.................. Im So Ashamed With Myself......................

..........................I've totally got a crush on Taylor Lautner - one of those Twilight kids who are all popular 'coz of those tween vampire films.

I feel like SUCH a dirty old man - Now I know how Lady MacBeth felt when she couldn't get those damn spots off - dirty dirty dirty Damien.

I know.......

I'm so sorry :(

............................. My Favourite Blogs .......................

....below are my favourite blogs. Most of you have probably gone there already but in case you haven't - here's a bit of a spiel on each of them.

Enjoy :)


Ajax In The City

They say that on the day the French Revolution started that Louis XVI wrote in his journal that "Nothing much of importance happened today."

Now, of course, we know that he couldn't have been more wrong. But, maybe that's just how life is, you go about living your life and then bam, all of a sudden something that you didn't pay any attention to when it happened comes back and bites you in the butt. Or maybe not. I like to think I see things a little more clearly than Louis did, at least, I hope I do.

You be the judge.





Aussielicious

Brenton on Brenton..............

Outgoing, I love to challenge myself, spend great time with my friends and family. Trying to taste a bit of everything that life has to offer. Put me on a beach and I relax instantly, take my clothes off too and I’m completely relaxed.

I’m a graphic designer by training and also an aspiring amateur photographer. A typical Libran, I’m obsessed with beauty and try to find it everywhere.

Aussielicious was born in November 2005 as a way to keep my international friends up to date but quickly evolved into a flesh filled bit of fun, not to be taken too seriously. I’m the one at a party being politically incorrect and making jokes, a lot of the time at my own expense.

Fair View Sue

What isn't to love about a straight woman with style and a penchant for gay porn and erotic literature?

Not much - Sue has been one of my daily reads for a while now and her take on all things - not just porn - bird houses and nature for example :) - is a joy to read.





Bill In Exile

Scott's blog is depraved, intelligent, insightful, politically aware, socially preemptive and homosexually incorrect. In other words - it's a blast.

I count Scott and Brenton as the two bloggers I most admire.

Scott's blog is most DEFINITELY nsfw. Be warned now - you won't get a second.




Mutton Chopped Mutant

Half human, half something more sinister - trapped in the body of a boring middle-class white boy. I'm proud of nothing I've achieved so far but I've learnt to set my aspirations low.

Mutt is a wunderkind of a blogger in that one could be forgiven for thinking he studied at the feet of Scott from Bill In Exile. Mutt is currently on the road trip from hell and publishes all MANNER of shots of him and his surroundings.

Oh - and he likes to shoot for the low note - but he is actually a classy little bugger.





Oh La La Mag

For all my photography and pop culture fixes I head to Steph and Alek over at Oh La La.

These guys are the pro's of blogging. Always interesting, never dull or dated.

Hot men. Fierce Models. Hollywood peeks and LA looks make it a fine read by anyone's standard.




Shadow Of My Life

I'm a 38 year old Marketing and Advertising Specialist for a Media Firm and I'm a business owner. I graduated from the University of Alabama. (I'm a die hard Crimson Tide Fan...ROLL TIDE) I'm a very competitive guy in everything I do. Currently I reside in Riverchase, where I live with my cat Manny Ramirez. I'm also a huge Red Sox's Fan. I'm no longer single and looking for the right guy. (Oh by the way, I'm gay and I found the right guy (B is his initals))

I'm out to most of my friends and most my family. I've done living a double life and I'm tired of hiding the real me. I joined this site and started this journal to meet new people and share some of my experiences. I will be posting and journaling things that happen to me on a daily basis. I never thought I would do something like this, but this is a way for me to express myself. I think I have a lot to share. I figured this would be more cost effective than going to a therapist.


Now I will also be profiling other blogs I love to read.

But these are my fave - and for good reason - they are good people saying / showing interesting things.

Shalom.

........................ Is Tom Cruise Nuts .................................?

........... Tom Cruise is like a train smash broken down into moments of shattered time. Doesn't look so bad at the start - but when you get to the end of the derailment - WOW!

So is he nuts? You decide...........




Tom Quotes on Scientology

"I look at those people and I say, 'Bring it. I'm a Scientologist, man. What do you want to know?' I don't mind answering questions."




"Some people, well, if they don't like Scientology, well, then, fuck you. Really. Fuck you. Period."

"If someone doesn't want to be a criminal anymore, I can give them tools that can better their life. You have no idea how many people want to know what Scientology is."

"What Scientology is, is it addresses man as a spiritual being. Okay? And it gives people tools that they apply to their lives to improve conditions. And that is what it is."




"I wouldn't be here today where I am (without it) and it is things that I apply to my life to help me improve my conditions that actually help me to be able to think for myself, to be able to make the decisions. I use it and I apply it and when you talk about things, those are lies. And really, when you get down to it, you know there are bigots. There are people that just want to hate, period. No matter what. Right?"




Tom Facts

Tom started wearing braces in 2002. He removes them during filming.

When he was 7, he was diagnosed as dyslexic. He claims Scientology helped him overcome it.




Tom's real name: Thomas Mapother.

According to RadarMagazine.com, before Cruise started dating Katie Holmes, he invited actress Scarlett Johansson to a Scientology center where he showed her literature about the church. "After two hours of proselytizing," according to the website, "Cruise opened a door to reveal a second room full of upper-level Scientologists who had been waiting to dine with the pair, at which point the cool-headed ingénue politely excused herself."



In 1997, Cruise and other big time Hollywood entertainers took out an international newspaper ad denouncing Germany for resorting to the same totalitarian tactics against Scientologists that the country used against the Jews under Hitler during the 1930s.

If Cruise and Katie Holmes wed, each of his wives will have been eleven years younger than the last. (Mimi Rogers, b. 1956; Nicole Kidman, b. 1967; Katie Holmes, b. 1978)




Tom Quotes on Psychiatry

"I've never agreed with psychiatry, ever."

"You don't know the history of psychiatry. I do."



"There is no such thing as a chemical imbalance."

"There's ways of vitamins and through exercise and various things."

"When you talk about emotional, chemical imbalances in people, there is no science behind that."

"People go for help, but their lives don't get better because of those [psychiatric] drugs. They get worse. They feel numb and they're told that's a good thing. It's how you degrade a society -- by drugging the piss out of it."




Other Celebs On Tom

Dave to Katie: "So this must be a very exciting time for you. You're in love with Tom Cruise, and Tom, as far as we can tell, has gone nuts." - David Letterman to Katie Holmes on the Late Show

"Dear Tom Cruise, Your lack of belief in the existence of clinical depression tells me one thing: you didn’t spend $10. to see War Of The Worlds. If vitamins can possibly help me out of this spiraling funk, please let me know which ones. Dinos? Pebbles? Freds? Please, I’m crying out for help." - Alton Brown, Food Network host of Good Eats and Iron Chef America

"Note to Tom Cruise: You are maxing out. Wearing out the welcome. Becoming less the tolerable and moderately talented and mildly likable megastar and more like an itchy boil on the deranged ferret of popular culture, requiring lancing." - Mark Morford, SF Gate Columnist

"Fame is like death: We will never know what it looks like until we've reached the other side. Then it will be impossible to describe and no one will believe you if you try. For now, all the conjecture is on our side of the media fence. And lately it has put Tom Cruise one spoke behind Michael Jackson on the freak wheel." - Sloane Crosley, Village Voice

"If vitamins and exercise alone explain why Tom Cruise is so, um, knowledgeable and well-grounded, pass the Prozac." - Chicago Tribune

"It's a sign of the celebrity-market bubble that a bona fide, top-gun movie star has to make such a spectacle of himself just to stand out from the crowd. There's such a glut of celebrities that they'll soon have to begin storing the surplus in silos in Iowa." - Eugene Robinson, Washington Post.

"Whether we can still suspend disbelief, or whether all we can think about while watching him act is L. Ron Hubbard and Oprah will be measured by his movie's grosses." - Marty Kaplan, Professor of Communications, University of Southern California.

"Tom and Katie got engaged on Friday and, once again, the media somehow found out about it. If we promise to go see 'War of the Worlds,' will you please make this stop?" - Jimmy Kimmel

"His true believer zeal is in-your-face in every single interview now. Haven't we already been through this with Mel Gibson?" - Paige Newman, Movies Editor, MSNBC

"Is it fair to expect Cruise to behave "normal"? When you're surrounded by yes-men telling you that every decision you make is correct — and have the millions to prove it — how could you possibly be expected to be normal? Just ask Michael Jackson." - Paige Newman

"I'll never quite be able to see Cruise the same way. It will take more than Cruise's power of positive thinking to bring back the nice guy with the megawatt smile. Now, he's the zealot who jumps on Oprah's couch like a love-crazed monkey and lectures America about our nasty pharmaceutical habits." - Paige Newman.

"Do whatever you have to to never have a heart attack around Tom Cruise, cause he would just use his medical expertise to put some duct tape on your chest and give you some gumdrops. And then he would convince you that the defibrillator and paramedics who later saved your life really didn't save your life. Just like people who improve on meds like Stratera and Ritalin haven't really improved on meds like Stratera and Ritalin." - The Superficial.com

"His extreme bliss about brand-new girl-pal Katie Holmes was awkward and forced and just really weird. Yet you gave him a pass by not following up when he wouldn't really explain how he and Katie met or when he basically said he hadn't noticed his child was biracial or when he just laughed for five minutes straight. And finally, you didn't ask, "Why the hell are you jumping around like a crazy person, Tom?" - E Online
