The Big Gay Jay Show

 

 

 

 

Hello everyone!!!!  This week’s blog is going to be filled with my current obsessions.  Let’s get started because I have lots of them.

 

 

My 1^st item is a television show about a terrorist group of serial killers called “The Following”.  This amazingly well thought out vehicle stars Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy.  However, it is filled with many great performers.  If you have missed shoe, you really need to watch it.  It is filled with excitement, drama, thrills and a great, original story. 

 

For my taste, two performers are above the rest.  One is a bad guy, Jacob Wells.  This character was done by Nico Tortorella.  He was able to play this budding serial killer with a heart.  I ended up rooting for him to survive the inevitable meltdown of the group.  Of course as usual, he is not bad looking.

 

If he looks familiar, you may recognize him from Scream 4.  His star is just beginning to rise.  I can’t wait for the next season, which I hope he will still be there.  I also can’t wait for his future projects.

 

For the good boys, there is none other than Ryan Hardy fan, FBI Agent Mike Weston.  Mike Weston is masterfully played by Shawn Ashmore.  He’s beaten to pulp.  He’s lost his cool.  He’s been held hostage. Shawn Ashmore has gone from almost naive to bitter to cool streetwise.  His character is a great sidekick to Kevin Bacon’s Ryan Hardy.

 

Does Shawn Ashmore look familiar to you?  He played Iceman in the “X-Men” movies and will be reprising the role in the upcoming “X-Men: Days of Future Past”.  He’s also got a great future ahead.  He’s great as an action hero and when he gets a little order, I think he will be able to carry them on his own. For now, I can just hope there is more “Following” and more “X-Men”.

 

Let’s go onto my movie review this week.  I went and saw “The Big Wedding”.  This movie stars Robert De Niro, Susan Sarandon, Diane Keaton, Topher Grace, Katherine Heigl, Robin Williams and Amanda Seyfried.  The film was very well written and funny.  The whole cast shine and do a fantastic job.  It is kind of predictable, but it is fun to watch even though you know what’s coming next.

 

The character for me was Alejandro, the adopted son getting married.  He was played beautifully, by Ben Barnes.  Ben Barnes is, of course, easy on the eyes, but as usual, I like someone with talent.  He’s definitely my Beef Cake.

If he looks familiar, he played Prince Caspian in “The Chronicles of Narnia” second and third movie.  He’s young and hasn’t had many roles, but I see more coming his way. I wish he was coming my way.  I could teach him some new talented skills.

 

How could I mention this film without glowing about Amanda Seyfried?  This woman has grown in her acting over the years and is my Belle of the Ball.

 

She is beautiful.  She is talented.  She is young.  She has played comedy, drama, thrillers and musicals.  What can’t she do?  I first noticed her as one of the plastics in “Mean Girls”.  After several television appearances, she amazed me in “Alpha Dog”, “Mamma Mia”, “Red Riding Hood” and “Les Miserables”.  She is simply amazing and deserves all of these roles and more.  I don’t see her slowing down anytime soon and I see her being America’s Newest Sweetheart.

 

 

Speaking of American things, have you been watching the boys of summer?  I am obsessed with the Kansas City Royals.  I am from Kansas City and will always be a Kansas City Royals fan.  It has been hard to be Royals fans since they haven’t been in the playoffs since 1985.  I know the season is early but it is looking good.

 

The team has a great pitching staff.  They seem to be a more unified unit.  I actually have been enjoying their games a lot.  Alex Gordon is a monster player, but you can’t win a team sport by yourself.  Moustaka, Franceour, Hosmer, Butler, Escobedo and Cain have had really great times at bat this year and their defensive play is best in the league in my biased opinion.  The team looks really good at going to the playoffs.  I will keep watching and praying.

 

Seeing how I have to pick a favorite of the team to be my dream guy.  It is a tough choice.  I wouldn’t kick any of them out of bed for eating crackers.  With that said, I have to pick Jeff Franceour “Frenchie”.  He seems to have a lot of fun on the field.  He’s got a great arm with accurate precision.  He’s not a great hitter but he’s the worse either.  He’s very handsome and so doable. If only he would dump that girl that hangs around him, I could so make him happy.  At least for one night, that is

 

Last but not least, I’m going to Shine the Rainbow on my You Tube obsession. Joseph Birdsong.  He’s a young gay man from Mississippi that has some very funny videos for your humor.  He’s also real good with “your dad” jokes.  I can’t do them justice, but you should watch him just for those.  He’s also single and kind of cute so shower him with words of love and affection.  I would, but it would kind of be pedophiliac if I did.  Bottom line, watch his videos and have yourself a good life.

 

There you have this week’s blog. Until next week, May all your drinks be mixed well and heavily poured

The Big Gay Jay Show

 



Hello all of my faithful readers.  This past week has been filled with different, wonderful and horrific events.  The kids of America are going to their proms.  Tom Cruise had a good movie opening with Oblivion. Of course, the most horrible thing was the bombing in Boston, but the greatest was how “Boston’s Finest” quickly apprehended the culprits.

 

I went to dinner with friends this past Friday.  As we were making our way to a lovely Italian dinner, my gaze was suddenly assaulted by sequence, taffeta and glitter.  It seemed like a hundred teen beauty queens on parade with their exquisite Project Runway inspired dresses.  The colors of the rainbow flew by me it giant Pride Flag being streamed down Main St for Pride.

 

Seeing all the boys in their tuxedos brought back memories of my Senior Prom and high school.  My prom was in 1988.  The theme, if I can remember, was “We’ve had the Time of our Lives”.  I’m sure the committee thought that was a great idea.  Looking back, it had to be one of the worst.  However, we had a good time.

 

All I can remember about the night is that there was way too much Hair Band music playing.  I imbibed in too much drink or other substances.  I know there was an after party, but not sure what really happened there.  I do know I had a good time and my dates name was Heather, but couldn’t tell you her last name. 

 

My date was picked by my friends.  I knew I was gay then and didn’t ask anyone to go with me.  The girl was actually a sophomore that was arranged by my friends to go with me.  I would have rather taken Tony Danza, Scott Baio, Rob Stone, John Bon Jovi or Ralph Macchio.  However, it would have been frowned up then.

 

Now more and more schools are open to the idea of same sex couples going to prom.  It’s so nice to see the change in the wind.  It’s also nice to hear the young LGBT talk about how they loved high school and weren’t tortured by Neanderthal numbskulls.  How they were accepted which is a far cry from LGBT my ages experience.  I guess we went through it for a reason.

 

So for all those LGBT teens out there, I hope you have the Time of your Life just like I did 25 years ago, but I hope you are more stylish then we were. I wonder if anyone Lady GaGa’d their prom outfit.  That would have been cool.

 

Now how about some Beef Cake and options for my Big Gay Prom!  Here we go!!!

 

Let’s start with the man who should have been People’s Sexiest Man Alive, Ryan Gosling.  He’s so hot.  His body is great and he looks like he can move on the dance floor and off the dance floor as well.  We fell in love with him in “The Notebook”.  I mean who wouldn’t fall in love with him.  Did you see him kiss Rachel McAdams?  It was one of the hottest kisses I had ever seen.

 

If that wasn’t enough, what about the rest of his body of work and I do mean body.  Did you see his chiseled abs in Crazy Stupid Love, which should have gotten him
Sexiest Man Alive.  Then you really saw his acting chops in “The Ides of March”.  Don’t even try to forget his turn at an action film, “Gangster Squad”.  He’s an awesome actor and I can’t to see more of him without his shirt.

 

  

My second option would be someone funny.  Someone I am guaranteed I would have good time being around.   I do like them a little quirky sometime, but they still have to be cute.  This is why I would pick “Scott Evil” a.k.a. Seth Green.  The most adorable red head I have ever laid eyes on.

 

I fell in love with Seth Green many many moons ago when he starred on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” has Wolman, Oz.  He was so very cool and so cute.  He further enticed me in the Austin Powers films and I looked forward to seeing him more than seeing Mike Myers.  He continued to have roles in some of my favorite films like “Can’t Hardly Wait”, “Idle Hands” and “Knockaround Guys”.  However, he solidified himself in my heart with being Chris Griffin on Family Guy and one of the geniuses behind Robot Chicken.

 

Well, I have fantasized about the funny man and the hot man.  How about my last guy that could take me to prom?  I need a real entertainer and someone that I know would be attentive.  Someone that could keep the party going and my friends smiling while making sure I was in the spotlight.  That person would be none other than the hottest and best talent show host, Nick Cannon.

 

Talk about entertaining.  Nick is the reason I watch America’s Got Talent.  He is by far the best host on television.  If they were all smart, they would get Nick to do The Voice and American Idol as well.  He keeps the viewer’s happy with funny off the cuff remarks and keeps the show flowing.

 

He knows how to treat a lover, show them affection, let them shine in the spotlight and be attentive.  I mean Mimi a.k.a. Mariah Carey has taught him well.  They seem to have blast being together.  She has also made me believe that I can have younger man as well. However, we will keep this fantasy only because Mimi is crazy and will cut a b*&#$ for touchin’ her man.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Those are some picks I would have a dream Senior Prom.  I’m waiting for my wrist corsage fellas.

 

 Sorry so short readers but this past week has been very draining.  I attempt to pour out a whole new issue with the best tidbits on Sunday. 

 

Here’s some bare-chested celebrities to keep you happy.

 

 

 

May drinks always be filled and poured heavily!!!!!

The Big Gay Jay Show

 

Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls!!!  I have some really good stuff today.  Since it is very windy where I am today, I am calling this by Big Blow Out Edition.  I have a new Breakdown to share.  You will never guess my Beef Cake pick.  I have a new Belle of the Ball for your reading pleasure and a movie Review, plus so much more.  Lets hop on the good foot and get this party started.

 

 

As we all know by now that I enjoy watching fashion shows like Project Runway and Fashion Star, thanks to Target I have come up with my new fashion color names for my plus size clothing line for women.  If Target has the balls to put a dress out in “Manatee Gray”, I think I can offer some new cooler choices as well.  Take for instance the stunning Blue Whale Blue.  You pick this lovely shade up for spring.  It’s not only a dress but a tent pavilion.  If that doesn’t suit you, you can pick up Elephant Tusk Ivory.  This color will go good for special occasion.  If earthy is your color tone, I would definitely buy the Brown Bear Tan.  Of course everyone should pick up that little Bovine Black dress because the color is so slimming. 

I know I’m a little behind in the rant but really Target, I thought you were classier.  This seems like something Wal-Mart would do.  I never expected you to be so insensitive. What the hell is going on that you must lash out in this way?  Are we not paying enough attention to you?  What are you a spoiled rotten child?

 

Speaking of spoiled rotten children, I have no idea who to be angrier at the politicians or the NRA or gun toting lunatics.  Guns are being brought into public places and being used to kill innocent people.  We don’t feel safe at school, at a mall or even a movie theatre and when it happens, the gun toting idiots are the first ones on the television talking about how the police didn’t do their jobs and how the psychos who killed these people should have been stopped before it got that far.  The same idiots then offer their services to come to such areas (especially schools) with their arsenal to help keep the place safe.  My brother is an administrator at a school and he can attest that did happen.

We have the chance now to do some real work at limiting this craziness.  However, the NRA, the godfather of the gun toting lunatics, wants to make sure that we are not infringing on their second amendment right.  They feel like they should be able to buy any weapon they want and when they want it.  They want little to know restrictions on this measure.  In fact, I’ve had conversations with a few of these people and they would prefer if we were set back in the ole west when everyone had a gun and everyone was shooting everyone.

The bleeding heart liberals, of whom I am, a part want more restrictions.  Why not have a more in depth universal back ground check including mental illness background done at gun shows, gun stores and so on?   It makes me believe that people against this measure, which is a no brainer to me, are people that would fail getting a weapon and deservedly so.  If you have a mental illness be it depression, ADHD, paranoia and so on, you shouldn’t have a gun.  Which I guess that is why the NRA is against it because then no one would have a gun and they would be shut down. 

I also don’t understand why they need semi-automatic or automatic weapons.  They act like we are at war.  Thank you, “Walking Dead” because you have given these gun toting lunatics a fallback answer. My gun toting idiot friends are now worried about a zombie apocalypse and feel they need all of these guns.  I guess the Walking Dead people would be republican gun toting enthusiasts which

is probably why I hate the show and call for it to be canceled.

Now for you that don’t know the second amendment states this and this only, “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” I just want people to realize that we already have a regulated militia for the security of a free state.  We call it the military.  This is something we didn’t have when the founding fathers wrote our constitution and we relied on the citizens to have their own weapons because when we called on them we wouldn’t have to supply them with weapons.

Don’t get wrong.  I believe the majority of our forefathers were forward thinking people.  I don’t believe that everyone should give up their guns.  I just believe in a stricter background check and longer waiting period for the person to get their guns.  I also don’t see why anyone needs semi or automatic weapons for hunting or protection.  Those weapons are just for killing period.

 

 

Movie Review Time

I have gone to see the movie “42”.  This movie is simply wonderful.  It is by far the best movie I have seen thus far in 2013.  The writing is spot on and, though racism is an ugly thing, it is beautifully captured in this film.  I was raised by a forwarded thinking Southern Midwest white woman who   She ingrained this in mind so much that it pains me to hear it.  I disliked rap music because every other word is the “N” word.  I saw “Django Unchained” and deeply disturbed my viewing because of the over use of the word.  I knew going into this film that they would use the word and I prepared myself for it.  They used the word and they used a lot.  However, the film would have lost its sting if it hadn’t used the word; just Django Unchained had to use the word and the beating to show the brutality of slavery so that story could progress.  “42” used it in every form that you can think and didn’t fantastically, not to where I won’t cringe when I hear it, but I think enough to lose some more of its power.

raised me to never use the “N” word.

Harrison Ford is perfect as Branch Rickey, the man who plucked Jackie from the KC Monarchs to bring up to the big leagues.  At times, I forgot I was watching Harrison Ford.  He did such a fantastic job at playing this person and really helped bring the grit of the story.  Harrison should get an Oscar Nomination for Best Supporting Actor for this film.  He was simply amazing and spellbinding.

The star of the film is Chadwick Boseman.  He played Jackie Robinson and was amazing as well.  You definitely felt the good and the bad from him.  He showed some real good acting chops.  His career is going to take off now and it should.  He was great.

The cast includes TR Knight from “Grey’s Anatomy”, Nicole Beharie “American Violet”, Christopher Meloni “OZ”, Lucas Black “Jarhead” and Andre Holland “Bride’s War”.  If you don’t know them, go to IMDB.com and look to see what amazing work they have done.  Though they and the remaining cast had smaller parts, they were intricate to the story and done very well. 

If you haven’t yet, you need to go see “42”.  Take your kids.  Take your buddies.  It is a great film and all will enjoy it.

 

This brings me to my BEEF CAKE.  I have a double dose of Beef Cake this week.  I had to pick to of the players mentioned in the last segment, Chadwick Boseman and Lucas Black.

 

Chadwick Boseman is relatively new to the scene for me.  I’m not sure if I have seen him in anything   He’s been on many television shows from “ER” to “Lincoln Heights” to “Fringe”.  He did play on my favorite daytime show, “All My Children”.  However, I can’t really say I remember him, but I will no longer forget him.

else or not.

He has this beautiful quirky smile.  He kind of has an Elvis snarl smile as I call it.  He has full luscious lips that you just want to kiss.  Not to mention in “42”, they showed him in the shower, top portion only, and he has a nice physique.  He also had a little chest hair which I love.  He’s very handsome and easy on the eyes.

 

 

This brings me to Lucas Black.  I’ve watched him since he was a kid in “American Gothic”.  I loved this show and was upset when the cancelled it.  However, I got to see the kid in “Sling Blade” where he did a fantastic job.  I would then see him occasionally in some television show here and there.  He is a good actor and he showed it “42”

Lucas has that Southern Boy next door kind of feel.  He’s handsome.  He’s athletic.  He’s the picture  He also has that lip curl that Chadwick has.  He has a boyish charm about him that just makes you like him.

of many guys who were my classmates that I crushed on.

 

I could go on but I’m leaning toward being perverted and no one wants that.  I need to cool off with a good dosing of this weeks Breakdown.

Is it just me or are Hollywood’s young set getting crazier and crazier?  Lindsay Lohan is going into rehab again.  Justin Bieber seeming to let his fame go to his head.  Amanda Bynes is going off the deep end?  Is this true?

What the hell Hollywood?  You chew them up and spit them out and don’t give a damn about these young lives.  I’m upset about Amanda Bynes.  She is a good comedian actress.  She is much better than Lindsay Lohan ever was.  It’s just horrible to see her go in a similar downward spiral.

Amanda, listen to me.  You are beautiful and talented.  You have the makings of being a wonderful comedic actress and I don’t want you to throw that away.  I’m nit sure what demons plague you, but get some help girl.  The world needs a beautiful young actress that is funny and can fill some romantic comedy roles out there that I know would be perfect for you.

Come live with me for awhile.  I will get you back on track.  You don’t have to worry about any sexual tension because I am gay.  We can hone your skills together and bring you to big major comeback that would leave all of Hollywood’s jaws in the dropped position.  Just think about it and give me a call girl.

 

Let’s talk about a woman who has it all together.  My selection of Belle of the Ball is Giuliana Rancic.  She is the face of E News and the elegance of Fashion Police.  She married Bill Ransic, who won “The Apprentice”. 

We’ve been watching Giuliana now for 2003.  We have watched her hone her skills as a host and entertainment reporter.  We enjoyed watching her with that other great female entertainment reporter, Ryan Seacrest.  Now she is co-hosting the E News with the devilishly handsome, Terrence Jenkins. 

You can see this chick also on Fashion Police.  She is often the voice of reason to Kelly’s whack-a-do punk and George’s kiss ass comments.  The Big “G”, as she is often called, really tells it accurately most of the time.  She can see a bad dress and call it a bad dress. I think the viewers like her the best because of that capability.

If E didn’t have her working hard enough, she’s also hosting along with her hubby, Bill Ransic, the new reality love show “Ready for Love”.  I am obsessed with this show.  Americans like reality love shows.  We love to watch catty girls duke it out over a late 30ish guy who can’t keep a decent relationship together.  Despite that it is a good concept having matchmakers pick the girls and coach them on how to win the man of their dreams.

Now I know my BFF Giuliana is reading my blog she tweets me all the time about it.  My plea to her is I’m ready for love.  Get those matchmakers working on setting me up with twelve potential spouses to marry me.  I’m waiting for my call.

 

With all that stated I need a drink, here’s my latest drink recipe craze.  This is perfect for the bridal season.

·                       1 ounce blue curaçao liqueur

·                       1 ounce gin

·                       ½ ounce tequila

·                       ½ ounce vodka

·                       ½ ounce triple sec

·                       ½ ounce rum

·                       1 ounce sweet and sour mix

·                       4 ounces lemon-lime soda

·                       1 cup ice cubes, plus more for serving

Shake ingredients (except the soda) together in a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice cubes. Add the soda to the shaker and stir (don't shake it!). Then, once combined, strain into a glass over ice and serve with a fun straw.

Alternatively, you can make a pitcher of this (multiplying the amounts) in advance and then top with the soda just before serving in ice-filled glasses.

 

Now I’m ready to answer some “If” questions.

 

1)      If you had to give a prize for the most sexually attractive politician in U.S. History, who would win it?

 

I know most people of a certain age would say JFK, but I never found him that attractive. Back in the day, Benjamin Franklin was a playboy and had many lovers.  Thomas Jefferson had a mistress as we all know.  It is even rumored that George Washington found comfort in the arms of lady of the night.  Barak Obama is attractive, but still not my type.  I like AaronSchock, US Representative form Illinois.

 

2)      If you had to name the single most erotic part of the human body, what would it be?

 

I vote for the lips.  I love kissing.

 

3)      If you had to name the least erotic part of the human body, what would it be?

 

I vote for nipples.  They do nothing for me and, in fact, I can’t stand it when people try anything with them.

 

4)      If you were to add a thirteenth month to the year, where would you insert it?

 

I would put in between March and April.  It would length the time to get taxes in and we would make sure it wouldn’t snow in April ever again.

 

 

Last but certainly not least, let’s Shine the Rainbow on someone.  Our LGBT Icon is none other than Sara Gilbert.  She’s everyone’s favorite snarky TV daughter from Roseanne.  We enjoyed her brief reunion with Johnny Galecki with her stint on the Big Bang Theory.  But we can revel in her everyday on “The Talk”.  She is beautiful.  She is smart.  She is funny and has a great viewpoint.  We celebrate her success and can’t wait for more from her.  I hope she calls me for an upcoming interview with her and Sharon Osborne before my fame gets so big that I have turn people away. 

 

 

There you have this week’s blog.  Until next week, May all your drinks be mixed well and heavily poured.

 

 



The Big Gay Jay Show

 



 

 

 

Hello All!!!   This week’s blog starts off with a political message.  I know say what.  He’s going political on me.  It stems from a conversation I had with a friend over dinner this weekend.  Let me get on top of this soapbox and let you have it.

 

As a group my friends and I try to get together for a meal at least twice a month.  Some weeks it’s easier said then done.  However, we have a great time when it comes together.  Will this always happen or be the case?  The answer is no, but I enjoy it as long as it lasts.

 

During dinner, we eye the waiters, drink martinis and talk about different topics like TV shows, movies or the local community.  We very seldom talk about politics, which irritates me because I enjoy an adult conversation about politics.  I am very open to hearing other people’s beliefs and values.  It doesn’t mean I agree with them, but it has been known on some rare occasion that I may learn about a subject which may alter my opinion or at the very least shine a light on a corner of the subject I had yet to discover.

 

Since no human being is cookie cutter, we are all on different levels of the liberal and conservative spectrum.  I am probably the most liberal of my friends.  I am bleeding heart to a degree.  Even though I would like to fix the world and chase the boogeyman way, I am realistic enough that I can’t fix everything. 

 

It has always escaped me about Gay Republicans especially when most of members of the party spout how evil the LGBT community is and how we don’t deserve the same legal rights and some still have the belief that we should all be shipped to an island and killed.  I can’t wrap my brain around it.  My initial belief is that the most self-loathing individuals of the LGBT community have to make up this Gay Republican group.

 

Though it will not change my stance on any political ground, I understand Gay Republicans or, at least, one of my friends who identifies himself as one.  He’s a nice young man that simply stated that he is more conservative than liberal especially when talking in fiscal terms.  So in essence, human rights issues are more important to me which doesn’t mean I want to be poor all my life or don’t care about our country’s budget, but it does mean I’m willing to shell out some money to help the less fortunate or to fight for equality.  On the other hand, my friend believes that fiscal issues are important which doesn’t mean he cares any less for the unfortunate or for equality, but he believes that making sure the integrity of the financial state is more important and in the end will allow programs to help the less fortunate.

 

I’m sure it goes deeper than that, but that was my take on it.  I appreciate him and appreciate all views.  I like hearing them and I like discussing them in a calm and appreciative manner.  We will never all 100% agree on any state policy, but to have no view and unable to discuss these views without having hurt feelings, name calling and leading to fights is a shame. 

 

Just my opinion. Take it or leave it.  Thank you

 

Now let’s have some fun.  I was born in 1969 for any young readers this means I am old, not ancient or decrepit, just old.  There never really were gay television icons or shows that I could watch, enjoy and get a semblance of being a part of anything.  The closest thing we had was that Jack Tripper on “Three’s Company” played brilliantly by John Ritter was a man living with two girls that had to pretend to be gay so the landlord wouldn’t kick them out.

 

Though daytime television came up with the occasional gay character that left a big impact on the viewers, the first real show that I can say I actually felt showed any real part of the LGBT struggle was “Queer as Folk”.  It was well written and played.  Yes, they were all pretty, way more sex and drugs than I ever could have dreamt to have, but it was a show that was in a word “fabulous”.

 

Everyone had their favorite.  Were you more like Michael, Justin, Brian, Ted or Emmett?  If you didn’t emulate them, you picked which one you wanted to bed.  Bars had viewing parties and drink specials.  It was a show about gay men for gay men.  We as a community for the most part loved every minute of it.  This one gay man really did love it.  Here’s a drinking game: watch an episode and drink every time Brian drops the F Bomb. 

 

The show even had the lesbian couple that keeps the gay men anchored.  The over exuberant “my son is gay and I'm proud of it” mother played wonderfully by Sharon Gless. The “my son just came out and I want to support him but unsure how” mother played equally brilliant by Sherry Miller.  Not mention the boyfriends and girlfriends of all the mentioned characters that really added a great flavor to the show.

 

I miss this show from my life.  It has been 7 years since this show was on the air.  I crave the drama.  I crave the characters.  I crave something like this.  I need to either have new Queer as Folk showing where the characters are.  Have Melanie and Lindsey moved back since the marriage equality is getting closer?  Has Brian stayed a part of Gus life?  Is Brian alive?  Did Justin finally find someone that is deserving of his love? How did things go with Emmett’s beau from Mississippi work out?  Did Ted and Blake work out? What happened to Michael and Ben?  Are they still together?  Don’t forget Hunter.  Did he go to college?  Is he dating girls or guys? 

If the actors for whatever reason don’t want to do it, can someone come up with an up to date version of this show or something similar to it?  I need gay fictional, well written and beautifully played drama.   Would a show about middle aged gay man go over well?  If so call me up, I’m ready.

 

Alright let’s get to some BEEFCAKE!!!

 

This week’s Beefcake is my number 2 dream man.  Not sure what I like about Boston, but apparently I like the guys a lot.  My beefcake this week is none other than hot, muscle bound and talented Mark Wahlberg. 

Who could forget Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch?  I fell in love with “Good Vibrations” video.  Sorry Mark, I know you are not gay, but I had a huge crush on you.  It didn’t help when you did the ad for Calvin Klein.  I thought I had lost my mind when I saw it.  It was kinds of crazy hot and solidified you in every gay mans heart and dreams.

 

I have watched and own most of your work.  Each film you get better and better.  “Boogie Nights”, “The Perfect Storm” and “The Fighter” to name just a few highlights are some of my favorite movies for different reasons.  Each of these films showcase a different part of your talent that simply makes me admire you more and more.

 

But going past the obvious looks, I am amazed at not only your talent as an actor, but also as a producer. Your success with "Entourage" and "Boardwalk Empire" blows my mind and showcases how smart you really are. You’re becoming a force to be reckoned in the industry which is amazing.  I seriously can’t wait for you new TV program, “Boston’s Finest” because like I have already stated that there’s something about you guys from Boston that flip my trigger.

 

 Time for some questions from “The Big Book of If” by Evelyn McFarlane and James Saywell

 

1)      If you could change one thing to make life easier for your children, what would you do?

 

Lose weight and keep it off so we can have a lot more time together

 

2)      If you had to sell your soul for one thing, what would it be?

 

The cure for all cancer found and made easily affordable for all human beings.

 

3)      If you could achieve absolute success in only one area of your life, what would it be?

 

            Fatherhood

Teaching because my family has many teachers in it and it is one of the greatest professions there is.

 

 

I always want to introduce new segments so this week I have two segments.  Here we go with a HIMBO.  A himbo is a male bimbo; someone really pretty but just shows that elevator doesn’t go all the way to the top.   

My 1^st Himbo has to be Ryan Lochte.  For those of you who have no idea who he is, he is swimmer that won a couple of medals in the Olympics in 2012.  Since then he has been on talk shows, he’s gone on several red carpet events and soon will be coming to your televisions set on “E” with his new reality show, “What would Ryan Lochte do?” 

Let me begin by saying that “What would (fill in name) do?” tag line or logo is just plain tired.  No one cares what anyone else would do.  If Evangelicals continue to judge, they don't care what Jesus would do which is where the phrase came from in the beginning.  People don’t know Ryan Lochte and they don’t care what he would do or what he will do.

Next, he’s just a big ox that really has not displayed anything interesting except his ability to swim real fast and hog the spot light to extend his dwindling fifteen minutes of fame.  I’ve yet to hear any thing interesting in of talk show appearances.  He’s yet been able to display any kind of entertaining talent.  I mean if the show is of him flexing and running around in his Speedo then that might work for him, but other than that.  Look pretty and shut up.

 

For my final segment this week, we are Shining the Rainbow on a LGBT celebrity.  Check this guy out.  It is hot, luscious and smooth Darryl Stephens.  This man is a talented actor and I believe has not been given his best opportunity yet.  He was the title character in Noah’s Arc which ran on Logo for two years and was kind of like the African-American version of Queer as Folk. 

Unfortunately as many gay and lesbian actors often do, I think he gets pigeon holed as an over flamboyant gay man instead of letting his acting chops really kick and stretch as a performer.  He’s very good looking.  He shows talent. I believe with the right part he will soon be more of a household name and would get bigger offers and better roles.  He could be my love interest in my show about the middle aged gay fat man.

 

Well that's it for this week.  Thanks for all the support that my two readers have for me.  Until next week, May all your drinks be mixed well and heavily poured.
