The Beer Bar

Teenage boys sitting on each other’s laps, exchanging back rubs and dolling out hugs: This was the sight that researcher Mark McCormack found when he went to a British high school to research masculinity. http://www.salon.com/2012/02/22/is_homophobia_disappearing/ Sounds very interesting, still reading.

http://www.newscientist.com/blogs/shortsharpscience/2012/02/plankton-fueled-ocean-eddy-is.html?DCMP=OTC-rss&nsref=online-news This is amazing. I guess this happens frequently and it's natures way of bringing nutrients from the deep up to the surface.

I'm not sure what the author is basically trying to say from this book and I don't think she is an introvert either.. She tries too hard to categorize so many historical figures into a certain personality type wihout considering other factors. I agree with her on that American culture is unique and different. So how? She states that american culture promotes and motivates extroverts but I look at it in a slightly different view. It just seems that way because extroverts are just loud and out there. There are many introverts quietly do their share and lead the country. It just seems that extroverts dominates everything but that's not necessary true. Another thing is her cr…

JAZZ FM in the UK aired 5 minutes of gay porn last night (by accident). http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2012/02/20/radio-station-aired-five-minutes-of-gay-porn/ I suspect some technician was watching gay porn at work and hit the transmit button by accident. How embarrassing.

I've often been tempting to react to the A&F huger than life posters in the mall as well. . .

Hitoallusa has been posting here for a while and he always keeps an upbeat positive attitude. It is really refreshing and enlightening. Thank you for being a member and keeping all of us in good spirits!

Since I now have an escort within my book-ends whom I believe will be a respectable individual for me to bring to such an honorable weekend event such as this - please consider me in! I'm excited to meet the members here and I'm also looking forward to meeting new friends as well. I feel compelled to offer my resources, whatever they might be to the hosts, to make this weekend the very best weekend of them all. Please let me know how I can contribute to this weekend to being the most memorial and fun of them all!

Anyone here use the Rhapsody music service? I'm thinking why do I care if I own a song or record these days when I can have them for as long as I want at $10. x month? Lets see $120. a year for unlimited music or $120. to purchase about 120 songs on iTunes....? Growing up and even for many years after I had a huge record collection ... over 10,000 which I sold over the years. Mostly because I became tired of storing them or lugging them around when I moved. I experimented with different services amd did try Rhapsody but they were new and did not have their act together. Now I'm thinking of giving their 14 day free trial a spin. Any feedback or other services you guys …

Good bye....

This is actually cute. Taylor taught Zac how to play the guitar and they wrote a little song for Ellen DeGeneres.

"We had a brief conversation with his teachers: Our son is identifying as gay. We don't think there's anything wrong with that or with him. And this is the only acceptable opinion on the subject." When Your 7-Year-Old Son Announces, 'I'm Gay' Here's hoping middle and high school don't destroy him!

After 3 seasons, "Blue Mountain State", the homoerotic sitcom on SpikeTV was cancelled. It was fun fluff to watch.

Ok, it ain't got squat to do with gay, but I just find it exceedingly cool scientists have brought back to life seeds frozen for 30,000 years in a squirrel burrow in the Siberian permafrost. Kind of pretty, for a thirty thousand year old plant.

Lindsay Lohan will return to Stage 8H on March 3 to host Saturday Night Live for the fourth time. The actress, 25, will be joined by musical guest Jack White. The hosting gig will mark one of Lohan's first on-screen appearances in months. She most recently posed for the cover of Playboy for the January/ February 2012 issue, and last appeared on the big screen in the 2010 film Machete. Earlier this year, it was reported that Lohan was "in talks" to play Elizabeth Taylor in an upcoming Lifetime TV movie based on the actress' life. Lohan is currently on probation for driving under the influence and shoplifting, but her probation could end as early as next month, according …

Rihanna, Chris Brown reunite with not one, but two songs http://lat.ms/yKRB8F This will upset a lot of Rihanna fans who have never forgiven Chris Brown for beating her up a few years ago before the Grammy's. While Chris Brown has done everything the court has ordered, it still feels to me that he doesn't take ownership for what he has done. If I were him or if I were one of his PR people, I would have him do PSA on domestic violence to show how wrong it is and how anyone who is a victim should seek out help. But I still think he is too immature to fully understand the ramifications of what he has done.

By Ben Forer | ABC News – Thu, Feb 16, 2012 12:21 PM EST.. Mars Cutting King-Size Candy (ABC News) Hungry? Starting in 2013 you'll have to grab a slightly smaller Snickers. Mars Inc., which makes M&Ms, Twix, MilkyWay and many other notable candies, told Reuters that by the end of next year it would not sell any chocolate products that had more than 250 calories. That means the more than 500 calorie "King Size" Snickers bar will become extinct, along with other "King Size" goodies. Mars told NPR the company planned to replace "King Size" candy with bags of smaller bars. According to NPR, the company said it wants to "enable sharing or saving a portion for later…

So many things come to mind with this picture. Daddy daddy daddy. . .

My biggest reality show guilty pleasure is the Amazing Race. Did anyone happen to catch last night's season premier? While I don't spot the token gay team (i don't think there is one this year) there are identical twin brothers that can turn me into their husbands really quick And if you're into muscle there are a couple well built guys as well.

So it took more than two hours just to cook dinner, eat and clean up for just two people. I have dinner for tomorrow so I don't have to cook but it takes a lot of time to just to eat decent dinner. How do you guys manage your meal? I usually have a cup of oat meal for breakfast and eat whatever that is close by for lunch and eat prepared food for dinner if I'm really busy.

Target is figuring things out about you before your family does... how long 'till it's before you know yourself?

In case you are interested, here is one of the first pictures taken of Beyoncé and her baby Blue Ivy Carter. JayZ is the father.

So I made a shameful admission in another thread, and that got me to wondering. Since so many LGBT movies are god-awful (yet many watch them religiously anyway...), what are the very best? I'm guessing Brokeback is fairly high on the list? I've also heard good things about A Single Man, I think... but the first time I tried to see it I bought A Serious Man instead... @#$%! That I've actually seen, and especially in the realm of big budget and mainstream appeal, I'd suggest V for Vendetta has an incredibly touching story tucked inside it, though it may be more powerful in the original comic. Of course Philadelphia; And the Band Played On (seen those two too!). Bu…
