Worst of 2011

Let's start with the most overexposed celebrity of the year.No I'm not talking about Kim Kardashian,she is on this list though.I'm referring to Justin Bieber who continued to invade the entertainment news outlets with medicore Christmas music and a wack job who claimed that Bieber got her pregnant (giggles) Yeah right and Kim Kardashian married for true love.Her wedding was overhyped on E!,then 72 days later it was over.A backlash was imminent.There was even a petition to get the Kardashians off our airwaves but guess what? People are still watching the shows.The Real Housewives took an ugly turn with the dismissal of half the New York cast,turning Teresa Guidice into another Danielle Staub,the suicide of Taylor Armstrong's husband Russell and Nene's oversized ego.If this is what reality has to offer count me out.Rick Perry and Michelle Bachmann,2 Republican candidiates whose homophobic views were on full display.They need to stop living in the stone age and wake up.Gays rule! Kathy Griffin's new Bravo special Tired Hooker was well tired.Rehashing Kardashian and pussy jokes is not exactly funny.ABC cancelling All My Children and One Life To Live to make room for programs currently seen on basic cable.The 2 shows were supposed to be revived online then on Thanksgiving that plan was pulled which meant it really was the end.

Best of 2011

What do the end of Don't Ask Don't Tell,the new ABC show Revenge and Britney's "Criminal" have in common? They were the best highlights of 2011.We still have a long way to go where gay marriage is concerned.Now gay men and women can serve openly in the military without any issues.I was still miffed at ABC for cancelling V who redeemed themselves with the guilty pleasures Revenge and Once Upon A Time.Along with Ringer I was now able to invest in three new shows that weren't reality based.I didn't give up on reality shows entirely.Storage Wars,Hoarders,1000 Ways To Die,Real Housewives just to name a few I still watched.Britney Spears released Femme Fatale earlier this year.Each track was a hit but only one resonated with me,Criminal.We Found Love by Rihanna was one of those infectious dance songs and her best.Kelly Clarkson's Stronger is one of my favorite albums of the year.Dore Alley and Folsom Street Fair continued to be fun excursions for me.I spent most of the time on Facebook and Twitter when I didn't go to San Francisco (more on that later) I'm especially thankful for my family and friends who rallied around me during difficult times.Lets pray for a healthy 2012 for my dad.

Happy Hump Day

Merry Christmas

Folsom Street Fair Moves

Folsom Street Fair has always been held the last weekend of September.For 2012 it has been pushed back a weekend earlier...on the 23rd.Blame Larry Ellison and his company Oracle for the new date.They are probably the most powerful company in the world.What Larry wants,a big Oracle convention at the end of September,apparently he gets.After the way the weather was this year I am happy with the change.Some people won't be thrilled with the new shift.Hey at least Folsom Street Fair wasn't cancelled right?

Happy Hump Day

My Christmas Thoughts

As Christmas approaches this coming weekend thought I'd share some thoughts about what the holiday means to me.I still have memories of spending Christmas with my late grandparents in Watsonville,eating tamales and those next door neighbor's homemade cookies.Since moving to Hollister my opinion has shifted.I really don't care about Christmas like I used to.My family has splintered.I have no contact with my mom's side of the family.Dad has been a number one priority since he had the major surgery in October.My family (like cousin Juanita) and friends are what matters to me these days.I have a lot of responsibilities thrust upon me recently.I'm determined to carry on the traditions I'm known for in 2012,like Folsom Street Fair and meeting hot guys.Happy Holidays to all.

Happy Hump Day

Today's Hump Day man is Kennedy Carter,whose Twitter avi caught my eye.You can see why.Can Kennedy rock a jock strap or what? Judging from this photo hell YES and a lot more.

Black XXXMas

This weekend Industry and Gus Presents Black XXXMas,now in its 6th year.Local DJ Luke Johnstone and Grammy nominated Abel headline what is best described as leather mixed with the holiday spirit.APG and Jay Santos are the Upstairs DJs.I have been to Black XXXMas once at 1015 Folsom St and it was fun.This one is at the Factory (525 Harrison St) Advance tickets are $30,$40 at the door.

Happy Hump Day

Today's Hump Day man is Mitch Branson.You might recognize him from his work with COLT Studios.Recently Mitch did a flip flop scene with Kyle King in Lucas Entertainment's Gentlemen Vol 3 Executives.I just love how his butt pops in the photo!
