Friday, October 31, 2008 what happened to us? this story found at alternet.org explains it all. The Triumph of Ignorance: How Morons Succeed in U.S. Politics | Permalink Wednesday, October 29, 2008 McNuggetshere's one from Mathu Andersen:here's one from DJ Tennessee: and one from Sin Sonatty: | Permalink Tuesday, October 28, 2008 cool & the gang over the weekend, i finally saw "Cool Hand Luke" in it's entirety and immediately added it to my list of all-time favorite films. the film is about hero worship and conformity. on top of that, i think it's probably the sexiest all male non-porn i've ever seen. of the films i've seen this year, here are my favorites: 1. Hamlet 2 2. Moby Dick 3. You Don't Mess With The Zohan 4. Cool Hand Luke 5. Religulous 6. Sex and the City 7. Forgetting Sarah Marshall 8. Baby Mama 9. Iron Man 10. Mamma Mia | Permalink Saturday, October 25, 2008 "you're not recording this, are you?" for a full year prior to Bruce McCoy inviting me to the Janet Jackson concert, i had been on a huge Janet kick... and by huge Janet kick i mean, playing her music everyday and even revisiting her older album cuts. i've always enjoyed her music, but not in the feverish way i've been obsessing over it this past year.  what's emerged from my intense study of her catalog is a greater respect for her as a musician and songwriter. the melodies, the vocal pads & layering, the tone & sweetness of her voice are all qualities that she brings consistently. even on her latest album "Discipline", on which she didn't write any of the songs, she delivers a solid pop masterpiece. yes, i said masterpiece. don't believe the critics. pop music doesn't get much better than this. her low record sales are due to an ever dwindling demographic who participates in the music buying experience. people between the ages of 11 and 29 buy music. the average age at the concert was 35.  as my admiration for her as a musician grew, i had simultaneously become disenchanted with her public persona and her wimpy handling of "nipplegate". i was disappointed that she hadn't taken the opportunity to publicly let the FCC have it when it came to our culture's double standard over sexuality and violence. whether she planned to expose her breast on the live Super Bowl broadcast or not, the critical beating she took in it's wake was very telling and uncalled for. when Madonna was extremely criticized for "crossing the line" in her photo book "Sex", she went on the live news program "Nightline" to eloquently set the record straight. in doing so, she educated a whole generation about feminism, gender double standards, and the "free pass" our society has given to violent images. in my opinion, it was her most shining moment.  Janet may have missed the opportunity to become a feminist role model, but she sure let the children have it at the Staples Center September 17th. hit after hit, she was in fine form! that show had to have been over 90 minutes. it was really, truly amazing. i'm still reeling from it over a month later. it was the kind of concert where you stand and dance the whole time. Bruce had awesome floor seats, 7 rows from the stage. when Bruce, John, Tom & i floated out of there, we all felt as if we were officially part of The Rhythm Nation. | Permalink Friday, October 24, 2008 i see your monkey & raise you 2i sent Mathu the "chimp riding a Segway" link and he sent me these fabulous clips.| Permalink Tuesday, October 21, 2008 THE ZEITGEIST 2 Hi, Ru. Since you loved and referred everyone to part 1, I thought you'd be interested (and excited, like I am) to know part II was released on Oct. 3rd: ZEITGEIST: ADDENDUM you can go to moviesfoundonline.com to watch this 2-hr doc, which has SOLUTIONS to the first part, after fully explaining the monetary system and globalization. It's very deep, so watch when you have time, of course. You'll love the "civilized society" proposal/vision. Live in Love, Dorian. | Permalink pillar of stone On Oct 21, 2008, Scott wrote: I am uncertain as to what you mean on your blog..."you can look but don't stare" Ru writes: it's important to look into the eyes of darkness, but don't stare... as you may become seduced. | Permalink keeping it real in the past, i've confessed to becoming obsessed with certain unlikely male sex symbols. Ed O'Neill, Michael Rapaport, Ernie Hudson & Michael Richards have all been the object of my not so secret desire. here lately, i've added a new hot bitch to my wish list... Jason Segel. ever since i saw "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" on a flight to JFK, i can't get him out of my friggin' head. i even had a dream about him 2 nights ago. i fuckin' love this sexy MF! | Permalink Monday, October 20, 2008 you can look, but don't stare ok, listen. i know it's very dangerous territory, but after so much traveling and exposure, i felt compelled to dip into it just a little bit over the weekend. every year around this time, i start sleeping 8 to 10 hours and i also find it very difficult to go out and see other people. yes, 'tis the season where i instinctively want to lower the blinds and hibernate... usually not popping my head out until Groundhog's Day on February 2nd. trouble is, i've got way too much above ground work to do in preparation for "RuPaul's Drag Race", which debuts on February 2nd. on top of that, recovering from such self-indulgent behavior isn't as easy as it might seem at the onset. during this unholy sabbatical, i usually revisit "the dark night of the soul", which is kinda cute & clever in your 20's, therapeutic in your 30's, but downright deadly once you've pasted 40. the bounce back factor is utterly humiliating because of the loss of so much elasticity. so not worth the ticket price. so, on this monday morning, i will soldier through my desire for cloud cover and welcome "the sunlight of the spirit" with open arms and a fake smile. because at this stage in the game, i know that "acting as if" is the next best thing to being there. carry on. | Permalink Saturday, October 18, 2008 Kima, Keisha & Pam| PermalinkFriday, October 17, 2008 city of angels dusti'm really happy to be back in LA. very disoriented from traveling so much, but i'll be fine in a day or two.i saw 20 minutes of the first episode of Drag Race yesterday and i started to tremble because it was so effin awesome. i hadn't seen a single frame until then, so i was completely gobsmacked by the gorgeousness. it was like seeing the ultra-sound of my unborn child for the first time. prognosis: it's a boy!...and a girl! last month, after i saw Delta Werks lipsync "yes sir, i can boogie", i asked DJ Tennessee who recorded it. he said "it's by Baccara and if you love the song, you'll think the video is a riot." he was right. absolutely superb. simply the best. i wonder if the producer ever heard of a little diddy called "don't leave me this way" by Thelma Houston? | Permalink Monday, October 13, 2008 in case you forgot |
