1. Modern Family and Cougar Town is my current favorite hour of television. This week’s episodes confirmed that fact. I just can’t get enough of Cameron and Mitchell. And Cougar Town really makes me want to live in Florida and I’ve never even been there! All they do is lounge around all day and drink white wine out of pickle jars! I assume all the Florida bloggers can confirm this fact.
2. I’m going to the 2010 Professional Bull Riders event at Madison Square Garden with my Dad this Sunday. Seriously.
3. I really want to see Daybreakers. It looks like a lot of fun, and it’s getting some pretty decent reviews. Plus it has Sam Neill and he can do no wrong.
4. Ugh. This makes me so angry.
5. Wouldn’t it be great if Avatar beat Titanic? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not one of those Titanic haters. I love it and all it’s cheesy goodness, but I think I’m just about done with it being the number one movie.
6. Two hour season premiere of Chuck this Sunday! Be excited!
7. I don’t know what you’re talking about. Lynnette’s storyline in last week’s Desperate Housewives did not make me cry. ::sniff::
8. Today is the day I give up hope on the job I interviewed for. I got home that day positive I had gotten it. My would-be boss was wearing argyle! Her best friend is the woman I interviewed with at Penguin! I talked about Glee with the Human Resources woman! But alas, a month has gone by and my phone call was not returned. I held out hope that they needed this week to catch up on things from the holidays. But the week is over and I feel defeated.
Ryan: Well, I am sure Craig doesn’t need me to _tell_ him to do that.
Craig, you need to use The Secret and all you’ve ever wanted and more will come to you! It’s how you can get your job!
i wanna see daybreakers too – and i LOVE sam neill.
Craig: Wow! The Dominican Republic! That’s freakin’ amazing. And what a great opportunity to not only make more money, but most of all to experience a different culture for an extended period of time. If you do end up going over there, I’m almost certain you’ll come back a changed person with a life experience that may well be unparalleled otherwise. I’m jealous! And excited!
Disclaimer: This comment doesn’t have anything to do with anything, but I need to get it out of my system and I can’t really do it on my blog. Craig, feel free to delete it if you want…
::begin rant:: (lol)
TheSword.com wrote a little feature about my website. I’d never heard of the site, but when it showed up on my referral stats, I was initially excited since I don’t get a lot of referrals from other sites. So I jump over there and the article was entirely negative. They said I was making fun of ugly people. And that bothers me. A lot. Not only that, but they included a freakin’ picture of *me* in the article. Matt told me he felt that they included my photo in the story to put me in a worse light by implying that Spike is gl and he’s making fun of these poor people that aren’t.
I hope that’s not the case, but it was an interesting POV.
Matt keeps reminding me that all publicity is good publicity (and it *has* driven a shitload of traffic to the site), but the tone of the story is *so* not my intention with Fun With Grindr — I go out of my way to not make fun of people. And if I do it’s absolutely not making fun of what they look like. Even the examples they gave were pretty weak. Well, except for the last one, which he totally deserved, since he posted a photo of himself with a freakin’ *child* on a gay hookup app. But even then, I didn’t make fun of what he looked like.
Argh.
Okay, I’m done. Sorry, had to get that out.
It’s still bothering me though.
::end rant::
Interesting. I just reread TheSword.com article and they changed the last paragraph from what it was last night. It’s a lot softer than it was when it was first posted. Not sure why they changed it, but it’s more positive. It still makes me sound like I’m a judgmental ass, but I’m happier.
Dave S: I read the review and even though they call out the site on being kinda mean-spirited, they also admit that “Fun With Grindr is you, and Fun With Grindr is me. It is all of us. And we are all horrible.” The person that wrote the review seems to enjoy the site and openly admits that we all have judgements…it’s just that only some of us are brave enough to share them. I for serial don’t think you should let it get to you…cuz they are admitting that they too are “horrible” and therefor aren’t condemning you for site.
Josh: And that’s the part that they changed from when it was first posted — that line wasn’t in the original post. After I saw that was put in there, I felt a lot better about the article. Still perturbs me, but not nearly as much.
Sorry dude. I still love your site! weee! PS! SEND ME YOUR GIFT EXCHANGE PICTURE!
Again with the “dude”.
Well I commented on the article. I think they got the point and tone of the site completely wrong, even after their little disclaimer. You don’t even make fun of all the guys — some of them you admire. And you’re right, you’re not making fun of their looks.
Ryan – I made the same mistake. On the other hand, “have fun with the bulls” could be taken in an innuendo-y way too, if one is *completely* beyond all hope
Justin and Josh: Thanks for the support!
You’re the best.
Dave S.: Sorry about the article, the author is obviously peeved that he didn’t get one of your “too cute” comments for his Grindr pic
I love your site because you say what everyone is really thinking when they see these photos; some people just can’t take the criticism in the light-hearted manner in which it was intended. Don’t let one grumpy ass get you down!
Justin: Dude, like seriously dude, here in Cali “Dude” is the official sate word. So, like chill ‘bro – go with the flow – it’s all good dude.
Polt: He might have 18 months to work on it.
TwoPi — *chuckle*
MNico — yeah but Josh isn’t in Cali frat-boy-speak coming out of Josh makes my brainz asplode. THERE’S NOTHING TRASHY ABOUT ‘DUDE’!
But Josherzeses like to keep us boring dudes confused, so it’s all good
#1: yes, that is exactly what we do here in Florida
#4: I am SO with you. Jay Leno is the biggest ASS on the face of the earth. If you look up ass in the dictionary, there is Jay Leno. An elephant’s ass is not as big of an ass as Jay Leno is. Grrrrrr………..
I’m in Florida and yes, it’s true.
