My New Favorite Tumblr

Wuidenshuuz: I'm aging quickly these days. Gays age twice as fast as normal people.
Coco: No, no.
Wuidenshuuz: No, wait.
Coco: That's a myth.
Twolipp: Explain.
Wuidenshuuz: Hehe. Our "Prime Age" is a rapidly shrinking range, but we live forever. And, usually stay beautiful up until the very end...when we dissolve into glitter and dash away upon the winds...Usually with Bette Midler singing, "Wind Beneath My Wings" somewhere in the background.

Tenants of the Faith: The Glitter Cult is a very sacred and sound religion, demanding the utmost in dedication and devotion from it’s followers. We hold to the ideals of the faith and strive to follow the outlines of the faith. Please know that any deviation from our religious scriptures WILL NOT BE TOLERATED*.

*(Please see Commandment #14 for further clarification)

Commandments of the Faith

Thou shall always keep within easy reach something shiny, reflective or sparkly.
Thou Shalt love sequins.
Thou Shalt Believe in Life after Love, after Love, after Love, after Love…..
Thou shall not go to parties that thou does not deign to go to unless thou are so hung over that thou needest the food intake or thou just needs the religious experience of “Hair of the Dog” and thou-est sees no reason to purchase thou’s own alcohol if it is being provided for free at an unpleasant party where thou can just get divinely hammered and thus forget the party ever happened to begin with.
Thou Shalt love alcohol and all of the magic that comes with it. Thou Shalt understand that a hangover is the Deities way of telling thou that thou hath not drank enough. In order to fully understand thou must drink mixed drinks at every opportunity with complete impunity, morning, noon or night with no fear of retribution or of a backlash from our nemisis cult, Alcoholics Anonymous.
Thou Shalt DANCE at every opportunity. Dancing in the Streets. Dance in the Sheets. Dance at work. I just wanna dance with somebody who loves me!
Thou Shalt not regret. Regret takes up time that thou should be dancing.
Thou Shalt flirt and make ‘eyes’ at cute boys whenever possible. Im addition, thou shall make out with cute boys recklessly and feel no shame in asking them to lift up their shirts so you can check out their pecs and abs. Orgies are messy, but sometimes necessary. Indulge in boys at least once a week.
Thou Shalt Love Thyself, Cause if thou can’t love thyself then who the Hell can you love?
Thou Shalt watch the broadway play “Wicked” and love it. Defy Gravity. Carry a broomstick.
M&M’s and chocolate are a healthy food group and a perfect alternative to apples and granola. They make your coat shiny.
Thou shalt make up relationships with famous people in order to make thyself look popular, and all in the cult shall believe your delusions of grandeur.
Drugs are bad. Unless you mix them with alcohol, in which case it’s a party mix.
Thou Shalt only break the Commandments up to thirty two times per week.
Thou Shalt create new Commandments as Thou needest in order to stay glamorously moral.
Anything served in an oversized martini glass is considered high class and elegant. It must be drunk immediately regardless of previous libations that Thou hath partaken in.
Thou Must own at least three pieces of Religious Iconography:

My Grandmother passed away earlier this year and my uncle posted an album on Facebook with collected pictures of her life. He noted on the album: “Maybe Brickey is “in our future”… I don’t know. But what I do know is that I see her in everyone in whose life she touched right now.” And it’s true. I don’t know if there is a Heaven where I will see her again. But, I can see her in all the kids, grandkids and great grandkids she created. I can’t stop tearing up at work…

Here’s one of my favorite pics from the album…

Can Wearing Your Bra Cause Cancer?!

Thu, 21 May 2009 14:06:19 -0400

Can Wearing Your Bra Cause Cancer?!:

butterflyeffects:

aja:

Based on the results of this study, the link between bras and breast cancer is about three times greater than the link between cigarette smoking and cancer.

Oh my god.

Women who wore their bras 24 hours per day had a 3 out of 4 chance of developing breast cancer

Women who wore bras more than 12 hour per day, but not to bed, had a 1 out of 7 risk

Women who wore their bras less than 12 hours per day had a 1 out of 52 risk

Women who wore bras rarely or never had a 1 out of 168 chance of getting breast cancer

Time to rethink some habits. It’s hard for large-breasted women, though. I find not wearing a bra quite uncomfortable, even at home. Then again, probably not as uncomfortable as cancer…

Pollution.

Upper picture: Thousands of scrapped taxis are abandoned at a yard in the center of Chongqing city on March 4, 2009. Traffic congestion and pollution have worsened dramatically in Chinese cities as the country’s long-running economic expansion has allowed increasing numbers of consumers to make big-ticket purchases such as cars.

Middle picture: A polluted creek covered with trash in Manila, Philippines on 01 March 2009. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources reported in 2008 that the Philippines hosts 50 major polluted rivers, with a majority of pollutants coming from domestic waste. EPA/FRANCIS R. MALASIG

Wow, what waste.

I got mugged last night

Fri, 15 May 2009 10:41:09 -0400

baxterp:

My friend Jess got mugged two years ago on Essex and Stanton. We were walking along with another friend of mine, G, at about 9:30 on a Saturday night when some guy came up to Jess and tried to grab her purse off her shoulder. They struggled for a moment while G and I gawped because at first we didn’t realize what was happening. Guy got the purse, sprinted down the street while Jess and I watched him stunned —- when suddenly G went zooming by us in full-speed pursuit. We watched them cross the street and disappear around the corner, completely speechless. A moment later, G reappeared and held J’s purse aloft. Apparently the mugger hadn’t expected to be chased, had slowed down around the corner and was surprised to hear G run up behind him and growl, “I’m faster than you…drop the purse!” and had flung it away and kept running. G came back and we hugged and kissed him and then pummeled him for chasing after a mugger. Not. Smart.

kind of the best story ever.

I don’t know if it’s ever worth it. A guy I knew was playing basketball in LA when a young highschool kid came up to him and stole his iphone. My friend, thinking this was just some young thug, chased the kid. The kid turned around and shot my friend. He died. Sorry to be somber but you never know.

Sooo, last night I went to a Robin Hood Charity Event at the Javits Center. Jon Stewart was the host and I like many, many people love him. However, many of his jokes were met with quiet applause by the largely hedge fund/finance crowd. Comments like, “Tonight is a chance for Wall Street to help all those people hurt so badly by … Oh, sorry,” for instance. And then he beamed in “Bernie Madoff” for an interview from jail and when it was over, some people applauded. Stewart said, “You guys just applauded Bernie Madoff.” But whatevs! It was great and it raised more than $72 million.
