This blog gives a look into the eternal sunshine of my ever roving mind. I consider myself a social critic. I believe in Film, Music, Theatre, Musical Theatre, Gay Rights, the Right to Choose, Human Rights and YES I still believe in Barack Obama. I believe in most things left of center. I don't get any organized religion.They are all a sham. This is the gay pride flag. I am proudly gay. These are the things this blog is about. Love it, like it or leave it. We all have choices.

Jermaine Jackson
jermaine singing 'smile' at mj's memorial:
jermaine dueted on one of my favorite dance songs with the otherwise ridiculous pia zadora.
i still like this song and jermaine but am i glad ms. zadora disappeared from sight soon after it's release.

R.I.P.
i'm one of those who believe michael jackson was given too much air time after his death. untimely death? i think not. we all die a little death everyday. michael just pushed his along as so many celebrities before him have done. as a white guy i have heard it insinuated that my opposition to this prolonged memorial, of almost a week in length , makes me a bigot. i take great exception to this. i am far from a bigot. i just don't believe in canonization especially of a man whose past is to say the least pretty shady. otherwise he was an entertainer. period. he in no way deserves the idolatry respected broadcasts and broadcasters bestowed on him. damn we don't even mention the dead and dying in two wars america is involved in at all. does mr. jackson deserve more than these men and women? you are on your own here. an entertainerthat's all he was! and as i write this i question why i am giving this so much time and space. i suppose i got caught up in watching that accident on the highway. it's horrific but you can't take your eyes off of it. shame on us. greater shame on me.
today's memorial which was dignified and probably deserved would have been plenty. but for msnbc and other cable news outlets to devote the time he got in his death was absurd. i mean he made music. that's all! well that's not all but i will refrain.
there were highlights today: germaine jackson singing 'smile' brought a tear or two to my eyes while jennifer hudson thrilled as her voice soared...

the most touching moments for me were when his daughter paris spoke of her love for her father and brooke shields touching and often funny memories. paris jackson gave me pause because she reminded me that he was for her just a dad. that is good enough for today.

michael i hope you have more peace in death than you had in life no matter what race you turn out to be.
sadly this is what he selfishly, yes selfishly, leaves behind. you don't have three kids and abuse drugs and probably more the way he did. selfish! and dumb...just plain dumb. i best stop now because i'm getting angry and it just ain't worth it.

What Is This Incoherent Douche Bag Talking About?

Maybe there is a god!!!
After Sarah Palin's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week she has announced she will be stepping down in a few weeks. In a press conference call this morning, Alaska's Governor Sarah Palin has announced she will not run for re-election and is stepping down as governor.
She had a brief statement. She took no questions.
Her commissioners and Lt. Governor were with her at her home. Palin did not relinquished the reigns of the state to the Lt. Governor while running for vice president.
Lt. Governor Sean Parnell will step in to the roll as governor at the end of the month. He was defeated by Congressman Don Young in the Republican primary last year.
Rumors of an "iceberg scandal" have been circulating.
Resignation is certainly out of character for Sarah Palin.
You betcha!
TEN Best Film Nominees? OY!
Just how long will the next broadcast be?
Maybe just maybe they can start on Saturday night and hope to finish on time Sunday night.
So now five more films can added to the oft unworthy five...like 'Frost/Nixon.
Now five more films can advertise 'Best Film Nominee' and we can all rush to possibly see five crappy movies.
Will there be five more acting nominees in each category in time? Maybe then we can have 'Oscar Week'.
Hey i personally love the Oscars but this is a joke. Fix the show! Fix the nomination process! For gods-sake don't make fools out of us. This is a money decision not an artistic one.
