and playful. I told him, “I think your name will be Yes.” I had the sensation from him that he loved it and could almost hear him say, “I am glad you named me Yes.” Then he quickly withdrew and went off into the yard.

After he left, another horse came along and stuck her head through the window. She was black and her demeanor was much different. She was very docile and didn’t seem to be as energetic as the black horse. I would even say that I felt from her that she was depressed. I petted her and she seemed frail. “Your name is Mare,” I said. I “heard” no answer from her like I did with Yes, only deep distress. I had an overwhelming feeling of deep sorrow and sadness. At that point I woke and found myself tearing and saying, “How sad, how very, very sad…” as I became aware of my surroundings.

His Day, His Time, His Momment: He’s Gay

So Ricky Martin is gay. This is as about as shocking as saying the ocean is made up of water. Everyone is abuzz since Ricky posted a message on his Web site officially coming out to the world. But as with many a celebrity before him, there is no shock associated with it.

I knew it from the moment I first saw him on General Hospital. Barbara Walters knew it too and pressed him on it, yet later regretted doing so. So today is his day and his moment and I say good for him.

Read the story on his site. Once there, scroll down the page for the English version.

First Day of Spring is First Shirtless Day

This year the first day of spring seemed to be the first shirtless day. Usually cold and in the 50s, it was sunny and a balmy 75. I think every guy in the neighborhood came out from winter hibernation and ripped off his shirt, myself included. The guy next door did yard work. The guy down the street sat on his porch steps. The guys across the way took their shirts off and played basketball.

Sitting and taking in the views I began to think about this strange male behavior. On the first warm and sunny day after winter passes, males — young, old, fit, fat — take their shirts off and bare their chests to the world. It’s not like it’s talked about or planned… “Hey dude, tomorrow is gonna be really warm and sunny. I think it should be the first shirtless day. Whatdoyawanna do?” Some say it’s because guys don’t like to be hot or it’s just more comfortable being shirtless. Others say guys just want to show off that they are “men.”

All are valid and can be true for some, but I think there is something more instinctive and primal to it that drives guys to wanting to be shirtless, especially outside. You go out and it just feels right and so the shirt comes off. There is something about the caress of the wind and warmth of the sun on your naked skin that is hard to explain.
