Alright, after a few days of tear jerking, instead of my usual kind of jerking I started to research the history of the song that was recommended to me by my Youtube (I was browsing Christmas songs for new things, Clarkson's "Grown up Christmas List" is on my playlist as well). I found out it is ranked as the worst Christmas song ever by several people and Gawker.com As a gay man, yes, overly Christian dogma is scary, but I really don't get that from this song even though the band that wrote it was "christian". Reading the comments, it seems like most people think the song is too far fetched or extreme cynics are wondering why doesn't the kid stay by his mother's side if she's dying or that he is merely trying to con money off the good man in the story. Here's the point that I think people are missing when judging this song, so what if the story is far fetched? or you are being conned? Does it matter? Our world is filled with deceit, lies, and backstabbing with kids that can grab a gun as young as 7-8. How far fetched is it to have a caring child attempt to do a small deed for their dying parent versus a kid with a grudge grabbing a gun and taking down his tormentors? A coin has two sides and so does childhood naivete, but people focus far more on the negative than they do on what is potential in everyone for both. Personally, if there is one chance to do something good, it is still worth helping someone out. If a kid really is trying to get something special for their dying parent, who among us would say no to helping. If he were putting it up as an act, then bravo, he won the Oscars for my sympathy vote. .

Should I feel jealous? Also, the reason why causality hasnt seen new chapters is this story in my head that needs to be written.

Let's all just agree that fact is only as true as what people want to believe Tom Daley is Bi or not Bi, Real Crosscurrent vs. Unreal Crosscurrent, and me being a carefree dog or a cynical gay guy with a taste for life are facts and fictions. No one person's reality is the same as another, but we share common traits that allows us to appreciate ourselves and each other.

Ehh....to each their own, but I can't really picture anything sexy about those guys. Power stopped being sexy, when everyone got into it

Sort of read one, maybe I will read the other, but it is my choice I liked It Started with Brian, but prefer other classics like Brian's Destruction more .(Yes, I plugged for Dewey's beautiful saga) Think about it this way Tim, people, who have an attraction to their own gender are yearning for someone to be a role model for them. Unless you like "Queer Eye" and "Glee", there are few living heroes around that people can identify with, nothing against those that like mainstream media portrayals though At the end of the day, people might want to be individuals, but they do want a hero, a champion, or someone they can look up to. Athletes have been that for centuries and when a major athlete reveals a key detail that they can identify with, then everyone who shares it want to bask in his glow.

Scrooge & Marley is a gay adaptation of the classic "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens, if you the idea of a gay scrooge

All the next generation game systems are now out, so what do people think? I am a Playstation user, but I will freely admit to like the Xbox for certain games. Wii is too casual for me. Now as a warning don't turn this thread into this: http://youtu.be/NYbs0firps8

Wow $6 billion that is one heavy hangover, especially since Applebees only brings in less than $3 billion every year On the flip side, Anheuser-Busch, owner of the Budweiser brand, and Coors are probably going to record normal sales, because whether it comes free or not from a restaurant, somebody paid for the rounds Here's the snope article, it's an urban legend Banger http://www.snopes.com/politics/satire/applebees.asp

Oh Wow! I liked J. Edgar and Milk Age difference does not really matter, 19 or 39 as long as they love each other, it is all that is needed.

Fine, I won't name the Chinese provinces or muni's as certain things are too "political" I remember our elementary school teachers throwing out old maps in 1997 after we finally got funding for new maps. There were so many "SR's" on those maps, I wonder how many kids had to learn with those old maps of Europe. Does anyone remember Yugoslavia ever existed anymore? (My teacher gave me one of those and told me it'd be fun to look at when I get older, ) Anyone else remember those old maps? If you do, it is not an issue of education, but educational reaction time.

I thought 6 was watchable, but I tend to agree, most of the sequels were crap. On the other hand, Pleasantville was a great movie and it was fun to see the contrast in color (on several levels). I bought the DVD in college for $5 iat a clearance sales and my roommates didn't get why I bought that movie, until I showed them. It was an underrated classic that few people acknowledged at its time.

Let's all just say that we're glad he has diverse interests and leave it like that As long as the relationship is healthy, loving, and happy for both participants, straight/gay/bi does not matter. Labels are what researchers and marketers like to pigeon hole in demographic research based on defined traits. Unless you are making a living at marketing KY Jelly and Trojans or are a pollster, you don't need to break people up into neat little subgroups. There's a principle that few people (including myself) ever really pay attention to, there is no such thing as a "model answer" to who you are. I am incredibly happy for him with a slight bit of jealousy towards his lucky boyfriend. Now here's the next question, who is his boyfriend? "Looks around the room for the elephant" Come on guys, he never said his name and now I have many fears that another eligible famous potential gay bachelor could be taken

Outside of Fast and Furious, let me also add that he was in another movie I liked: Varsity Blues. (Yes, I like derivative American Football movies)

R.I.P Great Actor, but his career was shadowed by the Fast and Furious franchise I have always heard that life imitates art, but going out like that seems to give a whole new meaning.

But that's the point, the world is made up of consequences and impossible choices. The game is fun because you're not just killing zombies like dead rising or in a weird place like bioshock that happens too, but your life and the lives of other characters in the game have meaning to how it progresses. Straight up zombie/ghost/monster shooters or atmosphere is scary, but making a bad choice is the scariest of all.

New favorite game is walking dead...so tragic and human, it is like the show as a video game. I couldn't save any of them I usually hate tv/movie video games, but seriously I think this is the best and all you moral choices come back to haunt you. It is not about the tv characters, but the universe of the walking dead. Also good is the video game last of us, if you like the genre and zombies .

I just went through my annual performance review, today. I didn't know what to expect to be honest; I knew I did well, kept costs down, increased cash overall by about 35%, and made some damn good projections of receivables based on historical data. I also maintained a tight leash on state based tax agencies and hounded them for refunds due to technicalities of our rate adjustment versus their standard rate that we were automatically paying based on employees. (Tax stuff, but basically, if an employer has a better handle on employee turnover, your rate should be lower for withholding in state taxes. The problem was that our rate was lowered years ago, but several states had been charging us more.) Anyway, I was hoping for maybe getting a small pay increase and/or bonus for all I did, but instead, I got.....a 20% salary increase!!!!!! Christ sake, it is more than $10K to my salary and I don't know what to feel. It's an early Christmas present for me
